"It's like a web there is no escape from
It's got you trapped, and you long for freedom
Every wish, every dream was granted
Never knowing what they demanded
You see the wall, how it's getting higher
You want to fight, but you're all divided
It's not a world anyone can thrive in
Is this the world we were meant to grow in?
Somebody tell me, where are we going?
A brave new world will rise
If we do not act upon its lies
Hold your tongues no more
Learn from all the ones who came before
Catch the wind and fight the storm
Through the fury, we're holding on
Take your time, but not too long
Make it worth the time you own
You woke a fire inside of me
Fanned the flame and made it breathe
You woke a fire inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me"

my heart became a hovel

Understanding the aesthetics of oligarchy can help us to see where their power comes from and maybe even do something about it....

#Republicans continue to support #tariffs and #tax on benefits with zero evidence their methods will produce any positive effects.
In fact, the evidence pointing to historical errors are profound.
All this hope based on nothing is awesome. I only wish Democrats had half as much hope to invest US national security on. #Biden and #Obama handed Trump a stable economy and Republicans are hell bent on economic destruction.

Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@xtinadr@wandering.shop). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.
Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.
You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.
As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

"You can always find hope for the future by carefully examining the opportunities it is always showing you. (Just remember to always keep looking!)" - Futurist Jim Carroll
The most popular post on my Website has to do with the 'growth of knowledge.', from my 2023 trends series.
In it, I lay out the basic statistics and observations having to do with that trend - but also outline what it means. In simple terms:
"It used to be about what you know. Now it’s not only about what you know, but how fast you need to know it!"
I also make note of this observation:
"The volume of medical knowledge was doubling every 8 years before Covid; it’s now doubling every 78 days."
Fast forward - things are moving even faster still. No one in any career knows everything they need to know - our ability to get the right knowledge at the right time - what I call just-in-time knowledge - is one of the most important career skills need to continually develop and enhance.
With that thought in mind, I was taking a look at the current widespread destruction of the future all around us - science shutting down, valuable research programs being decimated, and careers and jobs being destroyed with reckless abandonment. There is a chainsaw being taken to the future, and its destructive damage is yet to be determined. In the context of such a crazy world, how do those of us who want to ensure we have hope for tomorrow continue to sustain that hope, feed it, and nurture it? By keeping an eye on the good things that are out there and that might somehow survive!
This brings me to how I am using my relentless study of the trends of tomorrow to sustain my hope for tomorrow, albeit while doing so in the era of the information flood. To do that, I'm turning to, of course, AI. Here's a good example: for years, I've subscribed to many different trend newsletters, each of which is carefully filtered and goes into a folder in my email account. I try to get to them when I can, but I often fall behind. One I track is Ground Truths by Eric Topol - it's a great, fairly regular update on important trends in healthcare science.
Searching for some hope for the future of medicine and healthcare the other day, I took a look and realized I had 194 long messages from him about these issues- far too many to read! Google Notebook LLM to the rescue! I took them all, worked them into a PDF, and 'fed it to the machine.,' With a few iterations, I got back the summary below - a nice, tidy, short, and concise overview of some of the key trends he has been talking about, and why this matters for our future.
Far easier to digest, scan, and read - and provide me a short, sharp shock of hope!
This brings me back to the main point of today's post - in the face of volatile turmoil, we need to feed and further our hope for the future.
How we do this doesn't matter - the mechanics are quite irreverent, but use the tools if you can. I am!
You can always find hope for the future by carefully examining the opportunities it is always showing you.
You just need to remember to always keep looking!

Since Christmas I have felt as though writing about music is so very inconsequential. But watching folks on both sides of the border begin to stand up for themselves has inspired me. Let this great song by Canadian singer Hawksley Workman...and the story behind it...inspire all of you.

Once again, the incredible Jessica Craven has a a great explainer video on the small ways all Americans can fight back against #fascism. STEP 1: Call your representatives 1-3 times a week and just tell them what’s bothering you. It works! STEP 2: Attend a #tesla takedown protest. It’s working! STEP 3: Be careful how you spend your money—make big businesses regret supporting #trump and his #fascist regime! #amerikkka #fuckfascism #hope #freedom #democracy #resist

When the night
Has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
that with the sun's love
On the spring becomes the road
