I facilitated a meeting of the ACT Greens members tonight. Three reasons it was really nice:
1. It was at my local library. We love our libraries!

2. There was a presentation on better internet safety, prepared by Gary and @MarkDeasy which included switching to Mastodon.

3. There was a presentation on social cohesion and what helps strengthen it by an ANU demographer, which was really interesting for anyone who wants a more peaceful, equal, happy community.

Superman is streaming now & it's everything folks say...even hubby is like "This is about the US" (the militarization, the broligarch, the death cult destroying everything).

Yes, yes it is.

And so are the touching scenes with supe's parents.

That's us (US) too.

Be better, America.

Anybody have good recommendations for stories that depict Earth and human civilization post peak population? Not due to a catastrophe, just a peaceful demographic slide to <1 billion people, because we had fewer kids. A surplus of aging infrastructure, & nature filling in the gaps. Seems like it would be a good candidate for the "cozy" sci-fi genre @molly0xfff talked about recently.

No titles, but you can search solarpunk and hopepunk genres. Also, @susankayequinn may have something and/or know something.

If you don't find it, some of us might write it!

"the greatest lie they sold us is that nothing we do matters. but history is made of small acts stacking up until they tip the scales. every revolution, every movement, every change started with ordinary people refusing to accept
injustice. when it feels overwhelming, shrink the problem. plant a tree, protect a creek, help a neighbor. small things, together, become unstoppable."
