Se ce l'ho fatta io nella giungla della burocrazia consolare internazionale, ce la farete voi a far due passi pel quartiere e a dire 5 semplici ✅SI✅SI✅SI✅SI✅SI, perché la differenza che conta non è tra chi in Italia ci è nato o no, ma tra chi il lavoro lo fa e chi il lavoro lo sfrutta

Great to see this Oxford Bibliography on Anthropology and Degrowth that came out recently. It includes seminal works on #degrowth #postgrowth and intersections with #anthropology and other subjects. Excellent work Susan Paulson, Gabriela Cabaña Alvear, Lucía Muñoz-Sueiro @lorenzovelotti.bsky.social!

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

The unfolding existential attack on Rojava isn‘t „simply“ a story of territorial loss, it's an attack on a collective archive of resistance, on imaginaries of freedom, on the memory of our beloved we lost on the way, on hopes for a future, hopes for overdue justice and lived practices of democracy.

In Italia c'è ancora poca consapevolezza del ruolo dei fondi immobiliari nelle nostre città. Si continua a evidenziare solo una piccola parte del problema - affitti brevi, bnb, turismo, studenti - perdendo di vista il quadro generale, cioè la finanziarizzazione dell'intera economia urbana
