Climate Trauma
There is no way that we can get out of the warming condition or prevent climate breakdown without destroying and terminating things that are dangerous.
Transcripts
Out of principle, the Antidote Writers Collective prepares all transcripts by hand. No love for AI here. Attentive and conscientious humans still do better work.
Additionally, this is labor we are willing to do upon request or suggestion, with adequate compensation: we’re an unfunded project so we can be coaxed into selling our labor for money. But! if we like the material we’re transcribing we also accept permission to post as fair reward.

Living Well and Dying Well, Together
We create spaces of care, but it’s difficult to keep them together in a world that tells you this is not allowed. We’re all broken by this structure, which is why I want to get rid of it.

From Saraqeb to Raqqa
The mood is that ISIS is so evil that anything is a justified response to it. People don’t know the history of Raqqa and what happened there over the last few years. They don’t know there are human beings living there.
