Embassy Network

A network of place-based communities experimenting with new forms of governance and solidarity.

[Beyond Return Collective // DMs open @BeyondReturnOrg]

We're working with urgency to change things. Normal was the problem; we will not go back. DMs open; let's coordinate.
What are you working on? How can we support? #strongertogether #dontgobacktonormal

The Red Victorian relaunches as the Experimental Hotel <3

[Red Vic Hotel @redvichotel]

Just what is the experimental hotel..? We envision a space where we come to learn about ourselves, change ourselves and explore our sociality. The Red Victorian is a platform for this. #experimentaldinners #experimentalhotel #roguescience #criticaltheory #interdisciplinary

From the intro of Ursula Le Guin's version of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way.

"poetry... a patterned intensity of language... [where] beauty is no ornament; it is the meaning. It is the truth."

In short, it was a bad idea to make one of the pillars of democracy an almost entirely capitalistic enterprise dependent on advertising revenues. Yes it was was short-sighted. But the consequences affect everyone, not just this industry.

Rereading the Outer Space Treaty with @wsm1. It really might be the most staggeringly radical piece of int'l law ever: Basically the ENTIRETY of outer space "shall be used for peaceful purposes" and "the province of all mankind." https://t.co/4708TyXBT3 🚀

"So even these kind of failed Utopian visions, the failure to imagine something that’s really different also succeeds, because they function as critical tools." - Kathi Weeks via @zarinahagnew

[Zarinah Agnew @zarinahagnew]

Experimental and observational research suggests that as we consider who to cooperate with, we care more about how how fair someone is than how successful/how much wealth they have

15 minute #microreading for today was the paper “The social significance of subtle signals“ Nature Human Behavior 2, 452–457 https://t.co/0DI8FnYUyw

[Zarinah Agnew @zarinahagnew]

Today’s #microreading from “Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism” - which asks ‘what makes people live and die for nations, as well as hate and kill in their name?’ (link in thread)

Listening to Infinite Monkey Cage (podcast) while I pack, and a panelist mentions @zarinahagnew running up to people at the UK beatboxing championships asking if they (singular) can scan people's brains. Ha. So proud of them. 💘you Z
