My name is Margaret Killjoy, AKA Magpie. I’m in my 20s somewhere. I’m an itinerant creator and activist, rarely spending more than a few months in one place at a time. Essentially, I’m a hobo. (a hobo travels and works, a tramp just travels.)

Politics

I’m an anarchist. Which is to say, I believe that society would be better organized without hierarchically imposed authority, whether through this thing called “the State” or through capitalism. Note that capitalism refers not to market economies, but a specific sort of market economy in which it’s possible to make your income by doing nothing (investing, property speculation, absentee landlordism, etc.).

There are a lot of little sub-sections of anarchist. I would say that I’m best described by post-civilized theory, which is a branch of green anarchism. But I’m also a “big tent” anarchist, which is to say I’m excited by pretty much all branches of anarchism and think we need to focus more on our similarities than our differences.

I’m also vegan, but hate self-righteous veganism. It’s a dietary choice. We all make compromises in this life.
