How Russian Anarchists in Exile Supported Armenian Refugee Squatters
From It's Going Down
This summer brought yet another record heat wave, as climate change fueled disasters hit countries around the world, leaving human communities devastated by flooding, wildfires, and storms. While this “new normal” has brought climate change to the forefront of popular consciousness, we’ve also seen the far-Right spinning new conspiracies and the neoliberal center pushing the same tired consumerist lifestyle changes as false solutions.
From SHH! THIS IS A LIBRARY!, The Anarchist Library forums by magsalin
Anarchism in South Asia is slowly and steadily rising. There are groups and individuals in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Anarchist texts in South Asian languages have been written and translated, but there is not yet a place to compile these. Like Southeast Asia, South Asia has more languages than nation-states. Like the Southeast Asian Anarchist Library, it would make sense to make a diverse multi-lingual library rather than separate small libraries for each language which might have only very few texts each.

Blue flashing lights pass by, oblivious to our collective trespass. A hole in the fence, hotties passing through, passing into each other. A new world cums into being, a rupture on the leisure pastures of the rich. Cruising utopia, at least for a night. Queers writhing over each other, defiling one another. Sweet melodies accompany soft caresses, the sound of piss gurgling beside a couple kissing. Determined fuckers splayed out on tarps. The line between criminality and sensuality? Sorry she's not in tonight.

From ABC Brighton: Thomas Meyer-Falk has written about his first few days of freedom after serving 26 years in prison, much of the latter part under an old nazi-era preventative detention law.

My friend Ronald Creagh has just left us this Friday, September 8, 2023 in Montpellier at the age of 94, after an unusual and very full life.
A British citizen, born June 16, 1929, in Alexandria, Egypt, he spent his childhood in Port Said between a Franco-Lebanese mother, an English father (accountant) and a Sicilian grandmother. He attended the French high school and during the war, was marked by the bombings of the city.

DEMAND THE RELEASE OF OUR ANARCHIST COMRADE AFCHINE BAYMANI ON HUNGER STRIKE AND OF ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS IN IRAN
From A las barricadas, translated by Freedom News UK
After reading a few Marxist criticisms of Graeber and Wengrow’s book, I decided to take a look because if something displeases a Marxist, it will surely make me laugh. After a cursory glance, I understood the rejection.
From Debate me, bruh
A bit about DEBATE ME, BRUH:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that any organizer who dares to be public about their anarchic/queer way of being must encounter a debate bro (or ten). No matter how prefigurative or insurgent or both our lives might be, a significant portion of being an anarchist in a hierarchical social is necessarily political education–the most rudimentary kind. But what about personal property? What would communities do about murderers in an anarchist society? Who would take out the trash? We’re trying to teach people about a beautiful set of ethics, about what it means to care for one another outside of hierarchy, but instead we’re faced with the truly awkward: isn’t anarchy chaos? Isn’t human nature evil, meaning all social change is futile? Were we at January 6th? Thousands of works of anarchist theory explore (for example) the necessity of transformative justice, answering these questions in a more thoughtful way that a late-night debate in the group chat with your tech-bro friend ever could. Yet despite the theory and praxis that so many have dedicated their lives to, the queries about murder and waste management persist. And your tech-bro friend still hasn’t read Emma Goldman. And there are three other people like him in your DMs, all wondering why you’re an anarchist without actually wanting to know. One wonders if, even in an idealized anarchist society, some middle-school boy somewhere would refuse to shut up about the fascinating fact that “WHEN I HEAR ANARCHISM, I JUST THINK OF FIRE!”

Since Julian Langer and I have passionately decided to air out our dirty laundry for the world to smell, might as well give a little background.
