-   Read: [[For a Red Zoopolis]]
    -   Very good.  On [[eco-socialism]].  I like the description of a what [[abundance]] could actually mean.
    -   Also introduced me to the idea of a [[Zoopolis]]…

-   I have oscillatory waves of activity on my garden.
    -   Sometimes I have blocks of focus on the mechanics of how the garden works.
        -   All the PKM, zettelkasten, smart notes, kind of stuff.
    -   Then periods of time spent on the actual content.
        -   Reading, taking notes, writing about politics, technology, the environment, etc.
    -   Occasionally there is a moment of harmony between the waves where the two almost intersect.
        -   e.g. critical theory of social media, how digital gardens, the Agora, fit in to that, etc.
