I'm not trying to yuck your yum, I'm just curious about what you like about it. 😊 I know it's a big subgenre of movies and books--body horror, gore, etc. I know the fans are out here and I'd like to hear it from an expert.

Mine is alienshe.

It’s one of my favorite songs from the punk band Bikini Kill but also I feel like an alien who was planted on this hell called earth. 👽🛸👾

Hi fellow Boundlings!

I hope everyone who is experiencing droughts or other extreme events right now is safe and has a cool place to be! Due to being in the midst of a historical drought in Europe, I've recently been trying to find small and big ways of action that help me feel less despairing and give me a sense of hope.

One of the resources that has helped me a lot, was the book 🔗Braiding Sweetgrass. A fellow PB user also made me aware, that the book's author Robin Wall Kimmerer has also started a grass-roots movement called 🔗Plant Baby Plant that "invites us to reimagine our shared future through acts of care for the living world". Both this movement as well as the book have helped me find hope in small acts such as using our garden's produce as best as possible or supporting NGO campaigns.

I would love for this thread to be a place where we can share resources about climate action, social justice action, maybe books that inspired you or gave you important tools, infos about local initiatives or whatever else gives you hope in times like these!

I'm sure that many of us might want to do something, but might not have the resources or energy to do so.

So I invite you to share your stories, ideas, and hopefully we can all learn a bit more and work towards tackling the climate crisis and all the connected issues that come with it.

Edit: P.S.: I collected all the books recommended in this thread in my shelf called "(Climate) Activism" ^^
