By the way the Substack app is kinda annoying you don't have to download it to drop a reply in the chat, though it tries to make you on mobile - using a browser / desktop you can still play. I just need your email I am not sponsored by the substack app development team lol
I will sign them and send them out worldwide - just drop a reply into my substack subscriber chat (meaning you have to give me your email, not anything else) substack.com/chat/326808 and I will contact people over the next few days
Merry Christmas ! I am giving away a bunch of free books — who wants one
Also - 3. I will give away more (of both of my books) by mail later this year using that chat, so don't get mad at me for having a couple UK copies now. Also - 4. I will delete these tweets at some point
Released today ! — paperback editions (US and UK)

What was behind the mass protests in Indonesia this year, and how did they change the country? From Jakarta, a report by Hanna Samosir, on an unfinished revolution
I have never collected any money from Substack. However, I may soon try to use the platform to pay contributors (well!) to North South Notes, writing from around the world. If you are interested in that idea, please feel free to subscribe and pledge support

In 1998, the founders of Google famously wrote that any search engine powered by advertising revenues would be “inherently biased” and contrary to the interests of the user. Twenty-seven years and ~$1.9 trillion dollars in advertising revenue later... www.northsouthnotes.org/p/nostalgia-...
Thank you, so much, to everyone who has donated or even just retposted. In two days we hit the goal I had imagined, and will be able to cover 2/3 of their operating expenses for the rest of this year. I will stop here, end the fundraising, and get them the money. Thank you !
Once more, I'll pass the money through a local contact in the Catholic Church (Indonesians will be able to guess who this is), and as with last time, I expect SekBer will send a thank you note with photos of the money being put to good use
Un inspirador trabajo de campo y análisis reconstructivo de los levantamientos populares masivos de la década pasada que impulsaron cambios y que nos pueden servir de aprendizaje para, por qué no, retomar la propuesta transformadora en el futuro.
