And then here is me looking ahead at what I'll be doing in 2023 and the practices involved. It's all about transitions.

Composting work.
Moving resources.
Staying with the trouble.
Tending to new soil.

What I mean by those things and who I'm doing them with, is here > https://cassierobinson.medium.com/becoming-2023-some-of-the-things-ill-be-doing-this-year-940ce5bf72be

Earlier in the week I wrote a blog post looking back on my work in 2022 - working across Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Active Philanthropy, Partners for a New Economy, Impact on Urban Health and Power to Change. Some thank you's in there too, for all the people that had my back last year. https://cassierobinson.medium.com/my-2022-and-what-this-means-for-my-2023-95ba8bdf26d

My 2022 and what this means for my 2023. - Cassie Robinson. - Medium

Throughout the year people have asked me “How’s JRF going?” or “How’s Power to Change going?” — I’m not sure people have realised the way I’ve been spread out this year. What I’ve loved is being able…

A #LossAndDamage fund *finally* agreed at #COP27 - https://climatenetwork.org/2022/11/20/landmark-decision-at-cop27-to-set-up-loss-and-damage-fund/

31years ago #Vanuatu - on behalf of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) - proposed funding for #LossAndDamage to the countries most impacted by rising sea-levels. It was blocked & delayed by those most responsible for climate change for decades.

The #LossAndDamage facility exists because of those who wouldn't give up. Celebrating them today. And - no doubt - the fund needs to be fought for every step of the way.

"experience arises relationally, through forces and their capacity to move in resonance across different registers of existence. Experience always comes as an ecology of relation."

Christoph Brunner, Ecologies of Relation:Collectivity in Art and Media

Listening to a wonderful talk by Allie E.S Wist at Anticipation conference on Taste + Smell as haptic world-building + world knowing.

If I'm giving this a go, then I'd love to connect with new people (as well as keep in touch with old!).

Wondering how I might find others who are working in or care about -

Prepping my slides for #Anticipation22 and re-reading my copy of The Dreaming City: Glasgow 2020 and the Power of Mass Imagination, back in 2007 when @MelissaMean and others did a city-wide collective imagination programme.

Wondering who else is here that is doing work on #imagination? Especially temporal imagination, civic imagination, collective imagination....
