My latest post on what I think of where we are and where we're going. Please share if it touches a nerve or pisses you off.
How We Tell the Story Together
The story metaphor goes a ways back in the history of any and every culture, but her Whose Story Is This? makes Rebecca Solnit one of the best messengers for the importance of it, especially here in our world where it's estimated that 5.65 billion people have mobile Internet connections.

This really is a special essay about us and our time.
OMG, did I write a Taylor Swift/George Orwell essay yesterday?
Had a fun time writing about bread and circuses vs. bread and roses and whether in crises we're allowed to have fun. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/circuses-vs-...

People are so excited that we might be on the verge of civil war. I’m not. I’m a basic bitch who likes basic things like pumpkin spice lattes and not getting shot at in the grocery store.

For more than a century, virtually every corporate-productivity fad has assumed “that employees can be managed as if they were machines,” Arthur C. Brooks writes. The real solution to happiness and productivity might just be to “treat people as people”:

This is wonderful, beautiful, inspiring. I had not known enough about Joanna Macy. I do, however, subscribe to Rebecca Solnit's Meditations in an Emergency. You might want to consider that...she is one of our most important (and talented) non-fiction writers these days.

In Honor of Joanna Macy, 1929-2025

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

I get this. What needs to be considered is even a hint of violence is what these folks want. We gotta figure out how to do this in a way that won't draw out the storm troopers and thugs.
