Love Letter #14

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Hej, We hope you're well! This is the last newsletter of 2020 and we've packed it with loads of good stuff that you can consume during the holidays. A report based on last week's Tomorrow Club with insights on how we actually can redesign existing structures, some inspiring reads perfect for cozying up on your couch, and some interesting talks we've stumbled upon and got recommended by new and old friends. Enjoy! 01 Tomorrow Club #4 —  The newly released report (and why you should read it) "Why do we do things that aren't good for us? Because it feels good and it's hard to break old patterns" — Klara Adolphson put it very well there. Many of us keep doing things in the same old way although we know we could do better. So, how can we break those patterns? And what systems need to be changed now? In the report, you'll find answers to why we all should be making choices that benefit the environment as well as others around us, who has the power to redesign structures, and how we can change ingrained narratives — once and for all. All of this (and so much more) to download here. 02 Read & Watch > Re: cancel culture Prof. Loretta J. Ross suggests to call people in, instead of calling them out. Read here. > Cross-dressing appliances reveals design's gender bias — Karin Ehrnberger By simply designing a drill that looks like a blender and a blender that looks like a drill, design researcher Karin Ehrnberger exposes the way in which conventional design assigns an unnecessary gender to products. But the real problem, she explains, is that this gendered styling is a reflection of society, where traditionally male products and activities are valued more. Watch here. (Recommended in last week's Tomorrow Club by Klara Adolphson — thanks, Klara!)  > A healthy economy should be designed to thrive, not grow What would a healthy sustainable, universally beneficial system look like? "Like a doughnut", according to Oxford economist Kate Raworth. Watch her talk here.  03 Happy Holidays!  The whole Another Tomorrow team wishes you and your loved ones from the bottom of our hearts:  God jul & gott nytt år! 圣诞快乐，新年快乐！ Feliz Natal e bom ano novo!
