In case you needed reminding today: Stars lived and died to put flecks in your eyes and in eons will never repeat them how tiny the odds of you being you and how lucky it was you beat them

Interested in Elizabeth Ballantyne’s academic work? She writes in this published paper“…non-market housing [proposed]… as a path to systemic change in the housing market that will transform it into a system that meets the housing needs of all.”

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

In 2017 Guthrie Gloag created a sculpture of a life-size mastodon at a secret location in the woods. We found it on Bowen Island. Today I read in the Island's newspaper, the Undercurrent, that it is gone. Gloag explains. https://t.co/GKRZ9ggy0g

Polish border with Ukraine. This is the best of humanity. People driving from all over Europe to offer refugees a lift and a room. @itvnews #ukraine

It's 83 years since a European country stormed into another to re-write history and change borders. Do Russian mothers think their front-line children are heroes or monsters? The days of enslaving an educated and unwilling population are over. #UkraineRussiaCrisis

I think we/you are talking about empowering the population of the world to have the tools to imagine and create the world we want. We know that today the 0.01% have the power. The question is how to grow #CreatingTheFuture to achieve this capacity.

"What ensures the values?" 1st: it is either a person or an entity. An entity (association) is immortal. If it is left to the community the integrity will become fractured. 2nd: the values have to be expressed in words. 3rd: regardless it will evolve/change. #CreatingTheFuture

Hildy, "...it needs to be somebody's job." Might it be better to say, "someone needs to be accountable"? Then accountable to whom or what (entity)? And for what? #CreatingTheFuture I'd say yes because that manages values.

It seems important for the people 'in the space' to hear what everyone 'feels' (as apposed to 'thinks') because we all know more than we know we know. Some of that is accessed through feelings. #CreatingTheFuture

Not really a recommendation, but if you don't like Facebook, you might look at Mighty Networks. https://t.co/R1IqdnuX4B #CreatingTheFuture

Is the whole group accountable for 'holding the space' or would the group delegate the responsibility to a 'facilitator?' #CreatingTheFuture
