I have already written a lot about the concept “milieu” … and yet I feel I need to point out that the way the word is commonly used seems rather misleading (at least to me). The common understanding of milieu is rather static, I think. It seems like people map into particular milieus in a… Continue reading One Milieu vs Many Milieus

Imma Throw the Book at You
I love this contraction! Book people prolly aren’t familiar with many of the popular time-saving contractions in use online, and this one is really oustanding. It’s actually a sort of double-(or triple?)-contraction: both “I’m” and “gonna” are contractions, and then the “-m-” is also a contraction of a bunch of apparently superfluous sounds and the… Continue reading Imma Throw the Book at You
Bike Trippin’
Over the past few days, the local weather has been unusually excellent. So while I regularly ride my bicycle on a daily basis regardless of the weather, I have taken the “fair weather” opportunity to take my bike out on a few extra tours. I guess in most so-called “advanced” economies bicycle riders are considered… Continue reading Bike Trippin’
Literacy + Publicacy, School + Society
Today I was reminded of an article I wrote probably well over a decade ago, but for which my language at the time had not developed enough vocabulary to talk about the topic in a way that made sense to most people. It made sense to a few, but a few people do not make… Continue reading Literacy + Publicacy, School + Society

I wish to acknowledge that Dunbar’s work is a wonderful… Continue reading Building on Dunbar
Exploring Expectations
I have great expectations, and these are things I constantly seem to struggle with. Yet I do not feel like I am struggling with myself or my own expectations of myself. On the contrary: I feel like I struggle first and foremost with my expectations of others, with feeling disappointed, and with trying to manage… Continue reading Exploring Expectations
The Social Construction of Publishing
In my opinion there is not actually just one construct of publishing, I discern at least two such social constructs — perhaps there are even more, but let’s start with the one most people are already somewhat familiar with. Authors. Blank pages. Pens, ink blots and such. Today, maybe desktop PCs — or sitting in… Continue reading The Social Construction of Publishing
Eradicating Estates, Building Pillars in their Place
Their is a vision haunting my mind: That vision is a phenomenon – an abstraction – which exists between people. For me, this phenomenon seems completely obvious. It is not a new phenomenon, yet it has hardly been understood very well. I dream of its existence day and night, and it appears so significant to… Continue reading Eradicating Estates, Building Pillars in their Place
