Everything that is typically rented can and should be collectively owned instead. Not in some hypothetical “post-revolution” but right damn now

[anarchopuppy]

People who already rent or would like to collectively own pool their resources, either (preferably) the material goods in question or else money to buy them

The goods are collected and, if need be, stored somewhere for use by the customer-owners

If fees need to be collected (for maintenance/repair/replacement, or fuel, or to pay off loans that were taken out to buy the good) they are managed by the customer-owners democratically. Any excess profit is either used to expand the offered services or donated to other local orgs (e.g. Food Not Bombs, community gardens, etc)

This model has been applied to everything from tools to cars to housing and it works great. And if money needs to be collected (rather than surviving solely on donations), the rates are much, much lower than conventional rental services because none of it is going to line the pockets of some bourgeois whose only contribution was having the money to buy up something that people need

Finally posting my piece for the @very-sincerely-yours-zine, which I was so proud to be a part of! This roughly A4/letter-size linocut features Holmes and Watson in retirement, from the perspective of Watson writing at his cluttered desk and looking out on Holmes tending his bees in the garden against a hilly South Downs backdrop.

The physical book has sold out, but digital copies of the zine remain available here!

Maybe the reason Sherlock always disapproves of John’s narratives is because of how he describes other men—

“Our door was opened to admit as fine a specimen of manhood as ever passed through it. He was a very tall young man, golden-mustached, blue-eyed, with a skin which had been burned by tropical suns, and a springy step which showed that the huge frame was as active as it was strong.” 👀

"The Musgrave Ritual" (1986)

Musgrave: "But you, you, I have noted, are still turning to practical ends those powers with which you used to amaze us at college."

Holmes: "Yes, I'm still living by my wits. And how is the dear wife?"

Musgrave: "I'm not married, Holmes."

Holmes: "How wise!"

Tobacco Samples. I had the incredible pleasure of getting to contribute work to the @very-sincerely-yours-zine . The final collected book is outrageously good, and I feel very fortunate to have been included alongside the rest of this book. Huge shout-out to the organizers Minh and Sher, who were very gracious about some health stuff that cropped up for me during production and who put together a really terrific project.

If you're a Holmes fan, strongly recommend checking out the leftovers sale on now. If you're in Toronto, you can also find a copy in the ACD Collection at the public library (!!!😭cool)
