Epicenter Zone in San Francisco

Since last winter I have published 4 issues of Desert Stories -zines. They have photos from Rojava and stories that I wrote while being there. Both unpublished and already published ones. New issues will be still published during this year and hopefully during next winter also a photobook!

These little zines are available for purchase in some lovely places like the bookstore Het Fort van Sjakoo (Amsterdam), Black Mosquito webstore and also in few Infoshops like 56a (London), Mustan Kaninkolo (Helsinki) and a zine/art store Laitapuoti (Tampere).

The decline of mom and pop bookshops is a symptom of a sick society. I lie within its slowly decaying walls, planning the wake, desperately clinging on to life support with textbooks in one hand and zines in the other, shelves lined with graphic novels and leftist literary treasures from long past.

These walls are lined with ideas that you do not find at Barnes and Noble, but many of them are available to order to your doorstep courtesy of Amazon dot com. As much as I admire the convenience, I would like to live to see the day that Amazon burns down faster than the rainforest, whose namesake Jeff Bezos stole on the backs of cheap labour and our desire for convenience.

Oh well, at least the post office may survive this retail apocalypse, but I will live in the corpse of the info shop that we once painted signs and planned the revolution in. At least I can watch the shopping malls empty and prepare for the burn. Fast fashion is starting to slow down as our wallets become lighter.It can be had cheaper if you buy direct from the factories of Shenzhen and don't mind the wait. Drop ship your package to a vacant storefront for old times sake.

Even the mall isn't safe from this apocalypse. Didn't we used to hang out there on Thursday nights before the days of online shopping? We haven't exactly slowed down on our conspicuous consumption, the methods have just changed. The disease is still there and the symptoms have gone to the next stage.

The factories and power plants that choke the skies and foul the water overseas cannot run forever, we all know it. Nor can we continue to rip the Earth's blood and guts from the ground beneath us to feed this monster and expect to survive it. For one day our descendants will cut through the kudzu vines that will overtake the empty shopping malls as they make their way across the crumbling empty highways searching for plants and game.

As for me? You can lay me to rest in the bookstore that Bezos worked so hard to crush. The ideas that lie within its walls and pages will survive the onslaught of the cancers of capitalism gone viral. We may die, but the words of the revolutionaries will live on long after the last factory closes, the last shopping mall crumbles, and the last CEO is hung from the entrails of the last politician.

Hello folks of kolektiva.social and the wider fediverse, we've been lurking over the past few days getting a sense of how things work here, perhaps it's time for an #introduction? Read that hashtags can be helpful for finding each other so here goes!

wares is a project for collective autonomy and shared life in common, centring around a small #infoshop, #community #library and #autonomous space in so-called #Singapore on the #MalayPeninsula.

Our library collects #zines, #books, and other #printedmatter around #radical #emancipatory thought and practice, #art, and more, sharing them for communal use as a reading room, while also offering a physical space for intentional gathering and collective activity.

Taking a look at collective/feminist/anarchist bookshops, infoshops, and adjacent, for formation and operation models and general case studying. Firestorm in AVL, Wooden Shoe in PHL, Left Bank in SEA, who else? Esp this century and US, but a global list out there helpful too.

@utopify_org the other term I have seen used is #infoshop. there is a long history of people carrying anarchist literature to events to read. This verlag came 200+ km to fedicamp to set up this table, so it was definitely not done for capitalist reasons.

Another highlight of the day was also the amazing banner made by some lovely friends of the cafe which managed to attract the attention of people from neighbourhood. Sadly, we didn't take any photo of it so will save the flattering for next time.

Also, have you noticed how big our infoshop is becoming? 🤣

#Introduction 📢

We're a 12-yo bookstore co-op located in Southern Appalachia. As a queer, feminist collective we strive to promote exploration & encounter by maintaining a welcoming, sober, anti-oppressive space.

We stock what you'd expect at an #infoshop (ie zines & political histories) but also books about herbalism, gardening, comics, tons of sci-fi/fantasy, and a whole room of amaze kids books! We're lowbrow radicals who probably haven't read the obscure theory book you're asking about. 😂
