In the US any wood stove installed after 2020 is required to be EPA certified. Burning wood (or garbage or brush or whatever) is always polluting your neighborhood, usually at hazardous levels, but have the common decency to build a fire that doesn’t smoke. 💚

I'm really sorry, but we just need to stop doing this. Your wood-burning hygge leads directly to people's deaths - other people's and perhaps your own. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Anger

Anger by H. Stearley at Earthwalking So what is this emotion called anger? That strikes like a cobra, Seemingly from nowhere, It’s venom now coursing through my veins. A sequence of chemical reactions – molecular hysteria in the mind. Yet it was external toxicity that gave it birth . . .

Love this! Today’s the day! It’s just the beginning. United we stand, divided we fall. It was nice that a bunch of people asked me if they could use my poster like this.

A printed out poster for the economic blackout on February 28 on a telephone poll across the street from buildings. The poster shows a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

Best truth telling of the day goes to Henry Rollins: "This is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

T’was the night before Hallmark Day, profits ran high, Love stamped and packaged, a corporate lie. Saint Valentine died for defying the state, Now his name sells cheap romance and fate. Lupercalia once ran wild and free, Now love’s just a card and a shopping spree.

Mirrored image of Bansky art on a yellow wall of a light-skinned woman bent over puking red hearts. Her black hair is in a bun. She’s wearing a black, short sleeved, knee length dress, black tights and white sneakers. Above and behind her is written “danke.”

T’was the night before Hallmark Day when all through the stores, People buying flowers and chocolates galore. But love wasn’t born in a checkout line, Nor stamped with a price or a factory design. Saint Valentine died for a love deemed unfit, Yet now his name sells cards that don’t mean a bit.

The Nature of Our Power: A Conversation with political scientist Erica Chenoweth

"The best study on the subject in my opinion suggests that in the long term, institutions really can’t save us; that civil society and mass mobilization are a more potent check on a backsliding democracy in the long term than relying on institutional checks and balances alone." That's what political scientist Erica Chenoweth told me when I asked them if we could have a conversation (by email, below in full) about the current constitutional crisis/coup attempt and what we can do about it. Chenoweth is a hugely influential scholar of nonviolent social change, best known for their empirical research that not only documents what makes civil resistance work but demonstrates that it works, often extremely effectively. They direct the Nonviolent Action Lab, which studies how people have built movements and developed strategies to resist authoritarianism successfully and documents how nonviolence can be effective. There's no one I wanted to hear from more in this constitutional crisis, and I'm grateful I can share their insights with all of you.

I'm not surprised by trump's disgustingly negative attitude about disabled people. It's who he is, and who he's always been. This should have been the end.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

I post most of my finished and WIP art on my Tumbler (@ResilienceBeast) but may post some here as well. I am curious to see what gets more engagement. I do occasional one-shot comics as well.
