This is exploitative model is largely the fault of Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell.
"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."

#amediting a text about a 1689 Mexican play that's like "Hmmm you think we're weird for sacrificing humans, yet in your religion you eat Christ's flesh and drink his blood? OK then."

Changing my sole proprietorship address upon moving home is proving so difficult (I'm about 18 logins/authentications/portals deep at this point) I'm just going to wait to update it with taxes next year. God I love government websites ❤️ #freelancelife #bureaucracy

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do.
So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

There's actually an extremely large scholarly literature about this. With some regularity, dictators order their troops to shoot protestors, the troops are like "wtf no," and then the dictator falls. I'll dig ho and dump some cites below in a second
