Frost isn’t just frost. It’s part of a system.
This reflection starts with a frosty morning in Canberra—but ends up somewhere much bigger.
On systems, survival, and finding the spaces we can thrive in—slowly, carefully, on our own terms. ❄️
Best, Jax

Ever thought about a fridge as a living system? Me neither—until I did. Turns out, it’s a perfect metaphor for how our environments shape us. 🌱
Plus, a special offer to map your living systems with me.

🌼 Ever seen a digger driver wave at a toddler? It’s more than cute — it’s a glimpse of a living system in motion. I wrote about that, and some other things. Full moon edition’s just out 🌕 shorturl.at/5apZi

Nature has survived and flourished for billions of years through principles and systems that protect all parts of the whole.

When we stray from these roots, we suffer from imbalance and inequity across our organizations and our societies. Poverty is a symptom of unnatural leadership.

Speaking of the collapse of societies, as one might, I rediscovered this reading list of ~65 books a friend and I assembled 1.5 years ago, when times were simpler. (Didn't seem that way at the time, but Events Have Transpired.)

🚀 New on Toward Gen2200

“I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess.”

Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto shaped my ideas on tech, identity and power. Re-reading today—International Women’s Day—it is right for our time. AI, labour and the fight for imagination. 🌿🤖

Queer, Here and Not Going Anywhere

At 6, I left a love note under my mother’s pillow. It was for a boy. I thought I was straight.

Fast forward through queer 90s Sydney—Mardi Gras, activism, HIV/AIDS, drag, chosen family—to now, late 50s, updating my pronouns. We need visibility more than ever.

At six years old, I left a love note under my mother’s pillow. It was for a "sissy" boy at school I liked. I thought I was straight. Read on for why I’m updating my pronouns

First post, Blue Sky style: What's a social media world without algorithms? I can hardly remember. Is it better—or just different?
