On Pathologising Structural Criticism
Pathologising structural criticism as anger lets power avoid accountability. This polemical personal-political essay argues for dignity, boundaries, and solidarity without self-abandonment, rejecting respectability politics that demand dispossessed people make harm sound polite before they are recognised as human within every collective struggle.
UPDATE 12-May-2026 07:45 UTC+7.
355/560 — 205 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 4 days 🥹 I appreciate all kinds of distribution, really. I do really need help.
UPDATE 11-May-2026 11:30 UTC+7.
353/560 — 207 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 5 days. Monthly pledges help ease the instability that comes with disability and having no fixed income or healthcare, though one-off support also helps immensely. Small contributions add up toward the essentials that keep me afloat: food, bills, and internet access. If...
Update 2026-05-07 16:40 UTC+7
No movement so far. I still need $212 to cover the total of $560 for this month. The deadline is fast approaching :') I'm disabled without a fixed income or healthcare. Support helps me stay connected and continue my work in mutual aid, political writing, and advocacy. If you have the capacity, I appreciate any support. If not, please help amplify this far and wide. Thank you, thank you https://wrzky.com/links
It’s been a minute…
After losing multiple Threads accounts, WRZKY began rebuilding through the Fediverse, federating the website via ActivityPub, and developing independent mutual aid infrastructure beyond Meta’s corporate control and algorithmic suppression—while preparing the return of Mutual Aid Checkpoint through decentralised platforms and newsletter-based community organising.
Update 05-05-2026
348/560 — $212 left to cover May essentials. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed so far I’m disabled with no healthcare or fixed income, and I need ongoing support to stay afloat. If you can spare at least $5/month, it would make a real difference. If you prefer one-off support, that helps just as much....
Mutual Aid Checkpoint Returns!
WRZKY's weekly mutual aid checkpoint Insha'Allah will be back very soon
A More Perfect Morality: The Progressive Failure of Ethics
Liberal democracies selectively apply universal human rights, and there is a progressive failure to extend moral consideration to: Palestinians, Congolese, Rohingyans, Uyghurs, trans people, women, Black communities, Indigenous Peoples, the chronically ill, mentally ill, poor, sex workers, the disabled, the houseless, children, elderly, Jewish people, immigrants, gender/sexual/romantic minorities, incarcerated people, Romani and Dalits, and animals. True universal rights require principled solidarity beyond tribal boundaries.

Egg sticker update: We raised $176 NZD!
Last week I posted about some stickers I designed and had put up for sale to benefit victims of the shooting in Christchurch, NZ. They sold out far, far more quickly than I ever would have guessed.

Grassroutes: how three students helped save the Internet
Like many of you, I blacked out my site for the protests against SOPA and PIPA. These are bad laws that describe themselves as being anti-piracy but will hinder business, destroy jobs, undermine the working of the Internet, and - to add insult to injury - won't stop piracy. Khan Academy has a great overview; my previous post about it is over here. In this post, though, I'm going to rave, because I'm majorly impressed. The major feature of my SOPA blackout page was a simple widget that detected
