Alrighty then... I have some articles to post about the EPA changes and jerk in charge, but I think those will wait until after #SolarPunkSunday. Enough #Doomposting (unless there is breaking news). Let's start SPS!!!

Disparaging Umair & Jessica
In 2022, I wrote an article attacking two of Medium's resident doomposters.
It became by biggest earner:

this has to be intentional there's no way things have been constantly going downhill for the entire decade
it's gonna stop before 2030 right? this constant hell has to stop some point before then right?
So, I'll be starting #SolarPunkSunday shortly. I know I need a break from all the #Doomposting and #Doomscrolling. Also, I'm hoping to get out to some museums on Sunday, so I won't be posting as much then (I'll boost everyone's posts when I get home).
Let's get the ball rolling...!

I really enjoy the discipline involved in #SolarPunkSunday. It takes a lot for me to hold off on #Doomposting for 24 hours or so! But it's a habit that helps me to switch gears and not think about just negative stuff.
AI is fundamentally destroying our planet — says person posting from a smartphone made in a lithium mine, powered by cloud servers, on a platform that uses AI.
But yes, the Midjourney camel is the final straw. 🐫💥 #AI #Doomposting
Alrighty then... I'm going to start posting some #SolarPunkSunday stuff, as well as more cool #NoKings images. Unless there's breaking news, I'm off the #Doomposting train until Sunday evening!
Alrighty then. That was a great #SolarPunkSunday ! Thanks to everyone who participated!
Now back to the #Doomposting (folks might want to mute me until next Saturday, when we start up SPS again).
TY to @MaQuest , @BrambleBearWhuffling , @Broadfork and everyone else who participated!

"To save the planet, we could eat less meat."
"OH, WHILE BILLIONAIRS FLY EVERYWHERE?!"
"Well, we could get rid of capitalism."
"THAT'S THE BEST SYSTEM TO EVER EXIST!"
"We could also try diving less."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS, WE *NEED* TO DRIVE!!"
"Perhaps a few degrees on the thermo-"
"THE. HOUSE. STAYS. WARM!!!"
At some point we just chose to ruin the only inhabitable planet we know of. Im mean; Mars ain't gonna work before we figure earth out.
Imagine being mad that someone used ChatGPT to fact-check a Netflix drama like it’s not already more accurate than 70% of dinner table dads and 100% of Reddit comments. Society didn’t fall because of AI. It fell when we gave IMDb reviews this much power. 🍿🤖 #Doomposting
I've had a couple of folks thank me for my positive posts today. ☺️ I guess, to put it in the words of #ModestMouse, I had good news for people who like bad news? Lol. Just kidding. SPS is always a nice change from my usual #Doomposting!
Shifting gears for a bit. I just saw some upcoming #Wabanaki and #Nature-themed events that are coming up before #SolarPunkSunday, so I'll be posting those before switching back to #Doomposting. Stay tuned...
Hopelessness is a deeply conservative reaction to change and challenge
In the face of mounting crisis - social breakdown, political polarization, ecological collapse - many people turn inward. And in this turn, they mistake passivity, irony and detachment for resistance. But hopelessness is not radical, it’s deeply conservative. It says: “Nothing can change.” “Everything is corrupt.” “Why bother?” This isn’t rebellion, it’s surrender. And it’s the exact emotional state that power systems - what we call the #deathcult of neoliberalism - need […]https://hamishcampbell.com/hopelessness-is-a-deeply-conservative-reaction-to-change-and-challenge/
Alrighty then. Time for #SolarPunkSunday! #Doomposting shall begin again around 6pm EDT. But for now, it's time for #Composting (and other related topics)!
Easing my way back into the #Doomposting (and boy, there's a lot of #DoomAndGloom out there). I did spend some quality time at the ##MétisOfMaine #PowWow today, and made some new friends -- including a fellow Two-Spirit person, who recognized that I, too, was one. We talked about what to wear when dancing (they were wearing both a ribbon shirt and a ribbon skirt). I mentioned that I felt called to wear a ribbon shirt (with pants), but also use a shawl -- because as a Diindiisi (Ojibwe word for "Blue Jay"), I needed wings when dancing. They totally understood where I was coming from. Hung out with a talented seamstress (a different one than the one who made my shawl), and talked to her about decorating my shawl with Blue Jay colors, along with the Métis symbol, and she should have the work done by the next PowWow. Psyched!
Also, I, too, am guilty of doing this exact same thing. And someone pointed it out, and I realized that I was being an asshole. After some deep self-examination of my own values, I realized that despite my #Doomposting, part of me still has hope that a better world is possible -- which is why I started #SolarPunkSunday. If you've given up, I get that. But please don't hate on others who haven't. Mute the hashtag, mute my account -- but don't be an asshole. After all, who is the REAL enemy? It sure ain't the folks who dare to have hope -- despite the odds! #TheOddsAreNeverInOurFavor
Well, that wraps up today's #SolarPunkSunday ! A special shout out to @MaQuest, @BrambleBearGrrrauwling, and @CycleWR for participating! Join us next Sunday! Now, back to #Doomposting and the news...
Alrighty then. That about wraps up this week's #SolarPunkSunday . Tune in next week! Now, back to #DoomPosting and fighting #Fascism !
Easing back into the #DoomPosting. Re-posting earlier #SolarpunkSunday posts, then I'll focus on #MayDay protests in Maine, NH, and elsewhere! Then updates on breaking news of the fascist takeover(s) going on -- and resistance against them!
So, I'll be re-tooting some #SolarPunkSunday articles again later in the day, but now I'm going to shift gears and post about a related topic -- #NativeAmericanFood and #NativeAmericanFoodSovereignty. I've been wanting to post these for a while, and I figure Sunday is a good day for that -- since I'm consciously taking a break from the #DoomPosting for a bit (that will resume at around 6pm EDT).
