Reflecting on such a great install week with @aypanca @wes_bruce_ @kurosh.yahyai and @spicy.picon — so grateful to work with such kind and generous artists and coworkers.

My amazing friend and playworker Jill Wood and her team have been doing playwork in Minecraft for the past months! Check our their webinar tomorrow, Wednesday June 17th 1pm PST - 3pm Central (US) - 4pm EST - 9pm Central (UK) - 6am Australia (link in bio to the Playwork Podcast for an interview and links)

Grace Lee Boggs, the Detroit-based community activist who died in 2015 at the age of 100, urged us to transform ourselves to transform the world. This week, I have engaged in and witnessed hard work in both these areas of self- and institution-transformation. The work requires, as Boggs wrote, “protracted struggle” and not just a “D-day replacement of one set of rulers with another.” “We are creating a revolutionary alternative to the counter-revolutionary and inhuman policies of the U.S. government, but we are not subversives. We are making the leap forward in the precious human qualities of social responsibility and creativity that is now necessary and possible in the evolution of the human species. We are creating the kind of global citizenship Martin Luther King Jr. said every nation needs to create in order to preserve the best in its traditions. We are struggling to change this country because we love it.”

Didn’t everyone have a crush on Walter Benjamin when they were 21? #collegenotebooks
