I am gathering my supplies to mend a pair of pants during a community meeting this evening and let me count the ways that this is a tiny disruption to patterns that would have you believe they are the natural, unstoppable order of things....

Volatility "is far riskier than a steady decline."
If you live at 34º South then recent research indicates that this region has become a "climate fault line."

34° South: A New Climate Fault Line
In recent years, when you talk to people living around 34° South they will tell you that something hasn’t been quite right with the climate. Rain still falls, sometimes heavily, yet rivers fail to hold their flows. Dams rise briefly, then slide back. Water stress feels like it is just constantly there. “Average” years no […]

Nothing is still. Not you with your in-breath and out-breath and the slow exchange of your bones with the minerals of the soil. And definitely not the spinning earth and her swirling atmosphere.
Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

Among Western democracies, the US is basically in a league of its own. No other comparable democracy has climate denial so deeply embedded in a major political party, its media ecosystem, and parts of government.
It remains the largest contributor to the 425.78 ppm CO2 currently in the atmosphere.

So many ways to tame the "overwhelm."
Reduce, reuse (create from cast-offs), compost to heal/enrich soil, grow fresh produce to nurture your soul and share with others, monitor consumption, value renewable energy and community, connect with and learn from all, etc. etc.

Consider: the overwhelm you feel is the signature product of extractive systems that require exponential growth to continue.

I can't think of anything scarier than this.
The greenhouse gases we have added to the atmosphere now force over a billion Hiroshima bombs worth of heat into the Earth system every year.

Patients are pinballs in a pinball MACHINE played by a high scoring teenage pinball wizard of the 1970s.
At least that is how it feels to me as a new patient.

What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced.
We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.

Growing and preserving food is a lot of work, and access to land and time to do so isn't (yet) distributed fairly. But in the pockets where it is possible it's an act of connection, of divestment, of re-investment, and sometimes, healing.

I think one challenge in living among so much uncertainty and tragedy is the way capitalism has taught us that our quiet, domestic moments don’t count for anything. (1/6)
