Tools to find the others.

Ways to build islands of #sanity.

A #refuge from the storm, a break from anxiety.

Open heart, eyes, ears, mind.

Shared #ethics.

Shared creative guardrails.

A shared vision, things to do.

Bridges between islands.

An actual transformative #movement.

Big resourced friends who love hot water,

Please consider this wonderful large property and its truly alchemical hot springs.

Please consider how once you are the stewards, you might keep it as open and accessible as possible.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

A fascinating evening at The Lightning Society in Brooklyn, put together by our friends Benjamin Von Wong and featuring Michael Mezzatesta and myself, all about the present and future of leaning into regenerative economics.

Our movement is in the air! It was a packed house!

Our son is developing quite the vocabulary and so I'm offering small nuggets of dad advice I hope will serve him well.

Become competent, not expert, at everything you touch.

Last night's sunset release of baby turtles on Playa La Ropa. The boy was immobilized and frankly concerned. We had to explain that they live in the ocean and are happy there.

Perhaps the problem is the incentives of a representative republic dominated by a narrow Overton Window of only two corporatist parties?

I don't know.

What do you think?
Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

When will we make ecocide a crime?

When will the laws reflect the values that most of us already carry, that a flourishing natural world, clean air and water, is a child's birthright?

Serial killers and violent criminals dominate the headlines. What if we covered ecocide and pollution in the same way?

@nickjankel.bsky.social thanks again for popping up to SF from LA after your trip to Amsterdam.

Going into The Dark together was a transformative conversation for our community, reflecting on courage, introspection and the kind of initiations and medicine needed by so many right now in our society.

On Saturday night we hosted about 60 Good People at TinkerTendo for a dinner to celebrate David Gelles and his new book Dirtbag Billionaire, about Yvon Chouinnard and Patagonia.

Big thanks to Esther Yoon, Matt Mullenweg, Hanif Sadr and especially Karin Justine Johnson for making this all possible.

Good. An abrupt interruption might wake some people up.

I would join a general strike as well.
