The Trump Administration Barrels Forward with Plans to Drill on Protected, Sacred Land

The feds want access to more than 330,000 acres of public land surrounding Greater Chaco Canyon.

This could harm wildlife, cause air and light pollution, and desecrate ancient cultural sites that are still significant to Tribal Nations today.

Earlier this year, more than 100,000 people spoke up to protect Chaco Canyon.

The Bureau of Land Management is ignoring the voices of the people and seeks to strip away the protected status to drill for oil and gas.

Tell the Bureau of Land Management: Keep Greater Chaco Canyon protected from new drilling.

Tell the Bureau of Land Management: Maintain protections for Chaco Canyon

Chaco Canyon is an irreplaceable cultural landscape, home to thousands of archaeological sites, important wildlife habitat and internationa

My thoughts on the ‘Solarpunk is just aesthetics! Y’all can’t do anything!’ Statement

Every movement has some kind of visual identity. Every. Single. One. Now, those identities often evolve after the politics, but that’s not a rule.

Solarpunk was created as a way to directly oppose the grim, late stage capitalistic future we’ve been sold my cyberpunk for decades.

People saw this aesthetic and were able to look within it to see real change and action that could be made to get there.

Aesthetics give people something to identify with. But more importantly in this instance, they give us a collective vision to move towards.

Yes Solarpunk was an aesthetic, but no one said it ever had to stay that way. It is simultaneously our foundation and what we’re striving for.

So go take your stolen yogurt ad and fuck some shit up <3

Listening to the Cedars

The air quality in Madison was in the moderate range today. Most of us were breathing easily for the moment. Questions remain about whether the levels will be up again tomorrow, but in my mind there are bigger questions. Questions that I asked myself a few days ago as I looked out over Lake Mendota and couldn’t see across the lake. It was nothing, but a smoke screen. All that had been there had…

So I’m very curious about this and I have been for a while, for those deeply invested in Solarpunk, what are/did/will you major in? Alternatively, if you didn’t go to college (fucking valid this shit is way too expensive), what field do you work in?

I’m planning on majoring in some type of Community/Regional/Urban planning or design with a focus on social justice and the environment.

People living without food, water, shelter, and healthcare are a failure of the human race.

WE failed them. WE’RE the reason they’re there in the first place.

And I don’t want to hear any bullshit about them not working hard enough.

YOU don’t know their story. YOU don’t live their life. YOU don’t know what they’re capable of achieving given proper resources.

You have absolutely zero right to push them out of cities, out of your view, out of your mind. No right to pass laws to criminalize homelessness.

We can provide basic necessities to everyone on this planet. We’re more than capable.

I shouldn’t have to tell you to imagine it’s your parent, child, cousin, or significant other to get you to feel some sort of empathy for these people.

I shouldn’t have to tell you that they are someone’s child for you to feel empathy for them.

You just should. It’s not rocket science. It’s not some mysterious formula.

Isolation has made you immune to human emotion and it’s sick.

Please donate to your local homeless shelters and vote for candidates with solid plans to help the homeless in your town/city/state.
