“I have watched over and over again when women in our movements, especially women of color — especially Black women — start to become decision makers, history definers, and narrative creators we question whether they should have power.”

Random: one of my greatest joys is seeing my friends wear clothes that I gave to them. Especially when it came from my closet 🥰

Still

The playlist @operaqueenie.social sent me has Turn My Swag On by Soulja Boy. I'm trying not to be mad that it still hits. 😒

“No single organization, no single funder, no single genius is going to fix what’s broken in tech. This is collective work. It requires the wisdom of many. Old systems are dying. New ones are being born. And we get to decide what comes next.” open.substack.com/pub/thetechw...

I want to see more radical creativity in service of collective thriving. More imagination for an equitable, inclusive future that isn’t just about what other people are doing to us, but makes us the heroes of our own story and pushes us into untold possibility. We have to get better at this.

I want to reiterate my deeply held belief. One of the biggest mistakes we are making with this tech is anthropomorphizing it and treating it like it is actually "reasoning". It's not doing that. And it cannot be held accountable. It's a machine.

make art! if it's the end of the world, you might as well make art! if it's not the end of the world, then the future will be better because people made art right now!

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking about how fast things changed for all Latiné people in LA. And what I’ve personally done to protect myself and my family. I thought it might be helpful for some of you so thought I’d share. 🧵

Whew. Shit.

Day 1 of Summer Break: tiny kitchen fire Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for the rest of the days 😅🫠

So, as I said, I’ve thinking about how we design markets and experiment with something different. My hope is for new markets ruled by a different set of values which *minimize harm and maximize collective good.* I believe this is what we want to exist after capitalism. bsky.app/profile/oper...

😅 It hurts so bad everywhere in the beginning but bodies are insanely adaptable. Over time, the hurt comes to be a signal that you’re making progress. True story: I fucking hate working out. But my body rewards me for it greatly 🔥 Now it feels weird when I go too long without exercise.

When folks think of organizations with a democratic ethos, they often picture an organization run through consensus. In reality, the experience of democracy in an organization has three qualities:

This thread is on point. Even though :::waves arms::: ALL OF THIS is happening in areas we cannot directly control, it’s a great time for each of us to get clear on power structures in the organizations, communities, and groups we’re part of and practice democracy with intention.

We are at the beginning of a massive labor movement. IT IS A NEGOTIATION. And it’s not just what the leaders of unions and corporations do, it’s also what each of us do every day — what we say, what we buy, what we pay attention to, what we show up for… A new model for reciprocity is being born.

Every life goal should be coupled with the habits/routine/lifestyle you must adopt to make it real. You are what you do.

Discussing this with the showrunner of “Foundation” was a highlight of the month ✨

I would call it “governance” vs politics, but I agree with the idea that over time, a system of decision making also emerges within the group. 💯

It's time to bring back the commons. When we enclose and privatize everything, we incentivize the values and norms of extraction and oppression. Markets that rely on bartering and common use/ownership incentivize values and norms for collaboration, cooperation and community

When you put humans together for an extended amount of time, two things naturally rise: culture and markets. Culture because the mix of people will share some mixture of experiences, beliefs, ideas that eventually give rise to what’s encouraged / acceptable and what’s discouraged / unacceptable.

I’m so ready to buy one

“We don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.” - Howard Zinn

There are many challenges to overcome within our own communities. Friction embedded in pursuits of “fairness” is one major factor.

Keeps us from getting ripped off, yes. Also prevents us from getting killed by the food and products we consume. I especially appreciate that part.
