  • Sometimes we get stuck on the idea that a thing is supposed to be fun, to the extent of letting the idea override our actual experience of it not being fun. Especially when a thing used to be fun.

    Some things that are fun at first wear out. I’ve had that experience with games where I become aware of the grind and it feels like just a bunch of work trying to constantly raise arbitrary numbers.

    I’ve had the experience with partying too. One just needs to seek more fulfilling things, and be open to finding them.





  • Ekō covers a broad range of global action that I find important. In their words:

    Ekō is a community of people from around the world committed to curbing the growing power of corporations. We want to buy from, work for and invest in companies that respect the environment, treat their workers well and respect democracy. And we’re not afraid to hold them to account when they don’t.

    Barely a day goes by without a fresh corporate scandal making headlines. From polluting the environment to dodging taxes – when left unchecked, corporations don’t let anything stand in the way of bigger profits.

    In an age of multinational companies that are bigger and richer than some countries, it can be easy to feel powerless. But they have a weakness. The biggest corporations in the world rely on ordinary people to keep them in business. We are their customers, their employees, and often their investors. When we act together, we can be more powerful than they are. Together, our community of millions act as a global consumer watchdog – running and winning campaigns to hold the biggest companies in the world accountable.
