Today, in Understory (a support group for activists that I co-facilitate), we talked about the writing exercise I created to help folks get oriented for the year ahead. I don't think we can balance caring for ourselves, tending to our relationships, and taking action by accident in these times.
Worksheet: Staying Whole in 2026
If you want to enter 2026 with intention, I encourage you to take twenty minutes to write yourself a plan — not a resolution, but a map for staying intact. Write by hand if you can. Don’t worry about ...

Prison is where anarchy came into my life full force. It was during the last 7 or 8 months of my sentence. And I began understanding the world around me better than any other time in my life

"My friends and family don't believe that I'm sick because I look OK on the outside" ❤️‍🩹

So many heartbreaking stories from this weekend's International Long Covid Awareness Day event at the Vancouver Art Gallery
Colorful pillowcases on display at the Vancouver art gallery sharing messages from long Covid sufferers. March 15, 2025 Jacob age 39 shares: "my friends and family don't believe that I'm sick because I look okay on the outside. They don't understand why I had to leave my job. I miss my old life and the activities I used to enjoy. I need the government to step up and help us!"

Martin Sostre (1923–2015) was a politicized prisoner and jailhouse lawyer who eventually identified as a revolutionary anarchist and laid the foundation for contemporary Black anarchism. He believed it was necessary to dismantle both the prison and the state. (1/3)

The image is from a postcard demanding an end to Sostre's torture and commutation of his sentence, c. 1975. Courtesy of Ewa & Hania Dubinsky.

instagram stories post from thesameerproject: Salam... In terms of the Oscars win, representation on a Western platform that portrays our men as "trrorists" and our women as "oppressed victims" is nothing to celebrate or even acknowledge. To us, the Oscars is nothing but a celebration of zionist racist colonial narratives and is the center and face of hypercapitalist fascist elite. Now let on, when the Oscar speech is won by a liberal Zionist that doesn't even say the word "genocide" and equates the relationship between colonizer and colonized. This is called normalization and we do not accept this. We are most definitely not "intertwined" and the fact that he centered israhelli safety and mentioned October 7 hostages but not the tens of thousands of hostages (including children). The whole thing was ridiculous.

"In this society, nearly all power is distributed according to the imperative to turn a profit. And since the essence of profit is the concentrating of wealth in fewer hands, it should be no surprise that the disparities in our society are intensifying so rapidly."

This AND mutual aid should be empowering in more than an emotional or ideological sense. Part of the aim is to change power dynamics amongst the people

And many — regardless of their color — still never understood mutual aid. It’s not just applicable to money and donations, it’s about direct action. Some ppl in another part of the city got problems with fascists? Yo, let’s help them. Thats also mutual aid.

NO CHARGES
Super Bowl halftime show performer holds about Sudan/Gaza solidarity flag in protest By The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The cast member who displayed the Palestinian flag with the word “GAZA” in protest during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show will not face charges, New Orleans police said Monday. The banner combined the black stripes of the flags honored by the Sudanese and Palestinian peoples and also had the word SUDAN on it. The cast member, one of dozens of dancers clad in identical black sweats, held it high while standing on the roof of the car that was a centerpiece of the hip-hop artist’s performance, and then jumped off the stage and ran across the field before being tackled by several men in suits.
