If your session headshot is any indication, seems like you might serve the wiliness (-‘weil-iness?) our movements will need for the max number of us to survive. Hope it’s great - envious of all attending ! ✌🏻

135 species! Congratulations on a banner journey! Thank you for sharing your photography and keen eye gifts. Safe travels home, Peter.

What a perfectly wonderful project ! Hell yeah! L and I have a weird concrete spot between our mailboxes that’d be awesome for shelves of *something* to share. Can’t land on what’d survive the 175°+ street heat other than rocks. Plz post pics of your stand project. Love you so much.

I spose the only meaningful extra prepper shit beyond enough water n beans for us n neighbors: deep AND broad human connection, strategic courageous action, learning from global horror regimes (the US created conditions for!), and learning to cope w new fear level.
What’s your prep, y’all? (6/6)

National scale, neck breaking high speed, stochastic, fearmongering, tattered social safety net destruction. We might’ve survived corruption and experienced horrible state repression w our people before, but shit’s next level. (5/?)

Allllll these disasters I’ve community prepped for, joyfully even!, even when scary to think about, are singular big boom kinda events with long fallout. I realized these political conditions rn for many of us in our own lifetimes are totally new. (4/?)

Feeling… unfocused lately. Still doing lots but. Started having anxiety nightmares about bad men. Lots of them, many nights. Probably random, right? 🫠 Been asking myself (antagonistically), “bench if you’re so grown up about bad shit happening, why can’t you get a grip with this new regime?” (3/?)

Familiar w showing up well in emergencies; collective care; making meaning of suffering; etc. Over these 20 years of repeated disasters, the only thing that keeps me internally organized (like, emotionally) is prep and community organizing. (2/?)

This is just a very hard space to be in right now. So much bad is happening and my DMs are filled with story tips that would have made national news 3 years ago that aren’t even blips right now because of bigger, worse stories.
