Ι am soon starting a #climatecafe study circle in #Malmö where we will be reading the book "How to live in a Chaotic climate: 10 Steps to Reconnect with Ourselves, Our Communities, and Our Planet", a
Book by Aimee Lewis Reau, Chelsie Rivera, and LaUra Schmidt.
Spots are limited to 8!

Cool!
I think I will dive deeper in the 'bursts in biodiversity after extinction events'. Maybe an interesting topic for #hopepunk against #ecoanxiety.

My eco-anxiety is kicking hard, in this period. Therefore I didn't want to listen to this podcast, but I'm glad I did.
It's in Italian, and yes, it says "Are we all going to die?".
But it also gives some hope, a hope I wasn't able to find elsewhere, recently.
We can't fix what we have done, but we can still do better. And we are doing better.
It's gifted for all the #italian speakers.

Moving on....
This is much on my mind as I start an open letter to the US Forest Service about Rump's godawful attempt to rescind the roadless rule.
I unsubscribed and filtered out the climate change # and my Mastodon experience significantly improved.
It’s sad because I am a convinced climate activist (no car, no plane travels, no meat consumption, etc) and I liked being informed.
However #mentalHealth is real, so is #ecoanxiety. For some reason, there is a consensus on not placing content warnings on climate infos. Sure it’s important to have public awareness but so is about war and we CW those toot

Eco‑anxiety and mental health
* What kids told us about eco‑anxiety
"This is our home.
If we destroy it, and we can’t build it up,
then that’s a part of the Earth that’s destroyed,
and we won’t be able to get it back."
Matthew, age ten
"Eco-anxiety is a rational response to a real threat." >>

* "Mental health seems to be having a bigger toll on people's ability to work...More than 8 million people rely on income support, driven by a growing number of mental health claims."
"With around 2 million more people now accessing payments than a decade ago, the surge is being driven by Australians whose physical and mental health has deteriorated to the point they can no longer work." >>

5 ways to design your way out of eco-anxiety
5 ways to design your way out of eco-anxiety
The podcast is out. It's available in several platforms but I share the link from Libsyn.
In this [Campfire Talk] we delve deep into a difficult, but necessary subject: climate grief. Our guest today is Elisabeth Dimitras, a neurodivergent queer soul activist and founder of the online antispeciesist website Ethos & Empathy. Elisabeth is from Greece, but had to move to Sweden due to climate change. She'll tell us about her dreams, the story of her loss, what she learned about the mourning the living, both human and non-human, and about climate grief. In the [Offering], Elisabeth will read us The Shambhala Warrior Prophecy as told by Johanna Macy.
Attention: The episode can be a bit emotionally heavy at times. There is a mention of suicide in the last half.

Excellent upcoming free webinar related to ecological grief.
@Amgine It is interesting to see how people can be mistaken about climate change action.
We know that climate change is mainly a question of power from an elite how decides to make money knowing that the poorest will pay the consequences. Carbon emissions grow as capitalism does.
Climate change is a political decision.
This is overwhelming and the oppression over citizens is very heavy.
Stress over young generations is acting almost invisibly and mental disorder like depression is one of the consequences.
Surprisingly some NGO’s and environmental association decide not to fight politically. They prefer to plant trees that we knows don’t have the power to reverse carbon emissions, or worse, they call for joining local beach cleanups, forgetting that the litter on a beach has nothing to do with climate change.
Doing so they are not helping the anxiety due to climate change… they make it worse.
Of course the social action is positive, but the real problem is still here, not attended.
Climate change anxiety is better treated when we see it as grieving. What is lost is lost for ever. What is extinct won’t flourish again.
Sadness, rage and rebellion, acceptance are steps on the healing path.
It is important not to be part of the greenwashing if we don’t want this young generation to feel more betrayed.

Curriculum Reform, Climate Literacy & Safeguarding: Decolonising What We Teach (and Why) in Light of the DfE Review
The Department for Education's Curriculum and Assessment Review outlines potential educational reforms by 2028. While improvements are noted, significant gaps remain in curriculum time and assessment for climate education. Action steps for school leaders to mitigate shortfalls include embedding climate education into policies, assessing decolonial practices, and enhancing teacher training.

Excerpt from "Tragic Details About #ModestMouse" from 2023...
#IsaacBrock suffers from #EcoAnxiety
"Isaac Brock has long been vehemently opposed to #urbanization and the #DestructionOfNature, and these have remained central lyrical themes going back to the band's earliest material (per Paste Magazine). As Healthline notes, such feelings of frustration towards environmentally destructive practices, anger at the seeming inevitability of #ClimateChange, and fear for the Earth's future are called eco-anxiety –- and Brock has been suffering from it for years.
"In Pitchfork's 2012 '#LonesomeCrowdedWest' documentary, he described living in Washington State in the '90s as having a 'front-row seat to watching #forests disappearing and #UrbanSprawl begin,' lamenting the constant clearing of natural places to make way for #StripMalls. In fact, he was still thinking about it in 2021 when he told Uproxx that his childhood home regularly flooded due to forest #clearcutting.
"Many Modest Mouse songs center on shameless human destruction, with the 2015 hit '#LampshadesOnFire' -– in which Brock sings about mankind going to space to find a new planet after destroying Earth -– serving as a notable example. But in recent years, he's making an effort to focus on the positive, as evidenced by hopeful songs like 'The Sun Hasn't Left,' in which he sings, 'You're not wrong, things are a mess but there's still something left.' 'I found optimism where it actually existed because I needed it,' he told NME in 2021, adding, 'Y'know, I got three kids ... I don't think s***'s gonna get easier for everyone.' "

Caring for the planet also boosts your well-being: "We know empirically that being in safe and beautiful natural settings is really good for our physical and mental health."

🌿 I’ve just launched a new Substack: Terracosmos — a space for collective regeneration through deep ecology, reconnection, and grief.
It began with a moment of belonging under the stars on La Palma.
This is for those feeling eco-anxiety, grief, wonder, or the ache to reconnect with the Living world.

I’ve had this theory for a long time: the main export of capitalism seems to be pollution and environmental toxins. Every time I read or see something about this, I get uneasy shivers. Just look at the mercury levels in tuna-an everyday example of how profit-driven production impacts our environment and health.

(Eco)Anxiety in Nuclear Holocaust Fiction and Climate Fiction: Doomsday Clock Narratives by Dominika Oramus, 2023
Disaster fiction, nuclear holocaust, and climate change alike allows us to unearth and anatomise contemporary psychodynamics and enables us to identify pretraumatic stress as the common denominator of seemingly unrelated types of texts.

@largess "The despair you feel because of the dying of the ash trees and the lessening of birdsong, the dwindling number of insects, these are the signs of your capacity to love the world. Do not deny that love. Let it be the fire that drives you to act, not the burden that crushes you. Yes, we face a calamitous future, but does that not make our efforts, however small, even more necessary?"
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
