Are you folks interested to engage with local ecological knowledge about the killer whales? Here in strait of gibraltar I'm producing research and orcanising for this human-wildlife conflict. I can't remember what to use twitter for. What would you like to know?

[Chris Harris @hellokozmo]

@_newcubes_ was interesting to hear you talk about the notion of relationship to and identity with when it comes to caring for bioregional ecological state. Always happy to hear more about design for ecological relationships and cooperation. Staying tuned!

Amazing- More than 5,000 new species discovered in Pacific deep-sea mining hotspot. I join Sir David Attenborough, calling for a moratorium on deep-sea mining because of the irreversible damage it will do to ecosystems. https://t.co/52Va4nb8Hh https://t.co/LXezfrJvt1

The best historians are prophets;

accessible generation of synthetic plausibility further exposes historians as convincing imaginative story tellers.

True or False is emotional, it returns from a function of moral resonance to a consensus of embodied score keepers.

@AnneSelke But also exercise more during the day and only drink one coffee before noon :)

[Chris Harris @hellokozmo]

@AnneSelke 8pm lights off. candles only. Drink tea with lavender and wheatgrass. Voice call a friend without looking at the phone. Write in a notebook. Think about who you will ask for wisdom in your dreams and how you will be calm, caring and vivaciously exuberant again tomorrow.

@austinrobey_ @daspitzberg @_HHFF @ntnsndr @velefante22 @divyasiddarth @againstutopia I really like weekly retrospective questions all answered in a group channel. The choice of q's are key for maintaining energy across different interpersonal layers. I've helped a few product teams design retro formats like this, though it's more peer-group-review than p2p

We should be learning how to create better opportunities for eachother
