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.
Hanami mode 🌸
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.
After a month of “working” from Tokyo and Seattle… I am back to my normal schedule this morning. First day working from the new home office! 🎉

Dinner time! 🥘 😋
Zulip finally replaced Slack in my iPhone dock. And considering the ad and IPO rumblings, it may replace Discord someday soon.
Last day of spring break: Daddy/Daughter Day at Vancouver Aquarium

Finally completed a solid year without a missed day. Not a calendar year, but I’ll take it! 🧘

@sarahp.bsky.social covers #ATmosphereConf in @techcrunch.com showing how this is COMMUNITY work, and how we want to make a difference.
Post conference rooftop drinks in Seattle 🥃
(Check out the Space Needle, and that amazing hot chocolate)
Well, everything is in the new house (still a giant mess) but the internet is working and we have clean sheets, so I guess we can call that a successful day of moving. 12 times in the last 5 years. 😮💨 But this time to our very own (and first!) home. (Love my new home office btw! 😻)
🍕 and ☕
Breakfast of champions 🏆
Started listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman 📚 Needed something light for moving house tasks, and this was recommended by a DnD buddy.
