$1,500/Month + Morocco Summit: Join the Plumia Fellowship to Shape the Internet’s Future

What Does It Mean to Be a Citizen of the Internet — Not Just a User?

We’ve spent decades moving our lives online — work, friendships, love, family calls, secret group chats that keep us sane. But what if we started seeing the internet not just as a tool, but as a place?

A city, a village, a homeland — made of servers, but lived in by all of us.

The internet is the biggest piece of shared infrastructure humans have ever built. Yet so far, we’re still squatting in it like renters, not residents.

What if we treated it like home?

What would we fix?

What would we protect?

What would we invent that’s never been tried?

The Plumia Fellowship: Imagining Our Digital Civilisation

This is the spirit behind the Plumia Fellowship, launching today. It’s a 3-month programme for writers, artists, researchers, musicians — anyone ready to roll up their sleeves and help shape the foundations of a civilisation that lives online.

And this isn’t new.

Plumia — and its founder, Lauren Razavi — have been pushing this movement forward for years. They’ve been asking the hard questions about digital nationhood, portable rights, and what a truly borderless world could look like. I love their work, and I’m proud to share it because I believe it matters.

What’s on the table:

• $1,500/month to create

• An all-expenses-paid trip to present at the annual summit in Morocco

• Distribution to Plumia and SafetyWing’s audience of 500,000+ curious humans

They want your weird essays about digital nationhood.

Your sketches for new online rituals.

Your frameworks for decentralised governance that don’t feel like a Discord free-for-all.

Your poems about what it means to belong to a place made of code.

The Internet Is Ours to Build

We don’t have to just inherit the platforms we’re given — we can remake them.

We can build the stories and myths for our borderless world.

We can lay better foundations than the ones we were handed.

If you believe the internet is more than rented pixels and doomscrolling — if you want to help shape how we live, create, and gather here — this is your invitation.

Apply now

Bring your art, your ideas, your impossible questions.

Let’s figure out what it means to be at home anywhere in the world.

Keep roaming,
