@RickiTarr 1982 - I was 16 and using a school computer to look up college programs for classmates. Must have been 600 baud? 13 years later, it was probably a 14.4 modem through AOL. I had no idea there was a whole www behind AOL’s portal.

Thank you, @egies.
" "Planting one trillion trees is wrong,” said Makarieva...." Instead, the goal should be to restore ecosystem functionality."

The article also has implications for the push to plant trees as a strategy for carbon offsets. #ESG #Sustainability

@SusanHR @hermatenseldam @BrentToderian I’m not in love with the “stick” framework, as if our unsustainable transport culture all comes down to individual choice, i.e., “the populist market will decide.” The power elite WANT car culture. Across the planet, we have induced demand, a demand that’s designed to promote passenger vehicles and sprawl. We need to triple down on the walkable/rollable community & resplendant, low emissions rail. Lots of carrots there.

Please reconsider your second bullet-point, re.: family size.

The problem with energy use (1) and water use (2) is that countries like Canada and the U.S. have some of the highest per capita use rates. It's not about the size of the population but rather the amount used per person.

Arielle Angel, Jewish Currents editor, describes a realistic and abundant vision for Israel & Palestine: "We need to imagine a movement for liberation better even than the Exodus—an exodus where neither people has to leave. Where people stay to pick up the pieces, rearranging themselves not just as Jews [Israelis] or Palestinians but as antifascists and workers and artists."

I'm not sure why non-profits have moments of bullsh*t.

In All About Love, bell hooks describes three areas where supremacy culture (i.e., bullsh*t) can show up in our lives: the institution (healthcare, economy, etc.); the interpersonal (relationships, family, etc.); and the the personal (lack of self love, internalized colonization, etc.).

I think we have the most influence over how we manage our personal lives as a strategy to influence the other two.

And I'd sure like help from our institutions so that housing, healthcare, transportation, energy, conservation, food, labor, and especially thriving, were all more normal, more available, more just.

I'm not much for war, but I appreciate this quote: "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Re.: Advocacy v. negotiation.

After reading A Green New Deal for Boston,* I am reminded that the normalized assumption should be that the world belongs to people (and other living things), and that anyone or anything who wants to change that needs to negotiate exceptions, not the other way around.

@NPR Re.: The author’s idea that sexism has had an evolutionary function. What if the extended family, rather than birthing alone, is also an indicator of successful evolution? This line of reasoning acknowledges the value of non-birthing parents who can help take of the family. Even so, I still can’t figure out the origin of pre-capitalist oppression.
