Taking away from @mosh.bsky.social ‘s talk her thought: could a coop bundle “features” from all the emerging atproto apps to do sales to brands?

Posting a day late to say : this was so much fun! Thanks all for playing the first cut of this zine game + coming up with new hospicing tactics. Thanks to @oliverbates.co.uk jamming on this with me. I'll share an updated version soon here + other places + directly with those who've asked.

Yani Kong will be reading from our chapter “Reimagining Networks: Speculative Thinking for Low-Carbon Research Networks” at the April 6 event. Looking forward to it!

Watching my first hospicing live demo by @hyl.st at #atscience thanks for sharing your goodbyes with the room 🤲🏻

I have a chapter in this with the wonderful Yani Kong! It's been a minute since the workshop that led to this book, but I still dig our exploration of constraint through slow and decelerated media as we wrote together. Thanks @apasek.bsky.social for collecting and editing us ✨

pnw dream weekend: visit the Historic Computing Lab at UVic and listen to 100rabbits talk about design constraints, minimal computing, and life on a sailboat. stare at the Salish sea on the ferry. see an old friend. do it all with a crew from vancouver. hcl.library.uvic.ca

from the tos: "2.3. If you feel that the Chatbot’s responses do not accurately reflect the position of the Trotskyist movement, or have any other question about the Chatbot’s responses, please contact us at [email protected]"

go see nirvanna the band the show the movie for that feeling of visiting 2008 toronto while not succumbing to nostalgia and also laughing with friends.

absolute cinema. ty criterion channel for adding face/off.

Found this episode (about Britain) more helpful than anything so far to think abt this wave of nationalism in Canada and the contradictions/possibilities/inevitabilities of a left nationalism. where can I get my 3+ hours of listening on the waffle??

A 2025 goal was to read 100 books. I got very close (96) and was happy that I read consistently. Though I wish I had read less genre fiction, less contemporary books with buzz (61 were released in 2025 + 2024), and was over my theory hangover (at generous count I managed 4).

That's a step increase in employment of 20-30% for building trades employment. Sean Strickland from @cdntrades.bsky.social sums it up perfectly: "Canada’s transition to a cleaner economy represents one of the most significant job creation opportunities in our country’s history." #canlab /4

Sad to learn Yves Veggies Cuisine is discontinued via insta comment, ouch. It is/was a (not always great) staple of being vegetarian and vegan in Canada. Especially in rural grocery stores: dailyhive.com/vancouver/yv... brb actually considering how to start a nationwide plant protein cooperative

so ready to do some strollplaying on my evening walk!

Looking forward to this workshop on March 27! Come join me and @rachaelashe.com and bring a friend!

📡 at very long last, today is the big day! my beloved book, OTHER NETWORKS: A RADICAL TECHNOLOGY SOURCEBOOK, is officially available for pre-order! 1/5 #othernetworks shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898...

I attended this last year, and it was 🌟. Given the toxicity + cowardice of FAANG, we need to imagine smaller, lower-tech, less evil tools + systems! Now seeking proposals (due Jan 26!) for wrkshps, performances + art at this year's event, March 13-14, keynoted by the great @loriemerson.net!

Access to space! A community of peers! Starting locally! This incubator looks like it has all the best things 🤲🏼

This is an amazing post asking r/sysadmin for recommendations about legacy system modernization www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/c...

Just chatted with a friend about the lack of real membership orgs in our lives and how sad canvassing to mobilize can feel. This article sets up what is at stake: “not just the democracy of elections—the democracy of everyday life, where we routinely and communally participate in power”

Here’s my pitch: the Democrats should take a few million dollars and fund free childcare centers and bowling nights in swing districts resnikoff.beehiiv.com/p/the-party-...

Are any #limits people here? I attended Computing within #LIMITS2024 last week: computingwithinlimits.org/2024/ and left with concepts to reflect on: the ratchet effect and tactics for degrowth computing [1], and visceralizing data might overcome psychological distance on climate topics [2].
