Subversive Intellectual Society

They didn’t even read the books they censored. Babel “has a lot about China in it”, so it was struck. Seriously. Also, they removed a guy for traveling to Tibet, but he never went to Tibet—he went to Nepal and Vietnam. (There were other, also stupid, reasons, but I wanted to highlight the shoddy research done by the committee.)

i'm in Ireland and the search for that bastards name is still blocked and hidden... the legnths the british go to defend and protect their instruments of colonialism and violence is beyond belief. no justice for the victims and yet every measure taken to protect David James Cleary and his fellow murderers.

You have nothing to lose but your unpaid invoices!

We’re a group of freelance journalists, bloggers, and other writers in news media from all around the world, organizing to improve our working conditions and assert our rights. In the tumultuous, insecure world of contemporary news media, more and more of us are forced to work on a freelance basis. While it’s difficult to put a precise estimate on the numbers, self-employed writers make up the majority of the profession in the United States and there are legions of us around the world. Publicizing this union comes after a months-long organizing effort in which we’ve had one-on-one conversations with hundreds of freelance journalists and group meetings with dozens, discussing the struggles that members of our profession face and how we can collectively overcome them. Many of us deal with long overdue payments, low rates, vast pay disparities, exploitative contracts and frustrating invoicing systems at publications throughout the industry. While nearly every news outlet relies on freelance labor, few are committed to treating workers with dignity and providing fair compensation. In order to change these conditions, and to gain power through solidarity, we created the Freelance Journalists Union. The FJU is part of the Industrial Workers of the World, an international, member-run union for all workers, which was established in 1905. To learn more, contact us today!

back at the turn of the century there was this brief fad for techno mixes of classical music, which despite its short lifespan remains possibly my absolute favourite subgenre ever, even above ‘this angry robot wants to fuck you’. it appears the orchestral world has responded.
