SUMMARY:Discussion Group - Accountability and Abolition
DESCRIPTION:There is no reading group this month\, as it would fall to close to Christmas. However\, people involved in the reading group wanted to further discuss some of the topics that came up from our reading of What About the Rapists and Abolitionist Voices. So\, we will be running a special discussion meeting on what accountability means in radical spaces and movements\, and how this fits into the anarchist stance of prison abolition. This may be a one off meeting\, or the first of many\, depending on what those involved want to do. \nWhile there is no expected reading for this discussion group\, some of the people involved have suggested reading We Will Not Cancel Us by Adrienne Maree Brown as a shared point of reference for the discussion.\nJoin us on Monday the 15th of December at 7pm on the top floor space of the London Action Resource Centre (LARC)\, 62 Fieldgate Street\, Whitechapel\, E1 1ES. Please bring a donation for the space if you can\, as LARC is run entirely off of the the donations of its users.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: JAW FILLER: Maz Murray & Charlie Markbreiter in conversation with So Mayer
DESCRIPTION:Experimental trans neonoir fiction. \n‘Jaw Filler instantly joins the canon of outlier literature: jaw-dropper\, more like.’ \n– Isabel Waidner\, author of Sterling Karat Gold \nHousmans and Montez Press invites you to a conversation around the new neonoir novel Jaw Filler by Maz Murray & Charlie Markbreiter\, hosted by writer So Mayer. Tickets are free but booking is essential. \n‘You don’t need dysphoria to be trans. You don’t need a body at all.’ \nWhen Detective Sean Hastings is asked to investigate the disappearance of Character\, he enters the First Trans Commune in Sim World\, a virtual reality cult community imagineered by transfluencer Kevin\, and bankrolled by a mysterious tech company\, VSI. \nHaunted by the death of his cis gayguy college bestie and their shared diasporic dilemmas\, Taylor\, VSI’s token QTPOC face\, sees potential in Kevin’s ability to Release trauma into the virtual world. Meanwhile\, Casey\, Sean’s ex\, hopes Releasing will cure their Long Plague. Then femme fatale Mitchelle reappears. And the plot twists. \nA pulpy neo-noir romp through the anxiously assimilated transmasculine id\, Jaw Filler asks: who is VSI\, and what do they really want? Can you be your own dad? And if Character’s mind is trapped in Sim World\, then where is his body? \nPRAISE FOR JAW FILLER \n‘It’s like The Sluts meets Double Indemnity but everyone is trans. I had an absolute blast.’ \n– Macy Rodman \n‘With Jaw Filler\, Charlie Markbreiter and Maz Murray offer a searing\, noir-flavored lens into the world of terminally online guys and our insecurities\, fantasies\, and wild imaginations of ourselves and each other. I will be discussing this in therapy and billing Charlie and Maz for the expense.’ \n– James Tom \n‘There’s something faintly Brazil about Jaw Filler: wilful and breakneck\, self-aware yet never cynical\, paranoiac but always coyly – unarguably – plausible. Calling it a pastiche would be stupid. To do so would overlook not only the ravenous delight Jaw Filler takes in the melange of its genre conventions\, but also\, more importantly\, its surgical commitment to grounding a narrative in what I can only succinctly describe as genocide-reality. Murray & Markbreiter have achieved the extremely contemporary and impossible to falsify: true camp darkness.’ \n– Hesse K.\, author of Disquiet Drive \nOUR SPEAKERS \nMaz Murray is an artist who makes films\, writing\, performances and things. They had their first institutional solo show at Focal Point Gallery in 2024. He’s currently working on a collaborative performance\, PLOT HOLE\, developed while an awardee at Studio Voltaire. \nCharlie Markbreiter is the author of Rapid Onset: Anti-Trans Culture and U.S. Imperial Decline (Bloomsbury\, 2027) and Gossip Girl Fanfic Novella (2022). He is a PhD candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center. \nSo Mayer is a writer\, editor\, bookseller\, organiser and film curator. Their most recent book is Bad Language (Peninsula Press\, 2025)\, a memoir and manifesto on language and power. \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT. TICKETS CAN BE BOOKED HERE:\nhttps://www.outsavvy.com/event/31891/jaw-filler-in-conversation-maz-murr…

SUMMARY:Practical Squatters Evening @ a local squat!
DESCRIPTION:By squatters for squatters! Join us for evenings of practical squatting knowledge\, skillshares\, and meeting squatters new and old. Whether you’re looking to join a crew\, looking for more people to join your crew\, or just coming along to skill up\, we hope that Practical Squatters Evenings can provide something for everyone\, and bring together people in the squat scene in London. _________________________________ \nAfter a recent meeting\, the Practical Squatters Network has decided on some changes to make the network and monthly sessions more useful to people looking to know more about squatting or to share and improve their skills in many of the aspects of squatting life. The Practical Squatters Network has been operating for countless years running regular sessions to introduce people to squatting\, and to help those already squatting to meet others and share skills. The frequency of meetups along with the content has changed over years according to the changing landscape of squatting in the UK\, but currently runs once a month on the 3rd Monday. It fluctuates between being hosted at Decentre\, above Freedom Bookshop\, and on alternate months in a local squat. Going forward all Practical Squatters Evenings will take place in a local squat\, only using Decentre or other anarchist social centres as backup venues in the case a squat falls through for whatever reason. They will continue to run regularly on the 3rd Monday of the month. Each session will also take a particular focus on a topic or skillshare\, to make sessions of more use to people who have already attended previously and heard the usual introductory speil. There will still be fair focus given to anyone who is new and ensure they are not left behind with questions about the basics of squatting.       \n
