The Mushroom at the End of the World by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing. 2015

On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins

A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters...



 industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more.  

Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world—and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices. In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what manages to live in the ruins we have made?

I was on the J train today in Brooklyn. Got on, sat down, a few people were glancing in my direction and were amused. I was uncomfortable but eventually looked to my right and realized they were amused by these 3 pigeons on the train car. The pigeons walked around a little, pecked at some food. Then when we were slowing down to the stop, the three pigeons walked toward the doors, congregated, and made an orderly exit. I guess that was their stop.

"A population rises up against a decayed system not because of revolutionary consciousness but because as Rosa Luxembourg pointed out it has no other choice. It is the obtuseness of the old regime not the work of revolutionaries
that triggers revolt."

"While the moment of eruption is mysterious, it are the visionaries and utopian reformers such as the abolitionists who make possible real social change, never the practical politicians."

I just discovered (and tried) this wonderful piece of software

github.com/houmain/keymapper

It allows remapping your keyboard in many ways, and it's controlled from a simple configuration file (so, you can prepare one for your disabled friend).

You can, for example, remap the keyboard to only use its right half, if the left hand is dysfunctional (similar to the mirrored keyboard I made, github.com/clackups/qmk_firmwa ).

Also, it should be useful for , to map, for example, AWSD to different keys.

왜 시니어 엔지니어들은 나쁜 프로젝트를 그냥 두는가
------------------------------
- *시니어 엔지니어는 ‘옳음’보다 ‘효과적 행동’을 중시* , 모든 잘못된 프로젝트를 막으려 하지 않음
- *‘나쁜 프로젝트’* 는 기술적·정치적·UX적 문제를 포함하며, 종종 주관적 판단에 따라 달라짐
- *영향력은 은행 계좌처럼 관리해야 하며* , 자주 반대하면 신뢰를 잃고 ‘정치적 파산’ 상태에 빠질 …

Beavers are really important.

After the huge wildfires in Oregon in 2022, a biologist went out to survey the damage. Not only were the forests blackened, thriving trout populations in the streams were gone, choked to death by ash. “I was in total shock. It just looked like devastation.”

Then he stumbled upon something even more surprising: roughly five acres of pristine greenery in an otherwise burned-out area! At the center were eight active beaver dams.

But this was more than a refuge from the fire. While fish had disappeared upstream of these dams, the downstream water was crystal clear — and trout were thriving as though the fire had never happened! The beaver dams were acting as a water treatment plant.

[Paraphrased from this article: scientificamerican.com/article]

A complex of beaver dams at Dixon Creek, a tributary in the Sprague River watershed in Oregon, keeps riparian habitat lush and green amid a landscape charred by the 2021 Bootleg Fire.
