There is a petition on behalf of @ZackPolanski on the 38 Degrees platform against palantir being involved in the NHS.
I've just signed this petition. Will you add your name and share too?

RE: https://mstdn.social/@DarkOptimism/115720005925845085
I just enrolled on this myself, despite the overlap with our own ongoing #SurvivingTheFuture:#TheDeeperDive.
It simply feels a bit unmissable!! 😍 ✊

Looking forward to hanging out with the incomparable #JoeBrewer and discussing ‘#Death and #Rebirth, #Collapse, #Composting and #Regeneration’ at the #DeepLiveGathering.
A free event NEXT Monday, where we'll reflect on how these realities are reshaping our lives, communities, and the world at large, and how we might choose to live (and die) in that context.

I'm horrified to hear that after killing #SchumacherCollege (my blog post about that here: https://www.darkoptimism.org/2024/08/31/death-and-rebirth-farewell-dear-schumacher-college-hello-new-friends/ ) the #DartingtonHallTrust is now looking to evict #MartinCrawford and uproot the finest forest garden in the temperate world; a place that was a personal inspiration to #MarkBoyle and me.
Needless to say, such places cannot quickly be moved or restored.

Looking forward to opening #TheDeeperDive with Nate Hagens on Tuesday.
He and I have been doing these together for six years now, and the community it's birthed has become a real support in everything we're all doing to reshape our futures around the world ❤️
I'm feeling thankful, and excited to meet the new cohort!!

It's not given to me to know how the dead feel about their birthdays, but I today raise a glass to my late friend #DavidFleming, who would have been 85 today 🍻
For the legacy of inspiration which led, among so much else, to our whole #SurvivingTheFuture community, which another 50 folk will join next week
It's also not given to me to know how my life might have gone without him. Or if that question even makes sense..
But my gratitude is profound — thank you, dear man!

Since that powerful article has received so much love overnight, thought some of y'all might also enjoy this wonderful new #WaterIsLove movie out of #Tamera, grounded in that very same understanding, which they've been acting on for decades 💧❤️

Thank you Shaun Chamberlain of @DarkOptimism for radically changing my world, with the article below.
I've been struggling with a loss of hope recently, and love your concept of #DarkOptimism
I also love the "two legged" model for bringing #CO2 #emissions together with #biodiversity loss as different parts of the same challenge facing humanity.
Your inspiration is much appreciated

Ah, absolutely my pleasure Pauline.This short piece perhaps best sums up the strength that I too find in the realisation:
https://www.darkoptimism.org/2013/01/20/the-secret-truth-behind-environmentalists/My late friend #MichaelDowd called it the 'post doom' space, which is another term I love. If of interest, here's our very first conversation — I guess it's #postdoom meeting #darkoptimism and, perhaps unsurprisingly, finding we had a lot in common..!

@DarkOptimism i finally read your piece about Schumacher College yesterday ( @urlyman also posted it here) - that is incredibly sad news. I kept on meaning to visit and was in touch with Ruth Potts there last year .. but I am very glad that it led me to your websites and work, and to #DarkOptimism! That shall be my outlook now too 😊

In honour of #SchumacherCollege, a place that changed my life, on the occasion of its sudden closure.
And of its successors, carrying the fire onwards:

@pvonhellermannn Thanks to your introduction to them (and a scan of their stuff), I gave the New School of the Anthropocene a mention in my piece today about #SchumacherCollege's demise:
