Local hacker tgirl. I read kinda whatever but I like a lot of scifi, cyberpunk and similar genres. Occasionally I make it through something more IRL but you know what they say about anarchists reading theory.

So what can we embrace in place of History? Myth. Not the obscurist superstitions and holy lies of religion and capitalism, but the democratic myths of storytellers.
