Because the web, and the world, needs a working example of what trust-based, open, collective media can be again.
We’ve tried the #dotcons way, and it’s killing both truth and community.

STAR WARS: THE SOFT EMPIRE
Let's try some metaphors DRAFT (was looking for a Star Wars meme but find them horribly right-wing, we have made a real mess,,,)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw4JGeUhvSw
Had to use an old video, kinda on subject to the metaphor
A long time ago, in a network not so far away… The internet was once alive with wild diversity. Countless small worlds of the #openweb - linked by fragile trust, shared roots, and messy, beautiful collaboration.
The #FOSS Federation of Commons was rising… […]

The music industry does not work for artists or listeners and needs a radical reimagining.
Mirlo hosts a community of artists, listeners, organizers, and coders who are daring to do just that: taking lessons learned from working in the solidarity economy and applying them to our platform. 📣🐦⬛

Inspire civic engagement in your classroom and community with Resisterhood! Today we're highlighting Dr. Jean Gearon, one of the subjects of our new documentary Resisterhood.
Jean is the great-granddaughter of one of the original Suffragists in the United States. Jean founded a grassroots political group that's involved in local and state politics, as well as the fight to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) — the same battle Jean’s great-grandmother fought more than 100 years ago.
Teach about grassroots organizing and activism, the Equal Rights Amendment, gender equity and civic engagement with Resisterhood! For grades 10-12, higher ed and adult learning. It's great for campus screenings and community education!

Just in case I know anyone in Columbia County, Georgia, please consider my friend Howard for County Commissioner in the upcoming special election. He’s a great bloke who got fed up with local politics and decided to do something about it.
Boosts, especially by those in #ColumbiaCounty or #Georgia more widely, greatly appreciated.

The current media system is stacked against us. It’s rigged, exclusive, and hostile to alternatives.
That’s why we need the Open Media Network.
Because without an open, trust-based infrastructure for communication and coordination, we’re just shouting into silos.
Let’s build something different.
Let’s make history — together.

What do you mean by “mainstreaming”?
At its core, #mainstreaming is how we, often unconsciously, uphold and reproduce the values of the dominant system. In our time, that system is #neoliberalism, or what I metaphorically call the #deathcult. It’s the air we breathe: shaping our politics, our economics, even the food we eat and how we relate to each other.
In activist terms, #mainstreaming too often means pushing this dominant worldview into alternative spaces, building careers and institutions that play progressive on the […]

The roadblocks to change: #StupidIndividualism and the #Deathcult that breeds it
If you’ve ever tried to build something radical, collective, and actually useful, you’ve run into these forces. They’re not just annoying. They’re dangerous, structural, and they always show up. This post is about naming those, calling them what they are, and understanding how they’re entangled in the wider problem:
A culture that valorizes individualism, feeds on careerism, and bows to the false “common sense” of the neoliberal #deathcult.
The #NGO agenda: Careerism in activist […]

Theory and Practice in Activism
There’s a common confusion pushed by well-meaning #fashernistas, about how change actually happens. They love theory. They love to talk about change. But when it comes to doing, things go sideways. Why? Because good horizontalists know: theory must emerge from practice, not the other way around.
At the root of radical practice is #DIY culture. We don’t wait for perfect theory or academic approval. We get our hands dirty. We try things, we fail, we try again. Through this, we build […]
