We're working with urgency to change things. Normal was the problem; we will not go back. DMs open; let's coordinate.
What are you working on? How can we support? #strongertogether #dontgobacktonormal

The Red Victorian relaunches as the Experimental Hotel <3
Just what is the experimental hotel..? We envision a space where we come to learn about ourselves, change ourselves and explore our sociality. The Red Victorian is a platform for this. #experimentaldinners #experimentalhotel #roguescience #criticaltheory #interdisciplinary

From the intro of Ursula Le Guin's version of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way.

In short, it was a bad idea to make one of the pillars of democracy an almost entirely capitalistic enterprise dependent on advertising revenues. Yes it was was short-sighted. But the consequences affect everyone, not just this industry.

Rereading the Outer Space Treaty with @wsm1. It really might be the most staggeringly radical piece of int'l law ever: Basically the ENTIRETY of outer space "shall be used for peaceful purposes" and "the province of all mankind." unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/s… 🚀

"So even these kind of failed Utopian visions, the failure to imagine something that’s really different also succeeds, because they function as critical tools." - Kathi Weeks via @zarinahagnew
Love these audio-text essays - "Why We Still Need #Utopianism (w/ Kathi Weeks) summary - whilst the demand for #UBI is a #reformist not revolutionary demand, it serves a directional purpose, shifting the overton window (range of socially tolerable ideas)

Experimental and observational research suggests that as we consider who to cooperate with, we care more about how how fair someone is than how successful/how much wealth they have

Listening to Infinite Monkey Cage (podcast) while I pack, and a panelist mentions @zarinahagnew running up to people at the UK beatboxing championships asking if they (singular) can scan people's brains. Ha. So proud of them. 💘you Z
We are raising funds for an embassy house for our formerly incarcerated community - an autonomously run space for collective empowerment, so they are not forced to only re-enter an existing society, but have a space & means to reshape it.#givingtuesday
