Thanks to your support, we've reprinted the Contradictionary, our Bestiary of Words in Revolt!
They're now back in stock. You can order them here:

"A glossary of capitalist cant and anarchist argot—a field operations manual for the war in every word.
"In the tradition of The Devil’s Dictionary, our Contradictionary assembles a wide range of wit and whimsy. This is no mere miscellany, but a lighthearted work of serious literature, concentrating a wealth of ideas and history into aphorisms and anecdotes."

What a breath of fresh air to hear directly from #FrancescaAlbanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, now banned from the US for doing her job.
To hear someone who simply speaks the truth, with courage, decisiveness and the smile of integrity in her eyes.
Makes me realise how rarely that makes it to any mass broadcast:
The fabulous grassroots organisation #BeyondGM have been documenting the UK government's quietly-introduced new laws.
The 2025 Genetic Technology Regulations exempt some (poorly-defined) GMOs from food and safety requirements AND FROM ANY LABELLING, so we can no longer choose not to eat them.
The final chance to stop this before *it comes into force this November* is a judicial review, for which #BeyondGM are crowdfunding.
I just gave £100. Full info:

A conscient roundtable about the Surviving the Future 2025 course led by @DarkOptimism Shaun Chamberlin.
I asked five of my fellow learners to share some of their most impact stories and how they plan to apply this knowledge.
Cultivating #gratitude is preferable to some unexamined sense of entitlement.
It has its dangers though. Cultivating gratitude for an abusive relationship, for example, may not be the way to go.
That's why I reflect daily both on what I am grateful for AND on where I need to cultivate #unacceptance.
