The household is where philosophy becomes architecture. And modernity, for all its comforts, quietly redesigned the household into something brittle: a consumption unit dependent on systems it canβt see, services it canβt afford under stress, and a social fabric it no longer maintains.

We donβt learn the truth about a society from its slogans. We learn it from the way ordinary people are forced to organize ordinary life β food, shelter, care, work, and the raising of the next generation.

We talk about progress as though it were a natural law, not a public-relations slogan. Change is inevitable; progress is subjective.
A new philosophy is overdue: the ethics of maintenance. It abandons teleological fantasies β natural or divine β and faces the mess of human construction head-on. Progress isnβt destiny. Itβs the myth that keeps us from performing the necessary repair.

Progress isnβt destiny; itβs deferred maintenance dressed as prophecy.
Civilisation doesnβt evolve β it corrodes. What we need isnβt more βinnovation,β but an ethics of upkeep.

What I hope for in 2024:
- People rise up against fascist governments.
- Revolution to de-center profit and climate disaster to work together towards a collaborative and equitable future.
- People realize the extent of the damage of the ongoing #COVID19 #pandemic and start to care for each other.
- We fully realize the extent of that global violence is a tool by the rich to keep them rich and us poor and compliant.
- That nothing matters more than love and we need to work together and learn to work together in a nonviolent capacity.

Flickr Foundation Research Fellow Jenn Phillips-Bacher outlines about what she's been thinking about, about long-term implications of digital collections access
"In focussing on the lifecycle of an object, my reading has coalesced around three main areas:
- Ethics of care throughout the life of a digital object
- Responsible data stewardship and radical transparency
- Climate impacts of unconstrained digital collections"
