After reading this gem “My White, Vegan, Anarchist Acquaintance” (which actually is hilariously true, I wasn’t saying ‘gem’ to be snide) I thought back on my experience with self-identified white radicals/progressives/anarchists/socialists/vegans/etc.

It was rad! I’m bummed I had to take duty every Thursday @ 7:30pm, but I’m stoked I can be there at all!

I’ve been back on campus since Jan 15th, and I haven’t felt like I was really really back until I went to an ISO meeting tonight. I’m working my way through Building the Party: Lenin, 1893- 1914 by Tony Cliff and damn if I’m not actually excited to read this stuff. haha
I usually have a deep rooted aversion to history-heavy political writing, but it actually makes me feel...

Too many people on here just so easily click "reblog" and employ the same tactics that traditional marketing schemes use -- you know, the marketing that they themselves hate for being overly simplistic.
