To the FBI Agent Monitoring My Search History,
Here. I made your job easier.
Centralia, PA - A former Wobbly town, now mostly a ghost town. Site of the Centralia Massacre and the Anthracite Coal Fire that has been burning underground since the sixties. Has a place called "Odd Fellows Cemetery," a smoking church, and Graffiti Highway. Some say the ghosts of old Wobblies still haunt Centralia. My cousin and I obtained a chair from here with "Centralia Borough" stamped on it... but the cops stole my Centralia Chair (and my bullhorn, and my Army surplus sleeping roll) in Philly at Occupy ICE. I hope they catch Tetanus from the rust. Watch out for sinkholes. Good place for Urban Exploration.
Citations Needed - My favorite podcast. A critical take on the News, especially political bias in news media.
CrimethInc - Has good resources for learning electronic security practices. Highly recommended.
The Electric Factory - Not the original Electric Factory (I'm not that old), but still a good place to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia - Needs no explanation, but explains my sense of humor.
The Fraternal Order of Police - Know Thine Enemy. But also, contrary to what their website claims, they are- and must put this in bold in case it doesn't sink- not a labor union. To put this in context, I don't like Teamsters much, but they are actually a union. The FOP is a fraternity with a bargaining contract. This website contains pork and is not suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or members of certain religious sects.
Jim Strong Art - Jim Strong is a good, dear friend and visionary artist and musicworker whose mere presence on Earth delights me. Please frequent his site and behold his works!
LibCom.Org - An online library of anarchist, socialist and liberationist material.
NSK State - Neue Slowenische Kunst, The First Global State of the Universe! A micronation/art collective that includes my favorite mock-authoritarian band, Laibach. Warning: Poe's Law works in reverse here.
Philadelphia Folk Festival - A wonderful music and cultural festival held on the third weekend of every August. I sometimes volunteer here. I do security. No shit.
Philadelphia IWW - The website for the Philadelphia General Membership Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World. 'Nuff said. Also Twitter. (Do people still use Twitter?)
The Philadelphia Science Fiction Society - An excellent local science fiction organization, that could use a more updated website.
Planned Parenthood - an organization that does a lot of good, despite the eugenicist leanings of its founder, Margaret Sanger (eugenics was pretty mainstream in her time, it wasn't mostly associated with the Far Right back then, because, you know, Nazis weren't a thing in 1921, like they are in 2020).
Raddle - Seems to be a radical alternative to Reddit. Check it out!
Reading Viaduct - A very cool elevated park. Before it was a park, it was an abandoned section of train rail with an abandoned power station. My cousin and I used to sneak in here to do Urban Exploring. I still have a Danger High Voltage sign we snagged from here. It sits next to my coffee machine.
RedCard - This is where you can join the IWW. Please note, the IWW is not an "anarchist" or "socialist" organization. It is a a labor union. Think of it as a gateway drug, if it helps.
SovLit.Net - An archive of (mostly poorly written or possibly badly translated summaries of) utopian Soviet Literature. Contains much sci-fi. I had to look up a few of these authors to determine if this was an example of Poe's Law. A story on here inspired "The Informant."
TV Tropes - Excellent Resource for writers, but can be addictive.
Union Transfer - Nothing to do with organized labor! Fooled ya, didn't I? This is another concert venue I like. I saw the "Mr. Lahey and Randy Show" (of Trailer Park Boys fame) here, before John Dunsworth's untimely death.
Xenu TV - the YouTube channel of Mark Bunker AKA "Wise Beard Man," a prominent critic of a certain pseudo-religious authoritarian cult. Mark is doing Xenu's work. If you're interested in cultic studies, but don't have the time or the inclination to go to school for it or do fieldwork, this is a good place to start.
