+ Participated in a roundtable on [[citizen science]] and [[digital action]] run by UCL Extreme Citizen Science (https://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/research/research-centres/excites) lab, as part of [[Restart]].

+ Put in for a place on the Data Leadership Cohort (https://aspirationtech.org/programs/leadership/data) that [[Aspiration Tech]] is running, related to our work on [[open repair data]]. Got me thinking about [[data commons]].

+ I’ve noticed that I like writing [[technical documentation]].
+ I’ve always had a predilection for [[maintenance]] rather than the creation of shiny new things. I feel like writing docs is in keeping with that affinity.

Reading [[Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal]]. Just the introduction so far but rocking my socks already.

On the question of the [[horizontalism vs verticalism]] (and presumably a synthesis)

+ [[The next UK election will be decided in the north of England]]. Because a bunch of seats could switch (back) here.

+ Keep on hearing [[Looking Backward]] mentioned in various places. WLTR.

+ Chuffed to have found my old notes on [[Jackson Rising]] from social.coop reading group. Was a really inspiring book. Might re-read. Should at least see where CJ is now.

+ Oh nice, there’s a [[Jackson Rising Redux]] soon to be published this year. Looks like it might reuse a lot from Jackson Rising, but that’s alright.

Staring out of the window at the crows in the trees, as the trees turn to silhouettes, and listening to this track.

Doing something good to the ol’ brain chemistry.

Thought about [[revolution in the twenty-first century]] for node club this week.

I feel catalysed.

@flancian did it too – very nice to do some [[parallel writing]].

+ Gonna peep [[Revolution in the twenty-first century]] for [[node club]].

+ I like [[Bill Seitz]]’s page on [[parallel writing]]. [[node club]] is an example of it.

The absence of yearning but the presence of regret.

This is great. I’m loving Congotronics. h/t James!

"Using everything from old milk boxes or beat-up Volvos, here are six musicians or collectives embracing the act of upcycled instrumentation."

+ Listening: [[Occupy Wall Street: A Decade Later]]. Really good. Drawing direct links from [[Occupy Wall Street]] to uptick in [[Worker cooperatives]] in the US after it, and mutual aid projects like [[Occupy Sandy]].

+ Reported an issue to [[Resonate]] and it was fixed tout suite. Nice peeps.
