The tics are free if you already give GEO money, or if you're "living lightly." and available for a donation of your choosing to everyone else. And it's in cyberspace, so there's no excuse to not come join the fun.

Doing a GEO Get-Together with Nathan Schneider where we talk about solidarity things & writing. Please join us if you can: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/geo-get-together-with-cadwell-turnbull-and-nathan-schneider-tickets-57938915857

Join @cadwellsocialcoop and @ntnsndr for a discussion of solidarity economics and the need for co-op narratives.

Schneider is the author of Everything For Everyone: The Radical Tradition that Is Shaping the Next Economy.

Turnbull's recent story in The Verge, "Monsters Come Howling in Their Season" imagines a future solidarity commonwealth in the Virgin Islands which uses AI to combat the effects of climate change. His debut novel The Lesson is out in June.
