@robpertray @UpstreamPodcast @cushbomb "The demand to work less does not mean or imply the right to rest more, but the right to live more."

[Beyond Return Collective // DMs open @BeyondReturnOrg]

The end of work =/= no need for "effort, the desire for activity, the pleasure of creation, the need to cooperate with others and be of some use to the community. [it] means the .. suppression of the need to purchase the right to live by alienating our time and our lives."

Assembling the Beyond Family research group starting with the book "Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family" by @reproutopia

[Beyond Return Collective // DMs open @BeyondReturnOrg]

@reproutopia “Family abolition as the proliferation of relationships of care, not a destruction of the relationships that we already have. Abolition as the building and trancendance of the world that we already have to create all the kinds of love, care and solidarity that we deserve.”

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

People believe we need growth because they start from the assumption of scarcity. But there is no scarcity. There is inequality.

Amazing news!

🚨🚨🚨VICTORY IN CALIFORNIA! #AB2342 has passed the Assembly Public Safety committee.

82% of the country supports monthly relief checks.

Eighty. Two. Percent.

We need to stop making excuses and get money into people's pockets every month.

I have a bill to do just that! https://t.co/qyprikjfQi

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Germany is opening new coal plants. Australia is pushing a "gas-led recovery." China's emissions are back up to pre-Covid levels. India is opening up elephant reserves to coal mining. Trump is enacting the fossil fuel dreamscape. This "recovery" is suicide. We have to stop it.
