There's a lot of excellent #advice going around about how to start getting involved in #DirectAction. I'm also thinking about how to keep the #momentum going once we've started, and #build upon what we're doing.
If you've read a #radical book, you can summarize it in a more #accessible format like a #zine, and share what you learned.
If you've planted a #VictoryGarden, you can share what you've grown with your #local #MutualAid network.

the heritage foundation is trying to launder data in support of doge by sending the survey only to their supporters and using blatantly leading questions. it takes less than five minutes and they don't verify your email OR whether you live in the US. you can make up any name and email you wish and do it as many times as you want

@evawolfangel viele Dinge mache ich einfach, ohne zu wissen, das es gar nicht geht. Dann ist es fertig und funktioniert tadellos. Bis irgendjemand sagt, das geht doch gar nicht. #theorie meets #praxis
#Neuhier – Hallo Mastodon! 
(english Version below)
Ich freue mich, hier dabei zu sein! 
Wer bin ich?
Ich bin #Wissenschaftlerin aus dem Bereich der #Wirtschaftspsychologie und #Wirtschaftsinformatik und beschäftige mich intensiv mit #Transformationen und damit zusammenhängende Aspekte wie #Agilität, #Führung und #Digitalisierung / #KI – insbesondere mit der Frage, wie dieses ominöse agile #Mindset entsteht und welche Faktoren es beeinflussen.
Was könnt ihr hier erwarten?
Einblicke in die #Forschung, #Praxis und #Lehre rund um Menschen bei der Arbeit Diskussionen und Austausch zu Agilität, #Scrum, #KI (in der #Lehre), #PsychologischeSicherheit, Führung, und Mindset
Ich freue mich auf spannende Gespräche und neue Perspektiven! 
Mit wem sollte ich mich dazu unbedingt vernetzen? Ich freue mich über Eure Vorschläge und Ideen! 
Danke an @derralf, der mir geholfen hat, endlich einen jetzt "aktiven" Anfang in Mastodon zu wagen

#NewHere – Hello Mastodon!
Excited to be here!
Who am I?
I’m a researcher in the fields of business psychology and business informatics, deeply engaged in transformation topics, including agility, leadership, and digitalization/AI. My main focus: How does this elusive agile mindset emerge, and what factors influence it?
What can you expect here? Insights into #research, practice, and #teaching, about people at work Discussions and exchanges on #agility, #scrum, #AI (in #education) #psychologicalsafety, #leadership and #mindset
Looking forward to exciting conversations and new perspectives!
Who should I definitely connect with on these topics? I’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas!
Big thanks to @derralf for helping me finally take the leap and become active on Mastodon!
it'd be a real shame if we all spammed https://www.ice.gov/webform/ice-tip-form with memes and nonsense.

I love how Starhawk actually details some action paths to take, breaks it down, makes it simple.

The #BlackPanthers had it all figured out. Their #praxis was unparalleled. We need to start taking cues from them again. Whatever it is we're doing now isn't really working.

As a reminder, gift economies aren't markets. Stop conflating barter with gift economy. Markets are not personal. Markets are based on commodity production. Gift economies are based on your actual relationship with someone. #gifteconomy #markets #anticapitalism #praxis #anarchy #anarchism
⁂ (Fediverse) Podcast: PolL049 – Der Anarchismus. Idee – Praxis – Lebensform mit Prof. Fabian Lemmes
In dieser Folge ist Prof. Fabian Lemmes vom Lehrstuhl für Medien und Kulturgeschichte zu Gast, der uns in die Geschichte des Anarchismus einführt. Dabei gehen wir einigen falschen Vorstellungen auf den Grund – aber auch den Auswirkungen dieser politischen „Lebensform“. Wussten Sie zum Beispiel, was die Grünen mit Anarchismus zu tun haben?

philosophers are like a buffet - more questionable dishes 
2/?
(worked hard on this, be kind)
Zeno of Citium invented Stoicism, the philosophy of accepting whatever daddy capitalism does to you with a smile. basically philosophical BDSM without the fun parts or aftercare. the ultimate submissive's guide to letting the world raw dog you while pretending you wanted it that way. also made the unforgivable sin of spawning generations of tech bros quoting Marcus Aurelius while building surveillance capitalism and calling their emotional constipation "virtue." bonus points for inspiring LinkedIn philosophers who think "the obstacle is the way" means exploiting their workers harder
Schopenhauer grasped the fundamental nature of suffering while being its perfect embodiment. wrote an entire philosophy around being an incel, yet his insights on will and representation resonate perfectly in those dark 3am moments of clarity
Kierkegaard understood existential dread so well because he lived it. spent his life wrestling with faith, anxiety, and regret over a broken engagement. brilliant on paper, but perhaps needed less contemplation and more touching grass
de Beauvoir revolutionized feminist philosophy while trapped in philosophy's most toxic relationship. wrote about women's liberation and authenticity while letting a narcissistic existentialist control her narrative. the irony burns
Kropotkin watched ants share food and decided humans could do better. noble idea, but maybe spent too much time with cooperative insects and not enough time watching people fight over parking spots. still, his analysis of mutual aid shaped revolutionary thought
Hegel constructed an entire philosophical system to explain everything, then explained it in the most convoluted way possible. thesis: brilliant insights, antithesis: impenetrable prose, synthesis: philosophical migraine
Jung mapped the collective unconscious then got so lost in it he built a tower and invented languages. went from analyzing archetypes to living them, which is either madness or transcendence. possibly both
Wittgenstein solved all of philosophy's problems twice, declared philosophy meaningless both times, yet couldn't stop philosophizing. threw away wealth to teach children, then got frustrated when they didn't understand logical positivism
Baudrillard predicted our descent into hyperreality while becoming increasingly unreal himself. wrote about the death of reality while reality died around him. simultaneously predicted social media brain rot but didn't go far enough
Epicurus preached pleasure as the highest good but defined it as "not being disturbed." founded a philosophy of hedonism that mainly involved eating simple meals and having lengthy discussions about atoms. task failed successfully
Zinn rewrote history from below while academia clutched its pearls. showed us the people's story but thought education alone could overcome power. he gave us the tools to understand why we need to burn it all down. READ PEOPLE'S HISTORY
give me Emma Goldman - she knew theory meant nothing without dancing with a molotov in one hand and a lover in the other
update: now a thread! 1/?
philosophers are like a buffet - take what's useful, leave what's not
Marx, so much to say here:
- he saw the chains clearly but didn't realize how many would learn to love their shackles
- understood class consciousness but couldn't predict how effectively spectacle would fragment it
- mapped capital's structure perfectly but missed how it would mutate to survive
Camus gets it - life's absurd, might as well embrace it and find joy in the revolt
Zizek's fun but needs *sniff* to get to the fucking point *sniff* faster *sniff*
Nietzsche understood the death of god but his übermensch concept got hijacked by fascist dipshits who couldn't read. and don't even get me started on either: the gross misreading of what he actually believed about nihilism and the antisemitic shit added after death
Stirner needed to learn to shitpost - imagine writing a whole book about rejecting social constructs and then getting mad when people don't take your social construct (egoism) seriously enough
LaVey got the hedonism right but was too caught up in Randian bullshit to see the bigger picture
Spinoza knew what was up with determinism but needed to loosen his collar a bit
Bataille understood the connection between sex, death, and the sacred - my kind of freak
Deleuze got that desire is revolutionary but wrote like he was being paid by the syllable
Rawls is too optimistic about human nature but his veil of ignorance is a useful thought experiment
Foucault nailed power dynamics but missed some practical applications
Sartre had good ideas but was kind of a dick about them
Butler understood gender as performance but academia made it too complex for the masses who needed to hear it
but honestly? give me Diogenes any day - that's praxis you can use... nothing says 'fuck your system' like jerking off in public and living in a barrel
or maybe i'm just a silly chaos witch who likes to fuck with people's expectations. could be both. probably is both.

IP law and lack of constraints is the problem... Amen.
Really great new Podcast on Enshitification – Cory Doctorow @pluralistic
Enshittification isn’t caused by venture capital
Episode webpage: https://craphound.com/overclocked/2025/01/20/enshittification-isnt-caused-by-venture-capital/
Important thoughts on Bluesky and importance of constraints.
Impressive list of upcoming events Cory. Glad to see it.
Pause in der #Praxis und man plaudert über Gott und die Welt.
Eine junge Angestellte die wir aus ihrer Ausbildung übernommen haben berichtete von ihrem gestrigen Besuch bei ihrer #Bank .
Sie hat ein wenig Geld gespart, bekam schon mal etwas von ihren verstorbenen Großeltern und wollte von ihrem Sachbearbeiter nun einen Plan haben wie man am besten Geld anlegt und spart.
Das Gespräch muss wohl informativ gewesen sein und der Mitarbeiter verabschiedete sie dann mit den Worten:
"Sie könne ja heute Abend mal mit ihrem Mann darüber reden".
Mein Vormittag war schon einigermaßen scheiße, diese Geschichte schaltete mich leider auf "Go".
Ich habe mich umgezogen und bin zu dieser Bank gefahren.
Ich bin nicht schrill wenn ich richtig sauer bin. Ich bin auch nicht "hysterisch" wenn ich richtig sauer bin. Ich plappere auch nicht wenn ich richtig sauer bin.
Ich bin ruhig aber man kann mich sehr deutlich hören.
Ich bin mit dem Mitarbeiter und seinem Filialstellenleiter etwas entgleist - rote Haare.
War das drüber? Ja.
Tut es mir leid? Nein.
Hot take: The Left is too "singles issue", what do I mean by this? I mean that we as leftists have the tendency to hyper focus on singular issues instead of a systemic approach to change. We saw Kamala Harris lose the election likely due to the massacre in Gaza which she refused to condemn and the Left's subsequent boycott of her: https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/us-trump-election-gaza-effect-voting-boycott-harris
And I'm not saying not to pressure your politicians, I'm saying that it's important to look at the big picture, as long as we'll have the horrible system of corporate democracy we'll have to choose between terrible candidates. This year demonstrates how stupid the decision to boycott Kamala in 2024 was, not only is Trump offering to aid Israel perpetuate its massacre with direct American troop involvement but he's stating his will to invade US allies such as Canada, Greenland, Panama and he even said that Turkey should get to decide the fate of Syria, likely meaning the death of Rojava. If Trump's policies will be implemented and this isn't some elaborate bluff or one of his many lies the world will pay for the one track mind of the American Left.
