This is exactly what I learned during my β€œdeep dive” on sustainability several years back… the only way to make a truly β€œsustainable” footprint is to realize and then actualize β€œsmall is beautiful,” not addiction to seeing β€œnumbers go up.”

Wonder Man is such a slow burn… Marvel has really lost the ability to make entertaining super hero content.

The dignity of work is non-existent when youβ€˜re working full-time and it’s still not enough to support yourself and your kids

The failure of even these sustainability-light initiatives, which seek to maintain modern comfort at a slightly slower descent into collapse, just shows how entirely difficult and monumental achieving a true sustainable society actually is.

Risk of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse? It’s already happened and continues to get worse.

The battle for the Arctic... but when you can’t admit it’s opening up due to climate change.

In the wake of ICE shooting, protests in Ohio, preparation for more raids β€’ Ohio Capital Journal After ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Ohioans protest and plan ways to respond to any future immigration raids.

Thousands of protesters turned out across Ohio Saturday, days after an ICE agent in Minneapolis shot a protester there in the face, killing her. As the protests took place, advocates worked to organize responses to future ICE actions in the Buckeye State ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/14/i...

For those wondering what we should be doing instead of growing populations, meat & cars? We should be reducing populations, meat & cars. Reminder: Less growth is NOT reduction. Replacing is NOT reduction.

Instead of 10 billion humans by 2050, we should aim at 3 billion by 2100 and starting today.

We are at 1.5Β°C today. Without air pollution, we would be at 2.2Β°C today.

The 3Β°C budget will be zero before 2030. We will see 3Β°C before 2050.

When we see an article about EVs or solar ... is it clear to us that we see #denial in action? We pretend to live in 2006, not in 2026.
