So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

Rich people are the antithetical to a fair world, mutually incompatible with any improvement in education, environment, Healthcare, social justice, anti imperialism, worker rights and indigenous rights and even lgbTqia2 rights.

We need to forcibly abolish these modern monarchs and get rid of the state and the police defending them.

The Four Sacred Artistic Motives:

-what if this bad thing was good instead

-how about Make-Believe Land can have whatever I want

-would that be fucked up or what

-I think that shit's hot

What I was taught growing up: Wild edible plants and animals were just so naturally abundant that the indigenous people of my area, namely western Washington state, didn't have to develop agriculture and could just easily forage/hunt for all their needs.

The first pebble in what would become a landslide: Native peoples practiced intentional fire, which kept the trees from growing over the camas praire.

The next: PNW native peoples intentionally planted and cultivated forest gardens, and we can still see the increase in biodiversity where these gardens were today.

The next: We have an oak prairie savanna ecosystem that was intentionally maintained via intentional fire (which they were banned from doing for like, 100 years and we're just now starting to do again), and this ecosystem is disappearing as Douglas firs spread, invasive species take over, and land is turned into European-style agricultural systems.

The Land Slide: Actually, the native peoples had a complex agricultural and food processing system that allowed them to meet all their needs throughout the year, including storing food for the long, wet, dark winter. They collected a wide variety of plant foods (along with the salmon, deer, and other animals they hunted), from seaweeds to roots to berries, and they also managed these food systems via not only burning, but pruning, weeding, planting, digging/tilling, selectively harvesting root crops so that smaller ones were left behind to grow and the biggest were left to reseed, and careful harvesting at particular times for each species that both ensured their perennial (!) crops would continue thriving and that harvest occurred at the best time for the best quality food. American settlers were willfully ignorant of the complex agricultural system, because being thus allowed them to claim the land wasn't being used. Native peoples were actively managing the ecosystem to produce their food, in a sustainable manner that increased biodiversity, thus benefiting not only themselves but other species as well.

So that's cool. If you want to read more, I suggest "Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of Northwestern North America" by Nancy J. Turner

got so pissed about shitlib activists and grifters i made a whole comic about it. it has been tough seeing how large online platforms continue to be misused by grifters and grift-aspirers. the “uncensored” tour by shaun king and khaled beydoun has angered me a lot these past few days, especially because many people still view khaled as a reliable source of “news”. these people are antithetical to the greater cause, and this is an important thing to critique, especially since both of these people have deeply troubled history within activism (look up khaled beydoun new zealand massacre if you really want to lose your lunch). instead of platforming and supporting these people, get your news directly from the news sources that they rip and put on black squares, listen to palestinians on the ground, and look for direct mutual aid like @gazamutualaid and @palestineasdiqa on instagram. these two are just one example of the celebrity activist’s grift.

On the other side of the black box is a smaller bag of money labeled “proceeds”.

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

Dear friends, comrades, enemies and those to come.

By now I’m sure many of you have heard about the call for autonomous action to disrupt the defense summit in Seattle on the 12th. I want to urge you all from around the region to come out, and come out hard.

Let’s be real for a minute. We’ve been weak and in retreat. Gentrification, overdoses and suicides, the rapid expansion of policing and the general misery this world thrusts upon us as an unpayable debt for the audacity to be born has taken its toll on us all. But slowly we’ve be getting back on our feet, helping our friends and comrades back onto theirs, fighting old wounds to extend a hand to new friends, accomplices and comrades. We stumble forward, awkwardly, trying to regain our footing. We’re rusty and out of practice, trying to take our time to cautiously rebuild our power.

Unfortunately, time and caution are not on our side. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you all the worsening state of the world, I’m sure that like me much of your free time is spent scrolling through the horror – the Palestinian people trapped and starved facing massacre after massacre on a historic scale, the collapse of revolution into civil war and brutal ethnic cleansing in Sudan, new forces of reaction across the globe, more violence by police as they increase their stranglehold of power, new climate disasters and unpredictable changes in weather patterns, cost of living going up and up with no signs of stopping.

You know it, you hear it and see it all the time, but do you feel it any more? Have you shut off your heart and your terror and your rage just to make it through the next day? Have you tamed the burning desire to go to war against this wretched order just to be able to look at yourself in the mirror? Have you let the fear take over and bind your actions so you can stay “safe” and “stable” while your friends and comrades and the rest of the world burns? But what kind of life is that? At that point, I think we’re already defeated and dead, just waiting for our bodies – and the police – to catch up.

I feel it too, I am so scared and dreading the future. But as I see it my options are either live up to what my professed beliefs and desires for anarchy demand of me, or promptly kill myself to no longer be accomplice to the bloody death machine of the state and capitalism which we all have a hand in making run.

I still have a fighting spirit left in me, I hope you do too. I still want to destroy the united states – and all states, I hope you do too. I still want the dangerous freedom of anarchy rather than the submissive humiliation of order, “safety,” “stability,” “normality,” I hope you do too.

If you do, I hope you will answer the call for autonomous action on the 12th. I hope to (not) see your beautiful black-masked faces and embrace you in struggle.

Why the 12th? Why not any other day? Because it’s an opportunity to fight. Because some people will be there who deserve to feel the fire they rain down upon millions around the world.

Think of Tacoma, think of Boeing, thing of all the conversations we’ve been having in the streets with strangers? People, who are not us but who are maybe much more like us than we think, want to fight. They are looking for an opportunity.

And what of you? Of us? At what point are you willing to fight? What risks are you willing to take, to not take, and why? No one will fight for us, fight in our place, and while we come up for reasons why it’s not the time the situation will get worse and worse and it will get harder and more risky to fight. Will you wait til the guns come out? Will you wait until it personally affects you? Will you wait until more and more of your old friends and comrades disappear? Will you wait until it’s too late?

Let’s give them, and ourselves, that opportunity to fight. Whether or not they take it is up to them, but let’s not wait until we’re assured to win or to have the backing of thousands to fight. We’ll be waiting forever.

Tepid, cautious actions are no longer serving us.

So makes plans, come prepared, and fight well.
