Does anyone know any good books on "Mutual Aid Project Management" or "Mutual Aid Group Dynamics" or "Anarchic Group Dynamics" etc?
My feet are dipped in the water and I'm starting to swim around without touching the bottom of the pool and I'd like to learn more and skill up now that I have familiarity with the subject.
Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism, or socialism, means the reorganization of society upon scientific principles and the abolition of causes which produce vice and crime. Capitalism first produces these social diseases and then seeks to cure them by punishment.
-- August Spies
" To call the population of strangers in the midst of which we live "society" is such a usurpation that even the sociologists wonder if they should abandon a concept that was, for a century, their bread and butter. Now they prefer the metaphor of a network to describe the connection of cybernetic solitudes, the intermeshing of weak interactions under names like "colleague," "contact," "buddy," acquaintance," or "date." Such networks sometimes condense into a milieu, where nothing is shared but codes, and where nothing is played out except the incessant recomposition of identity."

i've made 70 copies to share of 'blessed is the flame', a piercing text on holocaust resistance and fighting back even in profoundly hopeless situations.
i had initially wanted to send one to someone in prison, but this text has been out of print for a bit and difficult to source from an official bookstore, so i decided to d.i.y. a bunch with free printing and a borrowed paper cutter and spiral binder. my color printer for the cover started fritzing halfway, so i got two tones out of them -- i call the green ones "limited edition"! the cover pages are printed on heavier cardstock. i am a total amateur, so a few of these copies have extra "personality" to them, but the text is all there and they work fine.
if you would like one, send me a direct message or email with a mailing address and color …

if you would like one, send me a direct message or email with a mailing address and color preference and i'll send one. shipping one domestically costs me ~$5, i can offer to cover single shipping costs for folks in the u.s., but would have to ask for money if shipping abroad. if you're in the portland, oregon area, please arrange for a drop off or pick up. if you run a distro or shop, i can send a box with several if you cover shipping.

Tomorrow is the International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners (or, simply, June 11th, because the full name is a mouthful) and we're marking the date with a fundraiser!
Last year we raised almost $900 for freedom fighters inside the prison system, and this year we're aiming to break a grand by donating net proceeds from every single sale we make in-store and online!
Every book, t-shirt, sticker, or other item you purchase Wednesday will generate funds for prisoner commissary, legal defense, and other crucial support needs.
So, grab your next read, and then, if you're local, head next door to The Odd, where BRABC is organizing a benefit concert featuring four bands, local art, and a raffle. For more information on June 11th, check out https://june11.noblogs.org, where you can also find a list of individuals supported by the campaign.
