@jtahara26 nice : )

Let’s start it with this one 🌲

日常の何気ない妄想。アニメーション・イラストレーターのアンチョコ・ポンチョの作品。

@LaurenUba idk if this makes sense haha but i feel like swimming provided a type of complete sensory "immersion" that you can't really get with air—or maybe just a more intense sensory experience. if we lived in water and "swam in air" would this also happen...

@LaurenUba yes!! i also swam competitively for a while and definitely mentally categorized of all the pools i swam in. warm ups in fast pools were top tier : )

I swam competitively for 14 years, and was just reflecting on how sensitive I became to subtle perceptual differences during that time. Water =/= water: some is fast, some sticky, etc etc. I can recreate the feeling of the water in my favorite competition pools in my memory

@LaurenUba another thing i really loved was just getting accustomed to the feel of water...like if you get back in the pool after a while it just feels so slipper and unfamiliar but after a couple practices, the water feels almost solid—like you can actually "grip" it

Great writing tip from Gary Provost. By just varying sentence length, you have the power to create music, rhythm, lilt, and writing that sings.

tilling soil,, shoveling,,, carving stone ughdh i just feel like each motion/practice is so enriched w metaphors and potential

foraging/farming data?? imagine if gathering information was like picking blueberries

thinking about practices that cultivate knowledge, information, data, meaning…

@bookwormgirl910 that feeling !! top tier

@party_shah HAHA keyword “sometimes”

The Human Use of Human Beings (1989) - Norbert Wiener

what really is information? taking a course on cybernetics this semester and i think i've fallen in love with some of these readings/ideas

growing up, i was always taught that "humanities" and "science" were entirely separate entities but that's entirely the opposite!!

Maps. I love them. Love reading them , love planning adventures. Love seeing how things relate topographically.

@bookwormgirl910 yes! extremely down :)) ur work is so dope

programming languages are languages!! sounds silly to say but makes me think of machines as their own species? what is their culture,, their social structure,, their heritage,,,,
