Reflecting on how creative work, imagination and ideation is part of building collective solidarity and direct actions. Reading Emerging Strategy by @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social and How to Fall in Love With the Future by @robintransition.bsky.social feel in conversation with one another.

Reaction from Transition Towns' founder @robintransition.bsky.social to the ec0-vandalism proposed by Dartington Trust and how YOU can make your views known. We should be fighting tooth and nail for initiatives like this, not seeing them trashed. westcountryvoices.co.uk/like-using-t...

I’m incandescent, furious, overflowing with rage at Dartington Trust’s ability to continually make the wrong decisions, decisions that show they are out of touch with pretty much everything. In partic...

Thrilled to be able to share the cover of my forthcoming book 'How to Fall in Love with the Future' with you. To be published June 17th by @chelseagreenbooks.bsky.social. Cover designed by linocut master Aga Kubish (agakubish.com). Really delighted with how it turned out.
A fabulous article pouring beautifully poetic scorn on Musk's 'colonise Mars' horseshit, about "the Earth uninhabitable for the sake of leaving it for someplace even worse". You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why anyone believes this nonsense: defector.com/neither-elon...

"Fascists like Musk and Trump hate creativity, imagination, daring, playfulness, people who speak of dreams and build pictures of a future predicated in decency, compassion, courage, connection." Let's envision and exemplify the better future we want together because we can't let dystopias win. 💭🌱🌄🤩
