I am noticing, in a discussion on indigeneity, how my own lineage of exile, migration, and diaspora makes me more comfortable trusting trans-territorial networks than territorial states.

@jonny totally. Though land-centered non-state Indigenous perspectives can be anarchist too. I am just seeing how there is wisdom both in land-centeted stewardship traditions and network-centered diasporas.

If you own a Tesla, your car is covered in cameras that take images reviewed by Tesla employees, who share them with each other, joke about them, and make them into memes.

@strypey @silverpill @lain @Hyolobrika @Sarosa @teknomunk I think it depends on what you mean by "algorithmic governance." Constitutional elections are an algorithm, too. I tend to think healthy governance finds the right balance of algorithmic systems and culture.

The argument of my critique is that over-reliance on economic incentives is a danger and ends up constraining the possibilities of governance designs—leaning too hard on algorithm and crowding out culture/values/humans.

Imagine if music didn't exist, miserable as fuck. It really is some of the strongest glue to bind us together both personally and interpersonally isn't it

@Shrigglepuss It is weird and miraculous how people like to listen to rhythmic patterns of sounds

Spoiler alert: My book ends with this image by Darija Medić, borrowing from the wonderful https://native-land.ca—a reminder from Indigenous legacies that sovereignty need not depend on monopolies over land and militarized borders.

Start reading at the end, if you do that: https://luminosoa.org/site/books/10.1525/luminos.181/read/?loc=013.xhtml

I'm so thrilled to celebrate my friend Shamika Klassen for finishing her PhD here at CU Boulder. Read about her extraordinary work here: https://www.colorado.edu/cmcinow/2024/05/06/making-digital-less-discriminatory

She'll also be speaking at my upcoming book event in San Francisco, June 8: https://lu.ma/governable-spaces-sf

Why is it that typos and grammatical errors seem to appear disproportionately in the first sentence of a student paper?

Hey Bay Area! I'm excited to announce an event on at the Internet Archive on June 8, featuring three brilliant governance experiments from:

Yasmine El Baggari (Hylo)
Émeline Brule (Sequoia Fabrica)
Dr. Shamika Klassen (CU Boulder)

Do you have term sheets or bylaws conducive to ? We're interested in creating a library to help accelerate experimentation. Let me know if you can contribute.

If you're, say, occupying space somewhere with other people, you'll need to have a way to make hard decisions—like, say, how to face attacks by fascists or police.

That's why my lab is building CommunityRule.info, a tool for designing self-governance practices, grounded in mutual aid.

How windy is it? Well, dog came in from walk and went right to her hidey-hole closet and won’t come out not even for breakfast.

@nancybaym It is REALLY windy. But it's fun biking Eastward downtown, I'll tell you that. Downhill and downwind.

@nancybaym I love how Colorado is both dependably beautiful and still consistently reminds us that we are not in control.
