La prison est-elle obsolète ?

Read La prison est-elle obsolète ? by Angela Y. Davis

2003 book by Angela Davis

J’ai lu La prison est-elle obsolète en 2020 et je me rends compte que je n’ai jamais publié les notes de lecture faites dessus, je me suis contenté de republier l’avis de lecture. En deux phrases La prison est un système capitaliste, raciste, et sexiste. Pour s’en débarrasser, il faut arrêter de la prendre comme…

Styling internal and external links

Replied to Styling the external links on this site (Rach Smith’s digital garden)

i still don’t feel like writing a proper post, but wanted to share these notes from the last zoom call of the indieweb club. it was really nice to speak to people live and everyone was super smart and interesting, as usual!

a break from blogging?

after writing every day for a month, I feel like the blog came to a brutal stop recently. I didn’t even do the Europe2024 recap post, and let’s not even mention all the other kinds of blogging. I haven’t been interacting much with other people’s blogs either. there’s a pretty big change going on in…
