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.

We Are Not Smarter Than How We Feel
All of us are in a collective coming-of-age of the Social Network Internet Machine, and we’re starting to understand that it affects us emotionally, as a global world, together. And it has mood swings.

Un-shit Your Head
Advertising is fuel for our capitalist economy based on consumption and exponential growth, which obviously is non-sustainable. That can’t help but cause problems for the environment—and is arguably also responsible for resource wars and widening inequality.
Walls as Weapons, Property as Death
