Ah, yes, the Biden administration response is to ask those who killed her to investigate whether or not they did it. Surely, that will work out well and produce honest answers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

Ayensur Ezgi, may her memory be a blessing. She grew up in Seattle and graduated from UW. Not a word yet from the school, from either of Washington’s senators or any representatives. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/...

been daydreaming lately about all the disabled people in Portland getting together to form a grocery delivery cooperative 🌼
Great read on how meal delivery can be a lifesaving accessibility issue — which is why we should invest in that infrastructure so the people who facilitate make fair wages.

The Dems are actively instigating this witch hunt and as leaders of the occupation government Harris/Walz will undoubtedly continue it.
What's happening in U.S. colleges and universities is absolutely terrifying. The fact that Dems have done nothing about this is sickening. Even if Harris/Walz win, corrupt foreign governments and depraved billionaires will still have unimaginable control of our "democracy."

I was that kid who got into anarchism because I wanted to cultivate liberatory ideas and community, and I couldn’t stand the punk music and constant inside jokes from punk nerds 🫠 I ironically like punk a million times more now that I don’t ID specifically as an anarchist.
Sometimes I remember @thehardtimesnews.bsky.social article (a parody!) about the punk who "Didn’t Realize Being an Anarchist Would Require so Much Reading and Social Organizing" and I laugh. Especially after a conference where the bookstore was so big and amazing. thehardtimes.net/culture/punk...
Punk Didn’t Realize Being an Anarchist Would Require so Much Reading and Social Organizing
Wannabe anarchist Kevin Tomlin was upset to discover being an anarchist would require community involvement and not just make him an agent of chaos.

I'm shocked and deeply saddened to hear that Steve Silberman has died. He made such a difference to so many lives, and I have no doubt that his work will continue to do so even if he's no longer here to see that.
