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.

The other day while I was at work I was browsing steam’s cozy game sale. My partner is a big fan of the genre so I wishlisted a few games to show her later I thought she might like

I work as a recording engineer so I couldn’t really properly watch the trailers I just kinda used a vibes based approach

Now some back story that’s relavant is my gf is basically that girl from the ancient “I love cats, I love ever kind of cat, I just want to hug all of them” internet meme. So I saw one of the games that had a cat and was like “oh nice, saved”

We’re watching all the trailers and we get to that one. And it’s a cute little indie game thing but as it goes the cats owner, an elderly lady, suffers some kind of illness and her daughter comes in and kicks the cat out into the street where I assume, the bulk of the game takes place

The trailer shows the cat staring in the house while it’s raining with the words “does she not love me anymore…?”, it failing to catch a bird and then cutting to it pawing at the door with the words “I’m not cut out for the outdoors, can I please come back in” and shit like that

Not to mention we’ve been struggling this year with her mom having a sudden medical injury so like… man. Should have watched the trailer before showing her that one she was like “oh no!!” And basically in tears by the time we moved on lol

Imagining a guy who thinks the trump trial was a political hit job, and that's how Biden finally got his respect.

For those who criticize Israeli cuisine as being stolen Arab foods, they also apparently like Apartheid Charred Rice in Coca Cola Broth CW:Meat, Genocide.

Okay but coke is a legit cooking ingredient. There is, or was, a guy in Anchorage AK who ran a [redacted] stand downtown during the summer and was famous for sauteeing his onions in coke.

Also this article as silly as fuck. Oh, the privation and hardship of being deployed, idfk, like ten feet from the nearest fast food joint because Israel is tiny.

Got randomly recommended a video of 2 chainz doing the "Most expensive" stuff, and I had it run in the background for a while, and it's funny how 2 chainz is just not buying into this at all. He very obviously thinks this shit is ridiculous, and he could not be more the target demographic for this nonsense.

Also this entire thing is proof of our decay as human beings

Victoria 3 Amateur Pro Tip: If you're in the British Market you can basically have the world's most profitable trade center just by exporting oil and opium to the Chinese

I think this helps you out a lot because it makes super high wage shopkeeper jobs, which will then in turn easily promote into capitalists (this won't be as important in the update in June though)
