Richard Adrian Reese - Wild, Free, and Happy

Richard Adrian Reese

This LIFE-CENTERED (not human-centered) "post-doom" playlist is collapse-aware and offers emotional and spiritual nourishment to those who see what's coming and choose to honor their grief through heartful witness and investing in what is regenerative and pro-future. These diverse thought leaders remind us that, as things contract, NOW is a perfect time to (A) stand with young people in their fight for intergenerational justice, (B) prepare with family, friends, and neighbors for increasingly difficult times, (C) cultivate awareness and deep feeling for the sacredness of life, impermanence, and death, and (D) engage in non-violent direct action not because we are confident that we will be as effective as we hope, but because we want to look ourselves in the mirror (and look young people in the eye) and feel we've done our part to nudge things in a pro-future direction with as much humility, grace, love, and generosity of soul as we were capable.

RIP Homo colossus

Techno-insanity and clueless eco-modernism

Looking for some assurance in troubled times? Marjory Wildcraft returns with her new book “The Grow system - The Essential Guide to Modern Self-Sufficient Living, from Growing Food to Making Medicine”.

Permafrost Thaw = Climate Disaster?  Maybe.

Scientists warn about previous gross underestimates of just how many people will be flooded out. It could be hundreds of millions.

Michael Dowd died October 2023. This soundcloud list is a substantial part of his legacy. Here he shares, via his voice, the major books, blogs, and other texts that instructed his own worldview shift into recognizing the multiple causes of the civilizational collapse underway and wisdom for moving into a postdoom perspective of clarity, calm, and compassionate love-in-action. As a Postdoom pastor, Michael aimed to support others in deeply adapting to abrupt climate change and societal and ecological breakdowns.
