Morning Comrades! Before I get into today’s business, a few words about Pride and Pride Month. The extreme commercialization of Pride Month, actually, the existence thereof to be precise, is relatively alien from a European perspective but is also happening here, no questions asked. Now, there are a few very simple facts about where I and Black Lodges stand on this matter. First off, fuck all commercial co-opting of pride and we all know why. Secondly, no cops, no class traitors and no reactionaries at pride, period. Lastly and most importantly, irrespective of your own orientation, as a person abiding by leftist revolutionary ideology there is simply nothing but utter support of all sexual, mental and physical readings and orientation and until there is unequivocal equality without fear of reprisal therefrom our work here is not done. Until that day, we use whatever means necessary to ensure this. Every human being is equal and that’s that. This is a black and white issue for me and this is what I and this brand / cesspool of agitation stands for. With that, here is a wonderful documentary on the Stonewall Riots that for many stands for the beginning of Pride. Watch this, share it, and get to work.
Two Black Lodges announcements, first one being, Sticker Packs. I have thought long and hard about making and selling stickers and it never sat right with me. Selling stickers is hugely wasteful for everyone involved, the production, the work shipping them, the costs etc- it just doesn’t make sense to me. However, I am happy to say, as of now, there will be monthly sticker packs available as a digital download. The money is going directly to my local homeless shelter and you essentially get 5 print ready PDF’s that you can send to your local sticker comrade and get to work. This eliminates waste, time and puts the control in your hand. This first sticker pack is available now and below.
Secondly, I am dropping a new, more light-hearted shirt this Friday. It will be this graphic on a white t-shirt and I’ll be posting teasers over on IG later today. The paying comrades will be receiving a special early bird link and discount code on Thursday and everyone else will be getting the link on Friday. Eat Out. Ethical Consumption under Capitalism is here for you and me.
With that, we are going straight to the fuckening for today as I am putting together a bigger email for Friday’s Newsletter, without the shit posts because I enjoyed that, but they do take more time. So, enjoy, share the shit out of this and as always, I am thankful for your time and support.
