Join my membership program, Continuity Group

As you can see, this site is primarily a place for dispatches, podcast episodes and event listings to live, and for people who are curious about my various projects to find the information they’re looking for. But from the start, I’ve also intended it to be a repository for practical tools and experiments concerned with how we might learn together, care for one another, and build greater collective capacity in difficult times — and maybe even, therefore, a way of convening a community that’s interested in pursuing these goals in common.

The Continuity Group is the membership program I’ve designed to let us do this work together.

I think of the Continuity Group less as a subscription than as a compact between us. Your support lets me continue working full-time on projects that are to the greatest possible degree independent from institutional fashion and the demands of the attention economy, and make the results freely available to everyone. I can keep up a program of reading, thinking, writing and practical experimentation, producing things to be taken up and adapted by whoever finds them useful. And I can keep doing what I’ve always done: using this shared affinity to forge links, wherever possible, between those individuals and groups working toward parallel ends.

Membership is $50 a year, or the equivalent in your local currency, and you can cancel it at any time, for any reason or none. There is no expectation whatsoever on my part that you agree with or endorse everything I produce here, still less that you play the role of a passive audience. In return for your membership, you can expect occasional notes on work in progress, requests to join me in the development of work I think you’d find useful or interesting, and invitations to gatherings with the others undertaking this journey together.

Too many of the things we invest our care in are built to flourish only for a brief moment in fashion, during a particular season of life, or in the happenstance constellation of a particular group of friends, lovers, comrades and interlocutors; our very politics commend to us the contingent and the projectual. I believe it’s now time for us to consider, instead, the design of lightweight armatures that can endure under pressure: systems and practices that have just enough structure to serve as a trellis for the new, to preserve our commitments to dignity and justice, and to persist over the longer term.

If any of this resonates with you, and you’d like to help sustain my work along these lines, please consider joining Continuity Group. You have my heartfelt and enduring gratitude.
