woke up this morning thinking about candle powered computers. light a candle to turn it on, put out the candle to turn it off. it probably smells really nice.

we don't intend to ever get very big. my dream is many many small coops, each tailored to their members' needs, collaborating with each other in networks of mutual aid and solidarity.

if you're considering starting a new enterprise i strongly encourage you to start a coop. if that's interesting please reach out to us! we're also giving a talk on the subject tonight at 7pm EST https://gamecenter.nyu.edu/event/nyu-game-center-lecture-series-presents-andy-wallace-and-ramsey-nasser/

i spent the bulk of the last year getting a worker-owned technology cooperative off the ground! all my paid professional work is now done through the EMMA Technology Cooperative

EMMA is me, @andymakes Ivan Safrin and Gwen Pasquarello. it's an experiment in non-hierarchical consensus-based labor organization, and it has been an absolute thrill to work in a way that aligns with my principles for the first time!

@selfsame this was... such a journey
