Pluralistic: Demand destruction vs fuel-superseding infrastructure (04 May 2026)

Though even the update seems out of date now (2015), Solnit's grasp of the breadth of narratives outside of our vision & our obsessiveness with some despairing ones is a healthy and needed perspective.

🧵
> The idea that people will panic and trample each other in an emergency is largely untrue.. the World Trade Center towers during 9/11.. no one shoved or freaked; they helped one another.. get down the staircases and out of the way of the collapsing buildings. But the idea we will panic has been used as a justification for keeping the public in the dark--it's more or less the idea we're sheep and shepherds should make the decisions for us.

One small good thing this morning: The sun is out in Knoxville, and it’s showing brilliantly through the window behind my recliner. As a result the back of my neck is feeling a lot of warmth. I’m choosing to count this as a ray of hope. #HopeInTheDark

With »Future Screenshots«, @mushon translates the future cone method into a participatory workshop format: participants create possible futures on paper using screenshots, locate them between probable, desirable and avoidable scenarios and use them to jointly develop ideas and strategies for shaping the present!

@Scienceisnotopinions

oh no … what we see promoted by for-profit media is not “humanity”.
every now and then i dip into a book called #HopeInTheDark by #RebeccaSolnit just for some refreshing balance

Good morning!

'Your opponents would love you to believe that it’s hopeless, you have no power, there’s no reason to act, you can’t win. #Hope is a #gift you don’t have to surrender, a #power you don’t have to throw away.' ~ #RebeccaSolnit, forward to #HopeInTheDark

I talk a lot about hope, #encouragement, & #perseverance. 😄​ It matters. We all need to know we are not alone, that someone is cheering us on, & we can do big things, both alone & esp together. #KeepGoing 💪​

"This is an extraordinary time full of vital, transformative movements that could not be foreseen. It is also a nightmarish time. Full engagement requires the ability to perceive both." -Rebecca Solnit in a 2016 Guardian piece that still rings true, as does her book Hope in the Dark. Read A Paradise Built in Hell, too. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jul/15/rebecca-solnit-hope-in-the-dark-new-essay-embrace-unknown #hope #activism #protesr #RebeccaSolnit #ClimateCrisis #HumanRights #anticapitalism #capitalism #HopeInTheDark #AParadiseBuiltInHell

From Rebecca Solnit's FB post:

.> This is the kind of thing I have in mind when I scratch out the parts of the speaking contracts I'm handed that demand rights in all technologies now existing and yet to be invented and infinite varieties of ownership of whatever I say and do and my appearance, etc. I don't want to be digitally digested into whatever's useful for some profiteer. I signed a contract this spring where I basically scratched out everything in it and then signed it and no one blinked, because the cannibals who write this shit are not the people who hand it to you.

@tultican Basic needs, like health care, tax credits, loan forgiveness, clean water, transportation, local decision-making, equal rights, wealth distribution, etc.? It seems pretty crazy to not work here first, but we can't make headway without a social investment in the commons. And we can't get there if we don't have platforms that connect us all to each other. #education #socialpolicy #community #listening #commons #propaganda #hopeinthedark
