Someday I'm going to rant about how much of a cunt Thomas Edison was and how almost everything wrong with the film industry is his fault

"On most days, Barcelona is noisy, its air toxic. But this Friday, most of the city was quiet and breathable, traffic arteries blocked, cruise ships rerouted and flights canceled. Briefly, and partially, Barcelona felt like a climate-compatible city of the future, even if its engines had been shut down for other reasons altogether. The noise and smell, normally everywhere, had been focalized by mass demonstrations, riot police and swerving helicopters, and as night fell, burning barricades."

Reminder that food banks are going to be hit hardest by brexit, and any personal stockpiling you do should also be helping to stockup your local food bank. Here are the items most food banks need more than anything:

UHT milk
Long life fruit juice
Coffee
Tinned fruit
Tinned vegetables
Curry or pasta sauce
Confectionary or biscuits
Tinned rice or custard
Tinned potatoes
Breakfast cereal
Rice

You can find your nearest food bank with this tool: https://www.trusselltrust.org/get-help/find-a-foodbank/

Some supermarkets also have food bank donation points inside them.

We need to keep ourselves safe by keeping eachother safe.

I'm not sure doublethink quite covers pro-brexit arguments. They're on at least 4 layers of doublethink at this point. This is... octuplethink?

#ClassWar

Imagine obsessing so much with conspiracies that you claim this rich dude's monument to hubris wasn't just a monument to hubris but also a muslim crime against hinduism....

If you think someone should be barred from participation in a process that directly affects them, because you consider their intellectual capacity beneath you, that's just ableism tbh...

And this isn't even over direct participation! It's over putting an X in a box to decide who makes the decisions for you!

There's a VERY good reason why Youth Assemblies are such a big part of communal functioning in Rojava. Because their opinions and (more importantly) their consent matters

How To Regrow Everything

As much as I'm into Social Ecology and Bookchin's school of thought, I can't help but yawn when I'm reading his denser works. So I thought I'd put together a wee Social Ecology reading list made up of easily-digestible essays not written by Bookchin:
