We know climate change kills people, pollutes our skys and oceans constantly yet we don't have anywhere near all the answers that would together End Fossil Fuels and thus the pollution that makes the climate change. Will 2030 be the peak oil year, diminishing use afterwards? In a NYT podcast, [...]
It's a time of nostalgia, of joy even, when people get together to watch things blow up. What's it to you? People are stirred to write, stirred to get up and get a beverage (mine is chai tea today, thank you.) Stirred to set history straight?Yea, I know our glorious [...]
We did it! proclaims the banner atop the Facebook posting of Sonoma County Tenants Union. After a hard-fought battle, the Union won a Just Cause protection ordinance so that 20,000+ tenants are proteccted from being evicted withouot cause. Tenants United Will Never Be Divided! Petaluma City Council once again [...]
The Bioneers Conference, podcasts, books and global community has always meant connection with nature to me: "Revolution from the Heart of Nature" as they say - but it's much more and it's wisdom and global community has never been more needed. Moving towards a Just Transition is heavy work! And [...]
Bioneers conferences, now 34 years young, are rich food for the mind, heart and senses. We just went to the 4/8/23 Bioneers first time on Berkeley campus, which I love. Great combo, Bioneers, smart college kids, and now a partnership with Othering and Belonging Institute, creation of the inspiring, kind [...]
Breakthrough Solutions for People and Planet they offer. Yea, say I! For 2023, the Bioneers world will live on Berkeley campus TODAY, Thurs. 4/6 through Sun. 4/9. Since Berkeley is one of my homes - seen as the philosophical capital of the world by me in my 20's, [...]

Has that antiquish artsy flow to it; interesting chandelair-like lighting, HIGH ceiling with ivy, photos of famous musicians and actors all around. We liked it immediately. A home [...]

Dear V.I.P. Voters! At least I HOPE you will help turn the tide toward a rational, caring culture and away from madness (?) well, terribly unpleasant leaning toward racism, fascism, other isms I don't even want to think about. What do you call it when you're against rule by AI? [...]
So our go-to climate agitator (toward a healthy planet!), Bill McKibben, posted to my new favorite app, Substack: The Global Banker Who is Not Sure the Globe is Warming: As he wrote: "The easiest reason to explain why he’s (David Malpass, CEO, World Bank) got to go is that he’s [...]
Whatever you would do or dream you would do, begin! said Goethe and we’re still trying to figure that out! Great films and books are essential for an active 21st Century mind, but great friends and pets are way better for walks. Take lots of walks, I say, and get thee to the countryside right outside Petaluma…so, so pretty…And then actually helping others out is what makes you grounded, being part of the local/global tribe of your choice. They still need members, you know.
