Wow, people write this level of crap and other people seemingly believe it, even though there isn't a solid argument to be found in it and it deeply misunderstands the tragedy. forbes.com/sites/georgebradt…

Just a friendly reminder that replanting your own seeds and seed swapping is an act of agroecological resistance to the corporate machines that want to own all of the genetic strains and make you dependent

The lack of critical thinking is reaching new highs in some corners, including from really intelligent people. Is it the pressure for homophily? The assumption of it? When you see it in developers, one wonders if their code works with that much resistance to rigor/logic.
Thanks for this very phenomenal celebration. In another universe of space-time, I make cheesecake for a living. :) @NurtureGirl @melissapierce @zippy314 - and for the photo proof and extra thanks to @deanna
Happy 50th to @thrivable! With the best cheesecake I’ve ever had!! instagr.am/p/ClpqWkNNg-q/

The term 'degrowth' is uninspiring because it uses a negative definition not a positive one. It is very hard to be inspired by a negative. Imagine if we framed weekends as 'not-working time'. Also: growth is not bad. Unchecked exponential growth is. See: growing a limb vs cancer.

As I prep for the first pilot parts program call, I'm contemplating the way our parts manifest in the outside world. If we haven't done the inner work of purposefully aligning our parts, we risk undermining ourselves by replicating the patterns we want to change.

" I can't claim to know where intuition comes from, but I know that if you are embodied, it's a lot faster, and it's a lot clearer." @beandlive on how important it is to be "self sovereign," especially within groups (while presenting at Thrivable Society Group Dynamics salon).
