“That old one — the working class as one dumb mass — is nothing but another bourgeois cliché. We are not simpletons, we’re just exploited.”
From a polemic by Sergio Chesán on literature and class, translated for us by Roy Duffield.

Coming up this weekend are three anarchist bookfairs we know of. The first is the Peterborough Radical Bookfair in the middle of the UK. peterboroughradicalbookfair.com
Peterborough Radical Bookfair - list of stalls, food, poetry, entertainment....
We are at Peterborough Radical Bookfair, 18th Oct. We are facing war, poverty, shit housing, environmental destruction, wage slavery, vile scapegoating of sections of our class..... But we can still turn the tables.
Nip along for a friendly chat, printed material, entertainment, nice food....

Black and white A4-shaped poster with the word MAKE in big bold letters at the top and ZINES! in big bold letters at the bottom. In between, in capital letters is the following text... NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE. NO GRANT FUNDING CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR WORDS. NO INSTITUTION CAN BAR YOU FROM ENTERING. NO KNOWLEDGE IS UNAUTHORIZED. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MAKE ZINES!
MAKE ZINES! poster by zine maker / artist Cort Hartle.

They were some game-changing commas tbf
This is probably some form of plagiarism
This happen to anyone else? When you find a story/poem you once wrote on paper, type it up, change a few commas, and on comes the rush of elation of having just created a new and genius work
URGENT: NEA GRANT TERMINATED
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Late Friday night we received a chilling email stating that our NEA grant has been terminated. Today we learned that the jobs of the Literary Arts program officers we have been working with have been eliminated.
