Today in Labor History June 27, 1927: Grace Lee Boggs was born. She was a socialist author, feminist, and activist for African American and Asian American liberation and civil rights. In the 1940s and ‘50s, she had ongoing collaborations with Trinidadian Marxist C.L.R. James and with Raya Dunayevskaya, a U.S. Marxist (and one-time secretary for Trotsky).

A mycelial network doesn't work by accumulation — it works by connection. Each thread touches something, transforms what moves through it, passes something on. The effects, seen from above, look mysterious. The Farmastery treats the fair share experiment that way — try something in genuine relationship, notice what moves, respond to the feedback.

“Both for our livelihood and for our humanity we need to see progress not in terms of ‘having more’ but in terms of growing our souls by creating community, mutual self-sufficiency, and cooperative relations with one another.” - GLB ✨

"We have to think not only about change in our institutions, but [also] changes in ourselves. We are at the stage where the people in charge of the government and industry are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. It’s up to us to reimagine the alternatives and not just protest against them and expect them to do better." — #GraceLeeBoggs "Reimagine everything" (2012)
