overview for HumanAnarchist

I've gone through a very similar story. I've realized that anarchists and tankies are not enemies are really want the same end goals. I'm still an anarchist because I truly do believe that hierarchy is fully avoidable BS but hexbear has worked it's magic on me. I now call myself an anarcho-tankie.

Hexbear introducing me to the concept of critical support was what fully awakened me to the idea that tankies and communists and everyone else aren't the bad guys. Anyone who opposes the US Empire deserves my support, because the US empire is responsible for the most oppression worldwide.

Side note: I find that the stereotype that many online anarchist spaces are largely ignorant, white, suburban teenagers to be largely true. (Source: I was one) However, I don't find this to be a reason to shed the anarchist label because of people like andrewism.

~hope any of this made sense, was just a little brain dump~

(Fully serious) This is honestly an amazing photograph. I don't know why but this shot seems to encapsulate everything I feel about this election: life goes on, so much is happening, but for some reason it's all overshadowed by these two frowning men. Feel free to dunk on me, but this lowkey kind of brought a tear to my eye.

Libs have totally stopped taking about her after what they thought was her 15 minutes, instead she is out there almost every day it seems protesting against the climate and Israel. She has grown increasingly anti capitalist and its all just very cool to watch as she’s someone I looked up to a lot when I was a younger lib.

I’m not sure if any of you knew him but he was a TikToker who made day in the life videos in Gaza. He was so full of hopes and dreams and simply just a bright soul. I am so heartbroken. Fuck Israel and everything it stands for. Rest in power Medo.

Maybe this is just zoomer talk but not until recently did I realize how many cool independent mags are out there, largely unknown. There are so many amazing stories and raw expressions of culture in such an amazing and niche medium.

I never really grew up with magazines and am now realizing I love the whole experience. Checking almost daily for the next issue when it’s almost that time, the excitement of opening the packaging and seeing what the subject of the issue is, the tactility of holding an actual “thing”, soaking in the pictures and enjoying the design, etc. Good magazines are a relief from social media and the internet. A chance to slow down and experience stories at a different pace in a different medium. You get more than a book but less than a computer.

It’s taking a lot of restraint not to subscribe to every magazine mentioned on stack magazines’ (a subscription service which sends you a different Indy Mag each month and who’s blog is the best place for discovering Independent magazines that I’ve found). I currently have a subscription to Fare and Delayed Gratification.

I cannot recommend Fare enough if you have the money to purchase a subscription. Twice yearly they create a travel guide for a city through the lenses of food and restaurants. The photography and writing really brings you to the place, whether it’s Naples (current issue), Mexico City, or Charleston, SC.

Delayed Gratification is a slow journalism magazine from the UK which brands itself as “the last to break the news.” The infographics and in depth reporting are nice although it’s only slightly left of the mainstream news. I’ll probably cancel my subscription and replace it with Lost or Safar. Nothing against the creators of the mag but I think i need less news in my life not more.

Public land. There is so much of it in yankieland and it really is so amazing. However, Native Americans should be in control of all public land as a part of landback.
