“Authority is supposedly grounded in wisdom, but I could see from a very early age that authority was only a system of control. And it didn’t have any inherent wisdom. I quickly realized that you either became a power or you were crushed.”   TH 66

Zine to share!

Nic Farey has sent us This Here.

TH 65

The ish opens with an interesting article about the settlement movement, a friend he shared a settlement flat with  and a terrible murder that occurred near there which remains unsolved.

Nic has been diagnosed with a form of leukemia. There is a reasonably effective treatment, he says, but we’ll keep him in our thoughts through what must be a difficult time.
