My essay “Purple Basil Lemonade: Community Rituals for Crip Pasts / Presents / Futures” has been published in the open-access journal New Sociology!

This paper is about making & sharing purple basil lemonade as a method of re-turning (to) the past; refusing capitalist, ableist, and eugenic presents; and dreaming alternative futures that resist the false dichotomy of COVID endangerment vs. isolation.

I don't post there very often, but when I do, it's normally about some of the following: #MentalHealth #PeerSupport #Research #FuturesStudies #MadStudies #DisabilityStudies #Workshop #Dreaming #Hope #Futurity #Poetry

In February, I facilitated a workshop mapping the futures of #MentalHealth and #Addictions #PeerSupport.

We discussed:
1) visions of the future we are being pulled towards
2) trends of the present pushing us toward particular futures
3) barriers to our preferred futures
4) emerging issues that could dramatically shape the future of peer support

A summary of our discussion is available on the PeerWorks blog:

Just released a new zine, called "The Future is Blue"!

It's a zine about the utopian resonance of the colour blue and cyanotyping as an aesthetic, epistemic, and temporal strategy for envisioning alternative futures.

This is a limited print run of 20ish zines, featuring individually-printed cyanotype covers.

Available for purchase through my zine shop, with worldwide shipping!

#utopia #futurity #FuturesStudies #zine #blue #PrussianBlue #cyanotype #AlternativePhotography #PrintMaking

a spread of the zine, "The Future is Blue: cyanotypes, temporality, and utopian horizons." Printed in blue, the front cover has a sketch of cyanotype chemicals, and the back cover has a picture of a payphone. The back cover quotes a conversation: "But what does blue stand for?" "I don't know. Hope, maybe."

A stack of five zines printed in varying hues of blue.

my major research paper, Dreaming Peer Support Futures, is now available online!

drawing on frameworks of #futurity, #utopia, and #dream(ing), as well as practices of #diffraction and #zine making methods, my research explores the question: “what could a lens of futurity offer the discipline of consumer/survivor #PeerSupport?”

A month ago, I quietly launched my #zine shop -- thought it was about time that I shared it here!

https://ko-fi.com/calvinprocyon/shop

my zines explore themes of #MentalHealth / #madness , #PeerSupport #utopia , #dreaming , #futurity , and #community , through the lens of #MadStudies , #DisabilityStudies , and #FuturesStudies .

Over the next while I'll share a little bit about some of my zines I currently have for sale in this thread.

Boosts appreciated!

Hello #Mastodon!

Testing this platform.

Are there any fellow philosophers and futures researchers?

What are plausible scenarios of #Futures of #AugmentedReality in public #spaces over the next decade? How could AR effect societies, politics, economies and the environment?

Great to collaborate with Niklas Gudowsky @ Institute for Technology Assessment of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Jackie Kowalski on this project and article.

Saw a person propose a summer reading list for futures interested people and it is crap.

Futures studies people have an extreme bias about the future being desirable. The whole book list is about this idea. That's not guaranteed at all and it creates a blind spot. Consider possible negative scenarios and bad outcomes for a complete picture of the future.

Read Breaking Together by Jem Bendell and At Work In The Ruins by Dougald Hine, and also see the recent paper in Nature about planetary boundaries (posted earlier today).

These extreme positive near term scenarios are also extremely unlikely now. But if you talk to futures people they are way out in la la land and will react negatively to the idea.

If you are a Futurist or working closely with Foresight activities, it would be great to be connected!

I'm doing currently research related to the topic "How to implement value generating Foresight process and how to integrate it into company's everyday management processes."

I'm going to open my website at the beginning of March, where you can find articles, blogs, videos, podcasts, and links to Foresight-related topics.
