New Issue of Distinctively Dionysian — The Hum

From Distinctively Dionysian

Some frequencies never announce themselves, yet bend the air around everything they touch… currents without station, without signal, only a saturation of presence. The Hum, as it’s named in the new issue, is not metaphor, not mood, nor is it theory draped in allure. It is the low, persistent resonance that precedes language, slips beneath thought, et threads itself through lives that will not be explained.

The Anarchist Agitator Andrej Klemenčič: A Biography

From The Transmetropolitan Review

Andrej Klemenčič is an anarchist that you’ve never heard of. After he allegedly died in 1908, not a single obituary was written for him in any anarchist periodical. By the 1930s, the only traces of his existence were some old newspapers and tattered copies of The 1905 Proceedings of the Founding Convention of the Industrial Workers of the World, a verbatim transcription of the debates and resolutions that shaped the initial IWW. Among the founders listed in this text was Andrej Klemenčič, identified as the mysterious A. Klemensic.

Grow Your Own Free Skool (Guide and Zine)!

From Neighborhood Anarchist Collective

What is FreeSkool?

Rooted in anarchist theory and inspired by the Escuela Moderna (Modern School) of the 1900s, Toronto’s Anarchist Free University (AFU), and Free Skool Santa Cruz, free skool (or free school) is a place-based, grassroots educational project built on non-monetary exchange with the aim of creating a network of skill, information, and knowledge sharing. In practice, free skool can take many different forms, from anti-capitalist lectures and reading groups to skill shares on bike repair, mending clothing, and urban foraging. In contrast to traditional educational institutes, free skool is built on the belief that everyone is a teacher and everyone is a student.

Oregon: Arson against drone manufacturer, Boeing subsidiary

From Puget Sound Anarchists

In the early morning hours of July 23rd, an Insitu van was set ablaze while it sat in an empty lot across from their office in Hood River, OR. This fire was set, because the growth of the national security state poses an existential threat to all those who dream of free world. We act in total antagonism against those who enable and profit from militarism, policing and surveillance.

War and anarchists

From azarov.net by Vyacheslav Azarov from Union of Anarchists of Ukraine

For the second day in a row, the media is full of reports about the death of Ukrainian artist David Chichkan on the front lines. Adhering to the rule of “speak well of the dead or not at all,” I will say that may he rest in peace; he defended his country until his last breath. But, excuse me, anarchism has nothing to do with it, although most of these reports emphasize his anarchist beliefs. And I will not lie, his 2023 mural in Zaporizhia depicting Makhno under the state flag frankly outraged me.

20 years from now, Los Angeles struggles in ‘It’s Not the End of the World’

From The Orange County Register by Michael Schaub

LA-based writer Jonathan Parks-Ramage says a sense of dread led him to write his bleakly comic novel.

Jonathan Parks-Ramage knows well that we’re living in anxious times, and that the future looks less than rosy. That’s apparent in the latest novel from the author, “It’s Not the End of the World,” out now from Bloomsbury. The book is set in a Los Angeles 20 years in the future — and things aren’t going well.

Goffredo Fofi has died

From Rivista Malamente

The infosphere of what remains of the left in Italy is exploding with obituaries, crocodiles, and memories.

We too are doing our part, but please don't lump us into the rubble of the "left that once was," a stale position that doesn't belong to us. We salute Maestro Fofi as the editorial team of a small, provincial, anti-capitalist and anarchist social critique project, which Goffredo held in high esteem.

From equals to equals. Against identitarian authoritarianism

From La Nemesi

We are some anarchist comrades who took part in the “Sabotiamo la guerra” assembly. With this writing, we want to speak out on a troubling episode that occurred at our assembly, (not the only one of this kind, but the most serious) but above all on a forma mentis and an ideology that now make such episodes systematic. If we present ourselves in such a circumscribed manner, it is because “Sabotiamo la guerra” is precisely an assembly made from time to time by those who participate in it, and we cannot speak on behalf of all its many past, present, and future participants. Having said that, let us begin to explain ourselves.
