Ah, the good old RSGB. My membership must’ve lapsed nearly 40 years ago. I wonder if I’ve still got any of the paperwork for my ham days somewhere? I’m worried that I might not, and would need to start from scratch …

Finding Each other in the Ruins …

What do people here think about this initiative, which I learned about through following resilience.org and Dougald Hine (whose book At Work in the Ruins was a fascinating read)? Another way of ‘looking for our tribe’:

Finding Each other in the Ruins

Finding Each other in the Ruins

The 2008 crisis threw together a lot of us who were ready to talk about the fragility of the systems that our societies take for granted. We’re living through another moment in which that sense of fragility is being brought … Continue reading

@Jack it’s not a question I’ve considered these past 30+ years. If it was essential to serve a purpose then yes, why not. But one thing I came to realise back then is that I’m not really one for a remote chat – something that continues even in these days of effortless, apparently free, trans-global digital communication. A good chat in person… Read more

Inspired by talking to scouts in Australia during a visit to a local ‘Jamboree on the Air’ event, I obtained a full ham license back in 1984 (G4LMP) – when I was but […]

As mentioned elsewhere, I must check out Kastrup.
Thinking of interesting thinkers: do you follow Daniel Schmachtenberger, Iain McGilchrist and possibly (my original connection to them), Nate Hagens (The Great Simplification)?

I’m also thinking of checking out a Collapse Club call (seems to be related to Deep Adaptation Forum). Are we here more UK-centric?

Sadly Twitter generally isn’t the space these days. But yes, I agree.
I’m looking for such a space. Where does everyone go? I should look further into Deep Adaptation Forum and see what runs in the UK. I need the therapeutic benefit of talking with like-minded souls.
Conversely, I also think there should be more attempt to overcome the…
