i want to do an activity this semester with my first year students in intro to political economy where i introduce them to the luddites, and simultaneously ask them to come up with their own A.I. policy.... any ideas for readings? videos? podcasts? to integrate into this

if you were teaching a course on gender and economics, with a big theme of care work, what film/movie would you show to your students?

This is a time for COMMUNITY care.

NYC! Join us for an archival workshop and discussion on the topic of 1970s "counter professional" networks, activism and publishing hosted at Interference Archive: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/archival-w...

Sasha Warren's book Storming Bedlam with @commonnotions.bsky.social has been crucial for helping me think critically about care and care work. check our their keynote "Demolition Psychiatry: Political Economy and the Fight for Social Recovery" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsE4...

"Love isn't about what we did yesterday; it's about what we do today and tomorrow and the day after.” Heading into the new year with #GraceLeeBoggs on the mind!

🌀Introduction🌀 Harms Committed is a news service and research tool to help journalists, academics, and activists access independent journalism on state violence. This thread explains what to expect and how it functions. 1/12 🧵

You can check out a piece we released in @inquest.bsky.social to get a sense of our methodology. We use participatory research as an entry point to bring incarcerated people into the abolitionist movement and engage in political education. inquest.org/why-incarcer...

I helped found @the-work-and-us.bsky.social in 2021. After a little hiatus, we are officially relaunching the project and are expanding our work to include an Incarcerated Research Fellowship. Because we believe that people inside are experts of their own experiences.

I would play a game based on this thread.

even in this age of AI, sometimes my students make exceptionally good projects and papers and it makes me tear up to know they are building those new capacities to understand the world in new ways 🥹

🌞 happy solstice 🌞 ❤️‍🔥 may the return of the sun spark riots everywhere ❤️‍🔥

im too sick to facilitate this but am still looking forward to this conversation! tonight!

i miss breathing through my nose 🤧

a sure sign that your bold new restructuring plan is all above board is how frequently and instantly highly secretive documents get leaked. apropos nothing in particular: here’s some planning documents for, idk, “UATX at The New School”(??) what we *do* have time, energy, and money for is…wild.

Thx friends @adamtooze.bsky.social, @astra.bsky.social, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social, @alybatt.bsky.social, @stefeich.bsky.social, @danielloick.bsky.social & others who signed condemning malicious cuts at The New School @newschoolaaup.bsky.social @aaup.org Join them! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I knew it was bad but didn't realize it was *40% of faculty* getting voluntary separation offers bad trying to find out if there's already alumni organizing happening, if anyone knows (I'm a New School econ PhD)

On this day in 1842, Peter Kropotkin was born. "British industry is the work of the British nation — nay, of Europe and India taken together — not of separate individuals."

Today, Andrew Anastasi and @benchansfield.bsky.social discuss the wave of landlord-perpetrated arson during the 1970s, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.

i love how quickly i suddenly respond to emails when im trying to grade

New analysis of the Turin Strike Papyrus—a detailed account from 1157 BCE—shows how artisans building the royal tombs at Deir el-Medina staged a coordinated walkout after going 18 days without grain rations. tinyurl.com/29822yb2 #ShareGoodNewsToo

did tates cookies significantly shrink or am i hallucinating?

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

Speaking as a private citizen on a matter of public concern, yes leadership is apparently planning to cut 50% of the faculty at the New School for Social Research in order to eliminate social research and replace scholarship with a trendy MA degree mill For the 21st Century 1/

extremely sad news that Asad Haider has passed away. i didn't know him personally but it'd be impossible to overstate how important his writing and editing in Viewpoint was to my trajectory. as I said last night, we are losing too many comrades.

primal screaming kind of morning

Joined Jack Edmunds-Bergin, Emma Rebekka Petersen, and Clark McAllister for a talk on workers' inquiry in Ireland, Germany, England, and the US in Dublin on Wednesday. Appreciate @catuireland.bsky.social and @notesfrombelow.bsky.social for putting out the word, Peader Browns pub for hosting!

donate to BBIU’s strike fund!

On Thursday, @bluebottle illegally fired Abbey Sadow in retaliation for her union organizing. Our members in the Chestnut Hill location conducted a march on the boss shortly after, demanding that the store manager, Jenny Harbold, reinstate Abbey before the end of the day yesterday.

@bbiunion.bsky.social Blue Bottle baristas just voted to authorize an unfair labor practice strike. The strike is coming...donate to the strike fund here (100% of funds will go to striking workers!): secure.actblue.com/donate/bbiun...

once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny

In 1889, schoolkids in Britain held a nationwide wave of school walkouts, taking to the streets to demand shorter hours, less homework, less corporal punishment and free education. We have now mapped lots of these & built a timeline on our Stories app: stories.workingclasshistory.com/tag/15377/18...

gentle reminder to myself that i can still go out and the store is still open after 4pm even though it’s dark outside
