  • An anarchist perspective on deservingness (the philosophy of desert)
  • Rejecting the binary of “good” and “bad” people
  • Why coercive ways of “holding people accountable” don't work
  • Self-accountability
  • The role of intergenerational complex trauma in our desire to dominate other people

Relationship Anarchy: A Primer ($7 value)

Learn the basics of relationship anarchy (RA)!

Content:

  • the meaning of hierarchy and why we practice non-hierarchical relating
  • the dominance of the romantic couple unit and the traditional family in our society
  • how the social norm of centering romantic partnership and the traditional family maintain capitalism
  • RA encourages us to center friendship in our lives
  • community care over individualism
  • unbundling relationships
  • stepping off the relationship escalator
  • critiques of monogamous relationship agreements
  • consent, RA, and monogamy

This zine is influenced by my experience practicing RA over the past 8 years, the reading I've done, and all of the conversations I've had with my RA community throughout many years.

(Vol. 1) The Hyper-Individualism of Nonviolent Communication ($12 value)

Parts 1-4 of my essay series on the ways in which nonviolent communication (NVC) is rooted in and promotes hyper-individualism.

Content:

  • the use of the concept of “violence” to demonize certain forms of communication
  • the idea that judgmental language is always violent
  • how NVC ignores systems of power
  • acknowledging power dynamics in our communication
  • how NVC mistakes ways of coping with oppression for compassionate communication
  • learning how to move through defensive reactions, and the importance of accepting criticism
  • a trauma-informed lens on the idea that other people can never cause how we feel

Most of the essays are written in response to the original theory of NVC from the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshal Rosenberg, but you do not need to have read the book in order to understand the critiques. In fact, the topics in the essays are relevant to anyone who wants to learn about what hyper-individualism means, how it's deployed, and more interdependent and nuanced alternatives to it.

(Vol. 2) The Hyper-Individualism of Nonviolent Communication ($12 value)

Parts 5-7 of my essay series on the ways in which nonviolent communication (NVC) is rooted in and promotes hyper-individualism.

Content:

  • challenging the ideology of personal responsibility
  • rejecting the myth of individual autonomy
  • the ableism (erasure of disabled minds/bodies) within NVC
  • how NVC is built upon unrealistic expectations of self-control
  • NVC's inadvertant support of diet culture
  • the impact of our environment, the nervous system, and power dynamics on our behavior

Most of the essays are written in response to the original theory of NVC from the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshal Rosenberg, but you do not need to have read the book in order to understand the critiques. In fact, the topics in the essays are relevant to anyone who wants to learn about what hyper-individualism means, how it's deployed, and more interdependent and nuanced alternatives to it.
