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.

Climate change is an invitation for all of us to recognize the reality that we’re in, and to ask essential questions of ourselves and each other. What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of our death? How do we wish to live, and how do we wish to die? There’s no getting away from it.

The power of feminism right now is that it can be a uniting tool to make people understand how their struggles are related. We are much more powerful when we are fighting together and learning from each other than if we stick to our little pet cause or only work with what’s in front of us instead of working from a systemic analysis.
Struggles will emerge from below to reclaim democracy for ordinary people and roll back financial power, by reclaiming some existing institutions and innovating new democratic forms of social organization from below.

I love that folks are in the struggle on the front lines but dancing with each other, singing with each other, making mixtapes. When we make decisions, we put on R&B and dance together. We’re remembering that we’re not alive to suffer, to fight, to struggle. We’re alive to love each other and build community, to evolve.

There is no correlation between harsh and inhumane policies meant to “deter” migrants and whether or not they will actually migrate. That’s a risk they are willing to take because they are running for their lives, and they still strongly believe that they can build a better life for themselves and their families.

Workers in the shipping industry get that they are part of something global. It’s not like they have to read books about this. Their lives tell them this.
