"When people get to do what they love most, rather than being forced to squander their lives on tasks that they do not care about, it takes a lot less to feel prosperous. By contrast, those who seek to profit at others’ expense find that no amount of material wealth is enough to satisfy them." #MutualAid #Commons #GiftEconomyhttps://crimethinc.com/2025/06/06/mutual-aid-the-commons-and-the-revolutionary-abolition-of-capitalism-revisiting-the-difference-between-mutual-aid-and-charity

Nine hundred sixty-eight kilometers of road that belongs to everybody. Six hundred two miles circling an entire island and coming back to a zero-kilometer marker outside Songshan Station in Taipei. Taiwan spent the mid-2000s deciding the coastline belonged to people moving at fifteen miles an hour. Cycling Route No. 1 opened December 30, 2015 — dedicated paths, quiet roads, rest stations every twenty kilometers. King Liu built the largest bicycle company on earth and didn't ride the loop until he was 73. Fifteen days. He did it again at 80 and cut it to twelve. He said he'd been an old man contemplating retirement and instead found a brand-new version of himself. It started with a movie. A film about a deaf young man riding around his own country lodged in the national imagination, and then a government poured concrete for a farmer on a secondhand bike. What's the path near you that somebody had to fight a budget line for? https://twp.ai/4huUQz #Cycling #Taiwan #BikeLife #PublicSpace #Infrastructure #Travel #SlowTravel #Photography #Nature #Commons #Community #Hope

One of the biggest problems we face is that we've forgotten how to talk about society. Outside the #mainstreaming agenda, conversations quickly collapse into individual opinions and personal choices. We struggle to think in terms of communities, the #commons and collective action. That's one of the deepest effects of #deathcult thinking. It trains us to see everything through the lens of individualism, making even simple #KISS ideas about cooperation and shared responsibility seem strange. We need to get back on our feet. #OMN #openweb #4opens

Discover the @LaSuiteCoop@mastodon.indie.host cooperative, which aims to build a digital commons around @lasuite from @dinum@amicale.net (France's Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs). 🎧️🎧️ With Bertille Mazari and @unteeem@mastodon.indie.host we discuss the birth of the project, its relationship with La Suite from DINUM, and their desire to bring together civil society actors to make it a societal project: doing without the GAFAM! 👉 https://www.projets-libres.org/en/podcast/71-commons-lasuite-coop-make-a-commons-around-la-suite-of-the-dinum/ #podcast #dinum #lasuite #lasuitecoop #opensource #commons #france

Clastres, la société et l’État : penser le social sans centralisation du pouvoir Chez Clastres, « société » ne veut pas dire État, ni simple communauté intime. Il s’agit d’une forme collective complète, organisée pour empêcher la concentration du pouvoir, la hiérarchie stable et la domination coercitive. #Clastres #anthropology #politics #commons #antiState Pierre Clastres est précieux parce qu’il oblige à sortir d’une alternative trop simple : soit la communauté… https://homohortus31.wordpress.com/2026/07/23/clastres-la-societe-et-letat-penser-le-social-sans-centralisation-du-pouvoir/

The last entry in the diary of the participative artistic construction site in the Ecosphere "Living Forest" near Rietberg is now published on the shelter website. An official opening and entries at https://1nitetent.com https://welcometomygarden.org and in the OpenStreetMap will follow (with the last I hope the mapping community will help, but perhaps wait until the linkable infotext is published)... https://shelter.apgw.de/?lang=en#2026_07_10 Tomorrow I and people who like to help start building my "Werkschau" presentation of this "Gestaltung" master's project in front of the Design faculty of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Bielefeld. Wednesday I have my exam. From friday evening to sunday evening (24th-26th july 2026) the documentation of "Common Shelter" can be visited at the Werkschau exhibition that is free and open for all. You are invited! You may also wish me luck for this last steps during my studies. You may wish us all luck that the idea of livable and loveable, free, public infrastructure spreads again. #Shelter #Art #Commons #DIY #Infrastructure #public #1nitetent #welcometomygarden #OpenStreetMap

Auf der Shelter-Webseite findet sich nun auch der letzte Bautagebuch-Eintrag der künstlerischen Mitmachbaustelle im "Living Forest" bei Ecosphere (nahe Rietberg). Eine offizielle Einweihung und Einträge bei https://1nitetent.com https://welcometomygarden.org und in der OpenStreetMap folgen noch (bei letzterem hoffe ich ja auf die Mapping-Community, aber eventuell wartet ihr, bis der verlinkbare Infotext erstellt ist)... https://shelter.apgw.de/#2026_07_10 Ab morgen baue ich an der Hochschule (mit Helfer*innen) meine Werkschau-Präsentation dieses Gestaltung-Master-Projektes. Am Mittwoch findet dort meine Prüfung statt. Von Freitag Abend bis Sonntag Abend (24.-26.7.2026) ist die Dokumentation zu "Common Shelter" im Rahmen der Werkschau am Fachbereich Gestaltung zu besichtigen. Ihr seid herzlich eingeladen! Ihr könnt mir auch die Daumen für diese letzten Schritte des Studium drücken, und uns allen dafür, dass sich die Idee von kostenlos nutzbarer und für alle zugänglicher, lebens- und liebenswerter, öffentlicher Infrastruktur auch bei uns wieder verbreitet. #Shelter #Kunst #Commons #Mitmachbaustelle #Infrastruktur #öffentlich #1nitetent #welcometomygarden #OpenStreetMap
