Festival of the Commons
I went to the first academic conference of my life and call me dramatic but it was such an emotional and profound experience for me, I’m literally bursting with emotions and that’s always a good reason to write. So I heard of this wonderful conference called SASE (The Society for the Advancement of Socioeconomics). I started following this organization and I saw that for 2022 the conference theme was going to be super intriguing. It was “Fractious Connections: Anarchy, Activism, Coordination ...

Introduction to The Dawn of Everything
I just finished one of the best books of my life, and oh the inspiration it gave me! I think everyone should read it, especially those that have a thing for history because apparently, we’ve been getting it all wrong all this time. And it’s one of those things that once you’ve already read it, it all becomes so obvious but it never occurred to you to question the hegemonic narrative that we’ve been taught to believe. Well, I know not everyone is gonna read this 500+ page book so I’m going to ...

LibraryDAO
I’ve just started with a new project or course or whatever you want to call it with a dear friend. Looks like it’s gonna be a structured way of going through a journey of self-discovery that we had already embarked on. So we’re very excited. It’s Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way.” I had an initial resistance to the spiritual aspect of the book but with several recommendations, I decided to give it a try because she doesn’t force any way of thinking on you and what she says is pretty reasonab...

Neoliberal Insanity
Here is a paper proposal that I recently wrote. I gotta say there’s definitely room for improvement, there’s a lot more to learn about every aspect of this topic but it’s a bit of a rushed start since I had a deadline.“Capitalist realism insists on treating mental health as if it were a natural fact, like weather (but, then again, weather is no longer a natural fact so much as a political-economic effect). In the 1960s and 1970s, radical theory and politics (Laing, Foucault, Deleuze and Guatt...

Fires & Friends
The concept of fire has been occupying my mind lately. Maybe actually always. Fire has a thing where it manages to really captivate your attention, it’s a primitive feeling. I remember being mesmerized by anything burning as a child. The fires that warm us, the ones that frighten us, the ones that enlighten us, lead the way, the ones that connect us, the ones that drive us, the ones that feed us and the ones that consume us. I see fire, candle fires, bonfires, campfires, hearts on fire, fores...
