Ask a Crow
Dear CAW, What’s going on with these manarchists? It’s 2025, have we not gotten past the tedious takeovers, the pointless pontification, the theoretical throwdowns, the fuckboy fuckery, the unaccountable accountability, the righteous reversals, the useless utopias, the know-it-all nay-saying, the abiding abuse, and the lamentable lack of insight?
by Dani Burlison & Margaret Elysia Garcia Red Flag Warning: Mutual Aid and Survival in California’s Fire Country comes out later this month from AK Press. The book itself has been an act of mutual aid and brings together folks from different corners of California who share their experiences
She's Not There
In our impatience to abolish everything, we don’t open up avenues of conspiracy that use what is to do what is not yet.
Podcasts
In the first episode of Resistance is Fertile, carla and Elia share why they are making this podcast, what Star Trek (and stories in general) mean to them, and also talk a bit about some of the characters and plotlines that resonate with them most. In short, episode one is
Ask a Crow
Dear CAW, One of the obstacles I have in imagining getting past the current society is the relative comfort I have to offset the struggle of working to survive. For example, I know that something like coffee, so readily available for us, is a colonial export based on exploitative labor—
Thank you for joining us for our Launch Week! After today, we'll send out a roundup newsletter once a week. We're very excited to start offering seasonal gatherings for us to write together, starting with our first annual Summer Solstice CAW (Corvid Anarcho Witchcraft) Writing Circle
Before the 1950s, films were printed and distributed on strips of nitrate cellulose, a transparent material used industrially as a substitute for gunpowder. Nitrate film was extremely flammable. Because nitrate cellulose contains oxygen, the fires it causes are impossible to extinguish. Nitrate Fires is our next offering. It will be
a worker-run anarchist platform of art, culture, and all the shiny things we can find!
A conversation between Shuli and Dean Spade, about his recent book Love in a Fucked Up World
Reading a book alone is all well and good, but have you ever talked about one with other people? While we get further lured into mediated isolation, we can still find escape from the enclosure through discussion groups around the works we love (or don't) that prefigure the
Happy launch week everybody, and welcome to the murder! Today we're extremely excited to announce and officially open the first of our full CAW features, our community discord server! Our server will be a home for hanging out, meeting one another, doing bits, mutual aid and community building.
It is finally here, these fledgling crows are officially taking flight (aka launching)! We have been building up to this moment, sharing writings and podcasts, so you can all get a sense of our regular offerings. Our plan is to become a reliable hub of anarchist and autonomous analysis, thinking,
What do you all do when you are feeling the urgency to connect with more folks but also impatient with the process and time it takes for new people to come in?
Today I’m re-releasing a conversation I recorded for the Final Straw Radio with Joshua Clover in 2021. I wanted to present this conversation in memoriam of Joshua, who we learned last week had died.
With every terrible event, my mind can’t stop from focusing on its contingency: it didn’t have to be this way. It almost wasn’t. If we knew better, we could prepare.
Striking back at transphobes of any gender is just as much a part of our transition as taking hormones, wearing new clothes, changing pronouns, surgeries, access to trans social spaces . . .
Can we make sure our belief in anarchy and freedom is not just another faith that serves as an alibi and positions us above history nodding our heads? The Enlightenment runs deep, a most dangerous export of colonialism. When we concede to reason(s), we lose autonomy.
When Gaius Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River and entered the territory of Rome at the head of one of his Gallic legions, in 49 BC, he officially violated Roman sovereignty, broke the imperium, and began the civil war that would lead to the final collapse of the Roman Republic.
* This is an introduction to a series of essays about the women’s revolution in Rojava. Over the following weeks I will highlight different aspects of, and groups within, the women’s revolution and how western nations could learn a thing or two from them. Stay tuned… At the Iraq-Syria
