Goodbye to the Farmer’s Almanac (1818-2026) – Boing Boing
Talking about 100 year old things still being around… Until they’re not.
What a loss!
Note: I actually began work on one. I had a Field Note I began as a draft of it (was meant to be that size). Maybe a time to revisit that idea.

Shelter or prison – annie’s blog
The individuals within a system may change and grow and need the system to change and grow with them. But systems resist change. The individuals in a system are often not served by the system, but they’re serving it. They’re trapped within it. Does it shelter them? Does it provide some resources?

What I think we need is more humanity. More sharing of our stories and life experiences. It’s how we come to appreciate people we don’t know and that may not look like or live like us. It’s easy to be baited into hatred of the faceless other, but a human being with a story we can relate to and empathize with? Much harder.
This other path points to our higher human potential to learn with humility about the things we don’t understand, and to hold wide-open space for the possibility that other people are not monsters, they are just different.
These are important.
