Wer sich über die Emissionen der 1% aufregt und danach für ne Woche nach Mallorca fliegt verhält sich gegenüber den mindestens 80% der Weltbevölkerung, die noch nie geflogen sind, nicht anders als die 1% Person im Vergleich zu ihn*ihr selbst, oder?

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect of New York City and the movements that organized to make this moment possible.

How can we go from a more or less diffuse sense of being affected, of ‘feeling it’, in these times of crisis and conflict, to concrete forms of literacy, mutualism, and infrastructure? berlinergazette.de/a-politics-o... @manuelaz.bsky.social @commonecologies.bsky.social

My latest on the occasion of the Common Ecologies gathering

DATA VAMPIRES is a four-part series digging into the costs of hyperscale data centers and why tech billionaires are so desperate to build more. In Part 1, we explore where “the cloud” came from and how it expands the power of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/241_...

Just when you think you've heard of the most horrible and it can't be much worse.. www.aljazeera.com/features/202... We must keep mobilising, now more than ever, for accountability and justice of this insane genocide and long ongoing ethnic cleansing

She called out world leaders for sitting by and watching a live-streamed genocide without taking action.

Boycott Israel forever

We need such tribunals in all our countries. In the German speaking world this will be striking and urgent. Important groundwork for international justice thegazatribunal.uk The recordings here are well worth a watch

Love, strength and respect to the good people #FreePalestine #SupportPalestineAction

It's always urgent and hardcore to read this, but to read it right now is just wild. Must read for all of us who haven't done enough homework on Zionism. #FreePalestine

“When a student falls unconscious, we just assume they have not eaten for two days. And we move on.” Eman Basher spoke to Dr. Izzedin Shahin, who works while starving, stitching wounds that won’t heal for lack of protein. Read More: www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

Check this out - programme in progress and looking more exciting every time - can't wait for these conversations and what comes from there

Common Ecologies Autumn Gathering: THE POLITICS OF AFFECTEDNESS 24-26 October, Barcelona Please share widely! 🔥

This is what we're cooking up for the autumn. We want to talk about socioeconomic, psychosomatech and geopolitical affectedness - and how we may organise around them ecologically, in these times. Ally, liaise, join, learn, align and unalign. Programme coming in July

Next week we've got a conversation scheduled with the legendary @fuhem.bsky.social, Madrid-based folks who have a longstanding & amazing track record doing ecosocial justice education. Major inspiration. We got ENG-ES translation for this: join us to get to know work and analysis little known in EN.

Starting in an hour in Vienna as well as online - a golden opportunity to get a thorough update and deep analysis from amazing activists, including firsthand pictures and stories of newest developments... Join us for inspiration on how to fight extractivism in transversal + ecosocial ways :)

If you haven't been following the anti-extractivist uprising in Serbia here's a chance! Join us on this Saturday at 17.00CET for our Open Classroom discussion of the powerful Serbian protests - online or in person in Vienna. commonecologies.net/events/open-...

Saturday!

Very useful text on AI in Education - thanks to @berlinergazette.bsky.social - and one of many pieces of reflection we'll need to come up with, to formulate a new technopolitics to face the becoming wrecked/fascist/homogeneous of our worlds.. berlinergazette.de/rethinking-e...

We need a new technopolitics and it's going to have to involve boycotting and resisting AI www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Dear Schland, am Montag geb ich in Koblenz einen Workshop zu "Countermapping care and collectivity: macro, micro und co." am Methodenfestival der @hfgg.bsky.social. Es geht drum, sozial-ökologische Reproduktion und Beziehungsgeflechte situiert anders zu denken. 2 Plätze frei! hfgg.de/events/event...

Extra listening to go with our episode on the Politics of Tech! Check out this intro to the #Luddite movement: how textile workers resisted the automation of labour and factory regimes, grew into a powerful mass movement, and why that's ever so relevant open.spotify.com/episode/2eGF... by @99pi.org

Whatever the exact amount of energy AI search uses compared to conventional browser search, it's definitely huge, and it's very likely not worth it. Meaning: not worth the planetary destruction for sure, not even worth the human effort supposedly saved in the everyday.

We've excited to present our brand new website, where you can find lots of amazing tools for struggle, podcasts, future events and more! commonecologies.net

Part 3 to our series on the Ecopolitics of Tech - just out! Based on very rich materials produced by A growing Culture, ETC Group, LVC and the Alliance of Food Sovereignty in Africa - use them for your organizing, research, teaching..

It'd be rather far fetched to call it good news, but an interesting development nonetheless, and maybe a bit of an horizon opener - always welcome in the face of a dumb chrous of 'scale up!'

Let's talk about flying for work, the possibilities of conscientious objection, and the need to stop acting like it's 1999 or whenever we didn't fully understand the impact of burning litres and litres of kerosene for a silly bit of work. High time for more regional formats for meetings, research...

"Have Mercy": Watch Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde's Sermon Challenging Trump at Inaugural Service

Looking for teaching info-sheets on AI that people have developed for their students - both for basic information of what that technology is/does and for some framework on how (not) to use that technology in the classroom and for homework. I really want to start my classes with that

Reading: new study of 2,132 US data centers from 2023-24. They now account for more than 4% of total US electricity consumption, with 56% coming from fossil fuels. Virginia, Texas, and Oregon had the highest CO2 emissions. arxiv.org/pdf/2411.09786

"92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI" www.techtonicjustice.org/reports/ines... this is a damning report

In case you havenʼt seen it yet, this website is such a great resource for all of us researchers and teachers working on and discussing technology and society: Calculating Empires – A Genealogy of Technology and Power since 1500 calculatingempires.net

Including the interview with @katecrawford.bsky.social - and the terrific idea of AI as a “metabolic technology”

And the political, ecological, social effects of AI.. it's high time we build organised boycott movements, make countermanuals, info sheets for our students, sabotage and hack, and build big pressure against this technology in its current necropolitical version #boycottAI #againstAI

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

A new episode on the Navdanya School for agroecology, biodiversity, seed conservation, ecofeminism and earth democracy, recorded on site in Uttarakhand. With Vandana Shiva, Preeti Virkar and Bhavana, and many other voices. Light and inspiration for our 2025. <3 soundcloud.com/earthcarefie...

Good morning new year. Let this be one that changes us in ways we desire, and where we make the change we desire and need. Here's a little pod for listening, very beautiful, wise and gentle, with a lot of wonderful voices and sounds 🦜 quite perfect for a stroll into 2025

Legal people out there, a question : I'd like to understand the possible legal uses and implications of the duty of care and of neglect, when applied to cases like that of a healthcare CEO/corporation letting people die (killing people?) by profit driven neglect, like with the Sacklers or the case ⬇️

"Try to build convergence and a common horizon, even while doing wildly different things".

Excited that our first open class room is off the ground, with Salvatore de Rosa from Undisciplined Environments! The topic is strategy, the coming year, and the climate movement ucph-ku.zoom.us/j/65996664544

Apparently I live in the country that retracts the awarding of citizenship to a person because that person was unwilling to sing the national anthem upon being awarded citizenship. Unwilling to sing. Nazi far right and neocon far right in perfect fascist syntony noe.orf.at/stories/3285...

Join us on December 16th, 6.30pm CET for an online session on Movement & Transformation Strategies looking ahead to 2025, learning with comrades from the Undisciplined Environments collective! commonecologies.net/events/openc...

Most deliciously smart, funny, communist film seen in a long time - 3 hours worth everyones time, where the end of the world indeed turns out to be a lot about the end of the month... Deadpan postsocialist realism in very contemporary protocolonial Romania- masterpiece by Radu Jude and the multitude

Colonisation in the West Bank, in English : www.arte.tv/en/videos/11... It's there in German too, Arte are of course more reluctant to call things by their name in that title (at this stage the German speaking world lives in a parallel reality 🤷). Whatever language you speak, do watch! Good work.

++ That is why we're organizing this lab on Earthcare Ancestries on Sunday - to reclaim stories and analyses of peasant and rural connection and resistance. Extra tricky in the German speaking world, extra necessary. Join us in Vienna, registration still open (or just pop by for the film at 5pm)
