‘Escaping capitalism needs to be on a collective level. And we all need community more than ever — to work together, to provide the things we need for each other …. We’ll need to own the means to do this, and have democracy in our workplaces, and so many other things besides. Van life doesn’t do anything to liberate anyone else. We’ve simply liberated ourselves from the rat race. And who knows how long for?’

Appreciating this new one from #HollyExley:

A new video from UK #illustrator Holly Exley (who I don’t think has a fediverse presence).

I’m a fan of Exley’s channel. She’s given some years now not to ‘creator economy’ participation merely but to being a learner in public, a learner who’ll invite you to open and extend your experience of social learning through her own seeking, self-questioning example. This is a way of being in the world that I hope finds parallel in my own life.
