I dream of never being called resilient again in my life.

I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit. Or for how many.

I understand being upset with unvaccinated people taking up hospital beds.

But you can make the same argument about people who smoke, drink alcohol excessively, consume junk food and live a sedentary lifestyle.

Hospitals are filled with people who make poor lifestyle choices.

In my career, I have never been more concerned than I am for what this province will face in the next ~36 hours.

“to be an organizer is to believe in a freedom we've yet to experience and probably never will—but we do the work still.

you see, us organizers, we time travelers. we must live in the future to prepare a present.

we are practitioners of a world that does not exist but will."

"When I was asked to speak on the future of #philanthropy, I was faced with a conundrum. I’d like to think all of us in the sector are aiming to work ourselves out of our jobs." | @roselonghurst @atlanticfellows on writing a letter dated 2071.

Before issuing a RFP to reimagine a sector / redesign a major effort, look honestly at your budget. Divide that by human-time. Is than more than a grad student doing a lit review + some KIIs?

Change is about people + politics, not ideas. So are you seriously investing in change?

I am furious for you 😂

[Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHussain]

Observation 6: ORNAMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE.

That cost me $15.99. That's more than three everything bagels. I am furious. For what it cost, you best believe that I am insisting that it be passed on to my great grandchildren. If they break it I will haunt them.

This. Whole. Thread. 👏🏼

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations.

Design futures folks, this is one of the boldest and most interesting calls for contributions I've ever seen from a journal.

You have until end of November to contribute –– so if you can, please do! #ExperientialFutures #DesignFiction #SpeculativeDesign
