@lzg I think "expiring" is used that way sometimes, but not often enough to be natural. Closest I can think of is the phrase "at deaths door" or "on deaths doorstep" 🤔

@jenniferplusplus I find this analysis fascinating, but I'm not sure I fully get it. Would love to hear it spelled out a little more, if you have the time and inclination.

@inthehands it's funny, this usage change you note and the "literally" shift don't really bug me, but every time I hear "beg the question" used to mean "raise the question" I die a little inside.

@enobacon this looks pretty cool!

(I don't know if you're affiliated with the manufacturer or not, but I went to try to learn more and it appears that their website is fubar.)

@inthehands I really like your refocus on thinking of it as about the scale at which you are examining things.

But, one of the reasons the hierarchical view is so persistent is that org structure basically encapsulates hire/fire (and other) power relations.

What might it look like to have the scale responsibility preserved for different roles w/out the power hierarchy? I'm having trouble imagining it...

@inthehands even is situations like FOSS projects, often responsibility for more "zoomed out" issues is tied to more control over the project, which translates to control over participation for folks in more "zoomed in" roles.

@inthehands and in the more extreme cases, when the patriarchal/misogynist position is dominant in the environment, the dynamic is more overtly threatening: Either you participate in and enforce the toxic definition of masculinity, or you are the target of it's violent enforcement.

@inthehands How do you feel about the drawdown project? https://drawdown.org/

@marthawells I will shamelessly plug the website of my teen jeweler: https://www.IdleTalons.com They do stone and silver work of various kinds. Almost all the stone they (or others of our family) found and cut.
