I bring together committed groups of people to make sense of complex, stuck problems in new ways and find ways to enact social change together.

@bolderbekah And I, likewise, passed through Lefthand Canyon where the other wreck occurred on Saturday not more than 15 minutes before it happened. Be safe out there!

@bolderbekah @coloradosun My understanding is that this occurred on Diagonal Highway just west of Gunbarrel on the north side of the road. This may not be correct, however.

@feijoa Are you aware of Manfred Max-Neef's needs and satisfiers? There are several key articles over the years, the first of which was:

Max-Neef, M. A. (1989). Development and human needs. In Human scale development: Conception, application and further reflections (pp. 197–214).

@FINOkoye Omeka is primarily a CMS & database for building institutional collections and exhibitions. Airtable is definitely easy to use, but proprietary and only a database.

@FINOkoye There aren't great options, sadly. The best open access/open source option could be https://omeka.org but I find it to be difficult and not straightforward – certainly not straightforward on the level of a Squarespace.
Omeka

Omeka is a free, flexible, and open source web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections and exhibitions. Its five-minute setup makes launching an online archive or exhibition as easy as launching a blog.

I'm saddened by the number of friends and acquaintances lost to climbing-related accidents in recent years.

Bailee lit up any room or any activity with her magnetic, infectious smile and laughter, and our community is reeling from this news.

The climber was ascending a classic rock ridge on Ypsilon Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park

@KJonuska She lit up any room she was in, or any activity she was a part of. There are a lot of people who are going to be poorer without her around.

@cyclinggeezr Love this attitude, thank you.

@ericmbudd This is good. Now how do we get the city to evolve its relationship with developers?

@james #GregoryBateson wrote about this in a lot of different ways as "the sacred," aesthetic sensibility, the pattern which connects, grace, abductive process, etc. ("The Pattern Which Connects", his books Mind and Nature and Angels Fear, "The Moral and Aesthetic Structure of Human Adaptation", "Cultural Relativity and Belief Systems", "Style, Grace, and Information in Primitive Art", among many others).

Andreas Weber wrote a whole book about it: Matter & Desire: An Erotic Ecology.
