Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

If you preorder your own copy through my fave bookstore (they'll mail it to you) or directly from AK Press, you will get an extra letter from me tucked into your book when it arrives. That extra letter is about this moment in Chicago and what I think it means to be "effective" right now.

A surefire way to self-inflict ego death on oneself is to work in higher education. For best results:

“Only” have a Master’s Degree 👩🏻‍🏫

Interact primarily with 19-year-old students 👩🏻‍🍼

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

She speaks for me now

Community is all we have

repair your sanity and piss off the fascists with this one weird trick

Fascism 101 is forcing people who, how, and what to grieve.

I ask Steve the academic reference librarian to email the publication and work on paying per article or a print only subscription

He’s a miracle worker as far as I can tell. I’m not in the weeds on the logistics 🫣

The Detroit Lions have never made the Super Bowl

I'm sorry for your loss 34 years ago 💙

The Lions have lost 10 playoff games when they did qualify for the playoffs. This missed the playoffs entirely 25 times since 1990.

The Lions football team lost every game they played in the 2008 season and were the first franchise to do so in professional American football.

The Detroit Football Franchise won a single playoff game in 1991 and in 2024. I don't remember that football game against the Dallas Cowboys 1991.

I am a lifelong Detroit Lions fan. I was born in 1990. Nothing existed, to me, until 1990. I assume the same for everyone.

The franchise has had two playoff wins since I was born.
