a real obstable is how corporate media amplifies the wrong big ideas rn. For example this abundance bs. Because with the right set of big ideas, we actually could reorganize society in like a year, just by workers pivoting into a different formation

aggregate a bunch of Indy newsletters and newsrooms and make a new NYT.

organize Indivisible and WFP into national competition/replacement of the Democratic Party

these institutions will only stop harming us when we replace them. posting complaints has not yet even touched the harm they do

what’s needed, somehow, is the opposite of social entropy.

we could pivot most of our society into less hierarchical institutions that better reflect our values, care for people, and dramatically cut emissions, if we just had plans for abolishing and re-forming those institutions laterally— we’re the ones doing the work and we could do it differently

Bike ambulance!

jealous of people who always made the right choices throughout life

empathy is cool because it allows you to care about things that haven't happened to you, but have happened to other people. the pathway to the kind of empathy that changes your behavior is listening, the deep and real kind of listening. that kind of listening is #socialTech for movement building

people who aren’t at the top of social hierarchies often have strong empathy skills because they need to read other humans to survive. but what if all people had highly developed powers of listening and empathy? what if we taught one another that all humans deserve our deep listening & empathy?

in his 2013 lecture, the revolt of the caring classes, #DavidGraeber noted “in fact there has never been a time most workers worked in factories.” given this, he suggested organizing labor around the work of care, which he said is really the work of helping others be free to play or do whatever, to simply exist, as it were, whole and happy

To know @AlaskaWx is to love his total commitment to tracking Alaska weather and keeping Alaskans informed. I absolutely hate the way this admin is hacking up the social and cultural fabric that holds us all together

China’s planned economy is beating the west on climate, Tianenman square protestors were shot for opposing a wave of reforms forced by US capitalists, and other fine grained Chinese economic history we don’t know but really should
