3. Club Culture as Fugitive Pedagogy

The dance floor, the DJ booth, and the dark room are temporary shelters – places of rest and release – but also points of pressure where the social contract loosens. The rhythm may be four-four, but what moves through it is fugitive.

COMMUNE grows from a question that has followed me for years: What if celebration itself is a form of pedagogy? What if the dance floor, the DJ booth, the radio show, the anticipatory gathering, the app group, and the after are all classrooms for liberation? commune.zone/commune

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”
1/3
Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza.

Israel seems to be intercepting right now.

All eyes needed.

Dutch parliament just voted to recognise antifa as a terrorist organisation. We are merely weeks behind you.
In his address to military leaders today, Trump said they should use American cities as "training grounds for our military" because "we are under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy, but worse—they don’t wear a uniform."

No, and it seems like a disappointing waste of time, but it’s great to @squirrelista.bsky.social & @dustinmulvaney.bsky.social do social work.

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social plz read studies critically assessing these infrastructures, industries & their dependence/collaboration w/ FF industries.

Climate people, did the fossil fuel industry seed and propagate the idea that renewables (specifically batteries) require materials, which require mining, which is bad (so implicitly we should just run on fossil fuels forever)? It's just striking to me how devoutly people repeat it unexamined....

You have to organize. I don't know what else to tell people. And organizing is not sexy and it is difficult and it matters that you be persistent. We need long-distance runners right now.
