#SpeculativeFutures is a series of stories I've co-written with different people, some inspired by #nature others by #tech, all with the hope to get to a better one.

The future is made of stories ✨ #Stories are a fundamental part of our lives, our past, present and #futures. We wouldn't be humans without stories. 💫

I'd like to share 3 projects involving stories about the different futures we yearn for, we fear and those we would love to experience.

As an avid reader, I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite books ever!

Indeed, it has it all. It's so well written, so enjoyable. I did not want to finish it and yet read it in a week or so.

Spectacular read 💚🙌 @nnedi.bsky.social #booksky

Great article from @joostvervoort.bsky.social
"Those interested in truly giving better futures a fighting chance simply have to become much, much better at mobilizing societal sources of emotional energy, including those that are associated with big stories..."

Fighting for a better future is spiritual work — it may cost us everything if we pretend it isn’t
The marriage of hypercapitalism and fascism is a global vampiric death force. A powerful life force has to meet it.

Reminder: A system's behavior can get chaotic in advance of transitions or transformations. Don't assume that today is the end point of anything. Today is a moment of multifold potential.

To the #game #seriousgames #boardgames #tabletopgames communities in here!

Can someone point me towards potential funding for a game I've been designing?

It's a #designfutures game to guide participants in designing preferable futures going through a meta #foresight process.

Thanks a lot ✌️

#Aiglatson (nostalgia spelled backwards) is a deep and emotional yearning for the #future - an antonym of future shock. A concept coined by Gabriel Fackre and frequently utilized by Jim Dator. Thanks @centro_u for bringing this concept to my attention 💫
I absolutely love it.

In a way it makes sense. A society which thinks that degrading biological complexity (like an old growth forest or an ocean full of fish) and calling the process "wealth creation" might call extracting and reprocessing content from texts and artworks "intelligence."

If the only time you mention us is when you're talking about books by black authors, you need to reassess what you're doing.
