      1/ I’m extremely excited to be speaking at @ribbonfarm Refactor Camp in LA next month. It’s sold out but it will be recorded and posted Current working title: We Are All Activists Now

      2/ My basic message is that the new political/social environment is forcing a huge swathe of the population to engage in activism, something that was previously a weird activity for weird people

      3/ We’ve done it poorly, resorting mostly to political donations, calls to reps, naming and shaming, boycotting, complaining about it online, unfriending ppl with opposing views, and *maybe* volunteering for campaigns or causes we care about

      4/ These are all fine but don’t fundamentally change things, we’re learning. Activism is not about some superficial actions, but a way of being that allows one to cross over, understand, and ultimately shape other people’s alternate realities

      5/ From @adriennemaree I’m going to talk about the importance of pleasure, the senses, the body, and art in “making the revolution irresistible.” And what we can learn from biomimicry and sci-fi about how to craft new narratives

      Really excited for the talk! I‘d love to see a “pre-syllabus” from each of the speakers, with background reading on the conceptual influences before hearing the talks (cc @vgr) Would it enable deeper questions? More substantial discussion?
