A busy and packed trip to Baltimore and Tampa this week prevented much in the way of blogging, but there were several links of note that crossed my attention.

• A Metis blogger called “âpihtawikosisân” has been producing some incredible stuff on Attawapiskat and the decline of useful conversation in the public sphere.  I have much more to say about this.
• Related to this, some youth at Rosebud have asserted their desire not to be a part of the poverty pornography industry, indulged in by network TV news.
• You need power to change things of course, but when you don’t have it, their are some options.  Tom Atlee processes lessons about power from the #Occupy movement, while Seth Godin talks about what you can do in more mundane organizational settings.
• And if you’re really down and out, you’re probably already in the majority of people in the world making a living under the radar.  Robert Neuwirth thinks you’re leading edge.
