What’s this cave

Hi I am Yufei 🌴 🪨🪰

Some friends tell me I am like an odd rock or ugly tree from afar, only to uncover after some hard work on their part that I am actually a cool jade or warm human inside (aka beneficial?!). As much as I like the uniqueness of an ugly tree, I want to expose the jade and human side more because connection feels so good.

So this is an experimental platform or blog where I share! Currently I put my readable journals, learnings, hypotheses, zines, diagrams, stories, conversations, research notes. The main topics now are Hawaii, China, kindredness, citizen sciece, many ways of knowing, collective intelligence, land-based communities, simulation, drawing.

My goal is to find people to discuss and collaborate and befriend. If you see anything that resonates or you are also thinking and feeling about, please please: text me at yufeixiao0[at]gmail[dot]com, or put a random block into https://www.are.na/amoe-bashi/personal-empirical-toolchest

嗨,我是图匪🌴 🪨🪰

有朋友说我像一块古怪的石头或远处看来的丑树,只有经过一番努力后,他们才会发现我其实是块酷炫的玉石或温暖的人类(大概算有益?!)。虽然我也喜欢丑树的独特,但我更想展现玉石和人性的一面,因为与人联结的感觉太美好了。

所以这是一个实验性的平台或博客,用来分享!目前我会放上可读的日记、学习心得、假设、小册子、图表、故事、对话和研究笔记。现在的主题包括夏威夷、中国、亲缘关系、公民科学、多元认知方式、集体智慧、土地社群、模拟和绘画。

我的目标是找到可以讨论、合作和交友的人。如果你看到任何共鸣的内容,或也在思考和感受类似事物,请务必务必:发邮件至yufeixiao0[at]gmail[dot]com,或在are.na的这个页面随意添加一块内容。

Who am I

Maybe I can start with my world? I feel like we live in this not-yet-done, always shaping, birthing, dying, transforming world. I am part of this organism but I am also an organism, it’s really weird and fun to figure out how to live this way. I cherish our potential to learn anything and turn any dream to reality, and navigate our energy towards the good direction that we can morph into.

或许可以从我的世界说起?我觉得我们生活在一个尚未完成、不断塑造、诞生、消亡和转化的世界里。我是这个有机体的一部分,但我本身也是一个有机体,以这种方式生活既奇怪又有趣。我珍视我们学习任何事物、将梦想化为现实的能力,并将能量引导至我们可以蜕变的良性方向。
