That wall of smoke is headed west. It will cover Seattle and much of the coastal Pacific Northwest for three days while temperatures rise into the 90s. It means suffering for those without A/C, air purifiers, masks, or housing. This is our first climate disaster of the year. Will it be the last?

Apropos of nothing...
Dance like no one's watching
Love like you've never been hurt
Make friends like there will be supply chair or social infrastructure collapse and you will have to rely on each other for basic survival

This graph shows a much longer context within which civilizational collapse occurs. For a million years, the Earth has been in a delicate equilibrium which allowed our current biosphere to prosper. We have disrupted the balance on a global scale, sending the system into a new, inhospitable state.

From a prison cell, Roger Hallam delivers a superb summary of the mystic's view of the world. (I'm jealous of his perception and conciseness.) 'Out of the Darkness: End Times, Renewal, and the Return of the Real' by Roger Hallam. substack.com/home/post/p-...
In Eastern and Indigenous traditions, the world is not linear but circular. It is paradoxical, not logical. Light emerges from darkness. From within the void, new life is born. The dark is not evil — it is generative.

Salvation doesn’t come from a thing but from no-thingness. You move through the nothingness. You keep going until the world transforms before your eyes — while remaining unchanged.

You don’t get stuck in the Western "dark night of the soul." Because in these deeper traditions, hell is never the end.

Bearded guys should try the 3M Vflex 9105, a true N95 respirator. The large, flexible lower flap covers a multitude of sins, and is comfortable and secure. It’s cheap and easily available. You’re not gonna win a beauty contest, but you will be alive. www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d...

I hung the Canadian flag on my house in Seattle to signal which side I’m on. There are at least two horrible ironies: 1) Canada is a European settler state, like the U.S., and, 2) it really should be a Palestinian flag, but I’m not that brave. How long before I’m called a “traitor”?

We may not have critical mass yet, but the sentiment is good and you have to start somewhere. Don’t Buy Stuff, Friday Feb 28.

When you realize that the ice caps are temporary, it changes your perspective as much as learning the Earth travels around the Sun. With a clear scientific view, we can better understand Mother Earth. She made for us a beautiful home which we, for reasons terrible and mysterious, have despoiled.

Mood:
Chapter 20 of the Tao Te Ching, translated by Stephen Mitchell:

"Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don't care,
I alone am expressionless,
like an infant before it can smile.

Other people have what they need;
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about, 
like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

Other people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharper;
I alone am dull.
Other people have a purpose;
I alone don't know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,
I blow as aimless as the wind."

This seems like a good idea. I wonder if a consumer strike can reach enough scale to send a message?
ECONOMIC BLACKOUT ON FEBRUARY 28, 2025
TAKE PART & SHARE THE NEWS
If you haven't heard, there will be an economic blackout Febuary 28th, nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business: No gas, no fast food, and definitely nothing from places like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Get the word out!
We want THEM to see that WE have the power. We will start with 1 day, then 3, then specific companies until our message is heard.
Please spread the word!
Thank you!

For a wider context, note that ice in Antarctica froze only 30 million years ago. Before that, and for most of Earth's history, there has been no ice at the poles. For 100 million years the Earth has cooled. Now, we're headed back to a hot Earth because we triggered the cycle. Sources in alt-text.

It's not cool to jump on here and inject messy, argumentative replies into other peoples' conversations when you're not posting, yourself, at all. (His "10 posts" are all replies.) I think there's one guy who keeps coming back with new accounts. I've blocked him four times, and I'll keep doing it.

The 'Intolerance' label was applied by the Bluesky Moderation service. @moderation.bsky.app It says: "Intolerance: Discrimination against protected groups." This implies that Israel is "protected" on Bluesky. Why would that be? Who made that decision? Can we hear from the company on this?

@support.bsky.team Hi Bluesky Support. Thanks for all your great work! It’s impossible to read this legal text in portrait mode on iPhone. (See 1st screenshot.) To read it, I must save to Photos and rotate to landscape mode. (See 2nd screenshot.) Please make rotation possible in the app! Thx.

The global empire knows no boundaries and has no mercy. The technologies used to kill and control Palestinians will soon be turned on us. We’re all Palestinians now. open.substack.com/pub/chrished...
The global ruling class will counter the destabilizing forces of inequality, curtailment of civil liberties, collapsing infrastructure, failing health systems and increasing shortages caused by an accelerating climate crisis, by branding all who resist as “human animals.” This new world order began in Gaza. It ends at home.

Joe Biden has made the Gaza genocide as much America's project as it is Israel's. We'll pay for it in the global arena.
Quote from Hunter S. Thompson: We have became a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world — a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts.
