So we've had a hell of a week: On top of Canada Day and 4th of July, last Thursday Minnesota regulators granted permits to the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline overhaul. Line 3 carries Canadian tar sands through Minnesota to Wisconsin plants. The overhaul takes it directly through Ojibwe land and waters, which is set to be met with massive resistance.
In response to the ruling, Tania Aubid, a member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, stood and shouted, “You have just declared war on the Ojibwe!” We stand with the Ojibwe. We stand against all pipelines and all extraction industries.
So let's help get them some funds. We're doing an anti-sale/benefit. 15% of all sales through blackandgreenreview.org will go to Line 3 resistance groups/camps. That includes shirt pre-orders and wholesale orders. Help spread the word, buy some books and swag, then get out and block some pipelines.

The unfortunate murder of "Ayahuasca shaman", Olivia Arévalo Lomas. Colonization and entitlement. The madness of the frontier and how the white murderer remains the story. The creepy world of guru tourism. The failed search for meaning as captives within civilization and how colonization powers entitlement escapism. The implications for rewilding. Bashing the feel-good eco-capitalism of Guayaki brand yerba mate. The genocide of the Aché and who is complicit. Slavery and plantations as the product of missionaries. Rewilding and resisting a system that makes white privilege possible. Battling civilization as a whole rather than falling for gurus.

Following up on the Cambridge Analytica fallout: what we already knew, hints of what's to come. High tech surveillance vs old-timey surveillance in terms of governments, corporations and others. Green Scare as an example of the old, trolls and nerds stacking the deck for the future. Our lives as data and shifting ideas about what Artificial Intelligence is (spoiler alert: domestication). Algorithms rule everything around me.

The most crucial part of creating fire by friction is to get a hot coal.
A burning ember.
The contact of two sticks creates dust to collect into a divot in the fireboard while friction creates the heat. When the compacted dust and heat get oxygen, you have your starting point. More oxygen in the form of blowing, more fuel in the form of wood or grasses and there you have it: fire.
The first time you get that flame, you realize how much work it takes to create fire. It’s as intense as the flame itself: dancing with energy, bounding on the edge of destruction as it consumes anything flammable laid before it. It’s enough to evoke wonder and awe alongside the warmth it offers.
Matches. Lighters. Combustion engine...

Got a whole lot in the works right now. Two books in the finalization process and going to be press-bound soon:
First up: Black and Green Review no 5.
We've been in the habit of growing in size and this time is no exception. A bit of a behemoth in the lurks, a year in the making. Pre-orders will start up in about a week or so. Very stoked to get this out there.
Second up: Gathered Remains. The second collection of essays from Kevin Tucker.
It's a big one and a pure honor to feature art from Mazatl. Pre-orders coming soon.
Since we've got a lot going to the printer very soon (and much, much more in 2018), we're doing a sale on all current and in-stock Black & Green titles and merch, including the three new shirts posted above. For 15% off orders over $25, use coupon code: PRINTINGBILLS

We've currently got a fundraiser going to expand Black & Green. Give it a new site to organize better and become our own platform for sharing info, projects and campaigns without feeling like a part of the ever-flowing, non-engaging content stream that social media is. We've got a lot of new titles that are or are going to be press-bound, so the more we raise up, the faster we can get all of that to you.
Any and all support is greatly appreciated.
To donate or share our fundraising campaign, here is the link: https://igg.me/at/At60YqxtB2I
