On Thursday, April 3rd we'll be hosting Boff Whalley, a founding member of the anarcho-punk / folk band Chumbawamba, on tour with his new book "BUT: Life Isn't Like That, Is It?" It's a book about stories, and a book of stories, in which Boff explores how the tales we encounter in films, novels, and plays aren't the same as the ones we experience in the real world, and how disruptions stop our lives from following simple narratives.

For folks who aren't able to join us in-person, this event will also be livestreamed at youtube.com/c/FirestormCoop (no registration necessary).

Found an early 1985 #Chumbawamba recording on youtube.

'Two events that re-route the agit-pop politics of Chumbawamba, both from 1984. Firstly, the Brighton Bomb. Half the Cabinet covered in rubble, and suddenly political violence – of the type which defeated Hitler, freed Mandela, ended slavery, and overthrew the state communist dictatorships – blows a hole in the pacifist edge to the band’s polemic. Secondly, and more importantly, the beginning of the great Miners’ Strike. From early on, the Armley Miners Support group is twinned with Frickley pit in South Elmsall – Armley Socialist Workers make the connections and Chumbawamba supply the van and the street collections on Saturday mornings. The band mix playing benefit gigs for the miners with traveling down to the picket lines at five and six o’clock in the morning. And during this bitter winter some of Chumbawamba join a theatre group who travel from village to village putting on a Christmas pantomime for miner’s kids, down to South Wales and around Yorkshire.'

@skykiss One of my favorite party conversations is when people are like “ugh I hate chumbawamba, those two songs from the 90s are the worst” and I’m like “actually no did you know they’re antifa anarchist anti-capitalists and their back catalog is full of protest songs from the time of the Diggers on forward and they told people to steal their records from record stores, chumbawamba is punk af” and nobody ever knows this BUT THEY SHOULD.

fresh #Introduction time because it's been like 2 years since I wrote one!

I'm erin, a transfeminine front end developer (or to steal from @brad_frost front of the front end developer) living in so called Portland, Oregon. I seem to mostly post about mental health, old thinkpads, craft web development, privacy, security, and the death of the world wide web. I post about politics too (sorry about that!). I have a blog at @erin and a I post about books I'm reading on bookwyrm at @kvuzet@wyrmsign.org

ok, time for a big old list of tags that I'll probably update later:
