Gentle reminder to look for mutual aid opportunities in your area, such as free stores and food shares, that are assisting people affected by the #shutdown and offer to help if you can

I always get asked why I promote youth rights and alt-education systems. Always have even when I (thought I) was right-libertarian.

Societal change starts with the youth. Even many here probably aren't "woke" enough, haven't internalized critical concepts that go against our authoritarian upbringing. You want to see a more free, democratic and libertarian world? Start by challenging authoritarian attitudes we communicate to kids in the home, the school, and in how we make community decisions

'While it is impossible to imagine surveillance capitalism without the digital, it is easy to imagine the digital without surveillance capitalism. The point cannot be emphasised enough: surveillance capitalism is not technology. Digital technologies can take many forms and have many effects, depending upon the social and economic logics that bring them to life. Surveillance capitalism relies on algorithms and sensors, machine intelligence and platforms, but it is not the same as any of those.'

Did zines and articles make most anarchists into anarchists?

Or did experiences with capitalism & the state + experiences with self-organisation make anarchists into anarchists, while zines and articles provided the step of helping them find a word and theory for what they already were?

At least one in 10 Americans have been told they’re allergic to penicillin –– but the vast majority of them can tolerate the antibiotic just fine, research finds. And that matters for their care. @WBUR
