This moment isn’t normal, but here’s our glimmer of hope Lessons from a cooperative businesses conference, and being a part of a larger movement

We may be D.C.’s first worker-led nonprofit newsroom. But we’re part of a larger system of cooperative organizations working to build a better world.

Last week, one of our co-founders spoke at a gathering of these businesses, from credit unions to neighborhood grocers.

What she's bringing back:

Frosted blackberry leaf (finding beauty in the changing seasons). #photography #nature #macro

olivia dean is very good music

And very creative souls that seem to carry so much pain. I want to give so many of them hugs and wish I could convince them that they are loved.

And people like to talk about UBI but we can’t get billionaires to pay their taxes now. What makes you think you will get them to pay more to subsidize your living?

Atp they’d just off you because your life would simply be another cost they they can cut.

Keep laying off workers to keep costs low and then signal to investors that you’re still profitable and then when you’re at bare metal what do you do then?

You have to think about what careers people will have and how they’ll sustain themselves. If industries are not experiencing the growth they once were then what’s next?

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

Technology addiction is a business model too similar to cigarettes. Fuck all our health over profits.

Which is why I keep harping on cooperatives and alternative business models that put people - not just executive teams - first.

"D’Angelo also chafed at the description of his music as simply neo-soul. “I never claimed I do neo-soul,” he said in a Red Bull Music Academy interview in 2014. “When I first came out, I used to always say: ‘I do Black music. I make Black music.’”

The reason booktok has a reputation for liking poor books is because it skews to younger readers who are naturally going to have their minds blown by new literary experiences. It's the start of a journey for them.

(Publishing allowing booktok to dictate the industry norms is another issue)

Really would like people to shift their thinking to the point where they see themselves and the people around them as the people who will collectively navigate through this moment.

How can we create a better future when everyone is a child waiting for the "real" adults to tell them what to do? Or better yet for the adults to get up and do it for them?

And of course the leaders in this country currently reflect this brand of childishness. So now its the blind leading...

This has been a prevailing thought of mine for about 7-8 yrs. And of all things going on in America and the world rn, the thing that scares me most is the utter immaturity of the avg American adult.

The inability for us to meet the moment because too many of us are stuck in perpetual childishness.

I think about the Jennifer Jason Leigh character in Fargo telling the libertarian cop character that the only people who get what he wants are babies

Yep. It's the inability to grow up, the constant Disneyfication of everything...

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
