We should consider that we are past fixing our global system. For true systemic equality, we may need to burn it to the ground and allow for regrowth.

(Excuse the binary/patriarchal language. It’s a direct quote.)

Quote from the book Silo by Hugh Howey that reads: “his discovery was that evil men arose from evil systems, and that any man had the potential to be perverted. Which was why some systems needed to come to an end.” There’s a dystopian landscape in the background with a distant city.

Trust, grief, and the courage to let go…Capitalism is unraveling—so what comes next?

Read Emilia Zenzile Roig’s powerful take on why we don’t need a blueprint for the future to step into it: https://medium.com/postgrowth/heres-what-s-coming-after-capitalism-54ff7c7fccc5?source=friends_link&sk=d3aee971a3f505f709a97c7c0f80b480

Sat in the sun in the garden trying to workout how the #hitpointpress #rpg #shift works again before our next game!

A printout of the quick start rules of Shift, a new RPG by Hit Point Press. The printout is on a page titled 'encounters' and is on the knee of someone sat in a sunny, messy garden

Selective morality
so in vogue
with us rambunctious
foam at the mouth zealots
weighs heavily on the soul..

This modern affliction
causes my stiff neck
these contentious days
to be perpetually in pain
from always
looking the other way
from the high volume sins
of our very flawed leadership..

Handicapping me to such an extent
I have to #shift my body
to see the train of reality
speeding down the tracks
to squash gullible me
and the proper discernment I lack..

When you read my brief obituary
the blurb that sums me up will say..

Death by lame rationalizations

So much remains the same,
Yet, everything has changed —
Shadows break away
From shifting light.

I had assumed this was lead-up to something in Silo 18, but no, this Third Shift chunk of the second Silo book is about another Jimmy we met in Silo 17.

“Whatever you do,” he said, “do not open that door for anyone but me or your mother. Understand?”

“I understand.” Jimmy clutched his arm and tried to be brave.

As the shift intensifies and former millennia-held certainties are revealed to be far from concrete and the shackles of dogma are broken, more and more the world shall need its seers and skalds, its priestesses and poets.

This is the moment for which you were called.
