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.

The Specter of Slavery Still Stalks the Land

Countermapping Alternatives to the Neoliberal Nonfuture
Helping children learn how to map is a radical act when they map spaces that have been left out of history; through that process they learn that people have always acted collaboratively and in ways that are beneficial to their communities.
