samueldelany

Samuel Delany, holding his 2018 Best Scifi/Fantasy Novelette, for ‘The Hermit of Houston.’ From Juniper Green’s review of Hermit: “It’s puzzling and deserves re-reading…; it’s idea-based science fiction with an intimate look at human beings; it shows an analytic, practical, bot nonetheless tender, and always wondering view on relationship and connection; it’s compassionate, subversive, funny, tragic, and acutely observed. It’s also rambling and without point, but that’s the feature, not a bug.”

Wanna do direct action but you can’t run, can’t fight, can’t deal with stress, can’t risk getting arrested? Not near a community to support? You can still do something.

Like write to prisoners.

Prisons try to disappear people, isolate them, crush them. Don’t let that happen.

Write to activists in prison, write to trans people in prison, write to isolated prisoners, write to prisoners who no one else thinks are worth writing to.

Write to prisoners.

hunterinabrowncoat

Are there any programs or websites that help facilitate this which are based on the UK that you know of? Most of the info I’ve found tends to be US-based or just gov.uk general info about writing to someone you know in prison.

But given that I’m chronically ill or seems like a great way to actually do something and be an active part of change.

queeranarchism

Great to hear that you’re interested!

The Anarchist Black Cross is a prisoner support network that has chapters in a lot of countries and cities. In the UK there are:

London: https://network23.org/londonabc/

Brighton: https://www.brightonabc.org.uk/

Bristol: https://bristolabc.wordpress.com/

Other UK based groups include:

SOAS Detainee Support: https://soasdetaineesupport.wordpress.com (focused on supporting people in migrant detention)

The Bent Bars project: http://www.bentbarsproject.org/ (focused on LGBTIAQ+ prisoners)

The Empty Cages Collective: http://www.prisonabolition.org/

Prison Action London: http://www.prisonabolition.org/prison-action-london/

You can also find a prisoner to write to on your own via:

http://prisonersolidarity.net/data-explorer

Do check out some of the ‘do’s and don’t’ on one of these websites before you start, there are some basics like ‘don’t talk about illegal activities’ and ‘don’t stop writing without being honest to the person about the fact that you’re going to stop writing’ that are essential to know, and a lot of less important tips that just make it easier to start writing to someone you don’t know yet. Goodluck!

queeranarchism

Shoutout to @freackthejester for pointing out Black and Pink (http://www.blackandpink.org), that can help you find LGBTIAQ+ prisoners in prison in the US, with chapters in:

Dorchester: [email protected]

Boise: [email protected] – Chapter page

Chicago- [email protected] – Chapter page

Milwaukee – [email protected]

New Orleans- [email protected] – Chapter page

NYC- [email protected] – Chapter page

Someone also requested resources for Australia so I’m going to add those to this reblog chain:

Anarchist Black Cross Oceania https://www.facebook.com/abcoceania/

Anarchist Black Cross Melbourne https://abcmelb.wordpress.com/

Indigenous Social Justice Association Melbourne http://www.isjamelbourne.com/

Antifascist Action Brisbane has also hosted prisoner solidarity events (https://www.facebook.com/AntifascistBrisbane/)

And whenever there is no explicit prisoner-support organization, ask your local anarchists! Most anarchist groups do some prisoner support as well since supporting those who defy the state is basic anarchist praxis. This long list of Australia anarchist organizations probably includes groups that do some prisoner support: https://anarchy.org.au/directory/

Also contributed by people in the notes of this post so far:

Canada: Inmate Innk Calgary, http://www.inmateink.ca/

Spreading because I find prisoner reform is better than prisoner isolation

queeranarchism

Honestly, if you wanna ‘reform’ a prisoner, don’t bother writing.

If you write, write because you want to support people that experience daily state violence. Write because you recognize that no one should be in prison. Write in solidarity.

If you wanna play social worker, don’t write.

persistentlyfem-deactivated2021

do the radical feminists on this website even realise that the vast majority of erotic butch-fem imagery they post or reblog was taken and participated in by lesbians who started creating such imagery in direct opposition to and in defiance of radical feminists?

the title of the erotic lesbian magazine ‘On Our Backs’ was an outright mockery of the anti-porn and sex work feminist magazine ‘Off Our Backs’. most of the images circulated on tumblr were featured in On Our Backs. many were taken FOR it. most feature implicit dynamics that radical feminism explicitly objects to.

I wonder why ethical consistency and knowledge of history isn’t more of a concern for the radical feminists of tumblr.

ericainchoate

As a proud former contributor to On Our Backs, I can even tell you with every assurance that I wasn’t even the only trans (woman) one. :)

Which is pretty cool.

smallestdogswilldie

why do u guys think intrusive thoughts are shit like “hnnhnnnng Ball” its literally like. unwanted thoughts about poisoning dinner guests or killing your children or incest like its not some Fun Haha Relatable Mental Illness feel! its vey stressful and theyre almost impossible to get rid of

bustarose

In addition to the ones mentioned its also shit like breaking your own bones or gouging your eyes out or weird fucked up sexual shit that you arent into but the thought just comes out of nowhere and you feel disgusted with yourself even though you know you can’t control it and you know rationally you have absolutely no desire to act on these intrusive thoughts but you can’t help but be disgusted with yourself for the intrusive thoughts being there anyways

white mentally ill ppl really need to realize that just bc we are mentally ill, that doesnt negate our whiteness. acting like a baby and weaponizing our mental illnesses when being called out for racism isnt a result of mental illness, its a result of whiteness and white fragility. mentally ill ppl who are not white get demonized for showing the same symptoms that get us sympathy and its important to understand that.

kontrazvedka-deactivated2019031

im reminded of this post bc a white latina called the police on a black woman in brooklyn for standing near her doorway to get away from the rain to wait for her uber

the reason why is bc she blamed the whole incident on her autism and said that it was abt her feeling trapped, not abt racism. what shes doing is weaponizing her mental illness and trying to cover up her white entitlement and white fragility. ive had ppl refuse to accommodate my mental illness in the past, but ive never ever once felt the need to call the cops over something so silly, especially considering the way cops are.
