  4. Today we – members of #RhythmsOfResistance circles #קסמבה (Tel Aviv Yaffa) and #סמבלולי (Haifa) –were drumming outside military jail #10, were they hold our friends who #refuse to enlist.
    For more media and info (mostly Hebrew) about the demonstration today and #refusal to serve in #idf, see the #תסרבו tag, or is.gd/tesarvu

  5. 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!!

  7. 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.

  8. 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."

  9. "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."

  11. #JDVance would be ”shocked” if #DonaldTrump accepted the #Polish offer of #nuclerSharing. Does #America fear #Russia? Do they act in a way that only helps them? What about their allies?

    Even if it wasn’t possible to incorporate #Poland into the programme, the refusal could have been made in a more diplomatic way, in my opinion.

  13. Staggering stupidity. There is another hurricane (just changed to Category 5) barreling towards Florida
    & additional FEMA funds may not be available due to partisan politics from Mike Johnson??? How will the Republicans explain THAT to their own party's affected voters? Horrendous situation for those needing help from last week's hurricane & this new one.

  14. Some classicists got together and read my not very classics-leavened Bacchae book, A Feminist Theory of Refusal (Harvard 2021). This - and my reply, “A Method in the Madness” — is the result, for those interested. #classics #feministtheory #politicaltheory #refusal online.ucpress.edu/ca/issue/41
