I like writing with other people. I like writing about everything.

Doing research with someone on anarchist questions as relevant to my context, writing together, and printing something, is one of my favourite kinds of projects, and like my anarchism, I make it with others, so there's not much I want to write until I know who I'm writing it with and what we're trying to build.

If I had more ideas for essays I'd just write them. I don't really have any tho because so much there is to say about anarchy has already been covered endlessly by other anarchists.

I would love to write and research about what we can do now to create an alternative to industrial society, as that, I feel, is the most important starting point in creating a anarchy and its recognition— to end people’s reliance on such a society.

In environmental contexts, I wish people would stop believing in “alternatives”, as the singular is much more holistic and reasonable: The Alternative. As it is, “alternatives” create the illusion that industrial society is good, correct, and inevitable, suggesting that every tiny thing must be replaced with something exactly like it but more greenwashed and that the society as a whole is perfectly fine, that it must only be tweaked, edging around The Authority.

I apologise for the short rant; hopefully, it helps more than it bores people to death.

What are essays but long rants? What you wrote is interesting and would like to read more about it.

I don't wish for time to write. I do enjoy reading a lot of what you all and others write, but I just want to act, I wanna do shit.

I want to write/read about (have started but haven't had time to finish) about putting Mao and Fanon together in radical spaces without interrogating how they are saying things that are pretty difficult to reconcile. I want to write/read about colonial linguistics, standard languages, time, anarchist sci-fi

You don't understand nihilism at all. Can I recommend Blessed is the Flame?

Because nihilism is defeatist, acting like a virus to sedate everyone touched by it so they stop caring about revolution and just accept the status quo.

I think it's funny that you keep bringing this up but no nihilist thought I've come across much less any of those who ascribe to it act or prescribe to act that way. In fact I'd argue of the activists I know, the ones who are most effective do so in a nihilist or near nihilist bent. Which is really just a reflection of your own ignorance on the matter and the histories tied to it.

How can you negate the status quo when you refuse to act?
