Communities have changed how resistance is conducted
— away from the myth of the solitary activist hero
and toward
shared capacity.
As Grace Lee Boggs taught us,
“Movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.”
Political exhaustion took on new meaning.
It was no longer treated as a personal struggle, but as shared terrain
— produced by oppressive systems and requiring collective response.
The question shifted from…

Anti-ICE Organizing Is Creating Counter-Institutions Based on Care
Rapid-response networks and mutual aid are not charity. They’re shared infrastructure for collective care and survival.

Ammonite survival across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary confirmed by new data from Denmark - Scientific Reports
We provide a reassessment of the hypothesis of ammonite survival across the Cretaceous–Paleogene (Maastrichtian–Danian) boundary, based on new data from the lower Danian Cerithium Limestone Member at Stevns Klint, eastern Denmark. The occurrence of this unit in disjunct basins between eroded crests of uppermost Maastrichtian bryozoan mounds prompts a reconsideration of ammonite redeposition as an alternative to the survival hypothesis. We describe new ammonite specimens from the Cerithium L…

Climate justice took center stage at Pre-COP30 as African and Global South advocates made their case clear: adaptation finance isn't charity—it's survival.
CSOs pushed for locally-rooted indicators in the Global Goal on Adaptation, fair compensation for communities displaced by green projects, and recognition of food sovereignty in climate policy.

➡️ Isn't it about time people start paying a little more attention to George Monbiot?
He is on the side of 🌱 survival, and if we don't start paying attention to his analysis of our time now, future historians (if our civilisation survives at all) will wonder why he was not listened to more.
As voters, we must hurry and elect as many people as possible who think like Monbiot, or
👋🏼 goodbye democracy, goodbye environment.

The Planet Crafter is currently on sale on #Steam for about $12 and I've already put 13 hours into it and it's a *fantastic* survival crafter where you terraform an entire planet from Mars-like conditions all the way to Earth-like
I'm probably 10%? of the way into the content so far and it's still super engaging. Watching the atmosphere change color, clouds and rainfall appear, seeing life start to spread - it's so so rewarding
Plays well on CrossOver on macOS, *but* whatever they did for mouse logic on the game makes it fail to register clicks in CrossOver. Fortunately gaming controller support is present and excellent, so I've been using that.

MIT study shows high-fat diets give liver cancer a dangerous head start
A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty foods can push liver cells into a survival mode that quietly raises the risk of cancer. Faced with ongoing metabolic stress, these cells abandon their normal roles and revert to a more primitive state that helps them endure harsh conditions. Over time, that shift leaves the liver less functional and far more vulnerable to tumor formation, helping explain why fatty liver disea…
