What at least some of the ruling global 'elite' really think and want: mass genocide of the plebs.
We have a system that seeks out THE most moronic, evil, psychopathic individuals, and hands them the greatest power.
Understanding that is central to the fight against climate & ecological breakdown.
Remember to breathe.
So often we hold our breath without realizing it.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

I, too, also “lose my shit” over wood thrushes.
Us vs them is a false dichotomy borne out of extractive colonist ideologies
So the sole human destiny is to keep on killing off nature until the biosphere collapses, and us with it?
Sorry, but I believe in another future, in which *both* nature and people thrive.
It IS possible.
This was already demonstrated over half a century ago with the banning of DDT.
Why are we on repeat here?

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

A small bird stands on the side of a wooden bird feeder. It faces the camera and has a small white seed in its mouth. It is extremely cute
Seems like time for some emergency cute. Please remember to look away from the horrors sometimes

If I remember right from the 'old place', I disagree with Rob Yorke on some stuff, but this is (excuse the pun) bang on.
To save and expand what's left of our natural forests, there's no getting round it: we need BOTH carnivores and copper (bullets).

We are constantly told by the media and authorities that these are both 'forest'.
One is a complex, diverse native ecosystem, full of life. The other is an industrial monoculture deadzone.
They could not be more different.

This genocidal psychopath had planned this for decades 🤬
He just needed an excuse..thats why he allowed Oct 7th to happen
Overgrazing by deer or sheep?
How to fight: “We need to identify and trigger many more positive tipping points. Once identified, positive tipping is enabled by making the desired innovation the most affordable, accessible and/or attractive option. Governments, businesses, civil society and individuals all have a role to play.”

An 8-year-old has something else in his pocket.
Confetti.
Why?
It’s his emergency confetti,
he says,
during these raw days
he carries it with him everywhere
just in case
there is good news.

In His Pocket
by Rabbi Hannah Yerushalmi~
The Rabbis advised:
Keep two truths in your pocket,
one should read:
I am but dust and ashes
and the other should read:
The entire world was created for me.
(Pt. 1/2)
“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.” ...Rumi
