  10. Dolores Huerta’s Legacy Is the Work AI Cannot Do for Us

    Dolores Huerta died at home in Bakersfield. She was 96, and her close family was with her on October 28, according to the Dolores Huerta Foundation. The public record will return now to photographs of the medal and the sound of “Sí se puede.” I keep thinking about the work beneath the slogan. Huerta registered voters. She learned the complaints, found the people willing to act, and stayed through the slow business of making a demand stick. Hope mattered to her because somebody had to […]

  15. 📣PLEASE BOOST!📣
    New goal: stay alive
    Where? TBA

    Help me stay housed: ko-fi.com/wrzky/goal

    Breakdown: $2,725
    • Yearly rent: $2,100 at this year's exchange rate (d/l: 1 Dec)
    • Maintenance fee: $250 (d/l: 1 Dec)
    • Monthly bills + groceries: $375 (d/l: 1 Dec)

    I'm too disabled for corporate employment, so I have been organising and building mutual aid infrastructure, all the while without a basic income. My writing, organising, and the infrastructure I maintain are sustained through reader and community support, which also covers my own basic needs. Right now, I'm trying to secure stable housing for another year while keeping up with everyday living expenses. I really can't cover all of this on my own.

    If you have spare funds, please support me within your capacity. If not, sharing this also helps.

    Thank you, thank you 🙂‍↕️💜

  24. It's that time of year when I am in constant dread about the possibility of being unhoused.

    My yearly apartment rent was about $2,000 at last year's exchange rate. Idk about this year. I haven't checked. I'm too scared to check.

    In the meantime, in the spirit of procrastination and delaying the inevitable: 📣UPDATE!!📣

    1. Thanks to many people who were willing to be inconvenienced by yours truly, I met my October goal almost twice over. Last month's goal was $280, and I ended up with $463, Alhamdulillah. My sleep-deprived brain was too slow to register what was going on.
    May you and your loved ones always be protected from any harm, including becoming liberals, nationalists, colonial/imperial apologists, and trusting men more than women in our lifetimes 💜

    2. After the VPS goal was met, I decided to allocate some of the extra funds towards my November monthly bills and grocery needs for the next two weeks, and the rest towards several mutual aid appeals that were stuck throughout October. It really wasn't much after I paid my bills, and I won't bother pretending I'm mentally stable enough to cosplay as a charity foundation posting financial reports showing how much goes where (to whom), as if the money has strings attached. Y'all support me and I support others. That is all.

    3. mutualaidspace.org and wrzky.com are officially hosted on a VPS 😻 It was a long and arduous process, with my dumbass only crying once. PLS CLAP 👏🏻😻😭👏🏻

    4. I found out that my father, the bullies from my previous workplace, my ex-fiancé, and the president of the Republic of Indonesia were all still alive and breathing normally, which is truly unfortunate.

    I'll be back to my regular bullshit and ruining people's day soon.

    You're all welcome to sponsor me or help me run mutualaidspace.org while I'm still stuck between running a platform and surviving my ordinary disabled cryptid life in the Global South, without enough capacity to even exhaust all avenues for officially registering mutualaidspace.org as a non-profit.

    Mutual aid saves lives, btw.

  25. Men for the most part are so light of beliefe, so hasty of judgement, that they will condemne ere they examine.

    -- bell hooks (Interview in Ms. Magazine, 1996)

  29. Schrödinger’s Wife (and other possibilities), by Pippa Goldschmidt

    I loved these short stories. I haven’t had a lot of luck with GoldSF Books so far (I have Parch Marks lined up, I didn’t like Alston Moor so didn’t review it) but this is a treasure. The author is an astrophysicist (once an astrophysicist, always an astrophysicist, I say) turned professional author. She writes fiction so close to our reality that you’d think it was memoir, until she turns a corner and then it’s about alienation, effacement, disappearing women and scientists behaving […]

  34. Men have made a little pile of shit, and called it a world.

    -- Oprah Winfrey (Public speech, 2015)
