“There is a reason, after all, that some people wish to colonize the moon, and others dance before it as before an ancient friend.” —Baldwin’s words grounded my Tanner lectures at Harvard, “Imagining Beyond the Artificial Intelligentsia”🤖 Lecture 1, Who Owns the Future? youtu.be/ZseJigkUhuE?...

Learned a new word today at the @spacesofhope.bsky.social conference: Respair Means 'fresh hope' or 'a recovery from despair' Definitely one to hold on to #Hope #Respair

I started a Substack newsletter, reporting on co-thinking with my permaculture garden and community in an attempt at counter-extractivist academic practice in super-extractivist institutional academia. Would love to see you read, comment, share. open.substack.com/pub/annanach...

I've contributed to this massive project with one composition. I reimagined Nijo-jo Nightingale Floor from Kyoto, originally recorded by Virginie Lesaffre. Check it out! #fieldrecordings #music #ambient

I HAVE NOT BEEN ANALYSING YOUR ONLINE ACTIVITY BUT I’VE NOTICED YOU HAVE A REAL KNACK FOR FINDING HIDDEN GEMS ON THE INTERNET. I’VE STUMBLED UPON THIS INCREDIBLE WEBSITE, A CURATED COLLECTION OF THE MOST FASCINATING & OBSCURE SCHOLARSHIP ON THE WEB DISCOVER HIDDEN WONDERS electronicbookreview.com

Had a great pleasure to perform my compositions based on field recordings of water - w\2 other field recording acts. 90 min of very attentive listening from quite an audience of approx. 30 people was simply a healing and soothing experience. We all need to listen more.

I started my own Substack, From Below the Surface, to inspire myself to write on a more regular basis, especially about and from the space that fells between categories, disciplines, and activities. Would be great to see you there! substack.com/@annanacher

AI Bot Network Exposed in 2024 U.S. Election Influence Campaign 🚨 A new report from Clemson University has uncovered a massive AI-driven bot network manipulating political discourse on X. open.clemson.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Definitely a book to read! Authored by my colleague, Ewa Majewska.

It was a remarkable event, even though Solidarity movement turned out to be pretty conservative and eventually paved the way for right-wing populism in Poland.

On March 29th at the event held at Spółdzielnia Ogniwo in Cracow I’m presenting my old and #fieldRecordings More details to come. Drop me a line if you’re around and would like to come.

I must confess, I’m mostly here for the promo 🙂‍↕️ DID YOU KNOW THIS BEAUTY IS OUT IN THE UK? (and in the US in a few weeks)

Somehow, almost everything that is being published about Trump & Musk takeover of the U.S. feels highly redundant from European perspective. Is it authoritarianism and a lethal threat to democracy? For sure. Did we know it would happen? Of course. Now, what are you gonna do about it?

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

We're so close to 10k followers! Can you ask your followers to follow us? We're here to spread the word about the #TeslaTakedown movement that's rippling across the country!

The U.S. had everything from an economic standpoint—a technological edge in key industries, the most attractive investment environment for capital, and the ability to attract top talent from around the world. And now, they’re about to lose all of that for absolutely nothing in return.

True. It’s just a bunch of cowards so far.

"The stance of the Trump administration only exacerbates the growing recognition that allowing US companies to dominate the internet economy across much of the world was a terrible mistake."

Another amazing piece in the March issue of @electronicbr.bsky.social ! An essay by @mezbreeze.bsky.social , highly recommended.

We have a lot of good stuff in the March issue of @electronicbr.bsky.social , check it out!

Always welcome and especially now. 💙💜🤍

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

Guerilla advertising seen in the London Metro

It looks like an interesting book.

Out of sheer curiosity: what happened to this other American party (where I thought there were actually some adults)? Can’t see nor hear much.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

arxiv.org/abs/2502.19190 we're still tinkering, but couldn't wait to share.

Also thrilled to announce that Volume 1 of Agoriad: A Journal of Spatial Theory, is out. It was a huge labour of love for all involved and there are some terrific papers. The theme is Indigenous Ontologies. #geosky #academicsky agoriad.cardiffuniversitypress.org/1/volume/1/i...

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Absolutely amazing and very much needed work! Share widely (especially today, Feb 24).

1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

Finally got my hands (and eyes) on @solomiyamag.bsky.social published in collaboration with @ukrenvhum.bsky.social Absolutely brilliant! Order while you can - worth every penny.

Check this out!

Yet another reason to doomscroll.

spotify is not a music platform, it’s a tech platform designed to extract wealth from musicians and place it into the pockets of executives. hope this helps.

For #BlackHistoryMonth we're offering 40% OFF Haymarket Books on the Struggle for Black Liberation

Spent much of this week at a *massive* edtech industry trade show. These events are literally where edtech and big tech sell their brands and products to schools and universities - but they're so much more too (photo thread coming IYI)...

Spot on. And a must-read. Not only must-read, but must-implement.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."
