Clothing is not a trivial thing. It’s our imagined other self, our way of belonging to a subculture, a social class, a religion, an age group, or something else entirely.
Clothing is both the social glue that binds a community and the knife that divides it.

Turning 58 today. I was born in October 1967, when Leningrad suffered one of its worst floods. My city, like Venice, constantly battles water. The older I get, the more I miss it. As if Leningrad finally drowned in one of those endless floods.

Watching the news from here, it feels like the West is just collapsing. Once, back in 1989, I left the USSR and it seemed everything there would fall apart too, that civil war would break out, but back then there was still so much hope and even a kind of courage and playfulness.

Charlie Kirk: “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”

What is happening looks like a flat carnivalesque prison experiment, where people are cast as either oppressed prisoners or inhuman wardens. And yet human beings are profoundly complex, as Liliana Cavani has convincingly shown us. Besides, the prison experiment itself was a fraud.

When people design spaces—stages, squares, assemblies, or parliamentary halls—it is always a way of shaping our collective social imagination. Our citizenship is not so much the laws imposed upon us, but access to this very imagination.

In December, @davidgraeberinst.bsky.social goes to the Caribbean—into prison, to build the region’s only spirulina farm. It looks a bit crazy, but in fact it’s a very pragmatic solution.

Thinking about Carnival, clowns, and politics — about how much we all need a space to remake the social order, to begin again, to rid ourselves of the old bad rules: to burn them ritually, laugh at them, send them off into space as kites.

It would be great to put together a collection of films about Native Americans from different countries. This was one of the few mass and popular trends that were both anti-capitalist and anti-colonial in the second part of the 20th century.

Hannah Apel is right!
Everyone has been living on borrowed money for a long time now.
Robots will do the work (which is good), but we will have to fight over who owns the printed money: private banks or society (Michael Hudson: “money is a public good”).
