I have been hearing two forms of gentle criticism from some of my readers. One is: omigod, this is so depressing, can’t you write about something else??? The other is: okay, we get it, enough with the exhortations, start telling us WHAT TO DO about all this scary stuff you’re laying on us. I have [...]

Call to Action in Dark Times
This time of year in New England is cold and dark: short days and long, starry nights. As the planet wheels towards the winter solstice, human beings, for thousands of years, have huddled around fires and turned to storytelling as a bridge back to warmth and the coming of springtime. It’s no different now, except [...]

What do Derrick Jensen and George Washington Have in Common?
Derrick Jensen was speaking to the Occupy Oakland and San Francisco folks today, and I had hoped to catch the livestream, but ended up missing it. I did find, however, a video from about a month ago, when Jensen spoke to Occupy DC via Skype. True to form, Jensen told the crowd that when people [...]

Our planet, ourselves: we must wake up to the destruction, before it’s too late
First the honey bee population crashed. Then it was the bats, dying by the millions in their caves during the winter hibernation, of a strange white fungal infection.

Resisting the Zombies: At what point will we stop bearing witness to ecocide and begin to act?
My favorite chapter in Derrick Jensen’s new book Dreams is entitled “Zombies.” Jensen describes the corporate elite as zombies, that is, as “flesh-eating…mindless monsters who are not only to be feared for their insatiability and ferocity, but because their sickness is highly contagious….Zombies eat human flesh, but they are also as relentlessly omnicidal as corporations.

SlutWalk, Occupy Wall Street and other sparks of resistance: let’s fan the flames!
Finally this morning The NYTimes.com is paying some attention to the Occupy Wall Street protests. But the tone is still highbrow and dismissive–Charles Blow, who really should know better, labels the protesters “hippies and hipsters” and the movement overall as “a spark set down on wet grass,” with “no where to go.” He also finds [...]
