Stop talking and start acting - please. If they say you can't then you have to. This is my act... www.communitygreenfields.org

One of my all time favorite artists.

You are voting, correct? #caturday

Oh, the things that randomly show up on our white board when my youngest daughter's friends drop by.

I have never missed stopping for a hot dog over many years.

Fossil fuel companies have been using the tobacco industry art of sowing doubt for decades now. "Doubt is our product"

God grant me patience... but please hurry.

They are all just fricken crooks.

"Yeah? Wadda ya gonna do 'bout it?" DJT

These days I find myself apologizing to a fly before swatting it. It's becoming clear to me that there is inter-life and we all are a part of its fabric. Different color patterns, different stitches, but one cloth.

"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: Now is the time for monsters." - Antonio Gramsci We are in liminality.

I was camping out at 10,000 feet in the middle of nowhere in Southern Colorado. I had forgotten how absolutely glorious the sky is in the dead of night. We are but a thread on the fabric of life.

And AI companionship. It is only an imitation of presence. It has no sentience. There really is nobody there. You are alone.

Our newborn granddaughter is the size of a zucchini.

AI can't be a substitute for human communication and creativity. It is only an imitation of presence. There really is nobody there. You are alone.

Textbook example of psychopathy.

The kids are alright.

I have a BA in sociology and an MS in Civil Engineering. That may seem odd but it's surprising how much those 2 disciplines interact with each other. After all, civil engineering is just the physical representation of our culture.

There are no bounds of shame for those who withhold food from hungry children as leverage for political purpose. It is our civil duty to strip them of their power to cast such cruelty on our culture.

I asked my book club what each of their paths are through the Long Repair: - Food self reliance - Local civil leadership - Education for the future - Endurance skills for youth - Political stewardship - Regenerative and rewilding - Neighborhood resilience Powerful actions going forward.

AI... Mining, extracting, processing, packaging, and selling human knowledge. Same game plan as earths' natural resources. All to blindly feed and grow the economic superorganism, regardless of the fact that it's killing the host we draw life from. Evolution cancer.

Total annual U.S. transactions is $6.2 QUADRILLION. Automatically pulling 0.5% from every transaction equals $30 trillion per year. Pays for everything including this debt and no more income tax. Flow Tax.

Just drove thru south central Colorado rockies. Blue Mesa Reservoir dam shows water level 100 feet down from normal shoreline. Paonia Reservoir is empty. Ouch.

Scale vs. Community. As global scale breaks down, community will be our refuge.

Government laws are written by WAY to many lawyers. Reading them immediately causes a glaze over effect. It gives them lots of room for all sorts of obfuscation, manipulation, and skullduggery.

In this episode, Nate is joined by Jeff Currie for a wide-boundary look at what happens when the buffers that have suppressed energy price signals for fifty years finally run dry.

The cost of retribution is nothing compared to the cost of capitulation

We are so focused on capital growth and the tools supporting it that we are blind to the fact that this path is destroying the very host we draw life from. "We have met the enemy and they is us" - Pogo Image from @natehagens.bsky.social "The Great Simplification"

"The future worth building will look like failure to a culture calibrated for growth" - Nate Hagens

Another Colorado 2 inch rain today A raindrop every 2 inches...

"The mediator between head and hands must be the heart" Epigram: Metropolis, the movie (1927)

Fossil fuels - drawing down the principle Renewables - living on the interest Can't be any simpler

Decisions decisions...

My wife sent this pic from the LA airport yesterday. Yes, it's a real dog.

Courtesy is always given Respect is earned Loyalty is bite me

If energy is the invisible labor force underlying every product and service in your life, does that change the way you see the economy?

May I suggest changing the label from democratic socialist to Civil Steward. Not party affiliated but personal, cultural, and environmental stewardship for all. A Civilution.

Tiger Wall along the Yampa River in Dinosaur National Park, Colorado.

If you can, go to the Disaster musical in Conifer this last weekend of their run. It's a real hoot! Plus, Conifer. Wow! @mymerehut.bsky.social

We are draining our non-replaceable global energy trust in 300 years that it took millions of years to fund.

Nature always regrounds me. A simple display of nature casting its beauty on my hike today. We forget sometimes to see how glorious our world really is.

Track chairs at Staunton State Park, Colo. For wheelchair bound people who want to enjoy the mountain trails. Free to use. Pretty darn cool.

You can't program sentience.

The desolation of foundational, life-supporting ecosystems has resulted in our planet now operating at roughly half its biological productive capacity.

Just a reminder that AI is not sentient.
