Feels like new generations may not get the chance to actually learn how things work. Yet, we will inevitably get more done. And at some point no one will know how to really think about what any of that means.

Networking is like the interplay of thought and action, a fluid dance and an open embrace.

Gathering ideas from diverse sources, weaving them together into a shared current, only to send them outward again, branching into messy directionless vectors of meaning.

'Nature' isn’t a stage for human drama, it’s a mesh of being where objects withdraw, relate, and exist on their own terms.

A tree, a river, a mushroom, a satellite each with its own agency.

Touching yet untouchable.

Humans increasingly seem to fetishize 'nature' especially those ingrained in tech addicted to screens, obsessed with concepts like neutrality.

But here's the thing. Nature is a human concept inherent with bias.

It isn’t good or bad or neutral. At the right level of recule, there is no nature.

I like to think about futures as something we create, not something that just happens.

It's murky, uncertain, shifting, constantly being shaped.

Every decision, every norm, every assumption, just scaffolding for what comes next.

I heard bluesky likes fungi, and so do I.

Today I'm doing a bit of research into fungal bioluminescence. Fascinating to think we've known about bioluminescent fungi for thousands of years (apparently they're mentioned in Aristotle’s De Anima from c. 350 BCE!)

I find it interesting when people ask 'Is this normal?'

Normals aren't a state.

They are always contextual and temporary.

And new normals are emerging faster than ever before.
