To rise in consciousness without love is to stretch into abstraction — a sky vast yet cold, where light travels without warmth. To love without consciousness is to burn without form — a fire fierce but blind, consuming without understanding. The full bloom of being, presence entwine. #Andean
I highly recommend the work of Derek Gregory on drones and the ways in which they moved from operating in extraterritorial zones to urban environments, made borders elastic, and changed targeting from static places to mobile bodies.
Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu · 4h agoThe experience of being chased by a murderous kamikaze drone, a flying machine that behaves as if it were alive, is not one that humans are equipped to understand: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Real change might require sustained hardship: “the level of mass mobilization needed is only possible if society is experiencing large-scale and sustained levels of risk that have tangible long-term consequences in terms of social cost to people and property.” www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Remember that a human has many intelligences, relational, somatic, emotional, energetic, intuitive, and linguistic. And even amongst the linguistic flavor there are so many ways to use words, including to capture the fruits of the other intelligences.
In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate
The constant expansion and costs to human and non-human ecology of data centers is an almost absurdly perfect example of the way in which technological capitalism creates new "needs" that previously did not exist and more or less rams them into being whether anyone asked for their fulfillment or not

Generative AI psychosis and delusion is a real thing, as is the degradation of analytical skills. This increasingly makes conversations difficult with those who have "converted" to using it. Along with the clickbait-ification of everything and the adoption of predatory logarithms. Stay vigilant.
About time. I’ve read this book six times. Seminal for this megamachine kludge of a consumer culture. I’ll download this strait into my neural net as soon as it drops.

"It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone," writes @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. "The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties."

Business as usual is ecocide. It is the corporations, banks, billionaires, and politicians who are the terrorists. People who believe themselves to be so “smart” they don’t have to operate within planetary boundaries or biophysical constraints.. Idiot sociopaths, every single one of them.
Short version: it means our corporate banker PM is putting politics and profit over people and planet. Any politician open to building yet another oil pipeline (on taxpayers dime no less) is not to be taken seriously, and must be ridiculed openly for being complicit in burning our future.

“Despite the fantasies of some wealthy survivalists, who hope to ride out the apocalypse in well-stocked bunkers, worldwide ecological degradation makes it clear that human and nonhuman destinies are inextricably tied to each other in a biosphere that encompasses us all.” 🌏 - Low tide today ⬇️
"...Andy Burnham risks getting stuck in a ‘derailment’ doom loop if he doesn’t tackle #climate adaptation." This piece, co-authored with @carolinelucas.bsky.social, examines the two quite different conversations taking place around this topic. rupertsreads.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-...

Nature - Ultra-weak ‘biophotons’ might be used to diagnose disease, or could even represent a new signalling mechanism in cells.

Rather than push people to the depths of despair while society breaks down all around us, progressives and democratic socialists want to prioritize human needs over the bottomless appetites of corporations and capital.
Democratic Socialism Is the Compromise Position
Given our scale of inequality, the egalitarian reforms of democratic socialism are only the start of what we should strive for.

The ideological and historical agenda that has motivated the settlement of so-called North American and Palestine is that of Manifest Destiny — which has its equivalent in the idea of the Chosen People, as interpreted in Zionism. Same vibe, same ongoing attempt at the eradication of other peoples.
Understanding the shared ideology behind settler colonialism in Native America and Palestine
Both the United States and Israel were founded and exist on land taken during ongoing genocides. Settler colonialism drives these genocides, and both nations share an ideology that justifies the theft...
