Today (19 February) I’ll give a keynote lecture about “Tactical Publishing” during the Paper Bonds conference at CEFRES - Centre français de recherche en sciences sociales in Prague. Paper Bonds is about “how self-made books and non-commercial bookmaking practices can foster personal connections, shape identities and build communities across Europe and the Middle East”. Looking forward to listen to leading researchers Hélène Martinelli, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė and Ali Al-Moussaoui.

The Asymptote magazine just published five poems by a prominent soviet underground poet Yan Satunovsky (1913—1982) from the upcoming book Prosthesis Factory (Publ. by World Poetry Books), translated to English by Ainsley Morse & Philip Redko.

I'm so delighted that Satunovsky's poetry is finally available for the world readership to know and love! < 3

After careful examination of all the various encryption algorithms, apps, alternative radio communications, mesh, and more... I have decided this is the best technical workaround for Fascist clampdown on free speech. #samizdat

Whenever someone tells you that preventing disinformation requires giving states total control over what people can say online, remember the role of samizdat in bringing down the Eastern Bloc dictatorships. Those governments also believed that giving themselves total control over what their citizens can publish was in everyone's best interests.
