Welcome to Anarchy.Website, a blog and archive created by Una Ada. Herein lies articles on a variety of topics, ranging from linguistics to history, from gender issues to anime, and from programming to physics. Despite the name this site is not exclusively about anarchism, but the content here is primarily written through the lens of anarchy.
Perhaps I need to emphasize that this is a procrastination report, essentially a blog about what I’ve been doing instead of writing, not just a series of reviews. I just happen to read a lot, so it includes a lot of reviews. Secrets of the Silent Witch (サイレント・ウィッチ 沈黙の魔女の隠しごと) is...#anime

In this case, it’s not entirely that I wasn’t working on anything, I just wasn’t writing anything that could be published, okay? I was working on the map for my fantasy world! Last time, I made a joke about the rarity of officially translated gender-bender series. This is something I’m...#anime

The other night, I had a dream that I had finished my next etymology article; when I awoke, there was nothing but an outline and a bibliography. This was greatly demotivating. Once Upon a Witch’s Death (ある魔女が死ぬまで) is a modern fantasy slice-of-life drama anime about Meg Raspberry, an apprentice to...#anime

It’s not that I’m not trying to write an actual article, using the idea of publishing these reports as an excuse to procrastinate even further because I will still write something anyway. No, it’s just that research is hard, way too hard. Every time I try to get back into...#blog

I promise that I was really serious about actually publishing weekly articles for the Etymology and Onomastics series, I just got depressed and distracted. To make up for it, I’ve decided that, in any case where I do not have an article ready for publication, I will instead write up...#anime

The production and distribution of goods and services has always been a global phenomenon. It would in fact be quite hard to argue to the contrary. From long range networks of exchange spanning continents to human migration and travel including traversing oceans from thousands of years, “globalization” seems almost like...#economics
Poorly researched claims about the history of the family but I will not be taking criticism at this time, please direct all complaints to @unaxiii_ on twitter dot com. A response to Melinda Cooper’s Family Values (2017), heavily relying on the history of patriarchal property relations from Debt: The First...#economics
I was aiming for something a bit lighter with this one, so it's more "Fun Facts with Una" and less ripping my hair out reading 18th century alchemy essays.

The harder an excerpt was to transcribe the more likely I am to keep it, is this sunk-cost? No, I'm just assisting in legibility of historic documents! Look me in the eyes and tell me you could read Norwegian in Fraktur!

This short essay was written as a reading response for a class to chapter 3 of Plotkin and Scheuerman’s book Private Interest, Public Spending (1994). Reading that chapter is not necessary for understanding this but encouraged. In their chapter on Balanced-Budget Conservatism, Plotkin and Scheuerman outline 3 major principles that...#economics
