Frost isn’t just frost. It’s part of a system. This reflection starts with a frosty morning in Canberra—but ends up somewhere much bigger. On systems, survival, and finding the spaces we can thrive in—slowly, carefully, on our own terms. ❄️ Best, Jax tinyurl.com/2vunxpew

Ever thought about a fridge as a living system? Me neither—until I did. Turns out, it’s a perfect metaphor for how our environments shape us. 🌱 Plus, a special offer to map your living systems with me. shorturl.at/MOrte #RegenerativeDesign #SystemsThinking #Cybernetics #Gen2200 #LivingSystems"**

🌼 Ever seen a digger driver wave at a toddler? It’s more than cute — it’s a glimpse of a living system in motion. I wrote about that, and some other things. Full moon edition’s just out 🌕 shorturl.at/5apZi

Nature has survived and flourished for billions of years through principles and systems that protect all parts of the whole. When we stray from these roots, we suffer from imbalance and inequity across our organizations and our societies. Poverty is a symptom of unnatural leadership.

Speaking of the collapse of societies, as one might, I rediscovered this reading list of ~65 books a friend and I assembled 1.5 years ago, when times were simpler. (Didn't seem that way at the time, but Events Have Transpired.) chronicles-of-change.collectivesensecommons.org

🚀 A Machine To Help Us Imagine This issue: a Future Option Generator: a cyber-physical system that thinks 200 years ahead, then works back to now. 🔮at shorturl.at/4RE9F #FutureThinking #Cybernetics #ImaginationAndTechnology #Gen2200 & Thanks bsky.app/profile/pixe... for MidJourney tuition )

A weathered red vending machine with large, expressive eyes stands alone beside a leaning power pole in a dry, grassy field under a bright blue sky. Its surface is covered in stickers, evoking a sense of curiosity, nostalgia, and abandoned technology waiting to be reimagined. Overlaid text reads: “27. Cyborgs, Futures, and the Machine that Helps Us Imagine – Building a Cyber-Physical System to Help Us Think Like Futurists.”

🚀 New on Toward Gen2200 “I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess.” Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto shaped my ideas on tech, identity and power. Re-reading today—International Women’s Day—it is right for our time. AI, labour and the fight for imagination. 🌿🤖 open.substack.com/pub/jaxnic/p...

A stylized, surreal artwork featuring a humanoid figure with a round, metallic-looking face, dark hollow eyes, and a tall headdress made of sharp, red-brown leaves. The figure is dressed in a patchwork-style outfit with earthy tones, holding two thin wires with abstract, geometric shapes attached at the ends. The background is muted beige with subtle textures. Overlaid on the image is the article title: ‘26. I’d Rather Be a Cyborg Than a Goddess – Reflections on A Cyborg Manifesto for IWD 2025.’ Below it, a short excerpt from the article begins, and at the bottom, the Substack URL ‘JAXNIC.SUBSTACK.COM’ is displayed.

Queer, Here and Not Going Anywhere At 6, I left a love note under my mother’s pillow. It was for a boy. I thought I was straight. Fast forward through queer 90s Sydney—Mardi Gras, activism, HIV/AIDS, drag, chosen family—to now, late 50s, updating my pronouns. We need visibility more than ever.
