Estelle Ellison

Estelle Ellison, known as "abolishtime" on Instagram, is a remarkable creator who is dedicated to creating Anarcho Black Futurism In Practice. With a passion for sharing valuable resources, Estelle has been posting written content on their IG account for over three years, offering guidance and insights for individuals to utilize in their interpersonal and political networks. What sets Estelle's work apart is their commitment not to duplicate existing resources but rather seek feedback and lessons from respected individuals engaged in meaningful work. Estelle's project, Abolish Time, serves as a platform to challenge the pervasive surveillance culture that often stifles our ability to critically observe and voice our doubts about society. By posting incendiary material on a public account, Estelle enables readers to engage with thought-provoking content outside the watchful eyes of authority figures. This dedication has allowed them to expand their political knowledge beyond the Bay Area, where their journey began. Through their Patreon page, Estelle continues to provide cultural services by sharing critiques that surveillance strategies aim to silence. While carefully anonymizing their writing to protect sensitive information, Estelle's work maintains its usefulness in relevant situations. Their deliberate choice of language and writing style may spark disagreement among white liberals and conservatives, but it serves as a gatekeeping strategy to foster critical thinking and provoke discussions. Estelle's dedication shines through in the creation of their zine titled "Discerning Power In A Cultural War." With the support of patrons, they spent a year crafting this powerful 60-page publication that showcases their growth as a writer and designer. Brown Recluse Zine Distro has played an essential role in printing and distributing not only Estelle's zines but also those created by Black and Indigenous creators and zinesters of color. As a solo project runner, Estelle acknowledges the emotional challenges they face in this endeavor. They emphasize the importance of compassion during moments when they are unable to produce content, highlighting the impact of patrons' support on their healing journey as a Black trans disabled person.
