Margaret Killjoy

I must not discourse. Discourse is the mind-killer. Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the discourse. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

This week we’re excited to be joined by host of “Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff” @margaret.bsky.social to continue our coverage of ANDOR Episode 11, wherein Mon Mothma deals with the difficulties of motherhood while Syril deals with difficulties with his mother! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

This time on Live Like the World is Dying we have a rerun of a classic episode, which feels more relevant than usual. Struggle is a struggle. live-like-the-world-is-dying.pinecast.co/episode/472f...

i can neither confirm nor deny

this week's post is about preparing for the contested election and potential civil conflict margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/preparing-...

again: if you watch the new harry potter, I will think less of you. Not telling you that you can't, just telling you that I will think less of you.

My partner and I are trying to restart our habit of reading to each other. They're reading @margaret.bsky.social's The Sapling Cage and I think when it's my turn I want to reread @catvalente.bsky.social's Deathless.

Hey, guess what? I’m keynoting BSides Twin Cities on October 23! My talk is called “We Keep Us Safe” and connects local community defense and protecting our neighbors to cybersecurity and fighting for the users. Local community conferences like this are so important. Come show up and support!

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

seriously this is the prettiest thing I've put out and it's coming out on halloween.

Seen in a local bookshop that just opened @margaret.bsky.social 🥰

this week's post is about voting and how it relates to building power and demanding reforms margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/voting-beg...

this is one of the best episodes of book club and if you only occasionally listen, go listen

We don't usually do breaking news style updates, but we wanted to get this one out ASAP.

On this special edition of LLWD we have a report back and timeline from Camp O:shad in Lochiel, Arizona where land defenders have been blocking border wall construction with tree sits and lockdowns along with creative theater and ceremony. live-like-the-world-is-dying.pinecast.co/episode/bab4...

I wrote about Baltimore's co-op infrastructure a couple of weeks ago... here's a much more in-depth look at what is quietly one of the most revolutionary things happening in the US.

since i have been on Behind the Bastards I have decided that if it wins, that means I have a golden globe too. mostly i just want joe rogan to lose though.

Behind the Bastards is apparently eligible for a Golden Globe this year I can't imagine we'll win, given the number of podcasts by famous Hollywood people on the list. But it's nice to be considered eligible! goldenglobes.com/articles/bes...

Happening now! Border Patrol amassing forces after land defenders re-established a tree sit on the Mexican side of the border in La Noria, Sonora, this morning, stopping wall construction the day after DHS killed the Grandmother Tree.

Really enjoyed @margaret.bsky.social latest episode about autistici/ inventati. she's just a few years older than I am and really helps me connect the early 00s movements with where we are today. For context I was 16 on 9/11 and have been yelling the GWB was fascist since I was 15.

you can hear me talking about the matrix

Films That Broke Men's Brains: The Matrix I had a really great time chatting with @margaret.bsky.social & @tylerblack.bsky.social about how the themes of transition were coopted by the manosphere and how badly this movie was misinterpreted by chuds like Elon Musk. links: tinyurl.com/yf6r4t59

"Those who build walls are their own prisoners." --Ursula le Guin

🚨 All eyes on the border wall blockade at Camp O:ṣhad in Lochiel, Ariz. This morning, over 50 Border Patrol / BORTAC agents raided the resistance camp, entering private property without a warrant, attacking land defenders & deploying a cherry-picker to extract the tree sitter.

Border patrol agents have entered private property in Lochiel Az, without showing a warrant I’m told, to remove people who have been camping there. They’re also setting up an exclusion zone around the tree that’s being defended.

Women couldn't be outlawed in 13th-century England because they were never put in law. Instead, women accused of crimes were ordered to be waived if they failed to appear at trial. The consequence of waivery was the same as outlawry's: execution (often immediately and without trial). 🧵1/4

In this essay, @margaret.bsky.social almost perfectly describes my worries and fears about climate change and gives us pragmatic advice on how to move forward. You should read it, or find it podcast form. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/beyond-cli...

I'll be speaking in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday Oct 1 with Madeline ffitch at Loganberry Books at 7pm. If you like smalltown antifascists fighting the good fight while all being a bunch of fuckups, you'll love her new book Avalon, Rise. www.loganberrybooks.com/madeline-ffi...

Continuing our quest to promote book events without the computer, this month with a beautiful bonus essay about Baltimore on the flipside from @margaret.bsky.social
