@movie_pundit Contentment as radical opposition

[Lydia Stewart @LydiaStews]

"In a consumer society, contentment is a radical opposition... recognizing abundance rather than scarcity undermines an economy that thrives by creating unmet desires" - Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
Can you see the abundance in living #sustainably?

@movie_pundit Absolutely one of my favourite quotes!

Thankfully it never came to that.

Mapping and coding insights genuinely brings me so much joy. It’s just a different form of puzzling. #thesis #servicedesign #userresearch #gsadesigninnovation

@OffMenuOfficial HELP! Which episode talks about the cinnamon bun bread pudding?! **This is an urgent matter**

[Becci Wallace McGarvey @Toidfish]

What the hell @metpoliceuk ? There is absolutely no excuse for this amount of force on women protesting their lack of safety!!! you are the ones with a murderer in your ranks.. The brutal irony of this is horrific #ReclaimTheStreets

[Lydia Stewart @LydiaStews]

@jbaldwin @SEMK5 This requires further investigation... I’m too close to it to be objective.

[Lydia Stewart @LydiaStews]

I love Glasgwegians

Wee bit of snow in Glasgow has guys out skiing at 2:30am. Superb.

[Lydia Stewart @LydiaStews]

@daniellesoneff I totally agree, ideologically! But putting method to practice is the challenge when society is so driven by profit how do we shift to prioritize choices that don’t show “value” to the decision makers. class, race, gender, ability, age, so many people need a seat at the table.

[Lydia Stewart @LydiaStews]

last wk I wrote a note after a #gsaws21 talk on decentering design: "Are people capable of designing for a better future even if it comes at their own detriment". I personally don't believe in altruism, so how do we do this when competing with bias and inequity?

[Lydia Stewart @LydiaStews]

@johnthackara It would have been great to end the week with a goat!
