~~~~~~~~~~~~~ notes from the distroist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this zine is a collection of reportbacks and communiques from anarchafeminists, trans/queer anarchists, and insurrectional militants, roughly spanning the years of 2008-2012. for a collection of communiques that’s almost two decades old now, its still incredibly relevant. my favorite communiques (although they’re all quite good) are ‘We’ll Show You Crazy Bitches” parts I & II, and "The Rejection of the Identity of Victimization Through Cracking a Nazi's Skull." they have a riot in one, beat the fuck out of a rapist in the other, and send six nazis to the hospital in the third!! its cool as hell!!!! we love autonomous community defense!!!!!!!!

"If the Nazis call us bitch ass faggots, they might not be that far off the mark. But if they conflate those slurs with weakness, the six hospital visits they faced would prove otherwise."

saw you in the garden  that one summer,  in your rumpled dresses  trampling on roses

brought you to that frozen lake where i  watched your broken soul ache where you told me  your secret griefs 

and sometimes i can’t help but wish  things hadn’t changed between us  was it pride, was it the way  i wasn’t by your side 

was it my broken promises  and miserable lies  that made you think otherwise? 

but i promise i’ll be a better man,  be a bit less of a fool, someone wise 

this time i’d like to make you mine

saw you in the desert  that next summer,  in your military blues  like a plan gone askew 

things would never be the same  and i would  never call your name 

all this was an old fantasy  it wasn’t meant to be

sometimes i can’t help but wish  things hadn’t changed between us  was it pride, was it the way  i wasn’t by your side 

was it my broken promises  and miserable lies  that made you think otherwise? 

but i promise i’ll be a better man,  be a bit less of a fool, someone wise 

this time i’d like to make you mine

never would’ve thought  we’d end up this way  from old-time lovers  to nothing but hearsay 

it’s hard, when I just  wanna hear your voice at two in the morning,  kiss you in the pouring rain  take away all your pain

sometimes i can’t help but wish  things hadn’t changed between us  was it pride, was it the way  i wasn’t by your side 

was it my broken promises  and miserable lies  that made you think otherwise? 

but i promise i’ll be a better man,  be a bit less of a fool, someone wise 

this time i promise I’ll make you mine
