From ANews Podcast
Welcome to this week’s podcast. This podcast is on anarchist activity, ideas, and comments from the previous week on anarchistnews.org.
Whether you reside in a busting city full of anarchists, a sleepy town well-known for its Veteran’s Day parade, or somewhere in between, your location often influences the type of anarchy you create with others or alone.
Macjak was a small anarcha-queer squat in ljubjana, slovenia. Sadly it is history now. During the last days of august we spoke with two of the squatters about macjak and the future plans of squatting in ljubljana.

Solidarity is attack
It is not the fruit of a profound analysis that by striking with forcefulness and frequency, it is possible to bend the hand of Power. This has been demonstrated in multiple experiences of struggle in different territories and at different times.

Toby Shone is an anarchist who was imprisoned in Wandsworth, Bristol and G4S Prison Parc for nearly two years accused of being the administrator of counter-information project 325.nostate.net. After the political prosecution failed and the cops had to drop the case 5 days before trial in October 2021, Toby received a sentence of 3 years 9 months for possession of psychedelic medicines. He was released on 28 December 2022 under heavy restrictions (license conditions), oversight by a multi-agency team (MAPPA) including the National Security Division (counter-terror) and forced to live in a filthy bail hostel in Gloucester for 9 months. He had just moved back into a flat in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire 9 days ago.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve done one of these and it feels like it is due! We’ve had a very good run with collaborators since we put that final call for support. Many of the frontlines are being covered, and prisoner support is running very smoothly!
a (love) letter to the tendency that lit the fire at the Bash Back warehouse rave, (aka the queer tendency toward immolation and self-annihilation). If you think that this address does not include you for whatever reason, i encourage you to pretend it does for emotional effect. Find the tendency that lit the fire at the Bash Back warehouse rave inside yourself.)

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.
