I guess I’ll start with my, my background and how I came to my activism. I’ve been a Palestine solidarity activist since the mid eighties, so since roughly my early twenties I was raised in a pretty typical Jewish household in the DC area. And...

"I could not even pretend to be neurotypical if I tried. So the neurodivergent community is very important to me. My fellow neurodivergents are my kin and my comrades, and we live anarchy day in and day out, even if we don't realize it. I think most of us would have a harder time trying to shove ourselves into capitalistic, neurotypical boxes than to let ourselves be free, if we all thought about...

I also think that giving people a space to exist and to be authentically themselves while they share skills and grow is integral to helping our community heal. It's incredibly difficult to transition and providing people th...

In this episode, mk and Jennie chat about age inclusion in the punk s...

"We were organizing and enacting mutual aid without having the words to call it that. Again, I credit my parents. They were hella organizers. Their tentacles reached way beyond our backwoods area. Without the internet. So I actually did know at an early age that resistance was not only possible but necessary. When the school told us asinine things like girls can't wea...
