  1. RE: social.coop/@scottjenson/11635

    Oh. so this is the thread people have been talking about.

    jfc.

    look, i only know of Dare from Twitter & the tech scene. so that’s almost 20 years now (i joined there in 2007). Dare is like the Black unicorn of techbrolandia. he was never the guy to bring visibility to what’s newsworthy. he’s always been around to amplify techbros.

    you know who was followed for what was newsworthy?

    ME.

    i was in the top 5 of most influential accounts during the #ArabSpring & #OccupyWallStreet

    🧵…

  2. TWITTER EMBRACED OEMBED EARLY BUT NOT COMPLETELY. i think that by 2009-2010 we were already seeing embedded videos and thumbnails of articles but, curiously, not tweets.

    i spent the whole year of 2011 ―the year of #ArabSpring #Syntagma #Acampadas #Walkerville #Bloombergville and #OccupyWallStreet― writing many a QT on tweets where i was translating quotes from many EU sources still somewhat geoblocked in USA, especially BBC News, El País, L’Express and Al-Jazeera… 🧵

  4. for those wondering about #Wisconsin, two words: #LABOR #UNIONS

    here’s tangential mini-thread i wrote about how Wisconsin was one of the big stories of 2011 during the #ArabSpring and how without Winconsin’s #Walkerville, there would have never been a #Bloombergville nor an #OccupyWallStreet.

    and wanna give a special shout out to Wisconsin’s teachers’ unions; who relentlessly took on the Koch brothers and won.

  5. CW: re: US pol, some thoughts on why people aren't rising up, thread

    (1/?) The common answer to "Why aren't more people in the US protesting?" is that everyone is tired. I can relate to this. After being radicalized by #OccupyWallStreet, fighting the first #Trump administration, and then attempting to survive the on-going #covid19 #pandemic, I am exhausted. I want to dig deeper into this exhaustion, though, because so often, the rejoiner I hear to "People in the US are tired" is very dismissive and unhelpful. The response usually berates these hoards of tired people for being tired and expects some combination of #shame and #guilt and #horror at the #coup taking place under Trump and #Musk to rouse them. It's an understandable but ineffective response, and if we want to be effective at building a better world and opposing #fascism, we're going to have to take a different approach.

  6. [Masters Thesis] #Degrowth Aesthetics in #Solarpunk, #TheDispossessed, & #OccupyWallStreet

    by Andrew Gabriel Rose, 2024

    "This thesis identifies and explores aesthetic strategies in art, literature, and social activism that inspire the desirability of degrowth economic paradigms in post-industrial imaginaries. These imaginaries, composed of cultural images, narratives, and representations, shape collective perceptions, expectations, and understandings. Drawing examples from The Dispossessed by #UrsulaKLeGuin, stylistic elements from the emerging solarpunk genre, and practical demonstrations of direct action achieved by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the study explores how artists, scholars, and activists can present beautiful or compelling alternatives to dominant narratives of growth and consumption using targeted aesthetic strategies. A comparative analysis of approaches found in these examples highlights the competitiveness of narratives and practices that prioritize #sustainability, #equity, and well-being over the prevailing logic of endless economic expansion. By synthesizing insights from these diverse sources, this study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how aesthetics can be leveraged to promote degrowth as a viable and desirable economic alternative. Additionally, it seeks to inform future interventions by providing concrete examples and strategies for promoting degrowth in ways that resonate with diverse audiences, ultimately helping a sustainable and equitable society become more imaginable."

  13. Why a Decade of Protests Didn’t Lead to Revolution

    znetwork.org/znetarticle/why-a

    " A wide-ranging exploration of protest forms, ‘anti-politics’, failures of both Leninism and horizontalism, the roles of popular culture and social media, etc., from the Seattle-era US to the 'Arab Spring,' Brazil, Ukraine, Chile and Hong Kong. The author concludes that representative structures are less likely to be coopted by the right than wide-open ones, which suggests that our challenge is to create organizationally-sophisticated participatory structures that can transcend the problems of both. The Brazilian MST, which he describes as "hierarchical but very democratic” is cited briefly as one example."

  19. Tonight at 7pm ET we're hosting organizer and filmmaker Marisa Holmes in conversation with media studies scholar @ntnsndr! In "Organizing Occupy Wall Street," Holmes analyzes the movement as a core organizer involved from start to finish. She reveals how #OWS organized in practice, which experiments were most successful, and what future generations can learn.

    Register for this free event at firestorm.coop/events/3097-mar (link in bio), where you can also pick up a copy of “Organizing Occupy Wall Street." Can't make the event? No worries! Register and we'll send you a recording once it's posted to our YouTube channel.

    "[M]ovement history at its best: meticulous, direct, and expansive in revolutionary scope. Providing a crucial corrective to all too many reductive Occupy narratives, Holmes emphasizes the movement's context in international struggles and centers it's all-too-overlooked form as a horizontalist, richly lived radical experiment. This is the Occupy we need to remember; these are the practices we must carry forward."
    —Natasha Lennard, author of "Being Numerous: Essays on Non-Fascist Life"
