Bitcoin & Blackness: Decoding the Technocene
<p>Whatever the hell bitcoin and blockchain are (we have the same questions!) their promise is clear: decentralized economies where the consumer-creator is in control.</p> <p><br></p> <p>But as we consider how these technologies spawn from and support certain paradigms of violence, we’re left wondering… is Web3 just the upper octave of our present cyber landscape? Do they offer salvation from the algorithmic anti-blackness of Big Tech, or is it more complicated<strong>? </strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>This month, Jon Jon welcomes <a href="//twitter.com/camothefamo">Cameron Flowers</a>, CEO of <a href="//floreolabs.org">Floreo Labs</a>, to help us understand these technologies and approach these questions. Cam trains remote communities of future tech leaders and incubates innovative, community-driven technology initiatives. He's an artist, engineer, creative-technologist, and adjunct faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at Lehman College in the Bronx.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Keywords: bitcoin, innovation, protocols, value, design, chains, technology, problem solving</p> <p><br></p> <p>Please become a monthly supporter of abolitionISH—100% pays our guests, producer, and social media director!—at <a href="https://patreon.com/abolitionish" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/abolitionish</a>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>AbolitionISH: a podcast at the end of the world is a black politics and culture podcast made possible by Producer WyLee (@whoswylee) and Host Jon Jon Moore (@incivilitea). </p>

Old Fields, New Orchards: Surviving Poetics with Ra/Malika Imhotep
<p>CW: This episode contains mentions of sexual violence.</p> <p><br></p> <p>“I would like my work to do two things: be as demanding and sophisticated as I want it to be, and at the same time be accessible in a sort of emotional way to lots of people, just like jazz. That's a hard task. But that's what I want to do." — Toni Morrison</p> <p><br></p> <p>"What are the methods... of holding this soft, adaptive, Black feminine flesh thing, this surviving thing. How do you write about it?" — Ra/Malika Imhotep</p> <p><br></p> <p>***</p> <p><br></p> <p>How does capitalism live in our bodies? How did an interest in Ghanaian hip-hop and Pan-Africanism lead Ra/Malika Imhotep to New Orleans, to study and write about Black femininity, queer embodiment, & the performance of labor? </p> <p><br></p> <p>This month, Jon Jon welcomes <a href="https://linktr.ee/RaMalikaImhotep" target="_blank">Ra/Malika Imhotep</a>, Ph.D, a Black feminist writer, performance artist, and cultural worker from Atlanta, Georgia. Ra/Malika's debut collection of poetry, <a href="https://redhen.org/book/gossypiin/" target="_blank">gossypiin</a>, was published by Red Hen Press in April 2022. Ra/Malika's intellectual and creative work tends to the relationships between queer embodiment, Black femininity, vernacular culture, & the performance of labor. </p> <p><br></p> <p>In this conversation, Jon Jon asks them to share their ongoing journey through academic, artistic, and ancestral spaces, and how these spaces have informed their being and creation. And Ra/Malika gives us so much—on self-importance, refusing the demand to translate interiority, what Atlanta taught them about slavery, and why they "want the language to be felt," no matter what they're writing. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Keywords: gossip, peaches, dysfunction, cotton root bark, imposition, atlanta, barbara christian, reproductive labor, 1987</p> <p><br></p> <p>Please become a monthly supporter of abolitionISH—100% pays our guests, producer, and social media director!—at <a href="https://patreon.com/abolitionish" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/abolitionish</a>.</p> <p><br></p> <p>AbolitionISH: a podcast at the end of the world is a black politics and culture podcast made possible by Producer WyLee (NYC/JHB, @whoswylee) Host Jon Jon Moore (CDMX @incivilitea) and Social Media Director Bug (PHL, @hoetentiial).</p>
