(More collage) 1. It took a little while to figure out what worked for me. Of course, it starts with difining "what works". I think it's when recombining cut elements from printed pages felt more like puzzle solving. #intuitivecollage #arttherapy #chronicpain

I showed these collages to @antoniobruno.bsky.social a couple of days ago. I've been making them since 2023, but hadn't showed them to anyone. He suggested I post them here. I started making them as an item in my #chronicpain coping toolbox.

Here is my last Substack, where I talk about organization and clutter in the living and work space, and how it can go from mildly annoying to paralyzing. #ReinventionAdventures #ChronicDisorganization #DeclutteringJourney #NeurodivergentAdults #MinimalismJourney open.substack.com/pub/reinvent...

She knelt on the floor, holding it to her chest, rocking back and forth, singing a song he would never forget— even if the world had tried to erase him. The wind carried her voice across the desert. And somewhere, it was heard. #everychildmatters

Months later, when his mother finally learned the truth, she walked for days to reach the school. She was not allowed to see his grave. But she entered the empty dormitory. Under a mattress, she found a small bundle tied with string. Her son’s hair. #everychildmatters

When he died, they buried him behind the school with a small wooden marker— his name misspelled. No one sent word home. #everychildmatters

That night, he gathered the fallen strands quietly and hid them under his mattress. Punishments were frequent. Loneliness was constant. Thomas began to forget words in his own language. One winter morning, sickness spread through the dormitory. Thomas grew weaker each day. #everychildmatters

On the first day, Thomas was pushed into a chair. A teacher stood behind him with scissors. Locks of black hair fell to the floor. Thomas didn’t cry out loud. He stared at the hair as it piled near his shoes, feeling something inside him disappear with every cut. #everychildmatters

She pressed her forehead to his and whispered: “Remember who you are, even if they try to teach you otherwise.” The boarding school in Arizona Territory was cold and strict. English only. No songs. No language from home. #everychildmatters

Men in uniforms arrived with papers. They said the children needed schooling. They said it was for their future. Thomas’s mother braided his hair tightly that morning, fingers trembling. In their culture, hair was not just hair—it was memory, identity, prayer. #everychildmatters

The Hair on the Classroom Floor — Arizona Territory, 1894 When Thomas Yazzie was taken from his family in 1894, he was nine years old and had never been farther than the red hills beyond his Navajo home. #everychildmatters

This essay formalizes the Body Alienation concept: the loss of volitional control and awareness that happens when societal and cultural forces restrict our innate movement in childhood. I trace the lineage from ancient mind-body separation to modern sedentary culture.

This is my last substack, where I talk about life and work reinventions during societal collapse at the epicenter of the economic and political crisis, and how, even that, can be weirdly fascinating. open.substack.com/pub/reinvent...

This is the second essay in my series on “gym ethnography and sociology” for member retention, conflict resolution, launch of new services, or any other problem that is social in nature, requiring a social diagnosis and solution. #gymethnography #gymsociology #gymconflict #fitness

Esse é o capítulo do livro que publiquei há 14 anos a respeito do difícil compromisso entre estética e saúde. Eu cunhei a expressão "Alienação Corporal" então para explicar a origem comum de coisas como a aversão irracional ao exercício, #alienaçãocorporal #performance

Fourteen years ago this was a chapter of a book about the difficult compromise between aestherics and health. I coined the expression "body alienation" then to explain the common origin of things like www.linkedin.com/posts/marili...

There are critical times in life when it seems there is no good response to the challenge we face, no good choice among the ones we see, and we experience a combination of emergency, seriousness, and stuckness. We need Serendipity. #reinvention #serendipity open.substack.com/pub/reinvent...

1. O hype e o medo em torno da IA dominam a conversa. De um lado, tecno-utopistas projetam um futuro onde quase todo o trabalho e funções sociais sejam automatizados. Do outro, o público teme a desinformação, a perda de empregos e o fim da humanidade.

1/ Half of all American adults have adopted generative AI since its release. But a huge majority still lack the critical skills to understand its capabilities, limitations, and risks. Why does this matter? #AI #FutureOfWork #AIethics #Reinvention #Sociology

1. My new Substack article is out! It's called 'Reinventing work and The Augmentation Model, part 1.' I believe we're on the cusp of a game-changing shift in how we work with AI, especially for neurodivergents and those with different communication styles. A thread 🧵
