My friend @mushon has an important question. Are you safe and sound? Help Rawan’s children be the same.
Help me get my friend Rawan’s children to safety and evacuate #Gaza with her family any donation would help ❤️‍🩹 gofund.me/e430623b

Change makers don’t understand games; game makers don’t understand change. Policy makers don’t know about the crazy multiverse of gaming. Game developers think sustainability is about trowing plastic bottles in the recycling. anticiplay.medium.com/change…

“As a Palestinian American and an Israeli, working in partnership, we believe that no one—not Israel and not the United States—should be allowed to veto the Palestinian right to self-determination.” —@omarmdajani & @mushon of @2states1homelan @ @ForeignPolicy

Complex present, uncertain futures, sensory engagement anyone?

This is very helpful and thorough, will be referencing this work extensively for our analysis of the roles of MAD (media, art and design) in the co-creation of images of the futures.
Our paper '9 dimensions for evaluating how art and creative practice stimulate societal transformations' is out! The result of years of work with researchers, artists, funders and policy makers in @CreaturesEu to develop a rich shared language! Link below!

"The moment you accept that it is not possible to fight for both sides at the same time, you lost your soul." #ZIZEK in a rare nuanced message for those who side with the gunmen over the civilians in #Gaza and #Israel youtu.be/j8pwQ4uUxoQ

The world should listen to @maozinon who has lost both his parents to Hamas terrorists. Listen, and act.
"I'm not crying for my parents - I am crying for those who will lose their lives in this war. We must stop the war." Powerful testimony from @maozinon on @BBCNews - just days after his parents, Bilha and Yakov, were killed by Hamas.

Did you find this in your feed? Then you know the traffic jam is real.
Yes, the irony of posting this here is not lost on me… “No exit — every feed is a traffic jam” by @Mushon Zer-Aviv uxdesign.cc/no-exit-every-fe…

I love this idea of fusing futures with complexity, specifically through @snowded’s Estuarine Mapping and @avantgame’s 100 Ways.
What’s true about money today? How much time & energy would it take for it to no longer be true? Summery of ‘Futures Change’ the #futures & #complexity Workshop that @AFcrew & I led at @republica link.medium.com/cSSTjbJMFAb // feat. @snowded ⁦@avantgame⁩ ++
