C. B. Daring, J. Rogue, Deric Shannon, Abbey Volcano: Queering Anarchism (Paperback, 2012, AK Press) No rating

What does it mean to “queer” the world around us? How does the radical refusal …

When it is operating at its best, anarchism is tearing fown the borders of nation states, smashing the borders of capitalist control, and transgressing all borders of oppression and authoritarianism. When queer(ness) is operating at its best it is tearing down the borders of gender, smashing the confines of compulsory monogamy, and transgressing the moralism of sex anf sexuality. When abolition is at its best it is tearing down the prison walls, smashing the police state, and transgressing the power of punishment while instituting new forms of transformative justice. I recognize that all of this destruction and abolition can appear to be placed strictly in the negative and oppositional—without a positive vision for society. However, all of this border destruction and wall crumbling provides a beautiful oppprtunity for creativity and new visions that are already being articulated and acted upon throughout the world.

Just read the chapter "queering heterosexuality" and think it is my favorite chapter yet!

Loved the way the author Sandra Jeppesen uses her personal experiences in a way to bring up issues and things to think about more broadly about anarchism and how it intersects with queer.

Also really liked the deliberate subversion of "correct" grammar by omitting capital letters all together!

Ursula K. Le Guin: The  Dispossessed (Hardcover, 1991, Harper Paperbacks)

Shevek, a brilliant physicist, decides to take action. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, …

The dispossessed

Listened to the '87 CBC audio drama of it and it was such a time capsule to audio productions from another era. The specific seductive feminine voice, the music, the way shevek sounds like he is the voice actor for some favourite Canadian children's cartoon.
