Voilà. The new book includes Oscar Wilde’s complete The Soul of Man under Socialism alongside my own philosophical writings in conversation with one of the great writings on Individualism…
Recent prosecutions associated with Prairieland and similar cases did not rest upon the discovery of hidden command structures, secret directives, or an underground organization issuing orders from behind the scenes. Prosecutors assembled communications, publications, transportation records, political affiliations, support networks, organizational practices, and ongoing associations between individuals. Signal chats appeared in the record. Vetting procedures appeared in the record. Public events, articles, zines, fundraising efforts, support infrastructure, and statements concerning political activity appeared in the record. Material familiar to nearly anyone active within contemporary anarchist circles entered the courtroom and acquired an entirely different meaning.

Some frequencies never announce themselves, yet bend the air around everything they touch… currents without station, without signal, only a saturation of presence. The Hum, as it’s named in the new issue, is not metaphor, not mood, nor is it theory draped in allure. It is the low, persistent resonance that precedes language, slips beneath thought, et threads itself through lives that will not be explained.

Bonsoir, amis. Our next issue, « The Great Féminine Refusal: Neither Sister Nor Servant », is complete—printed once again on handmade paper, looking very pretty.
Bonjour, amis. Apologies for the lack of updates in this space—je suis occupée! Been translating like crazy, finishing my book, getting our private press off the ground (new presses et vintage machines, yay!), and building a site, alongside all the printing and mailing. (Whew! I’m not sure what happened, but we’ve gained a wave of lovely new correspondents and subscribers.
Mon cher monde sauvage,
The whirlwind of ink, thoughts, et ferocious wildness pouring into the P.O. box these past two months has been an absolute délice. Each time it is unlocked, there’s a flood of anarchists et wild things—sending their stories, zines, sketches, photographs, their books, their amour fou. Tokens of love and madness. Physical proof that connection au-delà du cybernétique is alive, thriving, et perhaps louder than ever.
Bonsoir, lovelies. Yesterday, on Max Stirner’s birthday, we finished printing the first round of Distinctively Dionysian’s Halloween issue. Inside the spooker edition, you will find mischief, mayhem, the macabre, Mallarmé, German Expressionist Cinema et Theatre, and a riot of Cabaret magic, with new writings, anarchic troublemaking, and more.
This Introduction to Otto Gross is a companion zine to the “Persona Non-Grata” and “Resurrecting Legacy” columns in Distinctively Dionysian. In this issue, we uncover Gross’s intellectual legacy and explore the tragedy of his erasure from history.
