i'm still me ... ... "If anybody would",... Thank you! coff.ee/rameywood Thank you! https://ko-fi.com/rameywood

Listening to my generation talk about the 90s the way the previous generation talked about the 70s is tiresome. No that wasnt 'back when movies were good' or 'music still meant something'. There's loads of great shit coming out now and there was loads of slop back then. You just miss being young.

We're now closer to "9-3-30" than to "2 Sept 2020", eh? & "tech to support better anticipation"? Sometimes, collectives & communities decide, persons themselves decide to not ignore "the toxicity" which can root if practices become numb to participants own "bullshit detectors",... & our relating 'em

Hellloooo!
;)
Indeed, if not you, others you know here might be interested to ...at least have more conversation in case I am not as “off base” as it seems many must believe,.l.leaving us & me here so, ya know?
In compassion, in understanding,... it remains, “not just up to me”, nor would it you or anyone in similar circumstances,... so, as, or if any you know might care to try,... it is hard, uncertain,... & the “offer” remains,... <bow>

I hope you & yours are as well as can be!

I am not dead, so there is that - & whatever my ability, or disability, it is no mistake, I spent 20-yrs being someone “unconventional”, on purpose to help any of us now,...

I write, have made the efforts I have to try to connect, to be better aquatinted, because, to a large degree,...well, because many here in Fairbanks & Alaska had decades before & since, seemed to not be able or want to “look at self” or remember what had been done & done *here* - things were not in any vacuum when I was more, was able to be more active locally, & that remains as true,...

The people in this pic, which I took in 2013, ... on the left is my mother, Karen, & on the right is the person who was Alaska’s executive director of Commission on Aging”,... & so, indeed, it is not personal, unless it is made to be - “best practices” have ... maybe ... been willfully ignored for a time, & if “new people” are not let to learn what has happened before, how do we expect “change”, eh? & “community” “brain health” is best served with exclusion & denial? Exactly.
<bow>

I want for more of us all here to succeed at what we do - & if we, if more people do not collaborate for it, I do not know how well that “endgame” is made real, ya know?

So, I “offer”,... what I can, even as “particular people” make of it whatever they will, regardless “truth” or accuracy of my experience, work, purpose, being,... <bow>


Indeed, “anticipating” these last 6-9 months was very much more “possible” than what it seems now many want to respect “accountability” for ... & that really only matters in respect to “what is next?”


<waves> 🙋‍♂️

Hellloooo! ...

I have both an undergrad & grad degrees from UAF - the Northern Studies dept is where I first researched a/c accidents. My husband got a degree there, his father also (he founded & ran one of AK's largest engineering/survey firms), his aunt (who became a teacher in a Noorvik) & a niece. We ❤️UAF.

OneLove, yous,... & please mind the weighty memory of experience, that of organ, of one cell, of gland, of bone & marrow flow, of how blood moves to convey what was, what's next,...these varied & different "pipelines of relationships", orbits of "leg", "head", "hope", "expectation", "nourish", "age"

"2013-2014", too + "AI" as "Anticipatory Intel" the decade or two previous, working & learning, & 'what to do' 2010, my mother & I, w/others, w/some experience, we co-founded "Aging Advocacy" biz & experiment/model to "help persons, communities,...be any better readied to ferry thru" "now" & "next"?

American Society on Aging 2014 conference catalog, page 183,... "Anticipating What We Don't Know and Being Honest With What We Do" is one session on the page, this one circled for attention,..
"Are we ready for the 'tsunami' of baby boomers? There is no question that many are doing good work but our accustomed practices and familiar systemic approaches were not designed to address this need. Learn about bridges that can be build to support cooperation and programmatic efficiency and shortcuts that vital and necessary to stay ahead of the imminent demand."

There are NO non-radical futures and anyone who tells you we can tweak things a tiny bit and go back to some kind of utopian version of the '50s, is lying. How would YOU design a future that works for the generations that come after us? for @rupertread.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Copy of a tweet from @papa_rosh

"anyway, I think an apt way to think about climate change is that there are "no non-radical futures." either we change everything or the earth changes everythign for us. anyone selling you 'realistic' incremental change is performing the work of charlatans and denialists."

If you are not "just a little boy" running around Alaska, aren't just "some immature kid" calling "Fairbanks", maybe, "your Home", consider yourself mature & believe yourself to be "response - able" as an adult,... I would LOVE to learn who else is "here" - & also not bent to discriminate disability

The Arctic is roasting. In northern Russia, temps this week have topped 90F. (That's 32C to the rest of the world.) The Arctic Circle is warming faster than the rest of the planet; A feedback loop will accelerate increase. 🧪 If only we had known... www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-...

It’s 90 degrees in the Arctic right now

The Arctic is heating faster than the rest of the planet. New data illustrate how dire that is
