Our collective task is not to save tech but to save us, our world.
The resonant computing manifesto is too focused on means and not on ends. And that's basically the core issue. The belief in technological determinism.

December 7th, 1941 the Japanese decimated the US fleet in Pearl Harbor.
How far we’ve come from the disaster of Pearl Harbor to being the bad guys murdering fisherman on little boats in the Caribbean.

The Sixth Window. The Morning of the Feast of Saint Nicholas. The turret clock in St Thomas's had just rung five, and everyone in Watercress Lane was still asleep, apart from a young mouse in Medewort Cottage.

In these troubled times, nature will never let you down...
In these troubled times, take 2 minutes out and sit by the #weedypond
I'm still waiting for the main influx of Fieldfares & Redwings here, which will radically change the activity around the pond, when they begin to bathe in large numbers.

Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost

December 5, Eve of St. Nicholas. It is also Krampsnacht. The Krampus is a monster who seeks out children. He is the dark assistant to St. Nicholas. Celebrated in parts of Europe with parades and "runs" where townsfolk are chased in the streets by costumed monsters.

Wow. That is quite something to see in writing.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Winter. The season of the Cailleach in Celtic culture.
The Cailleach is not a figure of fear but a presence to honor. She teaches that winter’s austerity has purpose, that the world—and our inner lives—require this quieting. As she moves across mountains and moors, her touch brings clarity:
