“Becoming indigenous to a place means living as if your children’s future mattered, to take care of the land as if our lives, both material and spiritual, depended on it.” Robin Wall Kimmerer (I love this so much)

Generally around this time every year, teams start gathering to begin preparing their end-of-year trend reports: predictions for the year ahead. This year, don’t do it. Don’t make the 2021 Trends Report or the snazzy Predictions For 2021 deck. Use your resources wisely.

“Sometimes the most direct way to tell the truth is to tell a totally implausible story, like a myth. That way you avoid the muddle of pretending the story ever happened, or ever will happen.” wearing Le Guin on my sleeve today.

Stuck in one of the first flight’s trying desperately to land in Gatwick whilst it’s fuel was running out made the fragility of our infrastructure so much more evident. Everything is connected to everything else, no technology exists in isolation. Certainly not a consumer drone.
