Thanks to everyone that took part in the survey this weekend, I appreciated the feedback. Since this entire operation has never been about a top / down relationship and much more a communal space for all of us, this newsletter will for the foreseeable future change its frequency. Regular emails will be sent out on Monday, Wednesday, Friday with a subscribers-only email going out once a week at the very least when they’re ready. Let’s see how that works out for everyone and we’ll take it from there.
I will drop this ring on Friday in the Black Lodges Online Shop and will include a sizing chart in Wednesday’s newsletter as well as posting that online with all the other necessary info such as price and shipping times etc.
Before I get into the news, it’s Monday and that means a new playlist. This one is stacked with 40 songs that switch between dreamy jam psych rock, to alternative 80s tunes to get you dancing, anarchist 80s electro, some dark sludgy doom and some more. This was a good week for music and I am certain this will be a good one for you.
News broke this weekend about the uprisings in Guatemala, and it’s cautiously looking as if the chains we brought down on the entire continent are finally being broken. If you are interested in what is going on by all means click on this tweet below to read about the history of Guatemala, our governments role and, yeah, capitalism.
In other news from the old country, expect more full scale rioting breaking out in France as this new law actually was put into effect - Macron’s inability to actually govern without letting his greedy capitalist mask slip and at the slightest problem immediately swerve hard to the right should be clear to everyone at this point. A mistake mirrored all across Europe where you essentially have to admit that Europe is being governed by a gang of greedy pro-fascist pigs, but that’s just my take on this bullshit.
Remember the apprenticing SS-Incel Rittenhouse that travelled a fair amount to kill two BLM protestors while the cops applauded him? Not only did a GoFundMe campaign raise several million(!!) dollars to bail him out of jail - what a concept in itself - but he immediately was given brand endorsements, and if that isn’t enough to turn your stomach into a raging ball of acid, politicians then publicly endorsed him as well. A murdering neo-nazi. Tell me again how working with these ideas will heal America again?
Following that head-scratcher of a story here are a few hot takes on how we are paying to get seriously fucked over and are meant to take it. Remember that story from the beginning of this newsletter that involved a country called Guatemala? Just an idea.
