Shed those dependencies!
It’s always gratifying (and harrowing) to read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. But I especially enjoy it when amidst the stark truths about our crisis she turns out passages like this:

Heartening news from the heartland: jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/local-news...
Local news deserves high marks for coverage of the doge fallout
Reporters are telling gripping human stories, connecting the dots from DC to main street, going beyond acronyms to explain what government agencies do & giving voice to concerns of regular people

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

A friend of mine just pitched something to a studio and the executive said, “That’s great, but nobody is buying anything with a point of view right now.”

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Appreciate this most excellent & far ranging list— have only seen 2 and am among those who appreciate ‘Megalopolis’ more since viewing it. ‘Green Border’ (Agnieszka Holland) looks like a must & is streaming on the new Kino Film Collection platform. Let’s support indie film distributors! 🎥 🍿

This era is strange because it is both socially/culturally regressive, yet technologically accelerationist.
Backward + forward at the same time. With human erasure being the goal.
I think those interested in cultural preservation, archival work— resisting erasure will be *especially* important.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
