21st Century Co-op Ecologies Cooperatives have always been more than a business model, they’re an experiment in how we might live, work, and create differently together.

In our latest issue, we zoom out by surveying the co-ops, solidarity economies, and platform alternatives that make our work possible and show how we can organize differently.

I think it would be really helpful if everyone posting their very cool takes on the state of music journalism this week would also encourage people to subscribe to worker-owned outlets & support independent writers trying to make new things happen

so much of current tech just wants to completely circumvent essential human experiences because they're mildly uncomfortable and i think we need a hard reset back to flip phones and beepers until everyone acts right

The global drug war lies at the heart of so many global problems.

From drug war refugees, environmental destruction, mass incarceration, loss of civil liberties, and mass death from the overdose crisis.

It's time to end the global drug war for a better, safer, healthier, more peaceful world.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, β€œi’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.
