The Lifeboat Academy
@lifeboatacademy.bsky.social
Our mission is to support the creation of a fleet of "lifeboats" - place-based resilience networks that share information, resources and aid as we collectively navigate social and economic collapse.
Courageous curiosity is a relational act.
Each honest question deepens the ecology of trust.
Truth isn’t a position—it’s a practice.

On a day like today, the grief is real.
And so is the invitation:
peace isn’t the prize — it’s the practice.

Hot take:
Ecological care = basic manners.

Our economy shouldn’t punish what we love.
We deserve systems that nurture life, not extract it.

Third thoughts are the ones that watch the world and think all by themselves.

Collapse isn’t theoretical anymore.
Our last contract is ending. The work only continues with real support.

If relational resilience matters to you, this is the moment to help sustain it.

The super-rich are torching the planet to keep their comfort — and calling it progress.

If domination worked, we’d be free by now.
Let’s lay the old power games to rest.
Increase the love.

Overconsumption called.
It wants its entire living room back.

Time to redecorate the future.

We were taught to call it the market, but it was always a negotiation with dragons.
What grows when we nurture belonging and care together?

Compassion is radical realism.
When another’s suffering spills over, our task is not to punish but to help.
