Call it Jungian synchronicity, or wishful thinking on my part. But it has seemingly happened to me, again and again, in my career. And I am glad I kept struggling, so that I could be there to help others.

I post about the creative process of #filmmaking, such as #screenwriting, #directing, production, and more. My latest write-up is an excerpt from an interview I did with the amazing Workforce Program Director for NOVAC, Stevee-Rayne Warren. Enjoy! ➡️Read Blog Here: open.substack.com/pub/josiahbw...

The rainforest the world forgot. The Congo basin is the second largest rainforest on Earth, and a critical defence against climate breakdown and species loss. Why then, is it so neglected? share.google/HrPOEJxfATQX...

Monday again - busy, busy with all those important documents Artist: Harry Wingfield (1971)

I've been thinking about this quote a lot lately... “Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall💚

"The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand." - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this: therichdont.work

We can get trapped in cycles of thinking we can make people see how wrong they are to act certain ways. We get lost in trying to punish the world for being ignorant. The only thing we can do is walk the path, embody the light & show what can be achieved then teach the enthusiastically willing souls.

Who hurt you more today? 1. The homeless person living on the street, asking you for change? 2. The CEO who took the $1,000,000 in profit you helped generate and gave it himself as a bonus, instead of giving you a $2.00/hour raise?

Saxicolous (stone) lichens, in some places thought to live for 11,500 years, challenge basic concepts like species, and some consider them more akin to actual ecosystems. Their symbiotic relationships can be viewed as metaphors for resistance, resilience, and interconnection.

Peace 💙
