An American Anarchist:The Life of Voltairine de Cleyre | by Paul Avrich.
Almost felt like an anarchist prayer
Also, Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith and Holofernes is at the SAM until the 26th and i love it

May you be a Judith decapitating a Holofernes,
A Joan of Arc leading a people to victory,
A Louise Michel fighting on the barricades,
A Voltairine de Cleyre singing songs of revolt,
An Emma Goldman preaching the gospel of rebellion.
i guess it is official. snow is now something that happens in seattle every year
Just a difference of opinions folks. Some people think transit should be free, some people think the government should round up, torture, and kill political opponents

yeesh this comment from a local news site about a seattle fare strike. The comment links out to a torture scene from the movie Reservoir Dogs

episode 1098: Mourning Thanksgiving.
---------------------
Yesterday I learned
- thanksgiving has been celebrated in the US since the 1600s
- the "pilgrims and indians" bits of the myth were added in the 1800s as WASP propaganda
so I guess a reminder that if you live and/or work in #seattle, to make rent payments to the Duwamish Tribe.

following up on this cafe vita thing.
Looks like cafe vita is implying people CHOOSE to be homeless so they can get sweet sweet free coffee
reminder that capitalists are not good people. even "small, local" varieties

i love that walking through seattle, slightly high, enjoying the first rain and hearing groups of people cheering/whistling at the lightning strikes
i also love that when i log into mastodon my feed is mostly #seattle people loving on the first real rain since the start of summer
I'm not good at Follow Fridays, but if you are in the Pacific Northwest you should give @Moss a follow request
They do great follow-friday threads with PNW locals to fill up your feed with (which I really enjoy, even if it is *very* weird for me to see a fedi person IRL just going about town)
video of seattle police arresting a 13 year old kid for a climate change protest
are you kidding me, someone CALLED the police on these kids
it's not like they were planting bombs on a pipeline, this was a very non-action symbolic protest and even that was too much for people in seattle

The people who move into a neighborhood and then literally literally start calling the cops on their new neighbors

"If the members of Antifa actually wanted to effect political change and counter the aims of the Proud Boys, they could put down the milkshakes and, say, register people to vote."
"Members of Antifa beat a small, gay, Asian-American journalist in Portland this weekend. Brave! "
