Transfem DIY HRT Guide (letter) (a4)- Transmasc DIY HRT Guide (letter) (a4)
info from diyhrt.info...if you want to read on a device it's better to just go there :)
If this is your path, as it is mine, let me offer whatever solace you may find in this monstrous benediction: May you discover the enlivening power of darkness within yourself. May it nourish your rage. May your rage inform your actions, and your actions transform you as you struggle to transform your world.

- The Continuing Appeal of Nationalism by Fredy Perlman
Why do the ideas of nation and race still have such an influence even after the lessons of fascism have been so widely drawn? An excellent analysis by the late Fredy Perlman that answers this question and reveals the enduring appeal of nationalism to statist rulers of both left and right.

Global anarchist revolution is not going to happen. Global climate change is now unstoppable.
Yet to be disillusioned — with global revolution/with our capacity to stop climate change — should not alter our anarchist nature, or the love of nature we feel as anarchists. There are many possibilities for liberty and wildness still.
What are some of these possibilities and how can we live them? What could it mean to be an anarchist, an environmentalist, when global revolution and world-wide social/eco sustainability are not the aim? What objectives, what plans, what lives, what adventures are there when the illusions are set aside and we walk into the world not disabled by disillusionment but unburdened by it?
- Blessed Is The Flame
Underneath the ubiquitous sheep-to-the-slaughter metaphor is buried a profound historical possibility: wherever the Nazis sought to impose domination and violence, people resisted. Behind the images of people wearing armbands, boarding trains, and walking placidly into gas chambers, lies a rich history of recalcitrance’ and insurrection. Inside of the Nazi concentration camps, places meticulously designed to subjugate and exterminate human beings, people organized, conspired, sabotaged, and reflexively fought back against their oppressors. Though there are certainly lessons to be taken from World War II about the potential for whole populations to be rendered docile, there are also lessons about what it means to defy pacification in extraordinarily bleak circumstances. When we forget these kinds of stories, we forget about our own capacities for resistance. This text is about telling those stories and letting them become part of our own struggles.
- Against The Gendered Nightmare
In the past several years, the question of gender has been taken up again and again by the anarchist milieu. And still few attempts amount to much more than a rehashing of old ideas. Most positions on gender remain within the constraints of one or more of the ideologies that have failed us already, mainly Marxist feminism, a watered down eco-feminism, or some sort of liberal “queer anarchism.” Present in all of these are the same problems we’ve howled against already: identity politics, representation, gender essentialism, reformism, and reproductive futurism. While we have no interest in offering another ideology in this discourse, we imagine that an escape route could be charted by asking the question that few will ask; by setting a course straight to the secret center of gendered life which all the ideological answers take for granted. We are speaking, of course, about Civilization itself.
- An Invitation to Desertion
Will the human being be nothing but
a function, a mere epiphenomenon of vast political and social forces, a residue of
commodity production and consumption? Or will the human being be an existentialist at the center of her own life, a creature who coparticipates in the creation
and consumption of her habitat, an animal among a world she senses as kin?
- Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few.
DBT Skills workbooks
DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) was first created by Marsha Linehan as treatment for borderline personality disorder, but it's since proven useful for many people dealing with anxiety, depression, and other issues. A guiding principle for Marsha Linehan has been helping people build lives worth living, and this workbook is aimed at teaching you the skills to make your life more worth living. Read the words and, very importantly, do the exercises. Practice. Even if you only work at it for a few minutes a day, or just one exercise per day, try to make consistent progress at practicing. Good luck, I believe in you, and I love you.
other stuff i didn't make pretty covers for but it's still fun.
