Summer is a season that elicits nostalgia like none other for me. I long to recapture the lazy, sun-soaked days of my childhood when time stretched like Silly Putty. I want the carefree aesthetic portrayed in media – beach days, fireflies, and ice cream. In my mind, everything was great way back when. Except…it wasn’t. More in this week's post.

The Nostalgia Trap

I blog every Monday at www.anotherworldisprobable.com and this podcast is me reading those posts.

For years people asked me whether I had a blog and the answer was always "no," until one day it was, "yes."

I started "Another World is Probable" as a nod to the World Social Forum's annual theme, "Another World is Possible." There's also that quote from Arundhati Roy who says, "Another world is not only possible, she's on the way and, on a quiet day, if you listen very carefully you can hear her breathe."

In my opinion, we've moved beyond the cusp of possibility and into the realm of reality.
