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.

Sectarianization Is a Sickness
The sectarian narrative is often completely false; this messaging of fear is designed to preserve authoritarian regimes in the face of popular protest movements that have nothing to do with sect.

Abolish the Entire Settler Colony
Police and prisons are not the end-all and be-all of white supremacist power. Before the prison was established, before the official uniformed constables were in existence, there was still totalitarian control over blackness. Abolition must encompass critique of the entire settler colony.
