In the second part of my constructed realities essay duology, I finally sit down to talk about Angela Orosco from Silent Hill 2, the worlds abusers create for the abused, what she represents to me, and why I think she's such a powerful character

In Part I of a two-part essay series, I talk about heightening contradictions, the terror of living in someone else's story, why Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club is a tragic figure, and why Maria from Silent Hill 2 is one of the most horrifyingly relatable characters I've ever encountered

In my latest newsletter, I talk about the promise of the internet, the horrors of social media, the fear of performance, the desire to live publicly online, and how I'm trying to reconcile all of these contradicting realities

This is what the storm did today… Rain poured through open windows and flooded our home. My little girl stood shivering, crying.
We have no doors or windows, and no way to stop the freezing wind.
My children are suffering, and I can’t protect them alone.
Please…help us stay warm.❤️‍🩹

He’s trying to help his family including his pregnant sister Rasha and his 4 year old nephew Khamis who started kindergarten yesterday!

Urgent appeal 💔
Winter is fast approaching… and donations are still low.

We need just $500 to buy clothes and blankets to keep us warm every night.

Don't leave us to face this cold alone. Every donation, no matter how small, can save an entire family from suffering

The Greek anarchist group Revolutionary Struggle was added to the FTO list in 2009 by Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Another Greek anarchist group, Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, was added in 2011, five years before Trump's first election.
Wow: the Trump administration is for the first time ever designating four "Antifa" groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

This is a big step. Until now, they had only pursued a domestic terrorist org designation, which has less teeth than FTO.

As an anarchocommunist, my "most woke opinions" are kinda just a given because otherwise I'd have completely different values

We appeal to you to donate & support us so we can buy a chicken, which costs $40.
