When I hear about Ron DeSantis's on-going feud with #Disney, I keep thinking about Pete Fraser's book, The Four Futures, a thought experiment in which he imagines how #ClimateChange and #Automation could play out to either increase our freedom and leisure or decrease them.

One outcome, which I think aligns with DeSantis's vision for the future, is essentially #fascism, based on an overreaching government that enforces so-called "traditional" values to scapegoat anyone who isn't a straight, white, cis, able-bodied, wealthy man while plundering the planet.

Another outcome is a sort of corporate authoritarianism in which our lives are essentially owned by our bosses and we have no real freedom or liberty but maybe we get a few fun consumer perks, if we're lucky, as we work ourselves to death in increasing precarity.

Regardless of who prevails, I think it should be obvious that no one, neither a governor nor a corporation, should have as much power as either #DeSantis or Disney have.

In the US, who you are is intimately tied into what you consume, and we have a very superficial of understanding people, in that we assume people present themselves in a way that they want to be perceived. I've had so many men, for instance, tell me that they "love the natural look" and hate it when women wear what they deem "too much" makeup. But my bare face isn't my choice—my choice would be flamboyant eyeshadows and raccoon eyeliner and colored lipsticks. Unfortunately, my #rosacea and #MeibomianGlandDysfunction prevent that, unless I want painful cyst outbreaks and scratched corneas.

#Consumerism gives us a false sense of #agency in our lives. If who you want to be is just a matter of purchasing power, then you can buy your identity. But those identities are out of reach for so many people—those with disabilities, those who are working class, those who are people of color, queer folks, etc. It also allows for #VictimBlaming, since it's a mindset that assumes no one is subject to exploitation, oppression, or othering in the ways we move through the world. We're all just reduced to people who buy things.

And that's such a sad, paltry existence. In 2020, we realized #AnotherWorldIsPossible, a world where people cared about #BlackLivesMatter, where we masked to protect #PeopleWithDisabilities, where we had time to slow down and create. Yes, #covid was and is still terrifying, but it also showed us an existence not centered on #consumerism.

Listening to a Conspirituality #podcast episode about how #consumerism in the United States has been framed as a form of agency, possibly the only expression of agency. Even though the episode hasn't mentioned the #pandemic, I can't help thinking about it in the context of #covid.

It's always been baffling to me how eating at restaurants and shopping at big box stores seems to be the epitome of the good life to so many people. Isn't life defined by so much more—the knowledge you acquire, the time you spend with loved ones and the impact your make on improving the world? But if in the US, consumerism is agency, then yes, sadly, to many people, suddenly not being a consumer would be not just a supposed impingement on their freedom but a mass existential crisis. Who am I if I can't consume? I guess rather than seeking deeper meaning, people would prefer to risk illness, death and disability from covid.

"The worst realities of our age are manufactured realities. It is therefore our task, as creative participants in the universe, to redream our world. The fact of possessing imagination means that everything can be redreamed. Each reality can have its alternative possibilities."
(Ben Okri's essay collection "A Way of Being Free")

Oftentimes, the same people 'liking' and boosting abolitionist content have a punitive mindset and are not unlike cops in their interactions with others.

Abolition isn't just a theory it doesn't apply solely to professional policing and incarceration.

A true commitment to abolition requires a commitment to practicing the principles and values of abolition in one’s everyday life.

"But don’t get me wrong. We are not abandoning our communities to violence. We don’t want to just close police departments. We want to make them obsolete.

We should redirect the billions that now go to police departments toward providing health care, housing, education and good jobs. If we did this, there would be less need for the police in the first place.

We can build other ways of responding to harms in our society."

#MariameKaba #AnotherWorldIsPossible

Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police.

Because reform won’t happen.

"Enough. We can’t reform the police. The only way to diminish police violence is to reduce contact between the public and the police." - Mariame Kaba

A cousin drops me back at the station to catch the 5pm Wellington-Auckland train, to arrive at Kikikikiroa at 8pm, where I take the 8.30pm train to Rotorua. Easy peasy. Price would be $, not $$, and meals would be available on board.

Massive savings in C02 - I emitted around 7.8kg for this trip. Much less stress.

#AnotherWorldIsPossible

How does modern society work:

...buying things because you don't have time to make things because you have to work to buy things and produce things that other people buy because they don't have time to make things because they have to work to buy things...

In your free time: buy things as an hobby to distract yourself from the fact that you have to work to buy things that you don't have time to do because you have to work...

Yes, @langscipress works well. Textbooks with 80.000 downloads. #HPSG handbook with 10.000 downloads in a year. If maximal distribution of knowledge is what you want, publish #Openaccess. Language Science Press is non-commercial. Neither authors nor readers pay.

If you want to set up a community run publishing house for your discipline, we are happy to help.

I think if we were to feel the full weight of everything #covid has taken from us, if we were to direct that #grief and rage at our leaders who abandoned us to isolation, disease and death, the power of those feelings would be unstoppable. We would tear down this world that oppresses us and try to build a new one.
