Completed rewatching S01 of Andor tonight. Ready for season 2! 💫
Finished listening to The Martian Contingency by @maryrobinettekowal.com 📚 I love all the (good) characters, and it is so cool to read about “real life” issues in space! As always her narration is top notch. This one was sexier 🌶 than the others… but I guess it is set in the ’70s 😉

Oh man tonight at archery was over-rotating and pulled something in my neck 😬 🏹
Oh! Just got the notification I was accepted to Birken Monastery for a week-long retreat in September! The last time I was there was in 2019, just before we went to Iki Island. Been really looking forward to going back. 🧘
Congrats to Graham Culbertson of Everyday Anarchism who completed his nearly 2 year long chapter-by-chapter podcast mini-series David Graeber’s Debt. 👏👏👏 I have been waiting for the completion of the series to start my own re-read of this excellent book. Anyone want to join? 🙋♂️📚
I know I said things are finally settled down since the move, but there is so much inspirational stuff happening in my various communities that I had to take a quiet walk this morning just to process.

Started listening to The Martian Contingency by Mary Robinette Kowal on the way home tonight on the train. Lovely to be back in this series! 📚
Enjoyed this interview of @ntnsndr.in | @ntnsndr@social.coop by @ethanz.bsky.social | @ethanz@social.coop for #ReImaginingTheInternet. Their timeline of where social media went off the rails (from ✌️neutral✌️ platforms to a politicized spaces) was particularly interesting.
Enjoying the sakura in Vancouver 📸 🌸
I like this exercise from @gordon.bsky.social. Some excerpts:
Networks generate exponentials.
Broadcast: standardized | Network: personalized
Broadcast: manufactured consensus | Network: runaway amplification
Some things that don’t exist in a network society: facts, shared truth.
Just had the onboarding call and tech check for #FediForum which I will be attending for 2 days starting tomorrow. It is an unconference that is held entirely online. I have followed it for a couple of years but this is my first time attending.
