"One question that I was interested in unpacking [in Carceral Capitalism] is what it means to cage people. What does it mean to have a world where if there’s some kind of social rupture that needs to be repaired, prisons are offered as the social solution? If we agree that people have certain basic needs—the need for meaningful activity, time in nature, the ability to socialize with people, the ability to work towards something in their lives—to me then, prisons seem anti-life." -- Jackie Wang
So, who are some good people to follow on mastodon?
Hi fellows, is this the #book of the month for the reading group?
Jackson Rising: The Struggle for Economic Democracy and Black Self-Determination in Jackson, Mississippi
It will be interesting to see if we see many new members here and on other mastodon instances due to the Cambridge analytica scandal. The fact is for a small fee you can get full control over your data!
“‘Cambridge Analytica and Facebook have the same business model,’ says Balkan. ‘If Cambridge Analytica can sway elections and referenda with a relatively small subset of Facebook’s data, imagine what Facebook can and does do with the full set.’”

Got the Mad Max Fury Road soundtrack on loop. Brothers in Arms is an amazing track that gets me every time.
How do You track Your #books reading? Is there any good alternative to #Goodreads?
Idea: a Friday #recap of the best mastodon interactions you've had during the week. Summarize and link to the conversation, and add #hashtags you might have forgotten at the time.
#Curation is a very manual process on Mastodon, for better or worse, so let's develop some habits to make #searching easier.
Who can You trust?
Basic #book about distributed #trust and how it is changing our world and our economy. #Blockchain topic is developed in two chapters
