L@@K at what's happening to our US parks and public lands: "What started as a way to make access easier has become a system that limits it, profits off it, and puts it behind a digital paywall. That was never the deal." ~ Will Pattiz "More Than Just Parks" newsletter substack.com/home/post/p-...

ICE raids, people, men being disappeared - ? Shockingly, it seems as though we've been here before, albeit on a smaller, local scale. The Bisbee Deportation of 1917 is one of the darkest, most shocking events in American labor history, and yet so few people know it happened. [YT video description]

The truly fascinating part is that in the past three months, I've heard US historian Heather Cox Richardson say words almost identical to the first paragraph below at least twice...

A concept like panpsychism makes more sense when we stop measuring our more-than-human kin against ourselves...

Collapse or extinction... the work we have in front of us is the same. "I don’t know if humans will go extinct, but I know that letting go of our illusions requires facing even the worst possibilities." ~ Jem Bendell "After Climate Despair" collapse-able.com

Sheer, absolute brilliance. Thank you for creating the "ICEBLOCK" app, Joshua Aaron! youtu.be/pXIIhAuwlTs?...

I can only share what Rob's last book, "From What Is to What If" and Rob's presence on this episode of Accidental Gods in dialog with our host, Manda Scott meant to me... Regeneration of faith. Of hope. Of joy. Of anticipation (vs apprehension)... A rekindling of my collapse-weary imagination.

This could be a quietly epic episode...

Given the ongoing chaos, we urgently need all 8 billion of us to Fall in Love with a Future we’d be proud to leave as our legacy. Rob Hopkins of the #TransitionTown movement has a new book showing us how accidentalgods.life/falling-in-l #AccidentalGods #podcast w @robintransition.bsky.social

Stop the madness!

On top of the possibility of multiple multi-systems collapses pressed by the meta-crisis, the last thing we need is a multi-layered, nested, or otherwise complicated pandemic. See comments for more...

The truth is I couldn't say this any more clearly than my brilliant friend, Bridget McKenzie already has. If this resonates, I know she has more for you.

Frankly... the title says it all. An excellent deep dive from Wes Siler on the public lands sell-off-peril drama playing out in Congress right now. substack.com/home/post/p-...

A fantastic diagnostic about how AI is 100% going to f**k us. Then at the end... 'we need to implement policies x, y, and z.' '...and write to your elected representatives!!!!' #overshoot #collapse youtu.be/7Y_1_RmCJmA?...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Just L@@k at what 'we the people' have made possible now!!! "Locals take a stand against Trump's immigration roundups, street snatchings" continued in comments...

Paraphrasing spiritual teacher Ram Dass, "Whether this is the first day of the Apocalypse or the first day of the Golden Age, the work remains the same...to love each other and ease as much suffering as possible." . . . "Collapse is agnostic." ~ Robin Soledad Villaverde Collapse-ABLE.com

Let's make better choices about where we place so much of our attention. Here's someone worth following...

Did you miss this livestream earlier this week like I did? YouTube's algorithm in its wisdom just served it up in my newsfeed. Part recap and part 'what's next', part debrief and part political education - it's ALL celebration and memorializing our beloved fallen few. Link in comment... EnJoy!

Ooooh! I've been waiting for this! No purchases, no browsing. No engagement. substack.com/@50501/note/...

What does it mean to "sit with" our feelings when the world is in turmoil? Turning toward the ache without flinching... letting grief, rage, and fear exist without judgment. And in the face of multi-system collapse... it means refusing to abandon ourselves in the abandonment of so much else.

There is no reason to give up - “It’s better to stand and adapt than perish knowing we didn’t even try.” Robin Villaverde In her latest Substack newsletter, Katherine provides her own version of this grounded optimism - and more. And she 'has the receipts' as they say! Highly recommended...

Unfortunately there was more violence - and depravity - on display in LA this past weekend than virtually any mainstream (or independent) news reports have revealed... From a little sleuthing, this appears to be real although I couldn't swear to it. We MUST keep our wits about us, not be out alone.

Despicable! We need sites like this so badly now...

Good to hear Senator Padilla's own version of this abomination and that he (hopefully) seems fine. Thank you for your continued wonderful journalism, Jacob!

We in the Southwestern US need water... the question is, do we need it this badly? Or is this at least the perfect answer for keeping pools filled and watering the few remaining lawns?

I am becoming deeply fascinated by the 'after' of things. And specifically the after of collapse. Throughout the recent COVID19 pandemic I couldn't wait to see how we emerged from the virtual bottleneck of pent up activity and emotion... (continued in comments)
