The latest from Empires Crumble

It is not a coincidence that mainstream feminist movements are spearheaded by white, hetero, middle class women, and pinkpussy hats. In the margins of their presence though, lies a beautiful resistance waiting to be heard.

A new release from Gods&Radicals Press

“Our cities, once bright jewels on the plain, are swept away in shards of shattered glass and buckled girder. In the rending shriek I hear the one-eyed king of giants speak.”

My identity as a Black woman should not serve to alienate me from the working class…

Here is a short overview of G&R’s past year in terms of diversity.

The memories move slowly, languidly. Like syrup or honey, sweet and oh so good, but clear and distinct. I can even remember snatches of conversation, still catch the scent of summer; the early morning coolness, then the hot air of afternoon, tinged with freshly mown grass. I can still feel the shiny black water worm writhing in the palm of my hand as I unfurled my fingers, hoping to see a newt.

Current Big Green proposals for a Green New Deal are coalescing around inadequate targets.

And yet the wheel turns. Hermeticism tells us nothing stands still. The principle of rhythm is ever in effect. The cycles of nature are no different.
