#ICYMI what I was #writing on my #blog on a day like this in 2025. > October Spread 2025 https://itinerantlibrarian.wordpress.com/2025/10/01/october-spread-2025/ Seeing this reminded me of the spread, so I may try to do it again for this year if I get the time. #Tarot #AlchemicalThoughts #Halloween #occult #cartomancy #divination #pagan #heathen #witch #esoterica

> GOP has shocking slim edge over Dems on affordability with ‘swing’ voters, conservative group finds https://nypost.com/2026/10/01/us-news/gop-has-shocking-slim-edge-over-dems-on-affordability-with-swing-voters-conservative-group-finds/ Keep in mind, it is a Right Wing pollster doing this, but still, it shows the #stupid is strong out there. #GOP #PartyOfStupid #poll

Just another example of that kind, affectionate, #Christian love we keep hearing about, #Catholic edition. > Nearly 1,000 children sexually abused at three Massachusetts dioceses by 270 Catholic clerics over decades: report https://nypost.com/2026/09/30/us-news/nearly-1000-children-sexually-abused-at-three-massachusetts-dioceses-by-270-catholic-clerics-over-decades-report/ I don't think this is quite what Matthew 19:14 meant. #religion #crime

Mumps? Oh FFS. Again, you can thank the antivax morons most likely. > Mumps outbreak hits San Diego State football team before Pac 12 opener https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2026/10/01/mumps-outbreak-San-Diego-State-football/6521790862177/ #GetVaccinated #health

> Russia has destroyed “one third of all the books printed in Ukraine this year.” https://lithub.com/russia-has-destroyed-one-third-of-all-the-books-printed-in-ukraine-this-year/ Because it is not enough to kill a people; you got to destroy their culture too according to the Russians. #Russia #Ukraine #warfare #books #reading #culture

When I was a wee youngling entering #academia, an early lesson I learned was that for academics their fights, arguments, and drama in meetings are so high because the stakes are so low. True then, true now. Fuck. . . #HigherEd #meetings

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Two of Cups. Trust your intuition as well as body language you observe in assessing new partnerships. It's not what they say; it's what they don't say. It's what they do and how they do it. #GothicTarotOfVampires #occult #cartomancy #divination #pagan #heathen #witch #Itinerant Librarian #esoterica

my support of Rojava is critical support, with my main criticisms being the cult of personality around Öcalan and the dangers of nationalism and hierarchisation. my support of EZLN is critical for the same reasons. of the two, I simpathise with the EZLN more because the leader figure is stated to be explicitly a fiction, has done a better job of undermining his own authority at least in theory, and generally has a theory that is more acommodating of different modes of governance. the Zapatista...

autonomist: A longstanding tradition for independent action groups. Rooted in New Left intersectionalism and anarchist concepts like the affinity group and propaganda of the deed, but often divorced from anarchist theory and more devoted to punctual causes. A group professing to be "autonome" is rejecting centralised chains of command. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonome demo: short for "demonstration". A street protest, typically a peaceful march wit...

a movement's explicit support for thieves, prisoners, sexual deviants, undocumented immigrants, squatters, and sex workers is a precondition for me to trust it in any way.

You want my position statement? Here's my position fucking statement. Anarchy for life, anarchy until death, I'll go down fighting before compromising, no bending knees, no to any authority, the ends never justify the means, all governments have only the right to be abolished, death to all those who stand in the way of freedom.

If you have the stomach for a tragedy film I urge you to watch Zielona granica ("Green Border", 2023), on the current situation of the Belarus/Poland refugee abuse zone. This is what they are trying to set up at the Egyptian border for the Palestinians who manage to survive the Israeli attempt at ethnic cleansing; this is what they want to set up in the USA/Mexico border; this is the UK goal with Rwanda; this is what the laws to criminalise sea rescuers aim at with the Mediter...

* pro-Solidarity Collectives / Eastern European anarchists * anti-Israeli occupation * no bothsides-ism re: Putin, Zionism, colonialism * anti-government / anti-authoritarian / police abolitionist * pro-self-determination of sex workers are there even any groups or collectives left in Germany that align explicitly with these positions? honest question.

I wonder what happens when the fascists figure out they can make any leftist group here readily implode overnight by throwing the equivalent of the tē kallistē apple into a plenum, except instead of "to the most beautiful" you just have to write "to the most unproblematic".

Reposting upon demand: People around me are all like, "after this election we really have to mobilise for the protest against the AfD Parteitag in Essen". I really fail to see what good can come out of that whatsoever. Here's some things I would like to see more energy being dedicated to, than the neverending and entirely pointless plenum-demo cycle: - Organize Signal groups for each city to report on sightings of nazis and call for help in case of attacks, with pe...

This kalpa sucks ass but at least it gives me an easy litmus test for "leftists": 1. Do you believe Russia is unambiguously the wrong side? 2. Do you believe Israel is unambiguously the wrong side? 3. Do you believe in sex worker self-determination? Then when someone answers "yes" to all 3 I know they can be my comrades, and if they answer "no" to any of them--or, even worse, "yeah but"--then I know where to expect to be t...

I don't think most Germans understand how it feels to be a noncitizen right now, when every party across the spectrum is falling over backwards to be the first to deport us. The right is pretty open about their colonial mindset, but the left is more insidious. While the right will flat out shout Ausländer Raus, leftists will cover their Eurocentrism in denial by accusing you not of failing to integrate, but of being uneducated, inconsiderate, problematic, antisemitic, islamist, campist,...

> Extra-European Anarchism would contextualize violence as an appropriate part of the human experience. Currently violence is a problem. Not due to the violence that people are capable of inflicting on each other but due to the monopolization of violence by the state. Humans are capable of violence; capable of, interested in, repulsed by, and affected by violence. An Extra-European Anarchism would not attempt to channel violence into a specifically socially mandated form (like sports) but...
