He did not smile, as we have already said, but he used to laugh; sometimes, indeed frequently, a bitter laugh. There is consent in a smile, while a laugh is often a refusal.
[Il ne souriait pas, nous l’avons dit, mais il riait; parfois, fréquemment même; d’un rire amer. Il y a du consentement dans le sourire, tandis que le rire est souvent un refus.]Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Book 0, ch. 1, sec. 4 (1.0.1.4) (1869) [tr. Unknown, Authorized (1871)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/hugo-victor/85160/

I recently shared a post calling out mystics, trying to fill spaces I deflate, but I am self-aware enough that I can be guilty, too.

How to (en)code #care in a careless world? I am very proud to be able to present our Special Issue "Refusal and the Computational City - From (De)Coding the Machine to (En)Coding Care", co-edited with the wonderful @NiloufarVadiati, and published with Digital Geography and Society!
From tracing fibre optic cables to critically #mapping #platforms, it is a wonderful collection filled with fierce and collaborative #refusal practices, strategies, and collectives against #bigtech. If you're looking for some hope in these dark times, all the articles are shining a light on and celebrating forms of (digital) care and collectivity!
Please share widely!!

THEY WON'T BE COMPLICIT
In Greece, dockworkers at Piraeus Port and their union ENEDEP refuse to unload weapons from the Cosco Shipping Pisces.
They declared they won’t be complicit in Israel’s massacre of Palestinians.

What it’s like to be in school, trying not to use AI? Some very valuable reporting from @nitishpahwa.com here -- and as @hypervisible said on Bluesky, a good article to send to people who say that students are going to use AI no matter what.
"[F]or all the money pouring into classroom A.I., and for all the hand-wringing around Kids These Days whose critical thinking functions and overall brain activity may be atrophying thanks to overreliance on ChatGPT, there has been a lot less public focus on the students who don’t want to have A.I. baked into their education—who wish to make the most of their schooling, and say no to the tech on principle."

"In early 20th-century #Kerala, the #Asari (carpenter) #caste #resisted #colonial and #Brahminical #systems by deliberately ignoring opportunities offered by colonial #institutions.
This act of #refusal was a #strategy against being shaped into compliant subjects within a #hierarchical order."
