Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness

Update: goddamnit

Will our viewing of THIS movie musical adaptation reset us to a better timeline, undoing the damage we did by seeing Cats(2019)?

Only one way to find out.

Wicked — Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness Continuing our ongoing series of podcasts run by theater dorks Miriam, Inmn and Rosza are gabbing about Wicked. Some sort of prequel to the wizard of Oz venerating the noble witch. Inmn Neruin. You c...

I know what you're thinking.

Will I get to hear Inmn, Rosza, and Miriam talk about Wicked 2: the Wickening on the Spectacle?

Don't worry, we're seeing it tonight!

Here's the last one we did to tide you over.

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, Miriam talks to Gabe & Kato from the Astoria Food Pantry, a radical space that has food, books, & RPGs, about how the project works, how giving away shit for free is so fucking cool, how awesome mutual aid distros are, & how we could sure use more of them.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

A great example of why you should never write off Staten Island: ICE agents’ tires were slashed while staging to disappear New Yorkers.

The agent in the video isn’t fully visible but looks like Brendan Cuni. If so and this is his vehicle, he swapped license plates to avoid detection.

I know that there’s been a lot going on but if they can get away with this, that really is it. Countries don’t come back from their leaders bragging about murders they ordered without consequence

They watched two men struggle to survive for 41 minutes before ordering the second strike. I don’t even have words…

Des was arrested and accused of moving anarchist zines from one place to another and needs our help.

The “Free Des” GoFundMe is now up and running! Des is a tattoo artist, PoC immigrant, vegan, sweetheart of a person (& so much more) facing decades behind bars & deportation for the allegedly “transporting” a box of “antifa materials”—aka commonly available anarchist zines.

DONATE!! 🖤🩷🐈‍⬛🦝🌿🦋🩷🖤

As makers of anarchist zines, we are asking you to help this person who was arrested and is facing deportation for allegedly having anarchist zines.

You absolutely fucking love to see it.

It’s incredible how much integrity and solidarity Greta has shown. In a world full of spineless quislings and grifters, she’s really a hero.

I think singlehanded is exactly how people are supporting the porn industry.

Antifascism is very sexy.

you fight transmisogyny by *fighting transmisogyny*, not by playing games with cis people’s colouring-book comprehension of sex and gender

Let people do what they want! Thought you were a rugged individualist. Why are you so worried about your bro's dick?

Not that all monks didn't fuck, and not that something requires grounding in tradition to be acceptable, but it's interesting to note just how much Traditional Western Masculinity was invented in the 1950s at the absolute earliest.

Somehow all the "traditional masculinity" people get furious about men who don't want to have sex, despite there being a pretty strong tradition within European Christian masculinity of men who say "actually instead of sex I'm going to get really into books and gardening."

I believe the inhabitants of the internet are responsible enough to know what to do with this.

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

New It Could Happen Here

Of course! My bad.

“This illegal raid on our humanitarian aid station perpetuates a cycle of violence by not allowing those making a very deadly crossing to receive appropriate medical care, rest, food, and water,” said No More Deaths aid worker Ary Tischler.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

“In the early days it was a lonely battle. Studio heads whom Taylor had made lots of money for hung up on her … Some of her friends and advisers told her to stay away from HIV and AIDS because it could end her career.” www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...
