We’re back! That was a long pause. Well, those of you on Discord know it hasn’t been total stoppage — the space still opened from week to week, albeit on a more informal tempo, though as our availability was reeled in, months have inadvertently passed without much news on here.
What happened was that one of us had a medical emergency, which forced some unexpected and dramatic life adjustments, and also put the brakes on how we’ve done things — to rethink how to continue. We’ve always tried to foreground disability given how a lot of us contend with illness, madness, and an uncaring capitalist world, but this still hit hard.

Last year, with the launch of Mynah Magazine's fourth and final issue, it seemed a good time to begin stocking select titles for sale at the infoshop. It ended up taking half a year to pick and order a few other books as well as make changes to the space. You can read more about this in an email and Patreon update sent last week to friends, visitors, and supporters. Part of it accounts for those few months of online inactivity as the bulk of this work happened, unseen and entangled in demoralisation, while other portions sketch out plans, threads, hopes, and challenges for the project.
We purchased a few copies with the combined intentions of supporting Mynah, exploring more varied encounters through the infoshop, and creating additional ways of sustaining it. Having also been added to our library, this cosy little space is likely now one of the few places where you could find and read all four issues.

something incomplete,
something stretch-
ing out, staking time,
space, and desire
to feel and fill out,
becoming…(in / as
loose assemblies)something
ungovernable,
perhaps evoking,
approaching, those
hows and whats in:
commoning,
communing,
communicating,
communising…Against isolation, let’s gather!
