The Future Doesn’t Have to Suck
The thing that drew me to M. Arusha Wehm’s novel The Department of What It (Really) Means to be Human was the promise on the dust jacket that the book was “a thoughtful, optimistic sci-fi novel set in a near-future Aotearoa New Zealand where an investigator navigates a newly post-capitalist world in their search for...

But the celebration of America’s 200th birthday was a big enough cultural event that artifacts from the bicentennial celebration were kicking around throughout my youth. I’d occasionally encounter the special 200th birthday quarters, which featured a minuteman playing a drum...

Better Than Sex, 30 Years Later: Revisiting the Book That Broke My Brain
07:39. I’m in my lounge chair drinking black coffee, the morning still soft around the edges. For my morning read today, I’ve been revisiting Hunter S. Thompson, starting with the book that began my literary love affair with his work: Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie. There’s something about Hunter that still gets...
I finished Spotify the Gnostics, Here's the First Church of David Bowie. The first part was a nostalgic trip through the 80s. I enjoyed that; however, I bought the book for the second part, Sean Manseau's Phonomancy work. a bit disappointed. Read like a drug-fuelled psychodelusional trip through his own ego consciousness. Maybe my discomfort...

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....
