From Creeker Zine Via It's Going Down

Announcing new issues of Creeker and The Creeker Companion, which details the ongoing struggle against logging and the Ada’itx/Fairy Creek blockade.

Creeker is a grassroots, anti-authoritarian zine series that aims to bring depth, variety, critique and continuity to the ongoing process of reflecting on the Ada’itsx/Fairy Creek blockade and related efforts. It’s intended for creekers themselves, land defenders elsewhere, and the land defenders yet to come. The newest offering in the series includes contributions of art, analysis, photography, history, personal reflection and poetry that were anonymously sourced from participants at the blockade. The writing features eloquent and hard-hitting pieces that explore the dynamics of autonomous forest defense in conflict with recuperative tendencies at Fairy Creek, and histories of radical, uncontrollable resistance in the nearby Kax:iks/Walbran and Elaho Valleys.

The Creeker Companion zines are curated to complement the Creeker zines with material that’s relevant to Ada’itsx and similar movements, but much broader in scope. Creeker Companion Vol 2 samples various sources and includes essays, poetry and communiques touching on movement history, state repression, vigilantes, and much more. A thoughtful, playful, boldly insurrectionary vibe throughout the zine joins a diversity of material together in refreshingly unexpected ways.

Insurrectos always talking about needing to leave behind dead tropes and tired dogmas....you could've told me these zines were made in 1999 and I wouldn't have given it a second thought lol.

every wagon needs wheels, shoes go on your feet, new people need to be deprogrammed...
doesn't matter which decade you're in

Thou doth protest insurrecto protests too much. A waste of time indeed.

You're missing out of the deliciousness and pure joy of forest resistance. The insurrectos know this joy but will never. Just saying...

I've hiked in forests and lived for years in wildernesses which I totally adore, and I know of the "deliciousness" of Nature, however *sighs*,,,,,deserts are the future unfortunately, and only after a severe reduction in global population shall forests regenerate. My protestation is an internal experience for me and involves a minimalist consumption ethos. Just being logically real,,,,,

for some of us, forest defense ('protest' i suppose is some small aspect of a much bigger picture) is where we find joy, meaning, beauty , friends, connection and creativity. for us, it is about being present and alive in this moment of time on earth regardless of what the next 20 years holds and acting in accordance with our values and ideals. for us, it is not a waste of time but an absolute affirmation of life and resistance, of learning and sharing, of love and anarchy.

That's a shallow fix of temporary distraction from the horrors of modern life, which is sorta ok, I like creative spontaneity and amor fati, an appreciation for the dark and dire future awaiting us. Bravo, and after the party when you are alone, weep then with tears of mortal joy!,,,

Sheesh, what is anon19:46's problem? Anyway, just to remind you that yes, I share your aesthetics, but lack your optimism, which is my problem, not yours. Cheers.
