Improve Something Today

The undefined moon: notes for October 2025

Readings on sneaker manufacturing, a dismal vision from the 1960s, & Wendell Berry on ‘provision.’ Plus two upcoming events.

Remembering Joanna Macy. Two book recommendations (on AI and on facilitation). Two ways of looking at a chair.

Readings about, and in response to, the ‘who cares era’. Ways to show and give care in an extraordinarily careless time.

Documenting institutional collapse. The curse of knowledge & cursed knowledge. Workshops on connecting measurement to strategy.

Two things to read. Plus guides for getting started in consulting (find a client), writing (get over oneself), and analysis (find insight in data).

Readings on systems thinking and change management. An upcoming event series on facilitation and health. Last week’s weather.
