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.

Slavery itself is a state of war. The only way one could subject people to the absolute will of a master is through massive amounts of violence. There is no slavery without violence and terror.

Doing Eco-Defense “In a Good Way”
Climate change is just the latest phase of colonial dislocation, and the latest phase of the disruption of what had been long-standing ecological systems on this continent.

For a Radical Subversive Pragmatism
Precarious capitalism did not give birth to a precarious class, but to a precarious multitude. We need everybody experiencing precarity in their lives to join in a broad alliance of forces.
