New Essay entitled "WTF Is Social Ecology?"
"The ecological crisis is not caused by an excess of human freedom; itis instead caused by the destruction of social freedom that happens through domination and exploitation towards goals of profit and powerover others"

Here's my first blog post in response to the 2024 election in the U.S.
I've supported municipalism for years. Now that fascism is on the rise in the U.S. and beyond, municipalism is more important than ever.
Let's meet in our local communities to support mutual aid efforts & build power together.

"Radical municipalism is a political and social philosophy that advocates for transformative change at the local level, with a focus on participatory and grassroots democracy.”

As the grid loses power in heatwaves, and communities & landscapes face mounting extraction for battery supply chains, this video shows how we can make environmentally just transitions to solar at scale — cooking, heating, refrigerating food, and living our daily lives.
This is especially important in the context of mining, and furthers the vision of the newly announced Indigenous Peoples Principles and Protocols for Just Transition.
We're looking to support this vision in urban and residential areas through new housing projects, resilience hubs, and retrofits/conversions to existing buildings. If you're interested, we're very up to collaborate and connect with new partners on that!
Finally, please watch and share! We're hoping for a lot of people to see this, and watching till the end helps algorithms recommend it to more people. Hoping to bring a lot more of the conversation to this direction.
