I wrote 'On Smallness and Power' back in 2018.
I think a lot of effort has gone into convincing people to feel powerless, or to feel empowered by things which don't actually achieve much, and certainly don't threaten the status quo.
It's easy to feel small, in a neoliberal society. To feel like none of the options we're presented with will make much difference. Which they probably won't - that's why we need to look out for courses of action that we're *not* presented with.
Anyway, I made a recording and put it on #SoundCloud. I'll be turning it into a video soon, but for now here's the #audio:

I made a video of 'On Smallness and Power'.
I used lots of #timelapse footage of skies over #Edinburgh, and a couple of short clips of @scrappapertiger and our dog, Kifl, and a few little #slomo clips of other things.
I hope you enjoy it.
