It is time for a new special issue of the Pervasive Labour Union zine! This issue, prepared by the collective Precademics 85.42.1, brings experiences of precarity in Greek academia to the fore.
"This is an attention-seeking act of Greek academic unions to make public and visible the precarious conditions they find themselves in. Far from being an academic aporia by our Greek colleagues, this is the past and future of academia itself." Leandros Kyriakopoulos

New essay: Seven theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS
Recently, @rra and I have been working on an essay highlighting questions about the #Fediverse and how these are getting entangled with #FLOSS practices. From software production to structure and governance within alternative social media, online communities and politics.
The text follows a multi theses model, to map the different things we've been looking at and publish the current state of our research.
It is the closing chapter of a new publication from INC/Transmediale (https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/the-eternal-network)
PDF of the text: https://monoskop.org/images/c/cc/Mansoux_Aymeric_Abbing_Roel_Roscam_2020_Seven_Theses_on_the_Fediverse_and_the_Becoming_of_FLOSS.pdf
Feedback welcome. We're planning to publish an online version with more references!

Tomorrow at Varia we will be having an evening of documentary watching, thoughtful debate and musical performance!
We will be screening the documentaries "Alles Flex?" and "Call me Intern", both of which reflect on the devastating consequences caused by the ongoing flexibilization of both housing and work. To further clarify and present these topics, Abel Heijkamp, one of the filmmakers responsible for "Alles Flex?" and member of Bondprecaire Woonvormen, has kindly agreed to be present for a Q&A and conversation.
The second part of the program will be secured by Sam Kreuk, who will be presenting his solo project, City Dragon.
Time: 17h30
Location: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam)

Next week during #transmediale @liaizon @lidia_p @320x200 and me are hosting a few workshops to introduce people to the fediverse.
"Welcome to the Federation" is a workshop and Q&A session for people new to or already part of the #Fediverse. We will cover concepts such as the server-client model; on-line federation; discussions of different servers and communities; and last but not least allow those new to the idea to sign up on the Fediverse. The workshops also deal with how to run or join a Fediverse community, the challenges of federated social networking, and the wider impact the Fediverse has on free software production and its culture. The workshops are meant to be informal and semi-structured to allow for different levels of engagement and experience from the participants, but will nonetheless offer a high level of understanding."
Hello @northwoods @gilfuser and @eris and welcome to post.lurk.org!
Here are some very useful guides prepared by @cassolotl to help you get started on using #Mastodon:
Toot Privacy:
https://dev.glitch.social/@cassolotl/99942218361780184
How to find posts on other instances that haven't reached post.lurk.org yet:
https://dev.glitch.social/@cassolotl/99942232570954068
You can broadcast content across the #fediverse by using hashtags. This is also a great way to discover new content: go to the search bar and type, for example, #ornitology. All posts containing that hashtag should now show up in a new column. If you are using the multi column interface this hashtag can also be pinned using the options on the top right of the column.
Consider writing an #introductions post so people interested in you or your work can find you!
You can invite people to lurk using invite codes: https://post.lurk.org/invites
We're not using vanilla mastodon but rather the Hometown mod by @darius (https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown ) which allows for local-only posts, meaning they don't federate in to the wider network.
For questions/issues get in touch with the mod team: @320x200 @rra and me!
Happy lurking!
A Future with No Future: Depression, the Left, and the Politics of Mental Health
Mikkel Krause Frantzen
"Maybe a good place to start, then, with regards to the politics of depression, is to collectivize suffering, externalize blame, communize care. At this point, the question of responsibility returns in all its force. The neoliberal responsibilization of the depressed subject must be rejected, and, also, replaced by an idea of collective responsibility."
Adapted from Mikkel Krause Frantzen's book "Going Nowhere, Slow", "A Future with No Future: Depression, the Left, and the Politics of Mental Health" stresses the urgency of repoliticizing mental health within a neoliberal capitalist context that seeks to individualize, pathologize and cultivate guilt, thus obscuring systemic readings of depression.
