The Sex Workers Outreach Project has a program where they will send you a list of 10, 25, 50, or 100 incarcerated sex workers who have consented to receive correspondence, in this case holiday letters. I signed up to receive ten names. I enjoy sending and receiving mail. And I know that receiving mail helps the incarcerated remember that they matter while also sending a message to their fellow inmates that people in the outside world care about them. Sometimes this can save lives. So as soon as I get this contact information, I will divy up the names between myself and a few other friends and begin these new correspondences. 

If you are interested in getting involved, the SWOP Behind Bars website is a font of resources for those who want to help.

Cool there’s been asbestos in Johnson & Johnson baby powder this whole time and they have been aware of it for decades and done nothing

[postmarxed-deactivated20190429]

@laeffy yeah you uh. Need to stop doing that immediately and maybe go to the doctor to make sure you don’t have mesothelioma

this is so fucking sick

FYI, this applies to talc & talc-based powders / body products in general— J&J knew about this for decades because talc & asbestos occur together naturally (the minerals literally grow together in nature, have similar compositions, and are / were mined together), and they’re difficult to cleanly filter out from each other.

It’s old knowledge that, unless you’re involved in mining, mineralogy, or occupational health & safety, has been deliberately buried from both the public’s and regulators’ knowledge.

CNBC’s article + their writeup on the Reuters report revealing J&J’s cover-ups go into more detail on their corporate liability and the impact of J&J’s products specifically…

…But I cannot overstate that people’s best option right now is to look for products in general that do not contain talc at all, regardless of the manufacturer, and to be vigilant in seeking appropriate healthcare (and/or legal action if required) if symptoms arise.

This goes for body use (diaper powder, chafing powder— this is where the cases of ovarian cancer are coming from), for any use where powder may be inhaled (hair, face), or will have prolonged exposure to mucus membranes (eye makeup, bath bombs, etc.).

J&J are not the only ones who have covered this data up, and companies that aren’t sued will absolutely continue to do so. Be safe & be vigilant.

misguided ppl who say “humans are evil since we only do good things bc it makes us feel good not bc it makes other ppl feel good” practice an odd form of selective hearing. by ur own admission the internal motivation of humans 2 do good comes from the fact that, well, ppl feel good when instilling good feelings in others….. doesnt sound very evil or selfish to me…. aueaux contraireaux, it sounds almost…. empathethic…… compassionate………….. goodwilled, one could say…………….

Not a drill: Shit Hot People’s Politburo interviewed ANGELA DAVIS and Debbie Kilroy of Sisters Inside at last week’s Imagining Abolition conference in Brisbane. 

We talk about communism, prison abolitionist theory and practice, what the stakes are, and why a politics of solidarity is essential for our task. Angela and Debbie were both extremely generous with their time, and we can all really benefit from their knowledge and experience in our work as revolutionary organisers. 

This podcast also starts with probably the stupidest thing anyone has ever said to Angela Davis, and she was very game and enjoyed our goofs a lot. It was a pleasure, as well as an honour, to interview her about her history in the proletarian class struggle. 

I have to say that due to the nature of the struggle we’re fighting, some of the things we discuss in this podcast are really hard to hear. Debbie describes the most atrocious kinds of prison violence imaginable very early on in the podcast. Skip from 7 minutes to 9 minutes if you want to avoid this.

“When I say that women are oppressed, I do not mean that men are never oppressed. Men are, not because of their gender, but because they are poor men, or racially despised men, or homosexual men, or men who do not conform to strict gender stereotypes. Women are oppressed in these ways too, and, in addition, because of their gender.”

February 4, London - Sentencing Solidarity with Stansted 15

Last year 15 people peacefully stopped a secretive deportation flight from leaving. After a 10 week trial they were found guilty of a terror-related charge. Join us outside Chelmsford Crown Court to stand with the Stansted 15 as they face sentencing and to demand an end to brutal deportation flights, inhumane indefinite detention, and the hostile environment.

Treyarch/Activision is a multi-million dollar company that works its thousands of employees to the bone on crunch time to crank out Call of Duty games on command.

Motion Twin is an anarcho-syndicalist worker-owned cooperative with no boss.

Motion Twin’s Dead Cells just beat Treyarch/Activion’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for Best Action Game at the Game Awards.

Anarchism wins, capitalists lose, life is good.

newsflash - trans men don’t suddenly become society’s elite for saying “i’m a guy, please respect that.” you know how many trans men are beaten, raped, abused, otherwise assaulted, harassed, and forced to suicide because they’re trans? i know this may be shocking to you as someone who lives and breathes for tumblr.com, but the entire world isn’t some liberal utopia where trans men are so universally loved and praised and revered and they sure as fuck aren’t respected on principle the way so many of you think they are, going so far as to pretend that certain marginalized groups, by virtue of existence, are living a separated life of luxury is beyond insulting.
