Learned about [[Bunny Fonts]] from James.
[[Listened]]: [[Digitalisation and the Security State]]
I found a weeks old todo to follow [[Peter Murray]] ([[peter_murray]] in [[hypothes.is]]) and I see why: he uses double square brackets in posts in platforms that don’t support them yet too!
It was an emotional weekend; Saturday being upbeat, Sunday being more meditative and at times low energy but ending well.
Today I worked and had a fully meetings free afternoon as the US was out due to [[memorial day]].
My mum was/is sick (pneumonia again) and that makes me think of death and impermanence. But it’s a good occasion to meditate.
I thought of someday maybe picking back up some of the draft short stories I started around [[2017]], like [[Caramel City]], [[Cannazon]] and the one about the [[Wu-Tang Clan]].
I received a letter about Christianity out of the blue the other day and today I came across it and saw it had a reference to jw.org, which ended up being [[Jehovah’s Witnesses]]. I have a negative affect towards the organization because of things I have heard about how the doctrine affects the freedom of its members, but the message that I received seemed innocuous enough. Interesting that they didn’t include the name of the organization anywhere, just the domain.
I’ve been meaning to work and play on:
I finished off Week 3 of the [[Digital Capitalism online course]].
Started listening to the masterclass for week 4, on the digital trade agenda.
Learning about ecology on Kinnu, I realise that it’s a great source of ideas for thinking in systems.
[[Listened]]: [[Digital colonialism: Geopolitics of data and development]]
[[World-Ecology]].
[[Cooperation Jackson]] and the [[Jackson-Kush Plan]] are explicitly [[ecosocialist]] in outlook.
They also work on the principle of instituting [[non-reformist reform]]s.
Read: [[Critique of techno-feudal reason]]
alpha.social.coop
using [[coop cloud]] but it’s not up yet.I’ve been living [[Protopianism]] in my personal life; dealing with bed bugs, every iteration across the six months of process for eradication a show of the many small complexities of life, all the while feeling lucky and aware.
After 4x fumigation adding [[diatomaceous earth]] stripes all around (quite ingenious packaging+spilling resistant) the new bed seemed to seemed to give us that additional (feeling of) safety :)
After a long hiatus, low-key writing [[Reclaim the Stacks: reflections, May 2024]].
Reading [[Critical Perspectives on Digital Capitalism: Theories and Praxis. Introduction to the Special Issue]]
Not necessarily in that order :)
I like [[silver bullet]] but I come back to [[wiki vim]] because it’s on the terminal and that’s where I sometimes want to write.
I like [[senegal town]].
Also: [[mexico city]], [[paris]] :)
I finally managed to start (just as it’s finishing!) the [[Digital Capitalism online course]] from the [[Transnational Institute]].
And the [[tripleC]] special issue on digital capitalism just came out.
Apropos of the above, for [[node club]] (AKA [[Homebrew Commons Club]]) I’m going to write about [[digital capitalism]].
[[Ecology]]
I should put more images in my garden.
Finally finished watching [[Minersβ Strike 1984: The Battle For Britain]].
Read [[Palestine speaks for everyone]]

When I get a moment I’ll make a page of gardening tasks for myself.
