  Error.tpg* is a queer collective from Marseille organizing parties by queer people for queer people : LGBTQIA, QPOC, sex workers. To them, partying is political, because our queer bodies, music and lifestyles are political. These posters, stuck on the walls of their last party in October 2021 and posted on their social media, are a way to reassert it.

  Translation of the text in the comic: 1973. German drug tourists had discovered heroin in Amsterdam. Some thought that everything was possible here. In a squat in the Keizersstraat, 10 o' clock in the evening... "Maybe that German guy will come over for a few grams." At 2 a.m.... the doorbell was broken. "He da oben! Hier ist der Gustav. Habt ihr noch H?" "Fck. There you will have it." "Shit! Shit! The fool. I had told him to be a bit careful and especially not to scream like that anymore! Fck my dope!" In opposition to the metro plans, many demolition buildings in the Nieuwmarktbuurt had been squatted. (Junkies weren’t really popular in the squatting movement). By the way; most junkies were also quite fond of piece and quiet….

• Contested Space: Syringes in a Community Garden

  by Sage Anderson

  Set in the seasons leading up to 2020, this story takes place in a public community garden in Bonn, Germany, in a small lot surrounded by low-rise apartment buildings, in a quiet part of town not far from the Rhine. There was once a playground on this site, but it fell into disrepair and disuse. Increasingly overgrown with plant life – and thus shielded from street view – the abandoned playground was subsequently used primarily by people consuming drugs and alcohol.

Illegal drugs also generate large profits and at the same time they keep the non-integrated parts of the population quiet. The latter not so much because of the consumption itself but because of the criminalisation that keeps the users on their toes and puts politically active people behind prison bars.

  In its announcement, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Platzspitz points out that Zurich has a "pull" on the rest of Switzerland and nearby countries not because of the distribution of meals or because of the " Filterli tables" (tables where injecting paraphernalia was exchanged for the residual heroin left in the filters) on the Platzspitz, but because of being a financial/economic and cultural centre. The narcotics officers should therefore be active in the banking district rather than on the Platzspitz.
