I'm in a totally ugly mood when it comes to dealing with anything that is primarily logistics and operations right now. If it's not at least 70% play, I just can't bring myself to do it right now. Grasshopper mood. As in the fable of grasshopper and ant.

I'm anti-degrowth when it comes to climate stuff, but pro-degrowth at personal level.
Only mortal systems can meaningfully try to "degrow"
Ecologies can only alt-grow, not de-grow

We're always 100%. But how we spread that around is entirely biological.
You'll always be at least 5% ant. Sometimes you'll be 25% hyena, or 35% cheetah.
Reconcile nothing. Just keep driving forward and let the chameleon inside be your guide.

I am vibing this right now. There have been times in past where I get a perverse sort of pleasure from organizing, logistics, admin, inbox zero, etc. but lately I seem to have a sort of allergic reaction to it. IDK if it is just the whole last year finally catching up, or what.
