When commodities break, they are easily replaced. When you break a chair, you buy another chair. We know well how to make one thousand chairs. They sit in boxes, lining the warehouses, ready for two-day shipping.

But when the unique breaks, we might mend.

That which is unique, breaks

We are in the dark corner of the pub together. We have been here for some time. Out of my coat I produce a pile of old photographs. Something to show you. They are a gift from the past, together we will look, I will tell what comes to mind.

It's just terrifically sad to think about. But I hope that my above post isn't taken as some kind of tech-utopian hope or vision. My brain just.. started looking for ways to help. So many people have tried to help with all they had, many losing their lives in the process, and I firmly do not want to dishonor them. I need to sit with the news, read, and listen to the stories without reaching for my own soothing salve of trying to be useful right away.

#permacomputing
Heartbreaking reading women's stories from Afghanistan, as the country falls to the Taliban again. I have only just started learning about permacomputing, but I wonder if this is the kind of collapse it can help? Can we somehow get low power resilient computing devices into the homes and hands of Afghan girls and women? Would be dangerous for them to own of course. I just don't know; it's really so awful 😓
