"Life is a planetary level phenomenon and the Earth has been alive for at least 3000 million years. To me the human move to take responsibility for the living Earth is laughable - the rhetoric of the powerless. The planet takes care of us, not we of it. Our self inflated moral imperative to guide a wayward Earth or heal a sick planet is evidence of our immense capacity for self-delusion. Rather, we need to protect us from ourselves." Lynn Margulis https://nina-vinot.medium.com/lynn-margulis-the-woman-who-transformed-the-meaning-of-self-and-evolution-b8d0df2959aa

Where Darwin saw nature as ‘tooth & claw’ in the survival of the fittest, she saw a kinder, cooperative world, based on symbiosis. Combination of beings as a true creative life force. “Life did not take over the globe by combat but by networking”

$• Matriarchy • Patriarchy . Future (Graphic shows relatively recent emergence of patriarchal systems weighted to benefit men and suppress women) Homo sapiens emerged somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago, and for approximately 290,000 of those years, we lived in egalitarian, matrilineal societies. We organized ourselves around mothers and maternal lineages, shared resources without the concept of private property, and raised children collectively rather than isolating them in nuclear families. Different types of work were valued without creating hierarchies that labeled some contributions as superior to others. Patriarchy isn't ancient in any meaningful sense. Instead, patriarchy is astonishingly recent. It's a brief and brutal experiment that has only existed for a tiny fraction of human history. And right now, in our lifetimes, we may very well be watching it fail.$

Thank you, sister Jules. Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi are but the latest examples of where putting trust in male overlords will get you. #Patriarchy (also internalized by 🚺) is a brief and brutal experiment that can be both challenged and transformed.

Don’t look back. You are not going that way.
Our way is forward. We reimagine, reinvent, dismantle, create, transform, rebuild. We have always done so and will do so again🌳🌏🌲🌱

One of my clients made this for me. Today her suicidal thinking is gone, she is over 70 days without self harm.

Cases like these are why I do what I do.

Why was 'incredible' giant cedar cut down, despite B.C.'s big-tree protection law? | CBC News Conservationists are questioning why an old-growth yellow cedar tree with a diameter that should have ensured its protection and a buffer area around it under provincial law was logged.

1000-year-old trees. Irreplaceable biodiversity. Plundered. For greed. For short-term profits for the few
"I think the issue isn't why are trees like this being cut down, it's why are places like this being destroyed? That's the bigger question," he said.

@garys79.bsky.social on 🔥 this morning⭐️.
In a century where drinking water is already a scarce resource (as we empty non-renewable aquifers worldwide) our necro-capitalist system (TY @tsakraklides.bsky.social💖) ensures what little we have will be sacrificed to short-term profit.

2025, folks
Already guaranteed to reach +2C far sooner than was anticipated only a few decades so.
Literally murdering humans and all other forms of life on our glorious planet - for profit. For a most select few.

A world where women, LGBTQ+, and marginalized voices thrive without fear. A world where power isn't hoarded-it's shared. A world where our worth isn't tied to productivity, but to our joy. A world where community, care, and liberation replace control and oppression. @THESHABBYCREEKCOTTAGE

The interconnectedness of being, indeed, my wise friend. We will get there.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN ?! says unkempt unfit man wearing suit labeled “arm industry” with the American flag while his head is a revolver labeled “NRA”, holding a newspaper with the headline CHARLIE KIRK SHOT DEAD while surrounded by rifles and money. Cartoonist @rodriguezmonos🙌🌺

Such a powerful cartoon, sister @annettebeebe.bsky.social, thank you for sharing. Yes, cultures that glorify/profit from violence, conquest & warfare will also create the conditions for same. Then stand by dumbfounded as it plays out in their own backyards. ‘Twas ever thus, however

Yes. Enough already.
This is a global problem.
When we humans treat the earth and all life forms here as disposable, exploitable, replaceable, renewable (when none of this is true) then our humanity suffers.
We are all one.
Everything on and in this beautiful orb.

A society grows great when old people plant Trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in. Greek Proverb

Plan for the future. Think long term. Imagine the world we want to live in and make it a reality. A world suitable for our descendants, for all life.

Otherwise I got out of bed on two strong legs. It might have been otherwise. I ate cereal, sweet milk, ripe, flawless peach. It might have been otherwise. I took the dog uphill to the birchwood. All morning I did the work I love. At noon I lay down with my mate. It might have been otherwise. We ate dinner together at a table with silver candlesticks. It might have been otherwise. I slept in a bed in a room with paintings on the walls, and planned another day just like this day. But one day, I know, it will be otherwise. JANE KENYON
