The Fall 2016 Abolish Work Book Tour – Wrap Up Post (Part 2)

You can find part one here. Towards NYC Where we last left our intrepid slacker (that’s me) I was nearly stranded in Boston after a last minute switch in housing. Ah, the joys of traveling! Okay, I’m dramatizing a bit but it wasn’t pleasant. In this post I’ll try to get through the rest of…

The Fall 2016 Abolish Work Book Tour – Wrap Up Post (Part 1)

Introduction So I obviously never did that daily journal about my book tour. On one hand this means that I had a lot less writing to do over the course of the tour but…it also means I have to write a significantly longer post now. That’s the breaks, I suppose. This’ll be a pretty straightforward…

Strauss I was struck by this passage: American towns and cities aren’t really built for lots of free time: Public spaces tend to be small islands in seas of private property, and there aren’t many places without entry fees where adults can…

The Ecology of Play, by Grant A. Mincy

Extra special note regarding this piece: You can find this article in my book (here) and I am specifically taking this text from Grant’s recent re-posting of it on his own blog, Appalachian Son.

Being Lazy with Headlines isn’t a Sign of High Intelligence

The way the media often reports on statistics, even ones that might reinforce some sort of cognitive bias that I have tends to irk me. In this case The Independent and the Research Digest for The British Psychological Society both reported on a study with a ridiculously small sample size (60 people) and said it…

Are Jobs Inherently Exploitative?

  Getting back on my Abolish Work to-do list I read Freedom From Jobs by Elliot Sperber and was intrigued by much of it. I’ll start with those parts I find intriguing and convincing before I move into the parts I thought were questionable. Early on in the article Sperber makes this remark which I…

Post-Script: A Post-Interview with a Former Postal Worker

Nick’s Notes: I was originally going to put this in my Abolish Work collection but it didn’t end up making it! On May 12, 2016 I interviewed my long-time friend Sam about his experiences at the post office, his thoughts on work and anti-work, this is what happened. Nick Ford: What’s your name and what…

Passive Resistance in Work Abolition, by Kenyon Del Valle

Nick’s Notes: This is one of the few pieces that didn’t make the final cut for my Abolish Work collection. Kenyon was kind enough to let me publish it here instead. Passive Resistance In Work Abolition Malcolm X once said, “You can’t hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree.” Here, he…

Patreon Update for 10/3/16

Personal Update(s) / Introduction I don’t know when I’ll have spare time in my tour for sure and especially not this much of it. Right now I’m in an ice cream cafe (yeah, I know) and I’ve got an hour or so to spare. I figure while we’re still in the early part(s) of October,…
