    Another day, another email from tech friend off to start new thing/fund/campaign on climate emergency. Feels like exciting & necessary tipping point! What exciting projects or people do you know working in this space?

    Interesting, though, how you design social systems for episodic/ebbs & flows I keep thinking will characterize future work (knowing that's a privileged option). If most volunteers are older, how do we encourage civic duty? Can I have a year of pension if I want year out at 32?

    Tis a truth universally acknowledged* that if you speak about "ethics" at a tech event, the first person to approach you after will tell you how proud they are to invest/work with Juul, and mean it. (*three times now?!)

    The resignations of women MPs have been making me think of this piece in : “You can’t easily fit women into a structure that is already coded as male; you have to change the structure. That means thinking about power differently.“

    I've lived in California most of my life. With the fires, it's really starting to feel like the end out here. Cal is unsustainable, wrong for our time. Wrong design (sprawl), tech (cars, flat homes), politics (rich NIMBYs call all shots) My column:

    Several things true here: 1) experiments are needed to give us the "good" public digital spaces we deserve, so I applaud this 2) it's a little worrying that Twitter now gets to decide what "political ads" are 3) bots/inauthentic activity needs addressing if reach is the problem
