[Go Make Things] Dirt in a Cog

​ Dirt in a Cog is a new zine from the folks at Invisible History. Dirt in a cog refers to the way machinery cogs (gears) will slow, jam up, go crooked, and otherwise not work right if they're dirty. It may not totally shut down the machine, but it will make it a hell of a lot harder to run. That's what this zine is. Of course protests, community organizing, and large acts of resistance are critical to fight against fascist and authoritarian regimes. This is not a way to avoid that. We must engage in those. BUT there are also ways we can resist in our everyday lives. We can be dirt in the cog. This zine provides some practical ways you can push back and help create a better world for us all in your day-to-day life. Some of my favorites on the list include… Prioritize accessibility Know and check on your neighbors Contribute to mutual aid Push back on the Overton Window Reject AI The best place to grab your copy is from the Invisible History website. I've also saved my own local backup just-in-case. Share this thing far and wide! Like this? A Go Make Things membership is the best way to support my work and help me create more free content.
