In the first episode, we discussed the complexity of Earth system dynamics on a warming planet--including the rising risk of reaching dangerous "tipping points" from the Amazon rainforest to the deep North Atlantic at various global warming levels:

I’ve always loved this poem

we live in insane times, and this one made me lol

“But what are you trying / to be free of? / The living? The miraculous / task of it?” — Joseph Fasano . . . This poem appeared in the Academy of American Poets, 2023. Shared here with deep gratitude.

Happy Twin Peaks premiere day to all who celebrate #TwinPeaks #AgentCooper #Poem In honor of the peerless David Lynch, here is a bit of weird poetry to commemorate his work:

I posted an article about billionaires and geopolitics yesterday and got a reader question: how do you practice with this information? It’s an ongoing question. Yesterday I said the web shows interconnectedness. It also shows people how systemic issues are. Ultimately, the practice is local sangha.

“It’s like standing at the edge of the ocean and watching the dawn arise.” This week, I wrote about time banking: a giving and receiving agreement you make with friends. I spoke with Dr. Chris Gray about her experience. She said once you move people from earn and spend logic, the world opens up.

As you probably know Iʻve spent years carrying Frank OʻHaraʻs Lunch Poems around with me, preferably in a pocket. The other day, I saw a copy on a table in one of my favorite New York spaces, Torn Page, and hereʻs what happened. salrandolph.substack.com/p/oh-poem-we...

When Todd Rademacher hosted a Zoom call for educators on how to protect kids from ICE, he intentionally didn't record the webinar to protect the attendees. It was found on WebinarTV anyway. www.404media.co/this-company...

JOURNALISTS IN LOS ANGELES: Before you cover No Kings 3 protests, print out these 4 pages (just 2 if double sided). If you have trouble with LAPD, this is literally a direct order signed by their chief instructing all personnel on proper treatment of press: drive.google.com/file/d/1sto_... 🧵 1/4

Seen in the streets! One of our free signs. Free for anyone to print from PaperAmmunition.com Ps you CAN be the person to print one of these out & tape it up somewhere. It’s easy. Keep protesting long after No Kings day is over. Resist every day! #nokings

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

“There is no widely recognized funeral for a degraded wetland. There is no standard form of leave for an ecosystem that tips past a threshold. […] So the grief becomes private. It leaks out as irritability, sleeplessness, a kind of emotional flatness, or a sense of futility that is hard to name.”

I'm taking a class called "Falling in Love With the World Again" about climate emotions. Last week's session was on grief. Despite intellectual identification, I struggled to tap into these things in the exercise. So I doubled down. This essay is about presence and not needing to know the answer.

The larp theory of @violetriotgames.bsky.social has gifted us with the term "emancipatory bleed," which permits us to understand how games ask us to push ourselves & our perspectives via our characters. www.nordiclarp.org/2017/06/21/t...

Organizing is all about people power. But if the people are disembodied, it’s difficult to stay aligned and attuned to changing needs. Here, I suggest embodiment can help movement cultures do more than protest. Liberate bodies, liberate our sense of self. lighthive.substack.com/p/a-field-gu...

Boosting the signal on this awesome sounding event

Taking a break from current events to boost a #MediaLiteracy education tool from @critikid.bsky.social. Critikid.com is creating some really useful and reasonably priced teaching resources for key aspects of logical thinking for upper elementary and middle grades kids. 🍎📚 #TLSky 🧪🗺️

Volunteer in LA this weekend at 2026's "Lawn to Habitat" lawn conversion project. This hands-on volunteering & learning opportunity transforms a water-hungry, monoculture grass lawn on a multifamily property into a biodiverse habitat over just 2 days. www.laclimatereality.org/calendar/202...

AND! I'll be featured again in June: how to use play to get students to read and write in the age of AI. 😅

Also: thrilled to discuss how play can spark wonder, critical creativity, and innovation in UCLA's Teaching and Learning Center series in April! I'll be shouting out some specific games in particular: like @pandiongames.com's Route Scouts, for thinking about accessibility and place-making.

My "League of Extraordinary Friends" idea--that merges Buddhist friendship practice and mutual aid--has advanced to the next round of grant consideration! Fingers crossed I can make being a good friend, giving (and receiving) mutual aid, and play a broader reality.

In crisis, we fall to the level of our training. A lot of our training was unchosen. It came from invalidation, neglect, and scanning the room instead of the body. This week's post is on attunement to self and others when things are on fire. lighthive.substack.com/p/for-people...

I first learned of this game about dying about a year or so ago through a chaplaincy talk by Chenxing Han. I’m glad to have stumbled on it again. As with most forms of generative play, there’s no win state. The entire point is to be present with what arises. www.thegamecrafter.com/games/creati...

The strange anthropomorphic exceptionalism of the “we’ve lived through times like these before!” rhetoric completely neglects the rampant accelerationism of people in power. No living species has lived through a self-inflicted mass extinction event. Check yourself and live your values now.

Sincere Q: Why is italian flour so great? Like, it clearly creates the best pizza, no question. But why? Is it a milling process?

I was recently tagged in an r/transracialadoptees post as a resource for grief work. It got me thinking about what it means to resource in the first place. Attunement toward self, others, grief, and possibility will guide themes in March. lighthive.substack.com/p/the-time-i...

Attunement to self, attunement with others, attunement toward what is possible, even if you don't know where you belong. lighthive.substack.com/p/the-time-i...
