Fine article on funder collaboratives by Cynthia Gibson and Jen Bokoff. By "funders" are meant established foundations, or "grantmakers." With so many tens of millions seething, who is organizing citizens in collabortives to fund "human flourishing" under the noses of the properly constituted authorities? Even though my view of flourishing is not in line with my boss's, Mistress Candidia, she who rules us all in Wealth Bondage, I did ask her for a capacity building grant. It went better than I expected. "Gawd, you crack me up," she said. "I knew there was a reason I keep you around. You are a comedian. I like that. Maybe you could also learn to sing and tap dance. Funding the capacity of losers to flourish. What a fucking hoot!" Well, I had feared she would have me flogged, so comparatively speaking it's Eudaimonia to me.
