Gotcha! Fire to the Prisons' Future Projects
Some of our reasons for considering to end it in the first place were due to the complications of doing a printed publication in the world today. Purely from a mainstream economic standpoint, Of course a magazine like this can not look to grant writing or business loans; and no matter how liberal or libertarian, we are assuming that no wealthy reader, no matter how guilty, could Also with doing a printed magazine today, it is really hard to determine the response. Printing anything seems like nothing more than novelty at this point, which is what maybe leads us to prioritize design over grammar. But while the internet has become the medium for all human communication, putting out a magazine that intends to inspire as opposed to make a profit, is a big risk. You do not know who is reading it, you do not know who is buying it, you do not know who is throwing it away. We can only rely on random letters, conversations, and emails to grasp the response people are having from the content. This is why we always stress emailing or writing about any concerns, appreciation, or critique. For the most part those who talk trash typically only focus on our lack of grammatical ability. What can we say about this? We have mentioned many times that we are not "writers" or "educated". All in all, some of us really aren't very good at satisfying the expectations of proper english. We really just don't care. If you can understand the content or intention of the word or phrase, what is the issue? If you are simply so well educated that if something is incorrectly written or misspelled that you can not understand it, or refuse to, than don't read this magazine, and kick your own ass cause your a pretentious schmuck (correctly spelled) face. Our intention with this publication is to help connect feelings and displays of discontent, and provide a forum and space for dialogue that will help to generalize revolt against all forms of domination. But while the loudest critique seems to be the most insignificant of concerns, we wish we could hear more from those who actually have something to say regarding the content or effect of this journal. Where we are going from here: With doing a vastly printed publication, we have built large networks of distribution all over the world, and we We have decided to no longer be on a quarterly schedule. We are now planning on coming out every 6 months. We are also spending the extra time to explore new methods of printing and fund raising, to make us a more stable publication. While our schedule these last few years has forced us to dis-continue our distribution of other magazines, books, or pamphlets, we will also be re-building our distribution, and looking to publish new writing. We plan to have a fully stocked Solidarity, |

"your a pretentious
"your a pretentious schmuck"
This should be "you're a pretentious schmuck". "Your" is possessive; "you're" means "you are".

We (as in you, and I and every anarchist project) need to develop and improve fundraising models based on accumulating many small donations.
Just found this on zinelibrary: http://zinelibrary.info/files/SuggestedDonation_print.pdf
Been touring with a play based on voluntary donations, and trying to talk about voluntary donations as a radical alternative to capitalist forms. If we created an economy entirely based on voluntary donations, the meaning of currency would radically change, money would cease to exist.
Anarchist economics beat capitalism when they solves what capitalism cannot solve. Capitalism cannot solve the free rider problem. We have to.
