"The climate crisis reveals that our civilization has never really been organized around science, contrary to the usual Enlightenment narrative. It is organized around capital. Science is embraced when it serves the interests of capital, and is often ignored when it does not." ― Jason Hickel Image of a Pacific Northwest winter sky, grey and overcast, looking through bare tree branches across a wet field to the edge of an evergreen forest.

“In the real world there is no nature vs. nurture argument, only an infinitely complex and moment-by-moment interaction between genetic and environmental effects.” quote from Gabor Maté - image of an evening winter landscape, Douglas firs and cedar trees festooned with snow drenched in blue crepuscular light. @lifeboatacademy

“This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men—go freely with powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and with the mothers of families—re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.” —Walt Whitman (Preface to Leaves of Grass)

“Imagination may be the most essential, uniquely human capacity – creating both the dead-end crises of our time and the doorway through them.” — Bill Plotkin. Background is a moss-covered fallen tree with dry leaves covering it in a deep forest, photo taken in a dramatic perspective - width of the trunk at the bottom of the image tapering dramatically to a point at the top of the image.

“We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness. In this exquisitely connected world, it’s never a question of ‘critical mass.’ It’s always about critical connections.” — Grace Lee Boggs Image of the cut face of an old stump, grey with age and weathering. Growing out of the stump is a turkey tail mushroom and a few bits of fresh green mosses. @lifeboatacademy

We create as we speak because words make worlds within us. If you doubt this, try saying the word “waterfall.” What do you see, hear, smell, taste, experience? How do you feel? Now try on the word “supermarket,” or worse, “traffic.” What do you see, hear, and feel now? A single word is powerful enough to create an entire sensory experience in someone who hears, reads, or thinks it. If you were in a laboratory with electrodes attached to your head, a neuroscientist could track your brain’s response. If a single word can do that much, think of the possibilities of a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a page—or a sequence of pages! ― Leslie Davenport Image of a sky peppered with clouds of different colours. Likely a sky at dusk or dawn.

“Meaning emerges from engagement with the world, not from abstract contemplation of it.” — Iain McGilchrist Image of a misty PNW winter sky with the hazy sun on the horizon with the faint outlines of evergreens on the horizon and rows of orchard saplings in the foreground. @lifeboatacademy

They’re here. They’re queer. They’re farming. New generation of LGBTQ farmers more visible and vocal.
Chicago-area farmers were directly affected by the Trump administration’s attempt to freeze funding for a small farm assistance program.
