Perhaps less reliance on government funding isn’t a bad thing. Disclaimer: science is good. Research is good. Scientists who conduct research funded by government are likely doing excellent and untainted research. The model is bad, not the people making a living in the current paradigm.

Unbridled thirst for all things AI. 'Tallies of AI energy use short-circuit the conversation by scolding individual behavior or triggering comparisons to bigger offenders. Both dodge the point.'

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Hi Jessica. Thank you for sharing and for your efforts overall. Yes to processing feelings. Often, otherwise, forms of denial creep in. Awareness and acceptance are two very different things. “Inner adaptation” also helps broaden prepping beyond the sphere of the individual or family.

An important angle on one of many converging crises. The story is US-centric but is likely applicable globally and for any size municipality. "Fragility is what happens when a local government is overextended, under-resourced, and deeply dependent on decisions made far away." @strongtowns.org

The Opposite of Strong Isn’t Weak. It’s Dependent.
Fragile cities are overextended, under-resourced, and deeply dependent on decisions made far away. New York City and Salt Lake City show us what this looks like.

Deep Adaptation in the press. Even though it’s a global collapse we’re talking about, it really is possible in the company of others to metabolize these feelings and find stability in your life.” - DA friend David Baum @feralmystic.io @aarongell.bsky.social and @alexsteffen.bsky.social here too.

Current USG leaders are worried about “climate anxiety” and their solution is to disappear the phrase. Makes sense on the same day they announced increasing coal production and meantime are decreasing environmental impact monitoring across the board.

Tipping points have been a key part of the Deep Adaptation conversation from the start. Nobody knows what’s going to happen in the future (nor tomorrow, for that matter) but biophysical limits exist. This is a helpful article with a suite of links on the topic. h/t @ppmv.bsky.social

And here's thirty specific things to do that might grab you right now. Ignore the person mentioned in the header. Many of these will manifest the greater good at any time, and many bring the party to the fore. One of them is, in fact, simply that: throw the best damn party you can imagine (#14).

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

If moxie is in short supply, if buzzy phrases like 'find your people' and 'build community' are falling flat, if you're flailing and bailing instead of showing up, if current events are sapping your power, a response is to focus on your stoke & seek agency on a scale that will succeed.

The same people who tried to refute the link between cigarettes and cancer also tried to refute the link between fossil fuels and global warming. When corporations don’t like scientific facts they try to undermine all science.

We recommend #Miyazaki films that reflect upon these times: Princess Mononoke - an epic clash of nature, spirit, “progress,” and care. Nausicaa - regeneration, appropriate use of technology, and service warrior spirit. Totoro - a parable about place, family, and awareness.

The scales can fall from your eyes but vision and work that is not shared by anyone else can be No Fun (or worse). As Mariame Kaba says "Everything worthwhile is done with other people." You can meet others working on Inner & Outer Adaptation and prefiguring other paradigms through links in our bio.
