  1. Online presentation of the zine on commemoration practices by Solidarity Collectives

    Wednesday July 15 at AGA’s Anarchist Library: collective participation in an online event organised by our comrades from Solidarity Collectives. The event starts at 17:00 and the library will be open from 16:30.

    Speakers from Solidarity Collectives will share information about the work they do and present some parts of the zine they created within the framework of the project Decolonising Cultures of Remembrance. During the presentation we will hear parts of interviews with anti-authoritarian activists in Ukraine and their reflections on trauma featured in the zine. Participants will get an overview of emerging commemoration practices in Ukraine and a better understanding of the broader historical context shaping contemporary memorial culture.

    The official presentation of the zine has already happened during educational trip to Moldova in April-May 2026.

    Background
    Solidarity Collectives emerged as an initiative in 2022 following the full scale invasion in Ukraine. Before 2022 Educat Kollektiv had already collaborated with some people and initiatives from Ukraine in the framework of the project Cultures of remembrance. We can say that our partnership has been at the roots of the project on its early stages.

    For this collaboration chapter it was important for us to create something meaningful together. Partially as a way of paying tribute to all the work that has been and is still being done by the Solidarity Collectives amid the ongoing war. The idea of the zine was born spontaneously and seemed like a fitting format to accumulate small part of the experience of our partners. It was also important for us to come up with something that we can spread and raise awareness about what is going on in Ukraine.

    At the moment the zine is available in English. You can download the English version of the text here:

  3. I've spent the last few hours discussing this point with several LLMs.

    If the AI tells are so well-known and predictable, why don't we simply reverse them?

    tl;dr? Grok suggested I go all in and pepper my output with LLM-isms just to make a point. Choke the LLM-detectors with their own poison.

  8. I got in a row the other day with a woman, who shared a post with her opinion about the toxicity of persons critical of Mary Sue characters.
    philosophics.blog/2026/03/15/e
    After much pushback, she turned off the ability to comment, so she forced my hand to respond otherwise. I resorted to my blog – and here.

  15. I've been rejected again. Should I get a PhD?

    People tend to look at peer-reviewed journals as a sign of credibility. I've not written about the nonsense of peer review, but these are unadulterated gatekeeping mechanisms antithetical to knowledge dissemination.

  20. An evening for Solidarity Collectives

    On Saturday November 29th Anarchist Group Amsterdam will host a member of Solidarity Collectives — a group of Ukrainian anarchists who support anti-authoritarians fighting at the front and help those affected by the russian invasion.

    We invite you to the screening of the documentary film “Anti-authoritarians at War”, made by our French comrades. The film is built around conversations with two fighters and one civilian (who later joined the army). Together they reflect on life, principles, politics, history, the past, and the future in the midst of war.

    The screening will be followed by a talk on internal russian propaganda. You’ll see the maddest examples of it in translation — the stuff they don’t show in Europe.

    We are also going to serve some food: Olivier salad and potato pancakes (deruny).

    Join us to support comrades in Ukraine! All funds go to Solidarity Collectives and from there — to fighting comrades or civilians living in very dangerous zones. You can choose yourself whether to support militants or civilians.

    Start at 19:00Infocafe Bollox / Anarchist Library Amsterdam @ De BinnenpretEerste Schinkelstraat 14-16 Amsterdam

  26. I’ve shut down my personal Facebook account — and with it, the Ridley Park page. Years of tolerating bot-infested “moderation” was enough. I may spin up a Ridley-only account later, but for now, the page sleeps.
