STATEMENT: Eggcountability and Moving Forward, Together

May 01, 02026

Good morning. Unfortunately, we do not have a Field Report to share with you this week. We must instead acknowledge an incident that occured during the Field Office Team’s visit to Chicago, IL. We look forward to getting back to our regular reporting schedule next week.

In the meantime, catch up on Field Reports and other Mission Assets by referencing the Mission’s Site Index.

We do hope members of the public can act in solidarity with workers engaging in collective action today. Visit your local radical bookstore, attend a rally, throw sand in the gears of capitalism.

As some members of the public have brought to our attention, Egg (Administrative Assistant for Mission Kaiju_Love_Care_Futures_02026) posted an insensitive picture of a troubling breakfast while out in the field in Chicago, IL. Since this incident, the team has been facing some internal tumult as we try to navigate this moment in a way that is aligned with our values. Because we believe in the power of the archive and in accountability, we will not be deleting Egg’s posts.

How we got here

Members of the public can view the original post here, but viewer discretion is advised. (Content Warning: cannibalism).

Members of the public called for accountability:

Unfortunately, Egg did not respond. Rather, Egg carried on posting as though nothing happened. The public continued to push for accountability.

We asked Egg to acknowledge this incident, but instead of engaging in an accountability process, they turned to Instagram stories.

The post on the right is not an apology, however, we do believe that (with compassionate accountability) Egg will come around.

What’s next:

Since we do not believe that punishment is accountability, we have no plans to replace Egg as Administrative Assistant. We do not wish to replicate punitive carceral systems within our own mission. That said, we do need to see a change in behavior to move forward with confidence.

We are seeking a Kaiju-informed mediator to help us through this moment. Please email thegodzillapapers@gmail.com with any recommendations.

We ask members of the public for their patience—being in relationship (especially in public) can be messy, and we hope you can extend Egg and the Mission compassion and patience as we work through this moment.

We will provide updates as we have them.

In the meantime,
