Inspired by Ann Rigney’s work on Remembering Activism, I put the “Internationalism Calendar” on my Christmas wish list. January is called ‘seeds of hope’ and details the story of protests against UK weapon production for Indonesia in the context of the struggle for independence in East Timor.

This! I bought a refurbished 13 mini last year (to replace my ancient SE, which I didn't want to give up precisely because of the size).

Bring back small phones! This is my iphone 13 mini. It is a perfectly-sized phone. But it's going to die - in a few years, Apple will stop supporting it w/updates. Yet there are now NO new smartphones to buy on the market that fit the human hand. www.ft.com/content/6332...

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
