SEMINAR TOMORROW Thursday Sept. 18, 2025 1PM CET

Food comes from agroecosystems: The role of agriculture for the reproduction of life

In a context of agricultural shifts, my doctorate thesis explores how human and wild biodiversity foods are dependent upon each other though empirical and theoretical methods.

I haven't been very active on here lately, but it's not because I migrated to a different social media or because I didn't enjoy my time on Donphan.social.

In part, it's because I just haven't been using much social media at all. It's nice. Really opens up your calendar.

But the other part is that I've been busy with a bunch of personal projects.

One of them is a fakemon region project. And it's—probably—unlike any you've seen before in more ways than one.

This is an exploration of what a solarpunk anarchist society could look like in the Pokémon world. World-building, character creation and story development are all happening through collective storytelling within my community.

Here's the teaser trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MvbYS27LbF4

If this looks like an interesting project to you, I would appreciate it if you could help me share it.

Thanks, friends.

For those interested in looking at #solarpunk more academically and/or politically, ISE is launching a new course on utopian literature in just a few weeks: https://social-ecology.org/wp/courses/utopian-literature/

The syllabus looks great - the texts chosen are some of my favorites! This would be a great intro for anyone interested in utopian thinking, narrative change, and other ways of approaching hope in dark times.

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.resilience.org/stories/2025-08-01/an-important-new-book-on-the-praxis-of-social-ecology/

📢 New section on our website: “Communalism from A to Z (or almost)!”
🔎 It is intended to complement our “Social Ecology Primer” and thus serve as a lively, accessible, and collective gateway to social ecology and communalism.
📜 We kick things off with our first article: “The POLITICAL versus politics” 👉 https://ecologiesocialeetcommunalisme.org/en/2025/07/31/%f0%9f%93%9c-the-political-versus-politics/
📚 To get started, we invite you to read the introductory section of the section first:

Share, discuss, and critique!

#NATO has proved how it is just an institution to solidify power - democracy or not, we knew it all along. Now with rising fascism and denial of international law, it show that NATO (and its member states) are just a rogue as China or Russia. We knew it already before of course, but the ongoing support for a genocidal country, the illegal bombing of yet another country in the middle east just gets added to the list of wars waged by this network.

NATO network of domination and deserves every resistance from anarchists and social revolutionaries who fight for freedom, equality and a sustainable future for all life on this planet.

Jouissance” is the word that comes to mind. A French word that means enjoyment, in terms both of rights and property, and of sexual orgasm. (The latter has a meaning partially lacking in the English word “enjoyment.”) Jouissance compels the subject to constantly attempt to transgress the prohibitions imposed on his or her enjoyment, to go beyond the pleasure principle. Jouissance is an anchor tenant of psychoanalysis

"Now, there obviously is a white working class in the u.s. A large one, of many, many millions. From offshore oil derricks to the construction trades to auto plants. But it isn't a proletariat. It isn't the most exploited class from which capitalism derives its super profits. Far fucking from it. As a shorthand I call it the "whitetariat".
Unfortunately, whenever Western radicals hear words like "unions" and "working class" a rosy glow glazes over their vision, and the "Internationale" seems to play in the background. Even many anarchists seem to fall into a daze and to magically transport themselves back to seeing the militant socialist workers of Marx and Engels' day. Forgetting that there have been many different kinds of working classes in history. Forgetting that Fred Engels himself criticized the English industrial working class of the late 19th century as a "bourgeois proletariat", an aristocracy of labor. He pointed out how you could tell the non-proletarian, "bourgeois" strata of the English working class – they were the sectors that were dominated by adult men, not women or children. Engels also wrote that the "bourgeois" sectors were those that were unionized. Sounds like a raving ultra-leftist, doesn't he? (which he sure wasn't).
So that this is a strategic and not a tactical problem, that it has a material basis in imperialized class privilege, has long been understood by those willing to see reality. (the fact that we have radical movements here addicted to not seeing reality is a much larger crisis than any one issue)."

"Socialism did not have anything particularly new to teach me; however, it provided me with the theory to verify what I already knew emotionally from my own past. I was poor then; I am poor now. Because of this I have been overworked, mistreated, tormented, oppressed, deprived of my freedom, exploited, and ruled by people with money. I had always harbored a deep antagonism toward people with that kind of power and a deep sympathy for people from backgrounds like mine."

"Concentrated power can be always wielded in the interest of the few and at the expense of the many. Government in its last analysis is this power reduced to a science. Governments never lead; they follow progress. When the prison, stake or scaffold can no longer silence the voice of the protesting minority, progress moves on a step, but not until then."

Like, milkshaking politicians meant nothing, i think largely because they aren't trapped in layers of tacgear and have to do a (hardly) physical job where they stand around for hours.

People really need to get into hosing down ice agents with cold water when its wet or cold, they all look too comfortable and their gear isnt heavy enough. Maybe something sweeter and thicker for when its warm and dry
