Hey @fairphone.com I sent a support request ten days ago - because the app lounge on my @murena-com.bsky.social Fairphone isn't working and my apps aren't updating - and haven't heard anything. Disappointed to be honest!

Standardised testing plus removal of social safety nets is a eugenics project. School is driving authoritarianism and making people think it is both necessary and inevitable.

The last year and a half in Gaza is a strong enough reason to dismantle the entire US-led western empire. The Gaza holocaust could end tomorrow and it would still be reason enough. All the empire's other worldwide abuses could have never happened and it'd still be reason enough.

Schooling is a governance issue because that’s where we come to understand our culture. For most of us that’s where we learn that authoritarianism is the only possible “natural” way of organising and that people must be controlled for anything worthwhile to happen.

How will young people learn about the things they don’t find easy or interesting? Ha! They ask for it. This group of 10-14 year olds asked me to plan a geometry session for them BECAUSE they don’t like it. They do algebra, for example, on their own for fun. Self-directed education FTW!

Today my teenager got up when she was rested, tidied her room, independently studied what she felt was necessary for her chosen path, cooked when she was hungry, went to the loo as needed, hung out with friend, read a book with me in a shady hammock. Life without school is infinitely better.

Just a reminder that no state - not Israel, not the United States, not Russia, not China, not ANY state - has a right to exist. People have rights to exist. But states and governments are legal fictions. As such, their "right" to exist persists only insofar as they serve the people.

Last night I met a high level civil servant at a punk gig who literally couldn’t understand what I meant by ground up, participatory decision making, where nobody is in charge. He just had no frame of reference for it and could not wrap his head around it, even when explained in very simple terms. 🫠

Bodies of water become stagnant without movement. The only way to prevent concentration of power in systems is to constantly evolve them. Evolution is more important that what systems we use. Life is change. Change or die.
