Amazon has a special sale on my book, THE SOLUTIONARY WAY. The Kindle version is just $1 and the print version is $9.99. Heading into the new year with a book to guide strategic, compassionate, solutionary action in 2026 is a good thing, right? Poppy thinks so. @revkin.bsky.social

Self-help can become a trap, but there's a way to set ourselves free; address our anxieties, fears, and anger; find personal healing; and make a difference, all at the same time.

For years I've been raising the alarm of the dangers of our food system. We’re prioritizing corporations feeding us unhealthy products with too many dangerous chemicals, instead of family farmers growing fresh, healthy foods. We all must come together to build a system that works for all.

When presented w/an issue for debate, offering you one side OR the other to support, ask yourself what are the UNDERLYING problems? What are the CAUSES? What could actually SOLVE the problems? How could you COLLABORATE to solve them instead of just taking sides? This is a SOLUTIONARY mindset.

To solve problems effectively w/o unintended consequences, we need to cultivate a solutionary mindset. This means 1) Listening & seeking to understand 2) Avoiding "us v. them" 3) Shifting from debates around either/ors to collaboration on solutions that do the most good & least harm. 4) Coalitions
