Totally. It’s a big hegemonic shift, but I think it’s very important to shift the primary institutions we use to organize society & make sense of the world away from markets & prisons, and toward libraries & gardens. 🌱 📚

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

YouTube video by Andrewism We Need A Library Economy

Makes me think of this excellent video by @andrewsage.bsky.social on library economies and how the model of the library can be applied to other things.

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.

I want more people to make the connections.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” -- James Baldwin

I think about this post a lot.

this is why teaching history feels so important to me right now.

[Guy whose dick fell off because there's a girl in star wars] I would probably do well in a civil war

keep on believing, because what your country needs
Is a new flag for the future, made of the moving sky
With curling smoke, a-whisping in from all cultures
Ablaze with life

republicans believe poor people deserve to suffer because they're lazy and weak, whereas the democrats have a much lengthier explanation

Jason Hickel @jasonhickel.bsky.soc... • 4d For those on the left who are not socialists, or who do not ally with socialist parties, I don't really understand: what exactly is the project? What is the plan? 71 ₫ 136 • 622.

The ceasefire continues according to virtually every media outlet. Israel is demolishing entire neighbourhoods in Gaza to make sure Palestinians never go back.

The genocide is ongoing

History's best scam: calling a system designed to suppress popular participation "democracy."

Everyone weird will also die.
What lives on is the destruction caused my market economics”

I felt that

Jane Goodall, the celebrated primatologist and conservationist, has died Jane Goodall, the conservationist renowned for her groundbreaking chimpanzee field research and globe-spanning environmental advocacy, has died. She was 91.

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

"The 1% who rule the world may have turned the pursuit of money and power into a kind of pathological game that are ends in themselves, but for the rest of us, having money, having an income, being free from debt, has come to mean having the power to pursue something other than money. We all want to ensure our loved ones are safe, and taken care of. We all want to live in healthy and beautiful communities but beyond that, the things we wish to pursue are likely to be wildly different. What if freedom were the ability to make up our minds about what it was we wished to pursue, with whom we wished to pursue it, and what sort of commitments we wish to make to them in the process?" . - David Graeber

The destructive nature of the current feudalized version of capitalism needs to be talked about more on social media.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
