  1. Car ramming attacks: Weaponized cars have a global footprint

    "It subconsciously becomes part of the repertoire of options for people to express their anger in some way and they get exposed to it through the vectors of the media and social media."

    "Redesigned urban areas could be one of the simplest ways to prevent car ramming attacks. Paille points to separating roads and footpaths as an example. "Things that make it more difficult for a vehicle to access certain spaces…I found that quite interesting in terms of thinking about public space and making sure it is usable by everyday citizens, but also can help their safety. Bollards are one option commonly used in built-up areas…”

  6. 6.6: Emotional Literacy with Dr Tiffany Millacci

    In this week’s episode, Ariel quizzes guest Dr Tiffany Millacci about emotional literacy. What is this relatively new phrase? How can being emotionally literate help us to navigate difficult conversations, awkward interactions, or even generally just having relationships in the first place? Isn’t all this talk of emotions just a different way for the self-help industry to get us to buy stuff?

    Join us for a fascinating conversation about a complex topic - we barely skim the surface! But never fear, Dr Millacci has your back; listen in for some good places to start learning more.

    Check out our blog for links!

    Disclaimer: We’re coming from a white, western viewpoint and we recognize the limitations and strictures of that - even within the same cultures and societies (heck, within the same families) emotional expression can vary wildly according to personality, gender, neurodivergence, whatever your social location. This interview necessarily takes broad strokes to begin a conversation about how to better be in community with each other, and it is our hope that we can continue to showcase how this can vary, taking steps towards a solarpunk future where people can disagree - even on important topics like politics and religion - without violence or relationship rupture.

    6.1: How Dare Solarpunks Do OUTRAGE?!!! Ariel & Christina Discuss

    Now streaming: some hot takes from your solarpunk aunties. Ariel and Christina consider why wallowing in negative feelings is just so delicious ... as opposed to wallowing in, you know, acts of kindness and feelings of compassion, which are just a bit more solarpunk. We live in an age of outrage, it seems: cancelling, social media mobbing, cyberbullying ... but also drawing attention to human rights violations, or dodgy political happenings, or just straight-up illegal goings-on! How can we tell whether our outrage is justified or not? How can we avoid emotional manipulation? Can we think of outrage as a solarpunk tool?

  8. Following hot on the heels of last week’s discussion of naïveté in solarpunk, @arielkroon wants to address the idea of hope head-on. “Hope” is a word that gives people warm fuzzy feelings when they read it or use it, but she's not sure that it’s very well understood in this day and age. Because most people equate the concept of hope with that of naïve positivity and intentional ignorance of “reality”.

  14. Today's #Lent Without Borders newsletter features Rwandan doctor Dr Evrard Nahimana and he focuses his #reflection on solidarity in #healthcare:

    "I strongly believe that solidarity rather than charity is the antidote to despair..."

    Puts #solidarity in a new light and spins it into the realm of #affective responses / mitigation of negative feels. We can expand to #climate #anxiety, #political #despair, overwhelm etc.

  15. Was writing out the six books to get to know me and realized that I was listing all the books that had a deep formative impact on me growing up. That's a different post. Adult!me has been/is imaginatively shaped by:

    1. The Broken Earth trilogy
    2. Lord of the Rings & Silmarillion
    3. Oryx and Crake
    4. Moon of the Crusted Snow
    5. Cruel Optimism
    6. New York 2140

    Yes, one's a theory text and there are a few trilogies but I stand by it.
