    <p>As much value as Twitter can bring to the web community, in terms of discussion: one thing it’s terrible for is statements, like this:</p>

 <blockquote><p>“...Web Components have failed”</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/kylemathews/status/1114288205367525377?s=21">Kyle Mathews - 05/04/2019</a></p></blockquote>

 <p>This particular example of absolutistism is more than likely to be framed as a comparison to React, by proxy of the author’s apparent interests. That statement in the context of the wider web is fundamentally wrong, though. But, it’s also an understandable opinion to hold based on the common attitude of what I presume is his echo chamber is: the React community.</p>

 <p>I’m also probably in an echo chamber—the so-called “Old Guard”—so I also often find myself making absolutist statements of the opposite opinion. I am working hard to get out of my echo chamber, though by trying to follow more moderate members of the React community to try to see things from their perspective, rather than my own pessimistic perspective.</p>

 <p>We should try hard to break out of our echo chambers because if not, it’s easy to forget and discount the wider community, which often results in less desirable outcomes. Brexit is now a classic example of this, because in my echo chamber, we were all flabbergasted at the result, because we all generally float around the left of the political spectrum. We’re all mostly middle class, too. A serious lesson was learned about how people who were systemically screwed over by successive governments were presented with genuine change and understandably snatched at it. Yet, people in my echo chamber have the audacity to call these voters “stupid”, which is incredibly unfair and short-sighted.</p>

 <p><hr/><p>So much of my echo chamber is consumed by people, including myself, who have a very dim view of JavaScript frameworks being thrown at everything, arguing with the people who are in the process of throwing JavaScript frameworks at everything. We forget one very important thing, though: we represent the <em>minority</em> of the web community and our arguments probably look very pointless and silly to the <em>majority</em>.</p><p>The <em>majority</em> of the web community are probably building—y’know—modest websites. There’s a reason why <a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all">WordPress powers 33.5% of the web</a>: because most of the web isn’t big applications or design systems—it’s straight-up websites. We would all do well to remember that.</p><p>To tie all this back to Web Components and React: saying “Web Components have failed” in the context of a certain, <em>minority</em> echo chamber might well be true. Web Components are, however, probably going to be more useful to the <em>majority</em> of the web community, who’d benefit from an encapsulated, low-level primitive to enhance their modest website. Let’s also not forget that they are currenly very useful to folks building all sorts of exciting things.</p><p>We should try harder as a whole web community to break out of our echo chambers, and appreciate other’s, conflicting views more. This includes me, especially.</p></p>

 title: Break out of the echo chamber

 hash_url: 00011f902c5c3ba730866d4e86287a97

 <p>As much value as Twitter can bring to the web community, in terms of discussion: one thing it’s terrible for is statements, like this:</p><blockquote><p>“...Web Components have failed”</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/kylemathews/status/1114288205367525377?s=21">Kyle Mathews - 05/04/2019</a></p></blockquote><p>This particular example of absolutistism is more than likely to be framed as a comparison to React, by proxy of the author’s apparent interests. That statement in the context of the wider web is fundamentally wrong, though. But, it’s also an understandable opinion to hold based on the common attitude of what I presume is his echo chamber is: the React community.</p><p>I’m also probably in an echo chamber—the so-called “Old Guard”—so I also often find myself making absolutist statements of the opposite opinion. I am working hard to get out of my echo chamber, though by trying to follow more moderate members of the React community to try to see things from their perspective, rather than my own pessimistic perspective.</p><p>We should try hard to break out of our echo chambers because if not, it’s easy to forget and discount the wider community, which often results in less desirable outcomes. Brexit is now a classic example of this, because in my echo chamber, we were all flabbergasted at the result, because we all generally float around the left of the political spectrum. We’re all mostly middle class, too. A serious lesson was learned about how people who were systemically screwed over by successive governments were presented with genuine change and understandably snatched at it. Yet, people in my echo chamber have the audacity to call these voters “stupid”, which is incredibly unfair and short-sighted.</p><hr/><p>So much of my echo chamber is consumed by people, including myself, who have a very dim view of JavaScript frameworks being thrown at everything, arguing with the people who are in the process of throwing JavaScript frameworks at everything. We forget one very important thing, though: we represent the <em>minority</em> of the web community and our arguments probably look very pointless and silly to the <em>majority</em>.</p><p>The <em>majority</em> of the web community are probably building—y’know—modest websites. There’s a reason why <a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all">WordPress powers 33.5% of the web</a>: because most of the web isn’t big applications or design systems—it’s straight-up websites. We would all do well to remember that.</p><p>To tie all this back to Web Components and React: saying “Web Components have failed” in the context of a certain, <em>minority</em> echo chamber might well be true. Web Components are, however, probably going to be more useful to the <em>majority</em> of the web community, who’d benefit from an encapsulated, low-level primitive to enhance their modest website. Let’s also not forget that they are currenly very useful to folks building all sorts of exciting things.</p><p>We should try harder as a whole web community to break out of our echo chambers, and appreciate other’s, conflicting views more. This includes me, especially.</p>

    <div class="pg-entry" id="newJersey"><p id="text-HE5HYJZDD5BRRIMZHSROPDIHQE" class="pg-body-copy">ILES-DE-LA-MADELEINE, QUEBEC — High on a bluff overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Adele Chiasson no longer ventures into her backyard for a simple reason: It is falling into the sea.</p><p id="text-RHH5NLSAFJBMHGXZ6J6ECVZJNU" class="pg-body-copy">“I’m afraid to go out there,” the widow said one afternoon from the safety of her kitchen. She nodded toward the 70-foot-tall, red sandstone cliffs out back that creep closer with each passing year. “You never know when a section will fall off.”</p><p id="text-RFJKUOOH3RFYFG2DJ3JSDUPS3Y" class="pg-body-copy">Decades ago, when she and her husband moved to this modest house with its majestic views, they never imagined a vanishing coastline might one day drive them away. But the sea long ago claimed the ground where their children once played. An abandoned road out back has mostly crumbled into the surf below. Two of her neighbor’s homes have been moved inland.</p><p id="text-6ZAIMIKDNNDKXOLESG67GP7MKI" class="pg-body-copy">The day might come when she, too, will be forced to abandon this precarious patch of earth. “I might not have a choice,” she says.</p><div id="image-PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM" class="pg-visual"><img id="image-PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM" class="lazyld" data-hi-res-src="./img/1800/PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" data-low-res-src="./img/1800/PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" src="./img/200/PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg"><div class="pg-caption"><p>An abandoned road is crumbling into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Adele Chiasson, a widow who lives nearby, said visitors “are shocked at the changes” that erosion has wrought on the cliffs. <span></span></p></div>
 </div>
 <p id="text-WGKKA76KVRAMNKZ43OO7E5IBOM" class="pg-body-copy">The more than 12,000 residents of this windswept Canadian archipelago are facing a growing number of gut-wrenching choices, as extreme climate change transforms the land and water around them. Season after season, storm after storm, it is becoming clearer that the sea, which has always sustained these islands, is now their greatest threat.</p><div class="temp-changer"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i><p class="pg-body-copy temp-text">Click any temperature underlined in the story to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit</p></div>
 <p id="text-AUIR3VMCAJGTVKELCTTV5WFHNA" class="pg-body-copy first-temp">A Washington Post examination of the fastest-warming places around the world has found that the Magdalen Islands, as they are known in English, have warmed <span>2.3 degrees Celsius (4.2 degrees Fahrenheit)</span> since the late 19th century, twice the global average.</p><p id="text-B2LW3JI7ZZHAZPUP6EWNOERZHE" class="pg-body-copy">As in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/climate-environment/climate-change-america/">New England</a>, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/climate-environment/climate-change-siberia/">Siberia</a> and other global hot spots<b> </b>at higher latitudes, winters here are heating up even more quickly, eclipsing <span>3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit)</span>. That change has fueled freezing and thawing cycles here that wreak havoc on the famous — and famously fragile — sandstone cliffs.</p></div>

 <p id="text-RZL6B2FAU5DA7HX3GYDWS2H6KQ" class="pg-body-copy">The sea ice that used to encase the islands most winters, shielding them from the brunt of fierce storms and pounding waves, is shrinking at a rate of about 555 square miles annually, data shows. That’s a swath of ice larger than Los Angeles.</p>

 <p id="text-O3FXN2VI2RFGVNENS2YN6MR5OU" class="pg-body-copy">Even as that natural defense collapses, sea levels have been rising at a rate roughly twice the global norm in recent years, researchers say.</p>

 <p id="text-ZB26CKDBWVCYPBJJ53WCYR7OAU" class="pg-body-copy">The result is an escalating battle against erosion and flooding — one that a growing number of coastal populations face, from islands in the South Pacific to communities along the U.S. East Coast.</p>

 <p id="text-E3A4T7VOHRGV7F7LIGU67454SQ" class="pg-body-copy">In the Magdalen Islands, the consequences are unmistakable: Some parts of the shoreline have lost as much as 14 feet per year to the sea over the past decade. Key roads face perpetual risk of washing out. The hospital and the city hall sit alarmingly close to deteriorating cliffs. Rising waters threaten to contaminate aquifers used for drinking water. And each year, the sea inches closer to more homes and businesses.</p>

 <p id="text-LD3ZVH2WQ5BNNOXJ6US7O2HIHE" class="pg-body-copy">Mario Cyr, the underwater cinematographer, said the bizarre lobster scene he witnessed on the sea floor last summer brought to mind Inuit hunters he’d met in the Arctic, where climate change has shifted hunting seasons in confounding ways and altered the rhythms of everyday life.</p><p id="text-UCQUOD7F6RGC5PSZIY7O2724W4" class="pg-body-copy">“Right now, we are lucky,” said Cyr, 59. “We have the ideal temperature for lobsters.

Several homes were destroyed, including along a popular strip lined with about 30 seaside cottages that officials now insist will be abandoned for good over the next year — the latest retreat, but certainly not the last.</p><p id="text-V7SQPL5XUNB5VL5OCYQKTCRWKQ" class="pg-body-copy">The storm tossed boats ashore like bath toys. Massive waves pounded the sandstone cliffs, tearing away large sections in places. Storm surges blocked roads.

Some probably haven’t slept and today are seeing their investments, their dreams and goals swept away.”</p><p id="text-KQ7SLUMT7JA7LKJUGKR5SZECAY" class="pg-body-copy">One of those people was Cynthia Baril, who co-owns two rental cottages on the quaint strip that will now be surrendered to the sea. She has spent long hours trying to find a new place to move the homes, agonizing over the small fortune it will take to do so and mourning the loss of a place she called “a little paradise.”</p><p id="text-N6B3MDXGEFDOXHL6WYKRI2K56E" class="pg-body-copy">“Has Dorian caused significant damage?” she asked. “Yes, and not just to the cottages, but to people, too.”</p><div class="bigbox-wrapper text-center"><div class="bottom-ad--bigbox ad--desktop"><wp-ad id="slug_bigbox_2"></wp-ad></div>

 <p id="text-INPNQLY5PRDWJEWYELD6E6RTUY" class="pg-body-copy">Bourgeois said residents have reacted with their typical resilience, but also with a measure of acceptance about what increasingly seems like a new reality. Two crippling storms had hit the islands in 10 months, the second during a time of year that typically is calm. Now, the winter storm season lies ahead, and with it, another season of uncertainty and angst.</p><p id="text-Z6BGKYTFXJGLJCU4V2EZXGTLIA" class="pg-body-copy">Crews continue fortifying parts of Route 199, trying to hold the swelling waters at bay. The fishermen have stored their wooden traps until spring, when they can return to the lobster-filled gulf. Adele Chiasson sits in her house atop the bluff, hoping the cliffs keep their distance. She tried to sell several years ago, but there were no takers.</p><p id="text-LM3JETH22RCURGFDNN5D5YSMXY" class="pg-body-copy">“A lot of people really liked the house,” she said, “but when they went out back, they were afraid.”</p><p id="text-O3EXUNJCZNB2BLU23NPHX3OG6M" class="pg-body-copy">Like other Madelinots, she is left to wait and worry, to hope and to carry on.</p><p id="text-AJY4YCEEDJGVPNBERADCOEPYA4" class="pg-body-copy">“Nous sommes entourés par l’océan.

 title: Canada climate change: Quebec’s islands are crumbling

 <div class="pg-entry" id="newJersey"><p id="text-HE5HYJZDD5BRRIMZHSROPDIHQE" class="pg-body-copy">ILES-DE-LA-MADELEINE, QUEBEC — High on a bluff overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Adele Chiasson no longer ventures into her backyard for a simple reason: It is falling into the sea.</p><p id="text-RHH5NLSAFJBMHGXZ6J6ECVZJNU" class="pg-body-copy">“I’m afraid to go out there,” the widow said one afternoon from the safety of her kitchen. She nodded toward the 70-foot-tall, red sandstone cliffs out back that creep closer with each passing year. “You never know when a section will fall off.”</p><p id="text-RFJKUOOH3RFYFG2DJ3JSDUPS3Y" class="pg-body-copy">Decades ago, when she and her husband moved to this modest house with its majestic views, they never imagined a vanishing coastline might one day drive them away. But the sea long ago claimed the ground where their children once played. An abandoned road out back has mostly crumbled into the surf below. Two of her neighbor’s homes have been moved inland.</p><p id="text-6ZAIMIKDNNDKXOLESG67GP7MKI" class="pg-body-copy">The day might come when she, too, will be forced to abandon this precarious patch of earth. “I might not have a choice,” she says.</p><div id="image-PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM" class="pg-visual"><img id="image-PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM" class="lazyld" data-hi-res-src="./img/1800/PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" data-low-res-src="./img/1800/PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" src="./img/200/PAPLE7VUCEI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg"><div class="pg-caption"><p>An abandoned road is crumbling into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Adele Chiasson, a widow who lives nearby, said visitors “are shocked at the changes” that erosion has wrought on the cliffs. <span></span></p></div>
 </div>
 <p id="text-WGKKA76KVRAMNKZ43OO7E5IBOM" class="pg-body-copy">The more than 12,000 residents of this windswept Canadian archipelago are facing a growing number of gut-wrenching choices, as extreme climate change transforms the land and water around them. Season after season, storm after storm, it is becoming clearer that the sea, which has always sustained these islands, is now their greatest threat.</p><div class="temp-changer"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i><p class="pg-body-copy temp-text">Click any temperature underlined in the story to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit</p></div>
 <p id="text-AUIR3VMCAJGTVKELCTTV5WFHNA" class="pg-body-copy first-temp">A Washington Post examination of the fastest-warming places around the world has found that the Magdalen Islands, as they are known in English, have warmed <span>2.3 degrees Celsius (4.2 degrees Fahrenheit)</span> since the late 19th century, twice the global average.</p><p id="text-B2LW3JI7ZZHAZPUP6EWNOERZHE" class="pg-body-copy">As in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/climate-environment/climate-change-america/">New England</a>, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/climate-environment/climate-change-siberia/">Siberia</a> and other global hot spots<b> </b>at higher latitudes, winters here are heating up even more quickly, eclipsing <span>3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit)</span>. That change has fueled freezing and thawing cycles here that wreak havoc on the famous — and famously fragile — sandstone cliffs.</p></div>
 <p id="text-RZL6B2FAU5DA7HX3GYDWS2H6KQ" class="pg-body-copy">The sea ice that used to encase the islands most winters, shielding them from the brunt of fierce storms and pounding waves, is shrinking at a rate of about 555 square miles annually, data shows. That’s a swath of ice larger than Los Angeles.</p><p id="text-O3FXN2VI2RFGVNENS2YN6MR5OU" class="pg-body-copy">Even as that natural defense collapses, sea levels have been rising at a rate roughly twice the global norm in recent years, researchers say.</p><p id="text-ZB26CKDBWVCYPBJJ53WCYR7OAU" class="pg-body-copy">The result is an escalating battle against erosion and flooding — one that a growing number of coastal populations face, from islands in the South Pacific to communities along the U.S. East Coast.</p><p id="text-E3A4T7VOHRGV7F7LIGU67454SQ" class="pg-body-copy">In the Magdalen Islands, the consequences are unmistakable: Some parts of the shoreline have lost as much as 14 feet per year to the sea over the past decade. Key roads face perpetual risk of washing out. The hospital and the city hall sit alarmingly close to deteriorating cliffs. Rising waters threaten to contaminate aquifers used for drinking water. And each year, the sea inches closer to more homes and businesses.</p><div class="bigbox-wrapper text-center">
 <p id="text-43MNH2HJVRBXBM6D7UQIVQT3H4" class="pg-body-copy">Guillaume Marie, a geography professor at the University of Quebec at Rimouski, has studied coastal hazards around Quebec for years. He said the islands’ inhabitants are pioneers of a sort, as they wrestle with the daily challenges posed by climate change.</p><p id="text-G7MBIGUQV5EW7OT5LFAXGOAZT4" class="pg-body-copy">“In Quebec, it’s clearly the most vulnerable place,” he said. “They are the first ones who are facing these kinds of problems.”</p><p id="text-VB7GYEHPCNEYLGWLJF4IVWQEKU" class="pg-body-copy">Even the good news is worrisome, as Mario Cyr, a Magdalen Islands native and renowned underwater cinematographer, discovered last summer.</p><p id="text-EXZ2KAYM5ZBHZNVTFMHNODX4JE" class="pg-body-copy">Cyr, who has crisscrossed the world from the Arctic to Antarctica to film nature documentaries, was astounded by what he found when he went diving in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.</p><p id="text-NUIW2K7BCBCGVLQO6GHURII5DE" class="pg-body-copy">It was the end of the annual lobster season. Fishing crews had hauled millions of pounds of lobster from the gulf, reveling in historic catches. But when Cyr ventured roughly 50 feet down, he saw that the seafloor remained full of lobsters, almost as if the fishing had yet to begin.</p><p id="text-AWQ5UUM6PJE6HG25OUVCRU35IA" class="pg-body-copy">“It’s not normal,” he said one morning inside Bistro Plongée Alpha, the restaurant he owns on the northern tip of the islands.</p><div id="image-KQ7VAUD5XZERZDGOXTN4X73YNY" class="flow-wrapper"><img id="image-YN3PP2FUBYI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM" class="flow-visual" data-hi-res-src="./img/1800/YN3PP2FUBYI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" data-low-res-src="./img/1800/YN3PP2FUBYI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" src="./img/200/YN3PP2FUBYI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg"><div class="flow-caption"><p>The shoreline has crept within 20 feet of a home off Route 199. <span></span></p></div>

 <p id="text-LJMYWEP5YRAU3J6HQH6YVMRSYY" class="pg-body-copy">Like <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/climate-environment/climate-change-world/">baffled clammers</a> in Uruguay and the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/gone-in-a-generation/#lobster">struggling lobster industry</a> off the fast-warming coast of Rhode Island, islanders here are anxious about the shifting sea. The deep waters of the gulf also have warmed more than 2 degrees Celsius over the past century, scientists have found, raising concerns about the fisheries that power the economy in communities around coastal Quebec.</p><p id="text-4PO25D44HNCFZD3IUW3JQIOHTM" class="pg-body-copy">As residents witness the changes, they worry their children and grandchildren will inherit a far different place than the one they have always known. And as the growing problems threaten fragile infrastructure, local officials spend their days figuring out how to try to hold back the encroaching sea — and where to simply surrender to it.</p><div id="lobster-video" class="looping-video pg-visual" data-muted="true" data-uuid="fdad73d5-9c7f-4963-a88e-21d7d32dfb96"></div>

Now, if ice materializes at all around the islands in winter, “it is exceptional.”</p><p id="text-CG4AFOVPVJCDXL3FKPPUPALMIM" class="pg-body-copy">While year-to-year variability exists, the amount of sea ice that blankets the Gulf of St. Lawrence is shrinking at a rate of roughly 12 percent per decade, <a href="https://nsidc.org/data/smmr_ssmi_ancillary/regions/lawrence.html">according to data</a> from the National Snow and Ice Data Center.</p><p id="text-UZ4SNJLHJJETJINIDR4CYKHT5A" class="pg-body-copy">Walt Meier, a senior research scientist at the center, said the loss of sea ice leaves the islands exposed and ripe for erosion. “The presence of ice acts like a cover on the ocean that dampens the waves of winter storms,” he said.</p><div id="image-OYQILQFUCAI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM" class="pg-visual"><img id="image-OYQILQFUCAI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM" class="lazyld" data-hi-res-src="./img/1800/OYQILQFUCAI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" data-low-res-src="./img/1800/OYQILQFUCAI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg" src="./img/200/OYQILQFUCAI6TLGIDWCHXLGKOM.jpg"><div class="pg-caption"><p>Rhoda Davies, 101, has lived almost all her life in the same hilltop house in Old Harry, constructed with wood from a shipwreck.

 <p id="text-LEWNF2GWWVBG7IQSJ4VZ2O2XTI" class="pg-body-copy">A number of harrowing storms have clobbered the islands in recent years, including last November, when 75 mph winds and massive waves knocked out power and communication with mainland Quebec. Sections of the main road were damaged and sand dunes obliterated. The Canadian military <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/4713452/military-plane-headed-to-iles-de-la-madeleine-after-massive-wind-storm-cuts-communications/">flew in workers</a> to help restore power and check on residents.</p><p id="text-PTACZ7OWFNEA7C372KXIV6TITM" class="pg-body-copy">Isabelle Cormier, 42, who returned last year from Australia to raise her children on her native islands, said that storm left many people particularly rattled.</p><p id="text-CWOOAL4BQBG2VI7PPUYIWYHLCE" class="pg-body-copy">“This is home, and hopefully it will be here for a while. But I don’t know, it’s going quick,” said Cormier, who saw her family’s small beach cottage inundated after a towering dune that had shielded it for decades washed away in hours. “To witness it in one lifetime, it’s shocking.”</p><p id="text-BEVERYL2GBCSTPSUGU5W6CGNHQ" class="pg-body-copy">The islands have long been home to hardy French and English seafarers, who are no stranger to the risks posed by nature.</p><p id="text-6D4QBQTMN5EBVCPGRMGXDLGSBA" class="pg-body-copy">Inside a small, century-old church in Old Harry, hundreds of black-and-white portraits hang in tribute to those lost at sea over the decades.</p><p id="text-5L32VAY3XBCU5PZU6OSHB7IRDI" class="pg-body-copy">The <a href="https://www.tourismeilesdelamadeleine.com/en/discover-the-islands/unique-features-of-the-region/history/">Acadian refugees</a> who colonized the archipelago in the latter half of the 18th century brought with them their unique strain of French and their Catholic faith.

  <p>If we think of love as a feeling we tend to expect it to always feel good, a view that is self-focused + unrealistic. If we think of love as an action, we make room for the range of feelings that relationship involves, including disappointment, anger + frustration.<br/>

 </blockquote>

 <p>Depuis la fin de notre itinérance et le début de notre ancrage à Crest, plusieurs personnes sont venues prendre des nouvelles, demander comment ça allait, en disant : « si je m’en tiens à tes photos ça a l’air génial ! »<br/>
 À un moment où, en réalité, je traversais une période très difficile. Cet énorme décalage avec mon ressenti m’a fait un choc. Comme si j’avais trahi quelque chose qui me tenait beaucoup à cœur : être transparente sur les aspects difficiles de l’itinérance, ne pas en arrondir les angles pour présenter une version lisse, “acceptable” ou facile à fantasmer. Véhiculer des imaginaires creux, ça ne m’intéresse pas. Où était passée la ruguosité de nos expériences ?</p>

 <p>Je pense qu’on était au plus proche de cette intention de discours nuancé et fidèle à notre vécu quand on a écrit <a href="https://estcequecestdutravail.xyz/2018/09/joies-et-peines.html">nos joies et nos peines</a> à mi-parcours.</p>

 <p>Au-delà de ça, j’ai pris conscience que mes réseaux sociaux (et dans une certaine mesure la newsletter) proposaient des updates de la vie douce par facilité.<br/>
 Parce que la difficulté et la tristesse nécessitent plus de recul, parce qu’il faut attendre qu’un peu de clarté se dégage. Et sans doute aussi par pudeur : ce sont des parts qui touchent de près une intimité qui n’a pas forcément vocation à être dévoilée.<br/>
 Équilibre difficile à atteindre.</p>

 <p>Alors j’ai voulu raconter combien l’itinérance nous a mis à l’épreuve à la fois individuellement et dans notre relation.
 Comment on a tâtonné, quelles pistes on a trouvé, et comment on a bricolé des outils qui nous ont apporté un peu d’aide en chemin.</p>

 <h3 id="secouer-les-structures-de-stabilité">Secouer les structures de stabilité</h3>

 <p>Je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où on m’a parlé de <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramide_des_besoins#cite_note-2">la pyramide de Maslow</a>.</p>

 <p>Je me souviens avoir entendu quelqu’un dire que le changement provoque des réactions régressives,  comme des mécanismes de défense. Des choses qu’on n’aurait pas forcément faites si on ne s’était pas senti.e en insécurité.</p>

 <p>Il faut dire qu’on a cumulé :</p>

 <ul>
  <li>Ne pas avoir de logement qui serve d’ancre a chamboulé bien plus de choses qu’on ne l’imaginait au départ.</li>
  <li>Trimballer ses affaires de maison en maison toutes les semaines pendant un an, c’est parfois super, et parfois terriblement éprouvant.</li>
  <li>Vous vous souvenez d’une période de chômage, où vous vous sentiez déboussolé.e à la suite de journées déstructurées et sans l’injonction du “je dois aller au boulot” ? L’itinérance, c’est un peu comme ça, mais cette fois-ci on jouait à deux.</li>
  <li>Parce qu’il est un peu doux-dingue, Thomas s’est dit que ça serait un super moment pour terminer son livre. L’écriture étant un exercice-souffrance exemplaire.</li>
  <li>Soyons clair.es, dans l’itinérance, une des seules constantes c’est d’être à deux… Quelle place alors pour le temps seul.e ? Comment l’organiser ?</li>
 </ul>

 <h3 id="dès-le-deuxième-mois-on-a-une-conversation-qui-ressemble-fort-à-une-crise-et-qui-va-durer-huit-mois">Dès le deuxième mois, on a une conversation qui ressemble fort à une crise, et qui va durer huit mois</h3>

 <p>Bien sûr, la quête d’un nouveau lieu de vie, c’est à la fois un projet extraordinaire et totalement vertigineux : une des réponses à l’itinérance aurait tout à fait pu être une séparation.<br/>
 Mais il se produit un truc, un lien qu’on ne veut pas lâcher.<br/>
 Alors comment faire pour gérer nos besoins, nos peurs, nos problèmes de communication ?</p>

 <p>Un jour, je suis tombée sur l’article <a href="https://medium.com/@alannallama/running-agile-scrum-on-our-relationship-9b2085c5d747">Running Agile Scrum on our Relationship</a>.<br/>
 Qu’est-ce que c’est ?</p>

 <blockquote>
  <p>My partner and I are process nerds. Most projects we’re involved in use Agile, and it’s a set of tools and vocabulary we already share. We thought, why not run it on our relationship?<br/>
 In Agile Scrum development, a sprint is a set period of time during which specific work is completed and made ready for review. […] Continuous improvement is mainly achieved through Retrospectives, where the team reviews what happened during the sprint: what worked, what didn’t, and what could be improved.</p>
 </blockquote>

 <p>Peut être qu’on est des process nerds. En tous cas, nos vies personnelles et professionnelles se nourrissent l’une de l’autre, c’est aussi pour ça que notre blog s’appelle comme ça. Ça commence à faire un bail qu’on traîne dans des évènements professionnels qui parlent de la nécessité de vivre ses émotions. Et quel chantier.</p>

 <h3 id="on-a-commencé-à-se-donner-rendez-vous-pour-parler-de-nous">On a commencé à se donner rendez-vous pour parler de nous</h3>

 <p>En fait, on s’en fout du mot qu’on met dessus. Appeler ça “rétrospective” ou appeler ça autrement n’a aucune importance. Ce qui compte, ce sont ces moments où on sait qu’on passe du temps uniquement à prendre soin de nous et de notre relation.
 On a grandi dans des contextes qui nous ont appris à nous couper de nos émotions et à taire nos besoins, comment est-ce qu’on s’en défait ? Comment est-ce qu’on ré-apprend ensemble ?<br/>
 Et pourquoi est-ce qu’un rendez-vous apporterait quelque chose de différent ?</p>

 <p>Pour nous, ça a été l’occasion d’aborder des choses qu’on gardait pour nous, ne sachant pas quand ou comment les aborder. Les petites blessures qu’on pensait trop insignifiantes pour revenir dessus (mais qui alimentent la rancœur et globalement qui nous pourrissent la vie à petit feu), comme les gros trucs qu’on n’osait pas dire, qu’on n’osait pas avouer.<br/>
 L’accumulation, le secret et le manque de considération, cancers du quotidien.</p>

 <p>Les formats que je propose plus bas, je les ai adaptés de ce que j’ai trouvé soit <a href="https://retromat.org/fr/?id=2-33-20-48-16">ici</a>, soit <a href="https://gamestorming.com/">là</a>, soit dans mon cerveau.<br/>
 À vous de picorer et voir ce qui vous paraît le plus adapté à votre singularité et celle de votre relation, le but étant de ne rien forcer, de ne rien ériger en règle. Mieux vaut bricoler les formats qui nous conviennent et dans lesquels on peut se sentir le plus fidèle à soi. If this isn’t your jam, make your own.</p>

 <p><img src="/images/2019-07-07-weathers-of-the-heart/retro chat suisse.jpg" alt="Le cadre, c'est important"/>
 Soigner le cadre, c’est important.</p>

 <p>NB : j’écris cet article dans le contexte d’une relation monogame (mot affreux mais passons). Les relations ouvertes et/ou polyamoureuses ont exploré la sécurité affective depuis bien longtemps et ont certainement des manières super intéressantes d’aborder ce sujet. A voir si certaines sections de ces propositions peuvent s’adapter ou non à des participant.es multiples.</p>

 <h5 id="ouverture">Ouverture</h5>

 <p>• <strong>Météo</strong><br/>
 Grand classique. Tour rapide de parole pour dire comment chacun.e se sent : fatigué, débordant.e d’énergie, nerveux, serein.e…</p>

 <p>• <strong>Souvenirs de la dernière rétro.<br/>
 Comment se sent-on depuis ? Qu’est-ce qui a changé ?</strong></p>

 <h5 id="réparer">Réparer</h5>

 <p>• <strong>Merci</strong><br/>
 Je vous mets au défi de demander aux personnes autour de vous si elles sentent qu’elles reçoivent assez reconnaissance pour les efforts, l’attentions, le travail qu’elles fournissent. C’est le moment de se plonger dans la gratitude pour se remercier - de choses profondes ou de celles du quotidien.</p>

 <p>• <strong>Je te présente mes excuses pour…</strong><br/>
 L’occasion de formuler (ou de réitérer !) des excuses. Parfois, ce n’est pas évident de demander pardon, surtout sur le moment. Mises bout à bout, ces petites et grandes blessures s’accumulent, et finissent par peser lourd dans nos interactions au quotidien, qu’on en soit conscient.es ou non. C’est le moment de verbaliser le problème, quelle que soit l’échelle, de partager sa version et recevoir ce dont on a besoin pour dépasser la chose.</p>

 <h5 id="prendre-du-recul">Prendre du recul</h5>

 <p>• <strong>4 Ls - Loved, Learned, Lacked, Longed for</strong><br/>
 Retour sur le mois qui vient de passer.<br/>
 Qu’avez-vous aimé, appris, qu’est-ce qui vous a manqué, qu’auriez-vous aimé avoir ou recevoir ?</p>

 <p>• <strong>La boîte à relation (j’enlève, j’ajoute) ou ‘The hopes &amp; fears box’</strong><br/>
 Crée un cadre de partage pour parler d’un truc qui vous dérange ou qui vous manque, mais vous n’aviez pas réussi à trouver un bon moment pour l’aborder. Explicitez vos besoins, observez les points communs et la manière dont les expériences et les demandes diffèrent l’une de l’autre.</p>

 <p>• <strong>Les chantiers du moment (pour toi, pour moi)</strong><br/>
 On ne prend pas toujours le temps de parler aux autres de ce qui se passe à l’intérieur de soi.   Quelles réflexions nous habitent, qu’est-ce qu’on a réalisé récemment, qu’est-ce qu’on essaie consciemment de changer en ce moment, quelles difficultés est-ce qu’on traverse ?</p>

 <h5 id="dé-centrer-son-regard-comprendre-ce-que-traverse-lautre">Dé-centrer son regard, comprendre ce que traverse l’autre</h5>

 <p>• <strong>Drawing together</strong><br/>
 Dessiner sa compréhension de sa propre trajectoire / celle de l’autre / celle de la relation sur un temps récent. Partager et voir combien les versions se recoupent… ou non. Ça permet de voir sur quoi chacun.e met l’accent.</p>

 <p>• <strong>Où sommes-nous maintenant / où allons-nous ensemble ?</strong><br/>
 On sera où à la saison prochaine ? L’année prochaine ?<br/>
 On peut imaginer des versions idéales ou des versions réalistes de cet exercice qui sert à se projeter et à clarifier ses intentions.</p>

 <p>• <strong>Nos récits intérieurs : quelles ont été nos crises ? Quels étaient nos plus beaux moments ?</strong><br/>
 Comment est-ce qu’on se raconte ? Les réponses divergentes vont probablement soulever des sujets à approfondir.</p>

 <p>• <strong>Tell me something I don’t know</strong><br/>
 On n’extériorise jamais autant qu’on ne pense.</p>

 <p>• <strong>L’écoute en silence</strong><br/>
 A faire à tour de rôle. Quand on est en échange “ping-pong”, c’est la meilleure recette pour rentrer dans la surenchère des besoins et des blessures.<br/>
 Pour s’assurer qu’une personne se sente comprise, entendue, accueillie, l’autre lui propose un temps d’écoute ininterrompu.<br/>
 Si on est en posture d’écoute, qu’on voudrait reparler de certaines choses ou poser des questions après mais qu’on a peur d’oublier : il suffit de se munir d’un papier ou d’un carnet (qui peut aussi servir à prendre des notes pour revenir à ce qui s’est dit et/ou se remettre en question par la suite).</p>

 <p>• <strong>Le temps des questions (que je te pose, que je voudrais que tu me poses)</strong></p>

 <h5 id="conclure">Conclure</h5>

 <p>• <strong>Demain, tu fais quoi pour te faire du bien ?</strong><br/>
 • <strong>On se revoit quand ?</strong><br/>
 • <strong>Qu’est-ce qu’on met en place, concrètement ? Individuellement et dans la relation ?</strong><br/>
 • <strong>Comment est-ce que je peux te soutenir ? Comment puis-je mieux respecter mes propres besoins ? (concrètement, dans le mois à venir)</strong> (première question tirée du <a href="https://loomio.coop/stewarding.html">principe de “stewarding” chez Loomio</a>)<br/>
 • <strong>Écrire ou dessiner ce qui nous a le plus touché, ce qu’on a appris</strong></p>

 <p>Pour consigner ça quelque part et pouvoir y revenir si besoin, je documente ça (avec un outil qu’on maîtrise tous les deux) :</p>

 <p><img src="/images/2019-07-07-weathers-of-the-heart/Repo retro.png" alt="Documentation nerds too"/></p>

 <h4 id="labour-of-love">Labour of love</h4>

 <p>Est-ce que c’est du travail ? Oui.<br/>
 <a href="https://emmaclit.com/2017/05/09/repartition-des-taches-hommes-femmes/">Une BD a popularisé la notion de charge mentale</a> en France, et on commence à se réchauffer à l’idée qu’il existe une charge émotionnelle bien spécifique à celle d’un couple hétéro.<br/>
 C’est utile de se demander qui fait le travail émotionnel dans le groupe ?<br/>
 Qui investit son temps dans le fait de déconstruire et comprendre ce qui se passe ? Qui fait le travail d’introspection pour pouvoir mieux créer des passerelles ?<br/>
 Est-ce que c’est déséquilibré ? Est-ce que c’est super-genré ?<br/>
 La plupart du temps la réponse est oui, parce que qu’on est humains, que c’est le bordel, que c’est le reflet de notre société hétéro-patriarcale et qu’on ne peut pas tout maîtriser consciemment.</p>

 <p>Personnellement, j’ai ressenti un énorme besoin de poser ces questions et de regarder les réponses en face (même celles qui me déplaisent profondément, comme celles qui concernent la dépendance affective et ma responsabilité dans ces schémas, au hasard). L’idée c’est de s’accompagner dans nos remises en question et d’ajuster la trajectoire.<br/>
 D’essayer de préserver le temps de la cicatrisation.</p>

 <p>Ce qu’on découvre, au terme de l’itinérance, c’est qu’elle n’a agi qu’en accélératrice et révélatrice de tendances qui étaient déjà présentes en nous, déjà en jeu dans la relation.<br/>
 Au-delà des questions de surface, ou même de relation, on a commencé à toucher à des principes fondateurs de nos identités, aux choses qui se répètent malgré nous, malgré nos efforts conscients.</p>

 <p>Les deux années qui viennent de passer ont probablement été à proportion égale les plus riches et les plus éprouvantes de ma vie. J’ai suivi ma boussole, je me suis remise en question, j’ai été invitée à / obligée de regarder des choses de moi que je ne connaissais pas. On m’a offert un autre regard, je suis passée par plusieurs prises de conscience d’une intensité que je ne soupçonnais pas.<br/>
 Regarder ces choses-là en face, même si c’est douloureux, me fait faire d’immenses pas dans la compréhension de moi-même.    <br/>
 Maintenant j’ai besoin de sérénité, de repos, de racines, de clarté. De temps pour célébrer (mon courage, ma force, ma fatigue, ma prise de risque, mes apprentissages, ma détermination).</p>

 “Sometimes it feels like it is all bad, but it gets better”</em><br/>
 et période influencée grandement par Adrienne Maree Brown, son livre 📚 <em><a href="https://www.akpress.org/pleasure-activism.html">Pleasure Activism</a></em> et sa question “Who taught you to feel good ?”</p>

 <p>Certains d’entre vous ont demandé comment on faisait pour tenir ce blog à deux.<br/>
 C’est loin d’être évident. L’exercice de l’écriture est difficile en soi, à deux n’en parlons pas. (Même si on a développé quelques méthodes pour nos articles co-écrits).<br/>
 Il faut que chacun.e soit disponible sur un temps donné. Pas évident quand on jongle entre plusieurs projets à la fois, comme c’est le cas pour nous. <br/>
 Parfois, on a volontairement publié des articles co-signés et écrits à la première personne pour que nos ressentis se mêlent sans qu’il soit forcément nécessaire de retracer à qui appartient telle ou telle expérience.</p>

 <p><strong>Alors comment a-t-on fait cette fois-ci ?</strong> <br/>
 D’abord, j’écris la trame de l’article en partant de la base de nos formats de rétrospective : c’est la matière première de mon brouillon.<br/>
 Ensuite, je passe du temps à l’augmenter : je travaille à clarifier mon intention et donner une direction claire à l’article dans l’introduction. Je décris les enjeux de manière plus étoffée, je contextualise mon cheminement, pourquoi je trouve ça intéressant de partager, je conclus avec quelques constats. <br/>
 Lorsque je me sens satisfaite (ça m’a souvent pris déjà beaucoup de temps, de ré-écriture, de maturation), je montre l’article à Thomas, on le lit ensemble.</p>

 <p>Ça m’aide à :</p>

 <ul>
  <li><strong>Prendre du recul</strong>.<br/>
 En général, j’ai passé beaucoup de temps à écrire, j’ai le nez dedans, et à ce stade j’en ai souvent un peu marre, j’ai juste envie de publier pour que ce soit fait. Mais cette deuxième lecture m’apporte toujours. C’est comme si j’arrivais moi-même à porter un nouveau regard sur ce que j’ai écrit, rien que parce que je le soumet à une autre paire d’yeux.</li>
  <li><strong>Intégrer : des conseils, des ressentis, des perspectives</strong><br/>
 Ça permet de faire des rebonds qui enrichissent la première version. On finit toujours par avoir des discussions géniales à la clé qui alimentent le contenu : d’ailleurs on retient rarement les mêmes choses d’une expérience partagée.</li>
 </ul>

 <p>Je prends des notes, je change, j’ajoute tout un tas de choses.<br/>
 Et à partir de là, on est en bonne voie pour la publication.
 C’est comme ça qu’on a fonctionné, la plupart du temps, pour nos articles passés !</p>

      Bonjour/Hi!

      Je m’intéresse à la place que je peux avoir dans ce monde. En tant qu’humain, en tant que membre d’une famille et en tant qu’associé d’une coopérative. De temps en temps, je fais aussi des <a href="https://github.com/davidbgk" title="Principalement sur Github mais aussi ailleurs">trucs techniques</a>.
