Mutual Aid by Dean Spade is free on Libro for the next week (until 2/2). 

We know that books can't fix everything, but they can help us show up for and strengthen our communities. Our employee book club read this last year, leading to a great discussion. We hope that it helps others do the same 💗 ⏬

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

If you (most of you are) are someone who likes to think about the world and reality and perception (sprinkled with a little fantasy) …. I URGE you to read piranesi. I read this book 2 years ago, I literally still think about it all the time.
It’s a masterpiece

For months, @wired.com has been working on something about this moment's big fights: pushback against immigration raids, Tesla Takedown, LGBTQ+ rights. When we started, we didn't expect to publish following some of the biggest protests of Trump’s second term.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

After Patron blocked my latest review, I tried to write about censorship. Then I tried to write about aesthetics and the sexual politics of fiction.

What I ended up capturing was the violent silence of the moment - the grief and helpless fury of living in a world that marches on toward genocide ⬇️
