We practice abolition in the tiny moments, in the quiet rebellions: asking the real question, staying for the long answer, holding space for messy humanity.
These lines are little offerings, soft weapons against a world that wants us hardened & silent.

I want to say something clearly. If you come to my page thinking you’re “outing” me or exposing my criminal record, you’re not revealing anything new. What you are revealing is how comfortable you are reproducing the punishment logic of the state.

I talk about how charity & carceral logic collide, so let’s look at this post by @SecondChancesSA
When an organisation that claims to support children of people in prison starts posting name & shame content, with sirens & surveillance stills, it’s not just hypocrisy, it’s harm.

Every year during Anti-Poverty Week, I find myself frustrated by how the public conversation about poverty and criminalisation plays out. The narratives are always the same: predictable, comfortable, and stripped of complexity.

For friends who are talking with young people about our Xmas cards for prisoners project, these slides might help guide conversations gently. They offer age-appropriate ways to talk about care, kindness, & connection to remind kids that everyone deserves to feel valued at Xmas.

In a world that teaches us to discard people when harm happens, choosing repair is a radical act. It’s how we resist the carceral logic that says punishment is the only way to respond to pain.

The poverty machine speaks in slogans. It tells us to “have a go,” that “nobody wants to work,” that being poor is a choice. This is gaslighting on a national scale.
Let’s unpack some of that.

Carceral gaslighting is when the system tells you one thing but does the opposite. It dresses up violence as care, punishment as rehabilitation & control as protection.

BINGO & make it radical.
This is about everyday actions that bring us closer to freedom. Abolition isn’t theory or slogans, it’s practice, imagination, refusal, & connection. Each square is a small act of resistance, a reminder that another world is possible & already being built.

Ok, we’re at the pointy end of the election, and you might need some sharp, grounded responses to get through the next day or so, to cut through the absolute nonsense that is out there right now.
Remember, we CAN talk back, because our voices matter, because the future is political & personal

Apathy is how the worst people win.
If you’re sick of hearing “it doesn’t matter who I vote for” these suggested come backs might be for you.
Because not caring about elections is a privilege, and some people don’t have the luxury of pretending politics don’t affect them.
