#MutualAid ask:

I’m disabled, trying to make essays, theories, and weird little useful things because I think knowledge should circulate outside institutions too.

Unfortunately I am also a body in capitalism.

If anything I do has helped you, made you think, or you just want to help me keep going, donations help a lot

boosts appreciated too 🖤

As some of you may already know, I'm finishing my Bachelor's degree this semester! 🎉

I'm already thinking about what my next steps should be, and I'm considering pursuing a Master's degree and/or looking for a fellowship of some sort. I was wondering, does anyone know any programs aligned with research in free and open source ecosystems _and_ technopolitics?

I could use some help, friends. I'd really appreciate sharing. ​

If you can help out with the occasional pizza, that would really mean a lot to me. Monthly gifts would take care of a lot of my financial stress/anxiety as well.

Article on Repair Cafes and Repair Clinics.

If you haven't gone to a local one, I recommend it.

If you don't have a local one, I recommend spinning one up.

And here’s @henry nailing the key point: it doesn’t matter if so-called AI “works.” What matters is that the value of your labor goes down, and workers are pushed further into precarity.

But what *really* matters, of course, is what we collectively decide to do about that.
