“The absence of war alone is not peace. The fighting can be stopped temporarily by international fiat and by the exhaustion of bodies and weapons, but if the political injustice underlying the fighting is not corrected, then we know there will always be more fighting.”

Finding a lot of cool research/databases related to “collapsology” for @losingourmindspod.bsky.social! I really want to be an expert in this, which means diving into climatology, economics, sociology, philosophy… I’m eager to talk with anyone knowledgeable about these—whether we’re recording or not!

If any mutuals are interested in joining me on an episode of @losingourmindspod.bsky.social, collaborating on a written piece or being a guest writer, please get in touch, either through DMs or by email at [email protected]! :)

You’re not the only one who feels like you’re losing your mind. Everyone I talk to has said this to me. This world is taking a toll on all of us, even those who are trying not to pay attention. Let this connect you to other people in solidarity rather than isolate you.

Life shouldn’t be like this. The world shouldn’t be like this. Our birthright of harmony and wonder has been stolen by heartless usurpers to such a degree that we think the problem with the world is us—that we’re deeply, hopelessly broken and not worth saving. We’ve never known the lives we’re owed.

Working on a new @losingourmindspod.bsky.social piece about the rhythms of life, nature, addiction and collapse. Should be posting it soon! Apologies for the hiatus and many thanks to everyone who’s continued to support the project—it means a lot! Meanwhile, please check out past episodes/pieces.

We’re at the point where it’s absolutely clear that everyone’s survival depends on everyone else’s, on global cooperation, and that anyone making distinctions between the worth of different human lives is afflicted with the deadliest of insanities, a death-cult ideology that would destroy us all.

I’ve started the book myself and it touches on many of the things we talked about in the interview: open.spotify.com/episode/1CQC...

One of our guests, Dr. Patricia Kaishian, has just released a new book! “Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature” is now available here: patriciakaishian.com/forest-eupho...

Hey all! Would really appreciate any help you can send for car maintenance while I look for more permanent employment. Thanks!

In the more immediate-term, I could also really use some gas money so that I can make a few deliveries today, as I’m waiting on a check to post tomorrow and need to make a few purchases today. Thank you! 🙏

I haven’t been active online in a long time because I went into a winter deep-freeze, but I’m thawing out now and there’ll be new @losingourmindspod.bsky.social episodes & pieces coming shortly! I’m excited to jump back in. (I also haven’t seen who’s followed me—if you’re someone I know, DM me!)

This year saw the birth of a project that’s very dear to my heart, @losingourmindspod.bsky.social! Please check out the first 5 episodes and 18 written pieces on the Patreon (and Spotify, Apple, etc.) and subscribe if you enjoy them! www.patreon.com/LosingOurMin...

Please get in touch if you’re interested in being a guest on @losingourmindspod.bsky.social! Experts & non-experts alike. The driving assumptions are: 1) everyone is experiencing this and so has something to say, and 2) everything relates to the end of the world in some way!

I live in an area of frequent wildfires and it makes me reflect, every year, on how easily we can lose the things we care about. Good, beautiful things that you might not think about all the time, and maybe things that you didn't expect to care about. That's why I care.

I make this very clear in the first episode of the podcast, but since it isn’t out yet, let me just say: this is not a doomerist project! I am not a fatalist! Not a nihilist! I have not given up hope and won’t until and unless we are all dead! By “end of the world,” I mean to highlight the gravity…

“It is definitely becoming increasingly common for people to have these overwhelming feelings about the world, … there’s a lot of people feeling the weight of the world upon them.” @borzoilover47.bsky.social in the upcoming episode

From the first episode: “The whole reason anybody ought to give a shit about the end of the world is because of the beauty and goodness of this world and its people.”
