"The system will collapse, if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notions of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on the way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." -- Arhundati Roy

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: "The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it's only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse." — Terence McKenna

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: “If we wait for the governments, it’ll be too little, too late; if we act as individuals, it’ll be too little; but if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time.” — Rob Hopkins

We don’t want to feel obligated. But then the root meaning of obligation is simply “with strings.” There are ties that bind us together; there are obligations. Relationships are about commitments. The solution is reconciliation. It's about connecting the dots with the ties that bind us to all our relations. And that requires understanding obligations in a non-binary world.

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: “Emerging at the other end [of resilience transition], we will not be the same as we were; we will have become more humble, more connected to the natural world, fitter, leaner, more skilled and, ultimately, wiser.” — Rob Hopkins Text superimposed on an image of mulched garden beds with a figure crouched over, digging in the soil to plant seedlings.

"Game B is notoriously difficult to think and talk about for the very good reason that if you were using the conceptual structures that came out of Game A to do so, you may very well be poisoning the well." - Jordan Hall

“I am done with smiling in the face of incrementalism. | am done with massaging communications to be ‘positive’ to deny the horror we are facing. | am done with not calling out small measures framed as ‘climate leadership’ when the house is, literally on fire.” Tzeporah Berman

Peacemaking doesn’t mean passivity. It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice, the act of disarmingevil without destroying the evildoer, the act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. It is about a revolution of Love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free. — Shane Claiborne, Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals

"HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD" Several frames starting with a crowd of stick figures with a speech bubble showing a skull and cross bones facing a lone stick figure looking perplexed and sad. The crowd looks surprised when the lone figure speaks a little heart. They respond angrily with skill and cross bones. The lone figure responds with the same heart. Then one of the crowd responds with a heart, too, but gets kicked out and crowd yells skull and crossbones. The two speak heart, then many in the crowd speak heart, one yells skull, then group speak heart to the lone one, then the lone one speaks heart.

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: "What makes communities of care both scalable and game-changing for the mental health of those involved in change-making is the quality, care and commitment of relationships, making decisions together and dealing with conflict from the perspective of justice." - Charlie Hertzog Young Text superimposed on an image of a dense growth of spring bluebells and scylla stretching to some sparsely spaced trees.
