Mom’s Basement and MAFWUCKERS.net

By Squee | Published: May 10, 2016

To follow up what I just posted about Free Radical Radio, I have been working on some new projects since moving back to Tempe. I will be elaborating on them more later, but for now I’ll give the following work-safe description(s). The main project is called Mom’s Basement (or, MAFW Mom’s Basement) and it is: […]

Free Radical Radio

By Squee | Published: May 10, 2016

I didn’t realize I had been building up some anticipation about my participation in Free Radical Radio; so, I won’t continue to. I am no longer working on the project because I moved back to Tempe, AZ. The story isn’t very interesting: I shattered my heel bone in September of ’15, lost my ability to […]

Practical and Aesthetic Applications of the Principle of Ungovernableness

By Squee | Published: April 25, 2016

Forward Over the past several years, I’ve tried to concern myself with the applications of anarchist theory to everyday life. In my writing, I continued to scale up to higher levels of abstraction for the sake of communicating insights that were more generally applicable. That is what abstraction is good for. However, as I have […]

My Problems …elections, christians, etc.

By Squee | Published: April 13, 2016

It’s election time. I’m watching mostly one side of a national debate post article after article in support of their candidate; or, against their candidate’s opponent. I have already seen enough tears, disappointment, frustration, and encouragement for the next year of my life. Personally, I can’t relate. In a way that is very similar to […]

Motorcycles >= Anarchy

By aragorn | Published: February 18, 2016

I haven’t been writing much lately. I was working too much over the last year (with less to show for it than I planned) and that, along with drama, made it so I really haven’t felt like I didn’t have much to say. My experiences have stored up and I hope over the next few […]

Ouchie

By Squee | Published: October 16, 2015

On 9/11/2015, I made the mistake of breaking my foot. The bone I broke is the calcaneus (or, “heel bone”). It is sometimes referred to as a Don Juan Fracture; or, a Lover’s Fracture. The term “Lover’s Fracture” comes from the nature of the break: besides car accidents, it is a break that usually happens […]

Green Anarchism: a Self-Interview

By Squee | Published: June 29, 2015

Q: Are you a Green Anarchist? A: The short answer is, “I don’t know.” I have more questions than I have answers about this. Like most things, it depends how the term is defined. Q: Well let’s start with definition, then. How do you understand the term? A: There has to be some sort of […]

After Finding Ground

By Squee | Published: June 6, 2015

Towards the end of my adolescence, I published a book called the Aberration that was the result of blending autobiographical, philosophical, and fictional writing which I had previously written. The greatest challenge of the project was systematically organizing and evaluating that work, highlighting the themes that ran through these different forms of activity, and coming […]

Have you checked out? Are you considering it?

By aragorn | Published: May 28, 2015

Anarchism cannot be reconciled to life in this world, to a world of day jobs and bills, of having children and mortgages, and of relationships that find politics to be exhausting and not a language of liberation. But, of course, this isn’t the anarchism-of-the-heart it’s the anarchism of “the scene” or anarchism “of the streets” […]

A Little Pain

By Squee | Published: April 9, 2015

I usually keep these things to myself, as one is expected to do. Locking the heat in until the pressure cooker I become has cooled and no longer threatens to scald those nearby with steam. The cooling process is slow, but it can be timed. Time heals, sure. With enough of it, moments that offer […]

Regarding “Decolonizing the Imagination”

By aragorn | Published: April 8, 2015

Dear friend, Thanks for asking about the oblique statement I made on Facebook to quote… I am terrified by the politics behind the phrase “decolonize the imagination” in regards to this link. To begin with let me state unequivocally that I loved Octavia Butler as an author and respect that fact that a generation of […]

Magic

By Squee | Published: April 1, 2015

Occult philosophers and mystics have played an important role in my life and thinking. Although not often my primary focus, their theories, techniques, and stories have rode alongside my interests in psychology, Western philosophy, anarchism, and hyperspace. I’ve definitely done my dabbling, mostly with doubt and suspicion. However, I have consistently found some of it […]

NAASN 2015

By aragorn | Published: March 28, 2015

I haven’t been blogging much lately. I’ve been feeling pretty low and unexcited about the anarchist space but didn’t want to devote much energy to complaining about it. I feel a bit better now. I participated in the 2015 NAASN gathering. I was motivated by Tom Nomad and his idea to discuss three perspectives on […]

Meaningless, Absurdity, Other People, Conversation

By Squee | Published: August 6, 2014

    (Albert Camus) Absurdism: In philosophy, “the Absurd” refers to the conflict between (a) the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life and (b) the human inability to find any. In this context absurd does not mean “logically impossible”, but rather “humanly impossible”.[1] The universe and the human mind do not […]

The Firewall

By Aragorn! blog | Published: July 29, 2014

This has been a harder piece to write than I expected it to be, since the point I want to discuss is relatively simple. What isn’t simple is the supporting material: the bits around the central bit. There is this larger piece I’m in the middle of thinking about the next issue of Black Seed: […]

[this is a short dialogue about socalled confidence and personality types]   Rick and James both hear about a hip local spot where they meet. James is sitting at the bar on his second drink about to order some food. Rick walks up to the bar to order his first. Rick is a large, strong […]

Hipster is just another word for getting older

By aragorn | Published: January 31, 2014

On the eve of what I’m sure will be the passing fart of a cultural torch being passed from the Gen Y: kids of failed academic careers and sensible sweaters, to the tragically tragic I want to salute the anarchist hipster-cum-hipster anarchist for demonstrating… well not much of anything at all except that time is […]

Against Alpha

By Squee | Published: December 9, 2013

  Earlier today I wrote this on the use of the word “Confident”. What I had in mind was the obnoxious use of the term in dating discourse: “When did “confident” go from describing how much doubt someone has in relationship to something (“I’m confident this will work”, “I’m confident in their capacity to manage […]
