The very social contract by which we allow the state authority over us as individuals requires that the state recognise our selfhood and provide reciprocal care for our interests.
All our interests. Not a subset of the people you like/ who look like you/ same gender/ sexuality as you... All of us.

Somehow I missed this in my own backyard! Jesus totally would've been in that crowd playing the kazoo, wearing full pink robes.
Mad props to whoever led hundreds of kazoos in playing Pink Pony Club without it sounding like murdering a musician.

Magnificent! Photo from my collection, no date/info. I will just remind everyone that well over 90% of cats are not a “breed” - including longhaired tabbies. We can all appreciate gorgeous cats like this one and not pretend that they must be purebreds.

Gig labor is often understood as the expression of digital disruption.
But our new study suggests a deeper story:
👉 The rise of platform labor is inseparable from the retreat of the welfare state.
