Today we stumbled upon a recent Finnish translation of We Intend to Live In Peace, an anonymous manifesto we republished in English and Spanish. Me tahdomme elää rauhassa.
Margaret Killjoy, over at Birds Before the Storm, has opened a new website, Public Domain For The Win, which is a collection of high-quality old etchings and such for use in graphic design. Good stuff!
We are pleased to announce our contribution to the latest CrimethInc. project, Rolling Dumpster. A 12 page comic featuring the adventures of Skip, the Dapper Dumpster, as he protests the G-20 in Pittsburgh.

Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness has a sister organization! Sometime last year, some enthusiastic radical steampunks in the UK picked up the editing of SteamPunk Magazine, and they’ve started publishing it as well. So now, there is Vagrants Among Ruins, a radical steampunk publishing collective based in the UK! We are looking forward to working with them on any number of projects!
Margaret Killjoy’s book-length exploration of the intersections between anarchism and fiction, Mythmakers & Lawbreakers: anarchist writers on fiction is out! Find or request it at your local infoshop, independent bookstore, etc. etc… or just buy it online from AK Press or Amazon.com. Also included in the book, as interviewees, is our own Jimmy T. Hand, and SteamPunk Magazine regular Professor Calamity.
Being the Explorations of One Fine Summer
We’re proud to release Magpie Killjoy’s first photo book, Being the Explorations of One Fine Summer: A Personal Zine in Photo Book Form. This is 52 full-color pages of photos and personal narrative of the exploration of mountaintop removal sites in Appalachia, of forest defense in Cascadia, and of, er, butchering roadkill. We’ll make a PDF of it available online for free quite shortly. It can be bought for $7 through CreateSpace, the probably-evil print-on-demand corporation that we worked with to bring this book out so cheaply.
You can download it for free as well (warning, 83mb file!), formatted for web-reading (or printing, for the adventurous!)
This isn’t actually being published by us, but instead by AK Press. But Margaret Killjoy, one of our authors, edited the thing, and Jimmy T. Hand, another of our authors, is interviewed within, as well as SteamPunk Magazine (and apocalypse-guide) illustrator Colin Foran and author Professor Calamity. It’s now available for pre-order, and all the information is over on Margaret’s page.
In 1915 or so, a kinda wingnutty but rather genius writer named Charlotte Perkins Gilman serialized the tale Herland in a magazine that she ran. In 1979, someone bothered to collect it into a book. But it has taken until 2009 for someone to collect it into a zine! (Well, that I know of).
Prepare yourself for the zany adventures of three kinda asinine American gentlemen who find themselves in an all-female utopia, a socialist one that touches on animal rights and food-forestry! (Like all utopias, I’m glad I don’t live there. But it’s a great story).
Note that this is a ridiculously thick zine, 24 sheets of paper for a total of 96 pages. It might be hard to staple.
