#socialchange — Public Fediverse posts

We’ve spent decades designing systems - institutions, platforms, cultures - that reward endurance over adaptation.

Then we are surprised when they crack under pressure.

Resilience is not about holding everything together by force. It is about building things that can adapt, respond, and repair.

Maybe the question isn’t how strong we are. It is how well what surrounds us is designed to hold us when we’re not.

Episode 5.7: Building Dual Power, with Andre Rosario [aka HydroponicTrash]

André Rosario (aka HydroponicTrash) joins us this week on the podcast to tell Ariel all about dual power - what it is, how it fits in with solarpunk, and how people can mobilize it in their daily lives. Their conversation ranges from the history of the term dual power, to examples from André’s own life, to the concept of mutual aid, the importance of imagining a better world, how to build relationships as an introvert, and even includes a discussion of human nature.
