Anyway, I know that you all do this full-time like I do, but it felt really good to talk with these students about how memeing actually is a professional skill

Went extremely well and I can’t post student work without explicit permission, but they were funny and clever, and the class opened up a really big discussion about processing grief and levity and also the fact that people have different vulnerabilities.

Feeling a lot of Climate appreciation right now, which is what happens as you process climate grief

So I am teaching a unit of a climate justice class and early in the class we are focused on context of power and safety while approaching difficult topics. Can everyone send me their favorite Climate memes and jokes that don’t punch don’t punch down?

This mirrors my experience almost exactly. The so-called Left has a moral superiority problem that blocks genuine intersectional militancy. Solidarity as praxis requires uneasy alliances and the hard work of forging alignments not demanding it from the start.

There has to be a higher benchmark because this would make Portland a “Lebanese food” city.

living in oly in the early 2000s was so fun because there were so many incredible musicians in the friend circles and, from the inside, i had no idea that they were famous outside of olympia.

So here’s my Hope. I’ve been dealing with some major major health problems and at the same time diving into a new phase of my Ph.D. program, basically starting over because my department was being taken over by AI so I switched. However: The Chestnut project is about to plant several hundred trees

so i am never on facebook but was over there looking for an old friend's message & noticed an organization that i respect with a LOT of AI content. I called them out on it and they said that facebook is now making "improved" AI posters & images out of what you give them & they have tried to stop it

I’m having health problems right now I really don’t wanna think about the terrible news that they are deregulating being careful about putting out genetically modified chestnuts after the debacle of the previous attempt turning out to be a disaster that would have created a disease prone monoculture

I wish more people would read Inherent Vice (not the film) because it looks at the same fallen movements as The Big Lebowski but it sees that it was a legitimate praxis that was assassinated by the state while TBL points the blame on the ideologies and idealism.

I'm getting back into the swing of streaming online. As we edit and expand on the podcast, just getting used to it again is practice. www.twitch.tv/buildsoil I'll probably talk about the expanded chestnut project and other things on the horizon.

The bottleneck is funding - Content & demonstration is what drives funding in social media spaces but a lot of that content will take time and focus to get to youtube, instagram, and our website. It's a vicious cycle that can be repaired. 1 person donating $1000 2 people $500 10, $100 50, $20

Since wrapping up the 18,000 chestnut growing and giveaway, the project has been back-burner and minimal i've been recording podcast interviews, looking for project partners, and running the minimum costs on funding fumes. There is a clear list of where I want to take this now that i have a site.

If i can pay my bookkeeper, i can get our budget done and our board to approve the next project steps. $1000 a month ensure that the project no longer stalls and that we can provide the documentation needed for proposals & grants. Any amount helps.

My concerns about the internet expanding to include the cybernetic control of biological systems are not going down. This sounds cute/tragic but the enclosure of nature as an information system is only deepening the move into the animal internet. www.livescience.com/animals/land...

So I have really good news which is I’m developing relationships with a couple other projects that all want to support the next steps for build soil to expand beyond a backyard Chestnut Project into a real tool kit of community solutions for climate change and ecological transformation

Something i'm learning lately is that people REALLY in the thick of Climate Science, especially those concerned with displacement, migration, vulnerability, there is a big waking up to the importance of RELATIONALITY, therapy, Mindfulness practices, ritual, community building. It's the ONLY path
