From It's Going Down
Announcing the the first annual Kitsap Anarchist Bookfair in so-called Bremerton, WA.
Join us on May 4th for the first ever Annual Kitsap Anarchist Bookfair! Anarchists have been active in Kitsap County for over a hundred years, recently there’s been an uptick in anarchist projects in the area, and since annual springtime traditions are generally on the wain, it seems like a great time to inaugurate this thing. Bookfairs have conventionally been a unique space for committed anarchists, the anarcho-curious, and sympathizers from a variety of backgrounds to come together to discuss and encounter anarchist ideas and practices.
Tabling, performances, and talks will be split between a few of the venues along Callow Ave in so-called Bremerton, Washington, on occupied Suquamish, Twana, and S’Klallam territory. Callow has historically been an area where vice has been sequestered, but in the more recent couple of decades the torch of anarchy has been kept alive in the punk scene surrounding the Charleston on Callow Ave. The Charleston will incidentally be hosting the punk show after party.
With atomization ever-deepening under capitalism and with numerous unfolding crisis it seems important to make intentional space for us to link up and critically engage in the areas we share affinity for. Capitalism, racism, and ecocide still persist, and state repression of those who would dare challenge this ruling order continues, so let’s make the effort to find each other and expand our anarchic capacities. We encourage those who live in Kitsap to come out and beat that stultification to meet up with rad people and projects in our area. We encourage those outside of Kitsap to transgress borders and come see what’s up, we have a lot in store so it’ll be worth the trip.
Tablers include: 1312 Press, Bellingham Alt Library, Bigfoots House Of Vinyl, Black Flag Library, Black Flower Collective, Bum Lung, Certain Days, Civ Fucks Distro, CrimethInc., Contagion Press, Counterflow Distro, Detritus Books, Emergent Goods, Entangled Roots Press, Free Lunch Collective, Fugitive Distro, Historical Seditions, Kitsap Food Not Bombs, Kitsap IWW, Left Bank Books, N.O. Bonzo, Philomena the Plant, Pipsqueak, PM Press, Puget Sound Prisoner Support, Rebel Cat Distro, Rowan Grove Distro, Roxy Fae, Shin Deathcap ft. Bitter Bitch, Sugar Bombing World, That Local Deaf Zinester, Ungrateful Hyenas, and more! Other events include a drag show, a showing of Kitsap Ferry Riot, a showing of Videos from the Trash Dimension, a medic workshop, mutual aid workshop, and more!
Also featuring book talks from Josh Davidson on Rattling The Cages, Rimona Eskayo, I’m Having Top Surgery: An Illustrated Guide for Me and You, and special video appearance of former political prisoner Eric King!

MASKING STATEMENT: We’re asking participants to mask up for the bookfair both as a means of making the event more accessible by preventing the spread of RSV and COVID which are still going around, but also to normalize masking for personal security. We will be providing masks and posting signage. We feel the community will respect these desires. The only caveat being the afterparty at the Charleston potentially being a difficult event to keep at optimal levels of mask use. Knowing this may make some attendees uncomfortable we encourage everyone to lead by example and use harm reduction best practices.

Ridiculously good, you mean. It's commendable anarchists stand out for being prudent, considerate, and responsible, while others may disregard the health and well-being of others. It's an act of love.
Love?

Funny how you quite literally turning a method of mass social conformity (and subjugayion) imported from China into some weird esoteric signifier, as Covid has become irrelevant?
Yes, gotta keep the comments

Yes, gotta keep the comments 3:1 ratio in your favor as the comment section is your personal echo chamber. At least you figured out how to thread your reply. Do they pay you to astroturf this site or are you such a sad rightist that you do it for free and your have nothing better to do?

In reply to where do you live that it was by anon (not verified)
Well the fact it's the first interpretation you got prolly reflects how that's actually your own mindset?
I didn't avoid wearing a mask due to the statistics on people wearing them and the likelihood this might endanger the Community, you chump. I didn't wear them (except when I was really constrained to by bureaucracies, like on fucking planes) as "science" sez I'm supposed to breathe CLEAN & FRESH AIR... not my own carbon monoxide along with microplastic residues, hours a day.
So if you like breathing your own pulmonary shit, that's your stuff... But don't come in later on whining about how some MAGA chud on Anews gave you Covid 24, where you got way more chances to get a respiratory illness from breathing in too much carbon monoxide, too often.
Oh nOooo I don't want to

People breath out carbon

People breath out carbon dioxide, not monoxide... if this is bait good job
A slight mistaking between CO

In reply to People breath out carbon by anon (not verified)
A slight mistaking between CO and CO2, yes, but CO2 does equally cause hypercapnia (or "CO2 narcosis") and respiratory acidosis.
Let's see what Comrade Bill Nye sez of that source! https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/does-w…

How are you SO dumb AND also SO BORING while being SO SCARED of masked anarchists having events when you don't even go to any events???? DON'T BE SO CHICKEN SHIT, BROW. The masked anarchists at their event can't hurt you if you never show up, brow!
You should probably see a doctor or get some ivermectin after all that carbon monoxide inhalation and microplastics exposure. Better safe than sorry!

Different anon here. I don't think anyone takes an issue with you (or whoever) for wearing a mask. You can wear whatever you want. No problem with that.
But would you be OK if I was existing around you at an event... NOT wearing a mask. Would that be an issue with you?
Im'a keep it 100% with you. I absolutely do not think covid is a big deal.. I literally stopped giving a fuck after like 2-3 months back in 2020.. But if you wanna live in this world in your head where covid.. "IS SUPER DUPER SERIAL YOU GUYS!" lol ok, fine, that's ok. You do you.
But can we still find a way to get along at events without one side being coerced or harassed by the other?
masking... and masking

Just to clarify as I'm not an absolute anti-masker. If I'd attend an open and announced upcoming anarchist events in the US, given the FBI surveillance I'd very likely be masking at least for a while. But Covid masks... that's dumb, and potentially harmful to your own health if worn for too long/too often. Tho feel free to suffer and risk your health for the Community god!
lifeless prudes, you mean.

"enforcing"
This snowflake antimasker is SO threatened by masks he made an entire strawman! Nobody said they were "enforcing" anything, you fragile baby. The real sadness would set in if we masked anarchists removed our masks and you saw how incredibly beautiful our visages are and realize your ugliness would require a full face covering. Be glad we are modest and hide our beauty as to reduce your VERY REAL ugliness anxiety. Not that you'd ever actually attend an anarchist gathering let alone leave the safe space that is your mask-free basement.
whoa there!

- RSV is just a recent passepartout construct by civil bureaucracies (that you appear to be holding as unquestionable expertise) and their constant needs to gobble together unrelated diseases in order to beef up stats for state/corporate funding.
- Covid 19 is irrelevant in 2024. One's more likely to fall badly ill from monkey pox, encephalitis, polio and malaria... as there are much higher morbidity rates.
- Your ideologically-induced social psychosis is threatening a substantial and consistent development of anarchist milieus, while also contributing on its own by further isolating those Individuals you deem as a threat to your Community.
- You are not welcome in anarchy... Yes! Regardless your big collective numbers and corporate entities, and it's so sad the DSA's no longer a force to unite all you marxoid dolts and the more clever manipulators on a stupid platform. So maybe stick to the big unions and quit bothering anarchists with your generic political drivel?
- again, are you immortals, so to seriously consider big mass collective movements and revolutionary bullshit, in 2024? If so then why the endless Covid scare, especially for its *low mortality rate*, that's more like near zero these days?

I'm not scared you're scared. Please don't wear masks around me or sick people and don't hide your faces from law enforcements. Anarchy needs more harmful escalations against the vulnerable and ourselves I am so mad and scared!

..so then if one turns up to the event without a mask, are we still cool?

It's about being a good citizen and supportive member of the Community. It's a liability as we'll be occupying administrative positions, if not already, and gladly be sending our children to school so they can keep moving up the social ladder. Look at what such great strategy has achieved with anarchist star Elon Musk!

Only banking districts exist. Anarchists love their servitude. They typically identify themselves as being in opposition... they need this opposition otherwise they disappear up their own ass, mask an' all. JZ being right up there with them.

Thing is, the people you've been responding to aren't even "anti-mask", but more like mask-neutral. No one cares if you wanna wear a mask, the issue is with you trying to boss everyone around and tell them what to do and what to wear, etc. I prefer a space that is "mask-optional", where everyone's chill over one thats run by liberal assholes like you who use "harm reduction" as an excuse to play out your authoritarian power fantasies.
