If you behave like a techbro (see toot above), you will be rewarded with sarcasm, then dismissal.

Last but not least, just know that I enjoy (and therefore post / retoot) things that can end up being quite stressful and dry for a lot of people, such as Anthropocene related articles, videos, figures, etc.

I try my best to label such posts with hashtags that you can hide like #anthropocene #gigEconomy #surveillanceCapitalism #collapse #decolonialDesign etc

/warning

Thanks and welcome!

Also, if you are not willing to put yourself into question, put tech and design's myths into question, step back from our current culture of over-consumption and extractivism, if you can't make a difference between cordial conversation online and demanding debate and time from someone (especially a woman) only on your terms, I'm afraid we will not get along that well.

Hi to new followers! (thanks @vincib :D)

Welcome to my feed. Some toots might feel rough, it's by design.

Make sure you have carefully read my bio and that you agree with the following statements. Else, I'm afraid my feed will not be a place of joy for you:

- Elon Musk and similar billionaires will not save us
- Billionaires should not exist
- Uber, Google, Amazon, Facebook & co MUST be regulated/dismantled
- Trans women are women
- Punch nazis
- Degrowth & low-tech are the only way to go

Do you remember the last time your opinion of a service or product radically changed, and why? Something you found absolutely ridiculous / ugly / useless and that you ended up liking / buying / using?

Call for ideas for an online design sprint we are currently running!

Do you have in mind a product or service that was socially unacceptable or taboo that became vastly accepted later on?

[FR] Une intervention qui tombe à point ! Alexandre Monnin https://twitter.com/aamonnz nous parle de notre "monde organisé" (terme justement pointé par Emmanuel Bonnet) et de l'omnipotence (illusoire ?) des organisations.

L'occasion de sortir cette citation d'Henry Mintzberg qui illustre le propos d'Alexandre.

Now is the time for the most privileged of us who don't have to still go out for health or work reasons to reflect on what we are, on how we think we can be useful to society, how we can reclaim our time and how we can recover a sense of pleasure, growth and empowerment into enjoying things that are not labelled "work".

There is SO much to do outside of work. We have access to so much today. We can learn new things, a language, a craft, right from our couch. These can bring us much more happiness and completion than any modern office job.

We can reconnect to the feeling of idleness, of just letting our thoughts come and go and face our feelings without constantly trying to shut them off with constant entertainment.

We were trained to push away "hobbies" as acts that don't make us useful to society. We were convinced that work and employment were the only fields where we could find worth, purpose, growth and delight.

I don't blame you. It took me several months / years to be at peace with doing nothing, enjoying a good knitting session or even to be able to read again without feeling the urge to pick my phone up.
