Thurs. Jan. 4^th 6:30 pm Virtual Peace and Justice Book Discussion – On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. The U.S. was supposedly founded in 1776 in response to tyranny – but, today, our political order faces new threats. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism in the 20^th century. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. On Tyranny is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come. Hosted by the Madison’s International League of Peace and Freedom (WILPF). To receive Zoom login details, email: wilpfmadison@...

Sat. Jan. 20^th 10:00 am Prairie Cafe (3109 Pheasant Branch Rd. in Middleton) The Tender Recoding of the Cellular Motherboard – Transhumanist Reading Group. Hosted by Middleton Hills Trans Anarchist Collective (MhTAC). Our bodies and minds will transgress and rewire the very definitions of humanity and rediscover the intense cravings to connect and discover that the tepid token of domestic submission has hidden from us. We will be discussing Laboria Cuboniks's The Xenofeminist Manifesto and a journal called Anarcho-Transhumanism #3, and will be considering how the philosophy of transhumanism can be used to liberate us from all forms of hierarchy and allow us to discover unimaginable joys through the constructive tensions of our bodies and minds. What do you want to hack from and beyond humanity to make your own belonging? What would you do with your life in an anarchist biology? What do you want to unpick and press the very tender filaments of together as the worlds in your spirit awaken? You can read the XF manifesto here: and read a selection from Anarcho-Transhumanism #3 here: For more info on MhTAC visit:
