if you're not balls deep, are you even in?

We've prepared a zine version of "Gays, Crazies, and Motherfuckers: Anarchists in the Stonewall Uprising," exploring why the rebellion had such an impact and what it can teach rebels today.

At 16,000 words of meticulously researched history, it's not short. You'll want to read it in print!

You can order it here:

it introduces you to kim who is this ideal of the Brother in Arms - you meet him and you know. he'd lay it all down for you.

you then proceed to realize this is a kim thing, not a cop thing, despite the skill that informs you about it being The Cop Camaraderie skill

the rest of the cops are not just unhelpful, they're cruel. they're a boys' club of toxic masculinity, homophobia and joking about how they abuse their power, like when jean stole mustard from a homeless man. if harry begs them for help, the greatest kindness the operator can do for him is pretend he didn't hear and cut the connection to save harry's pride. the more you put into this skill, the more the rancid underbelly of policing and policemen as individuals in this system comes to light.

and that's before we get into the plot-relevant stuff, how martinaise was abandoned by jean and co because jean was too damn busy trying to make a point to harry than do his fucking job.

then there's the bond between the paramilitary squad. unlike the cops, they're tight, a family to each other, and it makes them completely immune to reason the moment the Head of their hierarchy gets murdered. and this head of theirs, the most rational, most charismatic of them all, their leader, still was a monster who, for His Men and their Morale, saw kidnapping some poor girl and offering her like a human sacrifice to the pit of animals that was his squadron as a Rational course of action.

maybe there's love there, in a way, but it's the kind of love that wholly depends on seeing your circle as the only people deserving of life, and the rest of the world as insects.

and i think abt how so many other stories that try to be cop or military critical still fall into that trap of believing that the people in these environs are a Family doing their Best, that they got each others back and thats all that they need to get through this!(whatever plot event is happening)

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.

I hope you'll help me get to safety, but I don't deserve a little donation that we feel tucked in like you guys guys' feelings Please donate and don't ignore me. Now I want to live even for a restful day

Hey I have been away from being online for some time to deal with trauma from recent violence, and now I have 30 days to move out of my childhood home as the landlord will be selling it very soon.

I have been unable to work for sometime and my partner is fresh in a new position. We do not yet have the funds to make first and last months rent upfront. We really need support to not end up homeless during the peak of summer with our dog.

The average rent in our area is around $1,900, so for first and lasts month it is around $3,800 upfront. My partner and I are greatful for any and all support, thank you.
