🌿 Life, While You Grieve

My darling the dangerlam has contributed to the Collect exhibition—a collective of artists, friends and shared studios creating unique artworks through a diverse range of mediums in response to the word “Collect”. Here is a collection of hand-drawn polaroid portraits of a solemn, grieving person. I reference the ritual

🦊 Come What May

Today, the first day of May, is as good day as any for you to declare some sort of foolish new habit. A new errant quest to win back the affection of your muse, and to show your daemon who’s in control (probably them). Or perhaps a ridiculous and

🎭 Do you serve your client—or their context?

This is a trick question I was asked at the end of a fabulous conversation on the alchemy of group facilitation with Myriam Hadnes on her podcast. I answered it correctly—but it’s the one thing that, in hindsight, I wish I had elucidated upon further. The rest of

🦊 Surreptitious obliquity

Here’s a word apt for any complexity practitioner, trickster and rogue: obliquity. I came across it after reading another one of those posts by Dave Snowden that had me highlighting more words than not. This particular note resonated muchly— Working obliquely also means less public commitment to solving a

🌿 Perfect Days

Wim Wenders has made, what seems to me, a perfect movie. The dangerlam and I saw it last night at the historical Sun Theatre as part of a launch event for Cinemagoer, and... it’s been a long time since I have felt this moved. I won’t do the

✨ Bonini’s spellbook

It has been a bit over two weeks since I started sharing pages from my spellbook. The idea is to share shorter and slightly more practical posts betwixt the deeper museletters I’ve been writing for the past few years. I’ve four posts for you thus far. 🧙🏻‍♂️ Moloch Media

🎭 Weaponised naïveté

One of the most important things an external facilitator can bring to a context is not their “expertise”—it’s their lack of knowing the dynamics of your context.* This naïveté allows us to thus ask the taboo questions with impunity, to great affect. * This goes against the default advice

🦊 Reject fake arguments

Here is a way, I hope, for you to save yourself from pointless, frustrating and/or time-wasting battles with trolls online. It was directly inspired by a passage from Neal Stephenson’s Fall; or, Dodge in Hell. Note: the following post contains a minor spoiler. Adam Roberts summarises the 2019

🎭 Down with downlighting

Lights should not be placed in ceilings. For thousands of years we humans have sat by campfires at night. In pre-modern times, we might have lit a torch, or a candle in a sconce. If we were particularly fancy, we would have had a suspended candelabra or chandelier. But only

🧙🏻‍♂️ Moloch media

I have been on a distinctly anti-genocidal bent in recent months, which has been somewhat career-limiting. Instead of using the platform of LinkedIn to humblebrag about my many successes, I have mostly been highlighting the continuing atrocities being committed by Western governments in Gaza, along with the moral depravity of

Have my ravens deliver The Museletter to you, so that you might be a more effective imposter within the mythical ‘future of leadership’. I also share glimmers, cantrips, spells, and other heretical musings.
