Holy Sh*t, Overshoot! Don’t Dither; Do

Climate / Conversation / Money & Life / Social commentary July 28, 2022 July 28, 2022 4 Comments

Today is EARTH OVERSHOOT DAY. Tomorrow we go into ecological deficit. Humans have used the entire annual budget of resources that can replenished by nature. We entered overshoot ~ 40 years ago. When I saw the overshoot (and collapse) graph back then, I said “Holy …

Moving Wisdom; Moving Words
Climate / Conversation / Freedom / Social commentary November 20, 2021 November 20, 2021 2 Comments

   Last night I dreamed of children coming together from the 4 corners of the earth, like 4 tribes bringing their gifts. Not one of their gifts, however, were understood, or received respectfully, by the other tribes, and so they all felt confused, disappointed, unmet, …

Help! I’m caught in a nation of binaries

Help! I’m caught in a nation of binaries
Climate / Conversation / Freedom / Social commentary October 31, 2021 October 31, 2021 20 Comments

  Maybe you haven’t missed me, but I haven’t been blogging much lately. It’s not writer’s block. It’s tongue tide, as in the tide of speaking my truth is low… and I am too. The haters – left and right – are outside the gate …

Post-Pandemic Etiquette for the Unvaxxed

Post-Pandemic Etiquette for the Unvaxxed
Climate / Freedom / Social commentary May 25, 2021 May 25, 2021 7 Comments

  As we emerge from the lock-down across the United States, political polarization is adapting rather than disappearing. I am not blameless. Unfortunately. I’ve branded those who won’t vaccinate as I had those who won’t mask and distance. Where are your manners? Your solidarity in …

   Well, I do declare… I declare that I have to say this for my own dignity, sanity and integrity.  I need to say where I stand in this world, even if I feel like a fool saying it, given how the devastating story running …

   What could possibly go right? Now. 2021. Now as the vaccines loosen us up, sending kids to schools and people to work. Now that unemployment is down and the stimmy checks are landing in bank accounts. Now that we’ve collectively wrenched power from the …

Climate / Food & Food Systems / Life Design / Money & Life April 18, 2020 April 19, 2020 17 Comments

The natives are restless out here in Quarantine USA. I am too. I want to dance with my friends, hug them in public, browse around thrift stores looking for bargains, shoot off my wide open mouth over coffee in a cafe. I want to touch …

Coexistence as the climate changes

Climate / Conversation / Life Design / Social commentary December 1, 2019 December 1, 2019 4 Comments

As a member of the Deep Adaptation Forum, I was invited to write a  post for Jem Bendell’s blog. I’d been reading posts in the Forum various plans to move to the country, buy property, invite people to build an intentional community together, and ride out …

What the climate will change

What the climate will change
Climate / Money & Life / Social commentary September 3, 2019 September 16, 2019 2 Comments

 We talk of “climate change” as if it is a phenomenon out there, not in here. That comfortable lie shattered this year, and this post spills out some of my feelings. If climate change is someone else’s responsibility, we play the blame game, and put …
