hard-core mood-crash
Nov. 12th, 2012 03:52 pmI'm glad I had the chance to see it when I did - Venice is suffering severe flooding right now. This is indescribably sad to me... I have to wonder how much culture is going to be destroyed by climate change in the next 10 years.
Pogo says, "We have met the enemy and he is us," #Occupy says "We are the bailout we've been waiting for." They're both right... (The Rolling Jubilee is picking up steam, donations, and good press.)
And there's more stuff happening on the "direct action" front - I'm saving the Forbes article on distributed "infrastructure" for future reference, and there's more thinky on doing more than just voting (didn't pick up on the Quinn Norton piece the first time around).
I feel like I should be optimistic given how many people seem to be really getting it right now, but there's so much that needs to be done; I'm really afraid whatever we accomplish is going to be much too little much too late.
