REPRESENTATION IS A TRAP

[instagram thread by activistjayden. title “affinity groups: an anarchist form of organizing”. 1. affinity groups are powerful: relative to their small size, affinity groups can achieve a disproportionately powerful impact. in contrast to traditional top-down structures, they are free to adapt to any situation, they need not pass their decisions through a complicated process if ratification, and all of the participants can act and react instantly without waiting for orders - tet with a clear idea of what to expect from one another. 2. the affinity group is a flexible model: a particular team can act together over and over as an affinity group, but the members can also break up into smaller affinity groups, participate in other affinity groups, or act outside the affinity group structure. freedom to associate and organize as each person sees fit is a fundamental anarchist principle; this promotes redundancy, so no one person or group is essential to the functioning of the whole, and different groups can reconfigure as needed. 3. decide your appropriate level of security: affinity groups are resistant to infiltration because all members share history and and intimacy with each other, and no one outside the group need be informed of their plans or activities. once assembled, an affinity group should establish a shared set of security practices and stick to them. in some cases, you can afford to be public and transparent about your activities. in other cases, what hoes on in the group should never be spoken of outside it, even after all its activities are long completed. in some cases, no one except the participants in the group should know that it exists at all. you and your comrades can discuss and prepare for actions without acknowledging to outsiders that you constitute an affinity group. remember, it is easier to pass from a high security group protocol to a low one than vice versa. 4. pick a scale that’s right for you. an affinity group can range from two to perhaps as many as fifteen individuals, depending on your goals. however, no group should be so numerous that an informal conversation about pressing matters is impossible. you can always split up into two or more groups if need be. in actions that require driving, the most straightforward system is often to have one affinity group for each vehicle. 5. go into action. stop wondering what’s going to happen, or why nothing’s happening. get together with your friends and start deciding what will happen. don’t go through life in passive spectator mode, waiting to be told what to do. get in the habit of discussing what you want to see happen - and making those ideas reality.]

Haven't seen anyone talking about it here, but vocal transfeminist and writer Tara Knight has been sent a threat from the fbi insisting that she stop speaking about "radical gender ideology" and get rid of the past 3 years of her work.

A black trans woman is getting personally threatened by the fbi for being a transfeminist. What the fuck. Hopefully this gets more reach than my usual posts so that people who are able to can support her.

i love charlie brown so much. what a miserable little child.

butterflypeaflowertea

Charlie Brown, undaunted, seeks tenderness and fulfillment on every side: in baseball, in building kites, in his relationship with his dog, Snoopy, in playing with the girls. He always fails. His solitude becomes an abyss, his inferiority complex is pervasive—tinged by the constant suspicion (which the reader also comes to share) that Charlie Brown is not inferior. Worse: he is absolutely normal. He is like everybody else. This is why he is always on the brink of suicide or at least of nervous breakdown: because he seeks salvation through the routine formulas suggested to him by the society in which he lives...

i must say this almost completely online conflation of "punk rock" with "inherently morally good" is like. one of the most laughable things ive ever seen

if my journey into booktube is teaching me anything it's that much in the way that the mass-produce commercial object of the book is often fetishized as having innate cultural and intellectual value by virtue of Being A Book, many "bookish content creators" seem to fancy themselves as having something innately intelligent and interesting to say solely because they are Talking About Books

One thing the Visa/Mastercard censorship stuff reminds me of is the Comics Code/Hays Code - oligopolies taking it upon themselves to regulate speech because anyone who wants to make/sell stuff at scale has no choice but to do business with them, under pressure from outside moralist activists, partly to head off the possibility of government regulation, partly to avoid bad publicity, perhaps partly out of sympathy with the activists among the relevant elements of the bureaucracy.

And none of these people are willing to do more than record it on their cell phones. It's your duty to unarrest someone if you see them getting arrested. Be fucking brave, please.
