New drypoint etching... Backstreet in Chefchaouen, Morocco. One of the most beautiful places I've ever been (blue ink).

Reaction from Transition Towns' founder @robintransition.bsky.social to the ec0-vandalism proposed by Dartington Trust and how YOU can make your views known. We should be fighting tooth and nail for initiatives like this, not seeing them trashed. westcountryvoices.co.uk/like-using-t...

Co-hosting with residents an ecological justice event in NW5 today. #Communitrees Planting trees in estates and paying young people living in those estates to care for the trees. Let’s get young people off their screens and out into nature. @camdencouncil.bsky.social @robintransition.bsky.social

"Our ability to organise and resist is vital, but I believe now more than ever that our true strength lies in our ability to cultivate longing, to build awesome Desire Machines.” @robintransition.bsky.social - Rob Hopkins www.robhopkins.net/2025/02/27/w... #solarpunk #ImagineBetter

Thrilled to be able to share the cover of my forthcoming book 'How to Fall in Love with the Future' with you. To be published June 17th by @chelseagreenbooks.bsky.social. Cover designed by linocut master Aga Kubish (agakubish.com). Really delighted with how it turned out.

A fabulous article pouring beautifully poetic scorn on Musk's 'colonise Mars' horseshit, about "the Earth uninhabitable for the sake of leaving it for someplace even worse". You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why anyone believes this nonsense: defector.com/neither-elon...

Date for your diary London folks! On June 26th, 6.30-8pm, at Conway Hall, I will be launching my new book 'How to Fall in Love with the Future: a time traveller's guide to changing the world'. It'll be a delightful evening. Don't miss out, book now! www.conwayhall.org.uk/whats-on/eve...

"Fascists like Musk and Trump hate creativity, imagination, daring, playfulness, people who speak of dreams and build pictures of a future predicated in decency, compassion, courage, connection." Let's envision and exemplify the better future we want together because we can't let dystopias win. 💭🌱🌄🤩

Let us dream of a desirable future... I'm all in.

"I’m digging out my toolbox and heading to the garage to start building a Desire Machine. Who’s joining me?" My latest article is a call to arms for futurists, Time Machine builders, creatives, artists, activists, poets, street artists and ... you. www.robhopkins.net/2025/02/27/w...

New drypoint etching. The coastal path at Prussia Cove, Cornwall.

At the NFTS, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact. As part of #NFTSSpringboard2025, we welcomed activist/writer/producer @robintransition.bsky.social for an inspiring talk placing positive environmental practices at the forefront of our students' minds.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

It's pretty easy to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget, actually: pluralistic.net/2025/01/27/b...

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten. The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

I've waited two years for this new book by the brilliant Rasheedah Phillips of Black Quantum Futurism so it's wonderful to finally hold it in my hands. Mind blowing stuff. #DismantlingtheMastersClock.

"The real crisis of our times, of my generation, is not that we don’t have it good, or even that we might be worse off later on. No, the real crisis is that we can’t come up with anything better". @rutgerbregman.com

Make no mistake: Trump’s first week was a catastrophe for many vulnerable people. But the biggest story was his startling initial moves from democracy to oligarchy. My hope lies in Americans noticing this. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-fir...

Photos from yesterday's beautiful 'Fifth Anniversary of Nothing' outside the Dairy Crest site in #Totnes. We tied 1,854 hand-numbered tags to the fence, each one representing a day Fastglobe has wasted in thwarting the town's aspirations for the site. This has gone on long enough.

Big oil spent $445m in last election cycle to influence Trump and Congress, report says: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Come along on Saturday at 11. See you there...

Some more photos from yesterday's 'How to Fall in Love with the Future' imagination catalyst training at the University of Plymouth, from posts shared by people who took part. What a lovely day was had...

1. Perhaps Prevent failed to pick up on the danger signs from Axel Rudakubana partly because, in common with other anti-terrorist and anti-extremist bodies, it was politically captured and deployed against peaceful protesters and peaceful Muslims. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Absolutely insane. Rachel Reeves argues economic growth eclipses climate change in importance, and that we need new runways. Being so out of touch with reality should really disqualify anone from holding office. The ultimate dereliction of duty. Shame on you. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect? Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse? Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

Lovely to be back in my printmaking class this week. Here is a drypoint etching print from our recent visit to Marrakech, of the big mosque there. First print from the plate, further, improved editions next week.

Just saying, but it does seem odd that on the front page of a magazine selling glasses that the cover star isn't wearing glasses...bit of a missed opportunity there?

A lovely afternoon doing Imagination Catalyst Training at University of Plymouth. Generated lots of great What If questions and great ideas. Thanks to everyone who came! #imagination #howtofallinlovewiththefuture

Sagan was a prophet.

If you’re afraid to write your book because you think its content stands no chance in the coming climate, Remember that banned books (and books victims thought the world would never see) are the only honest window we have into some of the darkest moments of history. Write the book. #booksky

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

Today and in the coming days, remember
