The nine-to-five PhD: mere myth or an achievable goal?

Two recent articles approach the same question from different directions: how artistic practice is sustained under extractive conditions.

My Artquest article argues that peer support is infrastructure.

Despina Zefkili’s Fast-burning fuels in Octopus traces funding pressures and project-based production.

What connects them is a shared rejection of the fantasy that institutions will solve this for us.

I look forward to returning to Berlin and the wonderful #kanDDDinsky conference this week. It is one of my definitive highlights of the year, and I am really happy to be able to speak there again. This time, I will challenge the approach many companies have to what they regard as self-organisation, like when attempting an agile transformation, like rolling out Team Topologies or similar attempts at "empowerment."

Decades of research in the social sciences have clearly shown how this ought to be done. Unfortunately, most in the IT industry seem to be ignorant of this. Hope to change that. It is surprisingly easy, but it will require systemic changes in thinking. 😊

My comrades from the internationalist section from Perspektive Selbstverwaltung (anarchist especifist organisation from #Berlin) have set up a fundraiser for comrades in #Türkiye in support of the Wild Cat strikes that are going on there.

Please consider supporting the initiative. It tries to map and by that make visible workers resistance in a age of deep recession.

It would be great if #Telegram would allow these things with links/shared stuff:
- group by domain (e.g. "all YouTube links")
- filter seen/unseen (like blue vs purple links on the web)
- filter without interaction/has reaction/has reply an show, which it has (like a personal to do list)
- indicate when the link has been shared before
