Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Louise Michel, born on this day in 1830, was a French anarchist, feminist, educator, author, and militant leader of the Paris Commune.

Born in 1830 as an illegitimate daughter and raised by her grandparents, Louise Michel worked as a schoolteacher before revolution came to Paris, and, in 1865, opened a school dedicated to methods of progressive education.

There, Michel came into contact with radical thinkers such as Jules Vallès and Auguste Blanqui, and was concerned about the impoverishment of those on the margins of French society. In 1869, she was one of the founding members of the "Society for the Demand of Civil Rights for Women", focused on improving girls' education.

In 1870, war broke out between France and the Empire of Prussia. The war quickly ended in defeat for France, and, the following March, discontented members of the National Guard mutinied against the new national government in Paris, marking the beginning of the working class uprising known as the Paris Commune.

Michel joined the rebellion and was elected head of the Montmartre Women's Vigilance Committee, playing an important role in the provisional revolutionary administration. She had a romantic relationship with Théophile Ferré, a senior member of the Commune's Committee of Public Safety.

Michel personally fought on the front lines at the barricades, also organizing ambulance stations to transport the wounded. She expressed a willingness to sacrifice herself for the sake of revolution, stating "I like the smell of gunpowder, grapeshot flying through the air, but above all, I'm devoted to the Revolution."

Michel survived the fall of the Commune and was brought to trial in December 1871. She dared the judges to sentence her to death, saying "It seems that every heart that beats for freedom has no other right than a bit of lead, so I claim mine!"

Unlike Ferré, who was executed, she was instead punished by deportation to a penal settlement in the French colony of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean.

In New Caledonia, she became acquainted with the indigenous Kanak people, and took an interest in their culture and language, later supporting them during an 1878 revolt against French rule.

Michel also befriended Nathalie Lemel, another exiled figure from the Commune, and became an explicit anarchist under her influence. In 1880, amnesty was granted to former Communards, and Michel returned to Paris, where she was greeted as a hero by the downtrodden of the city and resumed her revolutionary activity.

Michel later moved to London for five years, where she ran a school for children of political refugees, and became a famed speaker across Europe, meeting figures such as the Pankhurst sisters, Peter Kropotkin, and Emma Goldman.

In 1904, Michel embarked on an anti-colonial speaking tour in French Algeria, before falling ill shortly after. She died in Marseille on January 9th, 1905 at the age of 74. Her funeral was attended by over 100,000 people, receiving delegations from socialist and anarchist groups all across Europe.

Today, Michel remains one of the most famous icons of the Paris Commune and is regarded as a pioneer of anarcha-feminism.

I am allowing myself the tiniest bit of hope that the n-word tape is real and becomes public.

I thought I knew better, but apparently some braincell of mine has been clinging to that thread since 2015.

do people assume im being a nasty little contrarian if i say hateful eight is one of my fave tarantino movies? it seems people almost unanimously agree its on the weaker end.

spoileri'll concede that the build up portion/first half is stronger than when it devolves into a gross bloodbath, but from the back half i still like the flashback sequence showing the set up of the bandits scheme at the general store

Could I just pay my local print shop to print out some movie posters for personal use?

I kinda want to put some up plus a few cool images I found online but I don't know if that's legal technically.

Man, I emailed my thesis adviser to basically get intel on how my job application at the company I'm at was going like a year ago. And his reply made it sound like he thought I was accusing him of giving me a bad reference. I felt bad about sounding like that and haven't communicated with him since. wtf

I sometimes wish we had a vegan megathread, because I want to make a comment that's not big enough for it's own post, but it doesn't really fit here either, because it's kind of meta, a little struggle-session adjacent.

So what I'm going to do is spoiler it and if you're a carnist, don't fucking read it. And if you can't help yourself and read it anyway, don't fucking respond to it. I will block any carnists who respond to this comment, I'm actually not trying to start a fight, I just need to vent where another vegan can see it.

Seriously, carnists, fuck offI just ran across a post in c/food that had meat. It's an 11 hour old post with no CW and it's still up. I don't blame the mods, really. Modding is hard work and of course stuff will fall through the cracks, especially when rule-breaking posts don't get reported (and I assume this post hadn't been before I reported it just now). I want hexbear to be vegan so badly. I understand why we allow carnists on here, I do get it, but I wish we could call them out more and have them shut the fuck up about stuff. But it's hard to argue the vegan position, because we're outnumbered here, and carnists are fucking fragile and tend to be argumentative asshats when called out on their meat eating. I admit to backing off fights I should have taken on because I just don't want to deal with the pushback.

And that suuuucks! This little corner of the internet is so good in so many ways. I can be unapologetically trans, no one will call me a tankie for saying China good, and bigots of most stripes get absolutely dogpiled here. I love it. But I wish asshole carnists got dogpiled in the same way. And they don't.

Anyway, that's it. Carnists just don't understand that pictures of dismembered dead animals are unpleasant to see. I truly wish we could ban all nonvegan posting from c/food. Maybe make a c/carnism or something for people who absolutely cannot stop posting pictures of their murder treats, because I don't want to see that shit!

After waiting almost 2 weeks for all the various parts to arrive for my new keyboard, I'm now stuck having to learn how to use QMK and create custom RGB coding if I want more than rainbow circle RGB and I hate coding. Doesn't help that this model isn't available on the QMK default list so everything is just that much more frustrating through it's all sorta starting to click I guess.

I want the Timberwolves to make history and come back from 0-3. Minnesota finally winning a championship would fix me.

Been playing an absolutely unreasonable amount of V Rising. (solo, pirated) I really like the combination of ARPG and survival crafting. The persistent server pvp sounds hellish though.
