Commisisoned as the ninth stand-alone publication in the Groundings series, this short and polemical essay was co-authored with Italian activist-theorist Valeria Graziano, and Croatian activist and libraraian Marcell Mars. Through a discussion of their collaborative project, Pirate Care Syllabus, and the software and data storage systems that run its digital interface, we explain the connection between a collectivist politics of usership and a meta-politics of the simple, and offer a first sketch of what we have started to call "public co-learning tools".
