Time: the delusion of emptiness
The world does not ask us to fill its emptiness. It asks us to notice that it has been full all along and to act with the respect that such fullness deserves.

Making Home in the Holidays
I want all the outraged folks to learn from this. Walk away now. In fact, run. Do whatever you can within your community to pull all your needs within that small boundary. This benefits your community as well as you, building strength and resilience in your place and creating networks of reciprocity

From the trinity of destruction to the sacredness of nature
It is easy to say things such as “we must take care of nature” or “humans must respect all other organisms” or even “we are no better/have no more right to exist than frogs/deer/bugs”. But what does it mean?

Ditching Dualism #3: The Divorce
In the dualist view, because we possess a mind—and a superior one, at that—we still privilege ourselves as special and separate. In other words, the destructive consequences of dualism stem more from the mind/matter split than from which beings are included in the (still hierarchical) club.

Am I a Terrorist?
In the face of the climate crisis and unprecedented wealth inequality we’re imagining, and working toward lives no longer guided and marked by overconsumption, environmental devastation and dreams blocked by lack of opportunity based on economic class. So, yep, I’m anti-fascism and have a problem with capitalism. Does that make me a terrorist?

Do capitalists really hate capitalism?
Capitalists, at least those at the pinnacles of their industries, may have a distinct aversion to being subject to market rule, as Doctorow writes. But as Battistoni writes, they show no such ambivalence about class rule, which gives them non-democratic control over where and how investments are either made or not made.
