The value of a mixed set of sources of input
I write about things I care about like balance, quiet, making space for people to relax and connect. But I also am curious to learn new things, from, as I used to write automatically, new and different others. Found this old article (they mention Twitter like it was Old Twitter, which was good, even great, for…

DESK | Miniparty
Publishers around the world, including our humble outfit here at DESK, love to see things get finished, and delivered into the big, wide world. It’s one of the coolest parts about making things, seeing them received by people. Held, responded to. Picked up. That’s why we will host the next miniparties in a set of…

Kindness is the way
Ignore the click-baity title here, this clip I’ve started the video at tells us a ton about why kindness is so, so valuable for us. The giver, the receiver: society. In an earlier part of the conversation, too, in which the idea of ‘status’ was addresssed, there was this whole idea that ‘power’ and ‘possession’…

Culture | What does it mean to have ‘community’?
The word came up, ‘community.’ In handfuls of conversations. Online and offline. What does it mean, though? I once co-hosted a conversation party in Seattle at Kornerhaus, which was DK’s office at that time. The talk was called ‘Gather: What does it mean to have community?’ I used to love to get people together in…

ELI5
How we talk to each other: ‘ELI5’ But what does this have to do with how we talk about what we’re doing, and how we’re making things in ways that other people will relate to, and connect with? There is no one answer to this that hits all the right buttons. But eliminating confusion by…

More than a decade after hosting ‘State of Publishing’, so much to say
It has been a little while since I updated this post. Let me share my most comprehensive musings with DK’s Art & Copy Zine Club communities, because the interestingness is more interesting when you share it with people who are actually very interested in these kinds of topics. Writing and blogging and tweeting and other…

VOX on the value of a Third Place: ‘You’ll become a familiar face, a driver of conversation, a person to say hello to’
‘Immersing yourself in the culture of the space requires intentionality, consciously caring for your, and your community’s, social health. This might require some actionable changes, like dedicating time each week to spend an hour or so in a neighborhood hangout, going into a restaurant or coffee shop instead of picking up, leaving your phone in…

Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program’s April Lee’s brilliant reply to the question, ‘Can we truly change systems if we’re still in them?’
Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program’s April Lee, pictured above, is a panelist in the video below. I love how she replied to an audience member’s question. The question was about whether the panelists believed, truly, that change was possible when the very systems that created difficulties are things we’re still living in. Watch this, to hear…

‘Thiếu’…
The value of a thing is the amount of life we are willing to trade for it. Let’s discuss ‘lack,’ or ‘thiếu.’ But softly, quietly, and comfortably. // Hi. I hope to find at least 4 people to make this *happen*. If we can, I will do this. I think it’s a big, big…

Relationships matter, and this is why, according to systems thinker George Vickers
‘Human contacts are dangerous [because] they matter so much, and no one knows how much they matter. Even the most trivial meeting makes a difference, slight or lasting, to one or both. ‘Intimate contacts make heaven and hell, they can heal and tear, kill and raise from the dead. These contacts are the fields in…
