Transition is a practice of self-abolition, and it demonstrates that abolition involves both destroying/ending and building/creating in a way that threatens all ideologies of natural right, of hierarchy and power with a simple gesture of desire and self-knowledge

Please I am begging everyone to stop saying that Pritzker hasn't thrown trans people under the bus when he refuses to enforce his state's own anti-discrimination laws to force hospitals in Illinois that have stopped providing gender affirming care to minors to do it

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

The first rule of Taylorism: "The managers assume the burden of gathering together all of the traditional knowledge which in the past has been possessed by the workmen".
AI is an attempt to similarly collect knowledge, but within an algorithm.

We should think of the "intelligence" in artificial intelligence not as any kind of mental property, but as the kind one gathers - the stuff of central intelligence agencies. Then we can immediately understand that AI is a technological form of Taylorism, a way for capital to accumulate power.

ironically, states' weaponization of "sex =/= gender" to double down on "biological sex" as the gendering of the body has reconfigured "transsexuality" in the trans commons lately as a more rebellious conception (declaring that sex itself is social, malleable) rather than a passive clinical term

this is to say that also in communist traditions the horizon of women’s freedom is dogged by a silly attachment to the cisness of the bourgeoisie, the mode of expression of which is an allergy to girl stuff,

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights.

they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

Well the news is bad again

We’re in scary times, but remember that the trans people immediately at most risk from the executive orders are those who were already being persecuted under Biden—prisoners, immigrants, full service sex workers etc. It’s okay to be afraid but keep your head in the game.

Murray Bookchin: "[Anarchism's] central focus has always been the only meaningful goal social revolution can have—the remaking of the world so that human beings will be ends in themselves and human life a revered, indeed a marvelous, experience."
