I didn’t buy anything on Friday but that doesn’t mean i slept better last night. TY @tuck.bsky.social - If we offer broad, easy solutions that demonstrably do not work, not only are we wasting people’s time / attention / resources, but we are creating the false sense that movement work will be easy.
i love this picture! And congratulations on a well deserved honor!
Quoting slim yet rich volume by Dean Spade, Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis (and the Next)
What do we do in light of the destruction in Lahaina? As scientists, solutions are couched as policies and technologies. Yes, and let’s deeply consider mutual aid. “Mutual aid projects expose the reality that people do not have what they need and propose that we can address this injustice together.”
Who doesn’t love starting a new journal? My favorite journal system queries my intentions as I begin. So, hello BlueSky. My intention is to participate in networks of inquiry, compassion, and integrity as we navigate the climate emergency with its roots in colonialism and racism.
