Update: Transitioned over to @rumon@mstdn.ca. ✌️
Now tooting / cross-posting / experimenting at [email protected] (for now, until I shift to either mstdn.ca or something self-hosted).
I won’t lie, this one jumped out at me from my New Episodes list, no idea why 😳😉

Worthwhile listen IMO (and I’ve been generally enjoying this new joint from @Freakonomics’ Dubner).
Working to get back into the writing groove - starting with some personally-centred stuff - while also experimenting with variations of the “POSSE method” recently learned of via @doctorow.
Read “On extending our last time(s)“ by rumon carter on Medium: rumon.medium.com/on-extendin…
“Freedom does not mean the absence of responsibilities. Freedom means you get to choose your responsibilities.”
A reflection on the entanglements of freedom and responsibility, by way of Jim Collins, in his book, “What to Make of a Life”:

“We are all carvers [referring to the totem at the center of she & @Rezadar9’s new book]. … Everyone has a role contributing to making Canada the country that it can be.”

While I've continued to do a bunch of work in the #govtech / #publicinteresttechnology space, I've been doing is mostly quietly, my primary focuses elsewhere. A recent call-for-startups has sparked me to re-engage and ask: Is it Time for BCDevExchange2.0? medium.com/in-service/is-it-…
A gift to be in the territory of the @SquamishNation earlier this week to be part of celebrating an amazing colleague, Leah, who’s a finalist for a @BCPublicService Emerging Leader Premier’s Award. An especial gift to have one of my fave people, @Louise_Hartland, interviewing me.
Gratitude to our site hosts for the day, Kirby & the @seatoskygondola team - shout-outs also to that crew while here for their generous, innovative @bcparksfdn partnership - and the BC Parks Alice Lake team. 🙏❤️

“What makes life worth living? No child asks itself that question. To children, life is self-evident. Life goes without saying: whether it is good or bad makes no difference. This is because children don’t see the world, don’t observe the world, don’t contemplate the world, but are so deeply immersed in the world that they don’t distinguish between it and their own selves. Not until … a distance appears between what they are and what the world is, does the question arise: what makes life worth living?”
— Karl Ove Knausgård
Proof of posting, alongside prior “art” including a BC Parks Commitment to Inclusion poster and an “It’s ok to …” list remixed from the Giles Turnbull / @GDSTeam OG.
What are you going to do NOW?
Just wrapping a weekend re-read of Jim Collins’ small but mighty “Good to Great and the Social Sectors” monograph. Unintended 💯pairing with my last post, in celebration of UN #publicserviceday today. 👏
👏 to all those working to cultivate value for planet + publics, inside and beyond governments. Gonna print out a large format version of this manifesto on the plotter tomorrow and post it outside my office.
Today is United Nations #PublicServiceDay! We couldn’t let this day go by without taking the opportunity to celebrate public servants around the world. 💫Here's our public service manifesto, created by our global community – thank you for all that you do! apolitical.co/pages/manifest…
One of our back yard Qowlity Assurance team’s two junior interns is on-task today as I make my way through Saturday chores.
Grateful to the team at the @exchangelab for sharing a bit of the story of our work on developing data registers with/in BC Parks, and how we hope & intend this work to contribute to incremental - though meaningful - Reconciliation progress. linkedin.com/posts/rumon_mis…
Currently: Fielding test prep texts from my bonusdaughter about the process/timeline of adoption of UNDRIP. Casting back to when I was in grade 11, can’t help thinking the extent to which this little exchange between us is an expression of how far we’ve come. 🧡#paddletogether

And then there’s my work feed, already lighting up, too soon in the year, with wildfire response activities. Sending solidarity to the people of Fort Nelson.
Parker Lake Ecological Reserve is in the area, but not typically accessed so no current impacts. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…
