"Become community sufficient", rather than self sufficient...

With thanks to our friends at Community Roots Permaculture Project up in Bolton for their important edits!

Transition groups are focused on what we can do together, as communities, rather than what we do as individuals.

No matter how committed, energetic, well-informed we might be, to reimagine and rebuild our future, we need to work together; to consider everyone's needs, not just our own...

Plus, it's a lot more joyful and a lot less exhausting than trying to do it on your own. Join in!

A good news story - an iwi led local climate change strategy for a small town in Te Moana a Toi-te-Huatahi/the Bay of Plenty. Don't wait for the government to (not) get their ass into gear.

@tuxom We should do as much as possible
...
and acknowledge that it's one of many important crises
...
and that we will likely not make it without collapse
...
and that we should aim for the most fair and best outcome for all humans & other beings

At the Harvard Book Store celebration for the Eileen Myles-edited anthology "Pathetic Literature," excerpts were read by Tom Cole, Abe Rybeck, Liev Xue, Ama Birch and Porscha Olayiwola. There are some pics and a few paragraphs over on Spike Magazine substack that you can read without having to subscribe if that's not your bag. [Spike Magazine is in its soft opening stage.]

The grues (cranes) continue to head south, while we bbq in t-shirts in mid-November. A lovely day, but we're mindful of the climate reality. We're actively working on building community resilience as a group of friends - we eat together, and we join forces to work on our homes, to insulate and renovate them together. Developing the social muscles of pulling together so if we need to we can help each other out in hard times โ™ฅ๏ธ
