Finished the essay "Radical Queers and Class Struggle: A Match to Be Made" by Gayge Operaista

Just read the essay about harm reduction as pleasure activism. Really made me think of the importance pleasure plays in liberation, and also the importance of meeting people where they are, rather than where they "should be".

Bread book

Took a break from Mutual Aid, to read a shorter pamphlet on Anarchist Unionism.

"Anarchist Unionism: A Forgotten but Glorious History" goes over how anarchism and unionism fit together, and describes the history of various anarchist unions throughout history throughout the entire globe. It also argues that today's anarchists focus too little on unions, and unions are too far removed from anarchism, but also argues that the current socio-political landscape is ripe for a revolution of anarchist unions to flourish again.

Book by the Danish research collective Redox, which covers the history of the danish facist right wing, and how they have gone from having to hide to now being comfortable being out and loud in public.

Another cute children's book by Golbarg Bashi about Palestine, this time teaching kids the alphabet.

Particularly enjoyed one of the reviews on the back of the book by Fox News: "This book should be outright banned from American bookstores." I assume the page contributing to their review was the page for I: "I is for Intifada. Intifada is Arabic for rising up for what is right, whether you are a kid or a grownup!"

Adorable little book teaching kids to count up, while also showing an example of resistance to the destruction of an olive tree.

We Move Together shows how all of us are different and unique, and move in different ways, but we still move together.

In some cases when obstacles prevent some of us fron moving with the rest, we can and should find solutions on how to overcome those obstacles.
