  1. Research - “Connecting people and the Earth”: the occupational experience of people with different capabilities participating in an #inclusive horticultural social enterprise

    "This thesis examines how a #gardening-based social enterprise helps people of all abilities by providing #MeaningfulWork, #SocialConnections, and a #Sense fBelonging. While it highlights the benefits of inclusion and community participation, it also points out challenges like funding and governance that need to be addressed for long-term success.

    “This thesis explores how an inclusive horticultural social enterprise supports individuals with diverse abilities by providing meaningful work, social connections, and engagement with #nature. Using participatory action research and ethnographic methods, the study examines themes of inclusion, choice, and community participation. Findings highlight both the benefits and challenges of such initiatives, including governance issues and the need to balance social care with financial #sustainability.

    "The research suggests that #GreenCare social enterprises can help address social exclusion by reducing barriers to participation and fostering #resilience. However, structural and policy changes are necessary to fully integrate these initiatives into broader social and health care systems. The study advocates for more inclusive, community-based approaches that empower individuals while maintaining ethical and environmental sustainability.”

  4. New read alert: *Bullshit Jobs: A Theory* by David Graeber 📘

    Graeber argues powerfully that many modern jobs are utterly pointless—even the workers know it. He classifies them humorously but hauntingly as flunkies, goons, duct-tapers, box-tickers, and taskmasters. Beyond the taxonomy, it’s a sharp critique of work culture, its psychological toll, and the myths tying labor to self-worth.

    If you’re disillusioned with hollow “busywork,” this book is a must. Thought-provoking, unsettling, and uncompromising.

  5. 1/4 Folks everywhere are vibecoding the next viral, marketable thing to "make it big." Meanwhile, I’m pretty done with the whole "make it big" thing and, honestly, starting to feel done even with trying to fit the "average tech Joe persona" (whatever that is).

  6. Cross post from my LinkedIn:

    "My philosophy is that our worth is measured in the impact we make, the integrity we uphold, and the passion we bring to our endeavors. At least, that's what I'm trying to do with my career."

  7. The least we can do is object to this madness... More aviation ...
    - won't make us #happier
    - won't create #meaningfulwork
    - won't help people pay the bills

    It will exacerbate lots of existing challenges...

    Why does our society keep banging it's head against the same walls in ever more aggressive ways... #StayGrounded

  8. I am hesitant to post this because I respect this #mastadon and the #fediverse

    It's a good bunch and I love everyone here.

    However I am working on multiple projects that I think are truly #meaningfulwork and I am trying to do what I can.

    I am limited by #tech and funds. An ancient laptop. A basic #oneplus Nord and a pair of #marshall headphones is all that I have.

    So a funny #video cuz I'm trying to EARN #fedihelp or you could just #FediHire me too.

  9. (Behind it are personal memories of his Iraqi grandparents’ kitchen plot on Long Island: their house was, for him, an “immersive installation” of what they had lost. It also evokes botanical gardens in besieged Kabul, where “people would spend 20 minutes staring at a tree. Like an art work, a plant creates states of contemplation.”)

  12. #backtoworktoday - first full day back.

    It's my privilege to teach at a (mostly) girls school. It's lovely to walk a while with all these young people. To share their delights, concerns, challenges &, in turn, to be delightful, challenging & even, on occasions, 'concerning' to them. As educators, we relate the good & the bad of our shared world (hence the 'concerning'), & (hopefully) to present it in a way that gives them hope, empowerment, & agency.

    Have a grand day everyone #meaningfulwork
