Just had to block 2 accounts. One named Epstein & one named The Islander. Weird or ?. 👀. A like might equal a block. A follow might be met with a block. I'm not playing this game w/ child sex predators who are addicted to eating babies. Fuck Off. 🖕🖕🖕😃 #ThisIsOurWorld

Maybe more importantly, this story illustrates ideas which might be worth testing in the real world for a real future.

Because it’s

imperfect,

chaotically
diverse,

incredibly

THE BENEFITS OF EMPOWERMENT

‘The world would be richer and more advanced if we as humans had focused on asking which talents everyone has and not which colour.’

Since the additional material is extensive, covering the role of stories, communication, community, city planning, taxes, media & more, I’ll probably use the whole week to interweave these issues & also connect them to prior campaigns.

‘If you dare think about it, it really is clever marketing that shaped our present way of life. That means, it was never logical, rational or for the human wellbeing.

BREAKFAST

What is a breakfast but a beginning?

planet 35 //7 Breakfast It was a group of artists who said (without mentioning any of our ongoing wars) that they intended to build the longest breakfast table ever, one which would wind through every country, across every ocean, desert and mountain range without breaking, one that would be built with the help of local artists and craftspeople along the way, and then we would all eat together. And we did. All at the same time, all at the same table, each of us bringing food, breakfast food (regardless of the time of the day or night) – and we made peace. What is a breakfast but a beginning? What is a breakfast but the sharing of a meal? What is a breakfast but a time to look ahead and make plans for the day, together?

We have normalised that someone else is in charge of taking action.

We need to make our fate our business, and that globally and together.

ENDING THE WAR AGAINST OURSELVES

‘Not putting our wellbeing and the restoration of our planet front and centre of all our considerations is nothing short of a full-frontal attack on ourselves.’

#resist #body #photography #climate #OurFutureDay7 #ThisIsOurWorld #moss #lichen
BOARD But despite the uproar, it seemed as if uncertainty was gaining momentum among journalists because: How many people can you call a traitor on a single day?‘The town project has a point,’ a reporter with an independent newspaper wrote. ‘It is time to END THE WAR AGAINST OURSELVES. Not putting our wellbeing and the restoration of our planet front and centre of all our considerations is nothing short of a full-frontal attack on ourselves. Tragically many of us seem unaware that we are at war with ourselves. Our narratives of competition, money hoarding and thumbing chests, and our justifications for depleting nature, all of this and more harms us, all of this goes against our best interests, all of this requires that we fight our most basic needs: air to breathe, food to eat, water to drink and such trifles like love, community, closeness, belonging, rest, reassurance, exchange, collaboration, connection with each other and with nature. The people who cry betrayal because our queen and several mayors have the courage to give their voice to a team who want to research what kind of systems, what kind of narratives, what kind of lives serve us, how we can find peace with ourselves, each other and nature — the people who cry betrayal because of something like that, they are at war with themselves. If they cared about themselves, they would care what this project might discover, and they would no longer act against their own interest.’ Moss & lichen

CAMPAIGNS FOR OUR FUTURE
will open a new chapter tomorrow.

Why?

Because our world is in a mess,
and it doesn’t have to be.

You are welcome to add your comments, artwork, ideas and discussions.

Our future is for us to shape

‘As deep as it takes to get to the roots of what made us shape a world which is blindly stumbling into self-destruction.’

‘We need to find the essence of what harms us and our natural world.’

#OurFuture #resist #climate #forests #forestfriends #future #theroad #WeThePeople #actnow #ThisIsOurWorld #trees #photography
we need to find the essence of what harms us and our natural world, and then we need to focus on removing and replacing everything that makes this harm possible. Over the last two campaign weeks, the Press Pause Campaign was all about: What is it that occupies us day and night? What is it that keeps us from thinking? What keeps us from healing? What keeps us from shaping a world that works? What are the things, thoughts and plans we can press pause on? What can we postpone in favour of finally dealing with the messes we as the people of this planet need to face? Plus, our team did a number of events on thinking and on how to focus.

HOW CAN IT BE DONE?

And how would I go about
- ending the use of crude oils
- pausing most animal farming
- restoring ecosystems?

In all cases, I would start with the following 🧵
