Dobby Does Doom

Eliot posted a link to his doomer starter pack 🤣

Wishing you a speedy recovery Eliot!!

😂 All good points! If I have to write another thread about human poo I'm gonna start questioning my life choices! 🤣

Ecological identity is a wise response to collapse - a long remembering of kinship, of consequence, and of place.

You belong to the Earth.

We all do.

Collapse doesn’t erase that. If anything, it makes the remembering more urgent. 5/5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFpn...

Active Hope

To root in ecological identity now is not to turn away, it’s to feel more fully - to grieve, to care, and to witness.

To feed the birds when the sign says not to.

To act as if the world is alive, even as others forget. 4/5 www.activehope.info

Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points Global warming greater than 1.5°C could trigger multiple climate tipping points.

Overshoot and collapse don’t just break systems, they unmake meaning.

The stories of growth and mastery fray and fade, until the question remains: Who are you, really, when the machine fails? 3/5 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Braiding Sweetgrass As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals ...

To live with ecological identity is to know yourself as part of the world, not above or outside it - not steward, not consumer. Just kin.

You inhale what trees exhale. Your bones were built from ancient minerals once carried by rivers. 2/5 www.penguin.co.uk/books/316088...

We grow up thinking of ourselves as individuals, with jobs, opinions, and plans.

Inside all of us is something older. We are animals, shaped by wind and soil, attuned to weather, and to the sound of birds.

Our ecological identity is something we would do well to remember in a time of #collapse 1/5

I like birds, that's why I always keep sunflower hearts in my pocket.

It makes sense you like trains.

😂🤣

I fed a few birds at the train station this morning, and a guard told me off!

I said, 'It’s their planet too.'

He remained unmoved.

Industrial systems don’t know what to do with care that isn’t transactional - even a small gesture toward the more-than-human can feel like dissent. #collapse

Hopefully Karen sees this 🤣

A cunning plan! XD

The Golden Years of Collapse Those with the most privilege can make the most difference for others on the way down...but will they?

"Collapse is guaranteeing that the next generation is getting completely screwed to be able to be on their own, let alone afford a house. Many of them are so jaded, they don’t even want to try. Who could blame them? The game is completely stacked." #collapse

You need to view our predicament through an ecological lens, not a sociological one. Any species will go into overshoot given the opportunity and sufficient resources. Read Overshoot by William Catton.

Humans are, broadly, very fucking dumb 😂

A bawdy limerick if e'er there was! 🤣

Happy Friday Avian.

This is the thing, a passion for physics will cure any kind of misplaced optimism as far as modern civilisation is concerned.

Thanks Donald, you can't beat a good EROEI thread I always say!

Nothing good! 🤣

😳🤣 only just saw that

Thanks Rupe, I guess I found my thing! XD

We can only be responsible for our own responses dude.

We're living in collapse today, it's not a future thing, I'm talking about how we respond today.

I'm choosing to practice permaculture today rather than go marauding and pillaging.

These are important too! Thanks John, I can always count on you to go deeper :)

Energy descent + climate chaos = unstoppable, converging limits.

Understanding this is a liberation from false hope.

From here, we can choose to live differently - with humility, solidarity, and courage.

Your thoughts and reflections welcome. 10/10 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjvG...

Accepting our predicament, the question shifts from 'can we prevent collapse?' to 'how do we live ethically and wisely during it?'

That means relocalising, reducing dependence on industrial systems, and rebuilding relationships with land and community. 9/10 www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Mx...

Supply chains increasingly falter, States fracture, and systems fail.

This process is uneven, yet accelerating - drought‑induced migration, conflict over resources, infrastructure breakdown, and heat‑driven social stress are multiplying. 8/10

Climate chaos raises the energy cost of everything - food, water, cooling, rebuilding - just as our available high‑EROI energy base narrows.

Systems face rising demand and falling returns simultaneously. The narrowing energy ceiling meets the rising ecological floor. 7/10
