Yo so here's a thing. I've had herpes 1 and 2 for most of my life. Since I was in my teens. I'm 100% asymptomatic. It allows me to start all my potential relationships with vulnerability and honesty as prerequisites, which is in an excellent exercise and something that's always been beneficial...

2008 was like, right when I was traveling. There were so many folks on the road/rails around then. It didn't hit me until years later that the economy had gone to shit around that same time. It's interesting that this article touches on that. Just a bunch of whacky kids out there livin the...

Atifascist skins really need to double down when it comes to these assholes. Enough is enough. I'm so sorry this happened to this person. Hope she's recovering well, both mentally and physically.

I've only ever heard of someone burying gear like that in the book "Into the Wild". I've never actually met anyone who did it. I agree with folks that you should try and keep weight minimal and avoid carrying non-essentials. Of course, what's essential is pretty subjective. Most stores are...

I might know this guy. If it's the same Josh, I'll pass this message on.

I agree that Norcal and Oregon are better for newbs than Socal. LA sucks as far as I'm concerned. If you can't hitch or ride freight, maybe ride sharing somehow is an option? Good luck y'all.

I feel y'all on this thread, lots of good advice and commentary. I caught my first freight at about 18 and it was a terrifying but great experience. I've never been very good at getting where I wanted to go on trains, but it's just awesome and exciting when you get it right. My folks worried for...

^ Yeah street sweeper blades are the way to go.

Another issue to note is the added charge of 'possession of burglary tools' on top of a trespassing ticket. Same goes for bolt cutters. It can add a felony charge :/ It might be a better idea to try and catch the rear power, if you're worried about freezing to death or whatnot. Edit: It is a...

I enjoy basket making and especially natural fiber work. I find knitting to be one of the best road activities of all time, and you can even sell small items. It's just so light weight. But as far as gear, modern just has so many advantages. I've always been a fan of the intersection if function...

I heard your train go by ;) Scamtrak is l a warmer option this time of year at least.

I'm probably gonna post more about the pack I use later, but I always find myself wishing I packed lighter. I have a 40L back pack that works just fine for what I need so far, but everyone's different. I traveled for two months with an rei flash 65 and the whole time I was just like, fuck this...

I heard, and correct me if I'm wrong, but an Italian polititian got sent a mailbomb by some Ultras over free soccer tickets a few years back. People are an interesting bunch for sure.

I really sympathize with how terrifying it can be to be trapped, by emotions or circumstances in a relationship that is dragging you down. A lot of folks are recommending you take some space or end the relationship. I know first hand how terrifying that can be, especially when you don't have a...

Yeah I can verify this. There are still anarchists, but the whitaker is getting pretty gentrified, despite there being a lot of tweakers. I can suggest places to camp, but I don't know about any squats.

Yo, check it out neighborhoodanarchists.org We have a bunch of projects going on and can link you up with other like minded folks. Pretty diverse collectice.

I think the natural and cultural history museum on campus is doing free admission in honor of indigenous peoples day? I don't when exactly. What even is a calander?

Dogs are so adaptable and communicative. If you're consistent and kind, and also listen and watch their behavior, you should be totally fine. No real specific advice, just a calming reminder that dogs tend to figure shit out and find some way of telling you what they need :) Good luck!

Yep exactly. It comes from an archos meaning without rulers. It's about the absence of heirarchy, not the absence of structure or rules. Fun fact, the circle around the A is an O that stands for Order :) Just posting as a reply to your reply for convenience sake.

I see where you're coming from. I work with other anarchists where I live who teach permaculture and sustainable urban farming workshops for free regularly. It might be a good idea, if you encounter people who you feel lack certain skills, to see if you can connect them to some place they can...

Oh man I love this flic! I lived in a punk house where we would watch this like twice a month. One of those movies where clearly people involved knew what a little about the punk scene, unlike so many other punksploitation films of that era. Rad.

I didn't read the whole string, so this may have been posted already, but 'Resonance' is a podcast/anarchist audio distro. A bunch of anarchist books, zines etc read by comrades. Good for listening to whilst on the go or something. They've got a killer selection. Also The Dispossesed by the late...

I had a pretty easy time hitchhiking and there were a decent amount of illegal camping spots but as far as hustling money it seemed pretty rough. I was broke broke broke. Still it was fuckin beautiful and wine is really cheap.
