I really loved this! It reminded me of Hito Steyerl’s In Defense of the Poor Image, and some writing on experimental publishing by Paul Soulellis & lots more.
Just FYI, I’m also a big fan of Genderfail—Be Oakley is the writer/publisher and Genderfail is the press/project.
i love this, thanks for sharing! especially want to mull more on the ideas of public as relation among strangers and public as constituted through attention. feels like maybe the internet is eroding both in some sense [even while it believes it's bolstering them]
You can come over & use my printer any time.
This will make an excellent talk one day 🌻
you know where to find me :)
It was very much a public note to self. Really hope I can make the conference recurring 🙏🏻

You might then enjoy my recent letter to Paul on publishing as a form of public action!

Yes would be interesting to feel this out in relation to social media’s current upheavals.
Apologies if that seemed self-promotional—was just feeling we might already be in some kind of conversation.
oh not at all! just had a busy day, looking forward to reading it tomorrow
HOW DID YOU FIND ALL THOSE DOCS i love them all, esp the texts people want to send to their exes
