Hey! We’re looking for some fun new people to contribute here and there. You should check out the Submissions page if you think you got something to say!

Nick over at the Black Sun Gazette has a great piece of commentary from a working class perspective on the phenomena surrounding “by nothing day” type movements. Check it out by clicking here!

If you’ve got some time to invest, we highly recommend you sit down and soak in a new essay by anthropologist David Graeber called “Debt: the first five thousand years.” Much thanks to @misterbarnacles who let us know about this amazing piece via Twitter.

Hey there! We’ve been a bit sporadic lately, but not to worry! Things will be coming more regularly soon. Just a few short updates:

We’re taking on a few new contributors here, so look out for some new stuff from people in the coming weeks.

The very first Liquid Burning of Apocalyptic Bard Letters went over so [...]

This week, we’d like to give a big new housewarming welcome to our friends at the Chicago Underground Library. On January 30, they reopen their doors at a brand new location. If you’re passing through town and want to see the best collection of Chicago based DIY media, the CUL is the place.

This week’s pick goes to CHIRP Radio. Congrats on the launch of what will hopefully be Chicago’s best independent radio station!

And we’re back, friends! It’s good to see you all. Look for more posts, more contributors and new stuff this year. We promise, you’ll be into it!

I’m guessing I told you to come here. It’d be odd for someone to find his or her way here unassisted. Either way, AIM: k8eliza or Facebook me and let me know how this all looks on your browser. Unless it’s Firefox on a Mac. Got that covered.
