Yes to both. That will make your schedule much easier as we all want to support you in your goals.

And yes, freed from denial and hope, we can discern what is relevant and get to work...

Jeremy, Yes! I find the current Mutations platform clumsy and the navigation is unintuitive and vexing. Often I bail out before finding what I want. SubStack has a greater facility to focus on themes and contribution threads. So....yes. And thank you for continuously exploring ways to grow our dialogues.

Great to hear, Nina. Yes, Mighty Networks is still working out the kinks, and Patreon isn’t very engagement-friendly. I think Substack’s format might lend itself to easy communication and a streamlined reader subscription flow. At least, it’s worth a shot!

The future closes, while the present opens. We close ourselves off from the anxiety of the future so we can focus on the now. The end of one thing and the beginning of another is emblematic of transition.

A beautiful insight to shift from the construct to the real.

Small ‘we’

Freedom of thought is fluid.

Collapse is a car at the side of the road, trust is that of help will happen to fit our demands.

Routine is to put the engineers out to pasture, as the job is done.

Routine is to be devious with extractive gains using complexity.

Where as the child of a parent, does not sign up for lecture, quite the opposite, they laugh at this folly and seriousness.

A level of participation is at eye level, not a stage.

"Participation is at eye level" - another good way to say it.

We're here. We're in it. This is the 'thick present' Haraway talks about.

I’m still confused and/or don’t understand the difference between threads & chats on substack.

I think chats are literally chat box-style discussions, whereas this is a more classic discussion thread format.

Just caught up with this and perfect timing. I am not family enough yet to have an opinion on that front, but see my latest post for what I think: ONCE UPON A TIME IS NOW for a campaign to change the world: https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/p/once-upon-a-time-is-now-is-a-campaign?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
