This came up on antisocial media recently. This is clearly what people who don’t have to deal with intergenerational and complex trauma believe about those of us who do. At least we should probably be grateful to ability supremacists to be honest enough to put their bile and garbage out in the open where those…

You know that old riddle about the chicken and the egg and which came first? I had an idea about how to answer that, which is neither and both since they’re the same thing. You might as well ask which came first, the human or the baby. The problem isn’t that the answer is unknowable,…

This week celebrates the 80th anniversary of the birth of the Spanish Civil War and Revolution, the momentous end to some six to seven decades of radical worker organizing, equal parts vibrant and brutally violent and inspired by the emissary of Mikhail Bakunin, Giuseppi Fanelli, in his visit to the country in 1868.
