    The reason for creating @briefecology@climatejustice.social stems from the realization that virtually none of the ecological knowledge we’ve created through research and experience is actually used for society’s benefit. Our goal is to explore why that is, and to also collect the major strains of that knowledge in a cohesive, applicable way.

    Hey #fediverse - I’m thinking about adding a column to @briefecology@climatejustice.social on anti-consumerism. If you know of anyone writing in this space from a leftist perspective please drop recommendations

    Surveillance cameras are now the eyes of capitalism, feeding our every action into a silicon mind of forever hungry data centers and fueled by a gluttonous appetite for fossil energy, a face aflame with burning forests and boiling oceans. More horror than horror.

    Starting to think turning the internet into a hyper capitalist popularity contest might have been bad for society

    It’s Friday, a SpaceX rocket blew up, and Mitch McConnell is still dead. Not bad, all things considered

    An ecological society would innovate and advance technology for the purposes of improving lives and creating more leisure time, rather than making some billionaire a little richer.

    Unions are vehicles for delivering working class power. They don’t just produce material gains, but also provide space for member education and community building, on top of democratizing the workplace. If you’ve been thinking about joining or starting a union, you should do it.

    Can someone good at history tell me how often authoritarian regimes willingly and peacefully give up power? Just curious.

    Hey comrades, small request here. Healthcare workers at a local hospital here in Central PA are preparing to strike and could use a boost in financial support. If you are able to, please donate to their strike fund. If you can’t, please share his to spread the message. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mtnittanystrikefund #union #labor #solidarity #strike

    The labor movement cannot win without the environmental movement. The environmental movement cannot win without the labor movement. The people cannot win without realizing both are the same movement.

    It’s important to stay cool in this heat so I guess I’ll have to eat this ice cream for dinner. For safety.

    RE: https://ecoevo.social/@benlockwood/116853357614135977 And a big thanks to our readers! Brief Ecology’s popularity gives me immense hope that we can and will move towards a more ecological society

    I don’t care much about soccer but it’s pretty funny to see trump burn whatever shreds of his political capital remain only for the USMNT to get absolutely cooked

    I’m in full and total solidarity with healthcare workers at Mount Nittany, here in central PA, who are preparing to go on strike. These workers are vital and deserve everything they are demanding. This is how we win ✊ https://www.centredaily.com/news/local/community/article316406785.html

    We don’t need permission to start creating a more ecological society. We don’t have to wait for the right leaders to arise or for the perfect conditions to emerge. We can start building our collective power today, right now.

    Putting ecological knowledge in the hands of the people is a fundamental component of creating a more ecological society. That is how ecology will go from a science to a practice.

    Biodiversity is part of the planetary commons. It represents the ecological tapestry from which humanity arose and the conditions that allow our continued existence. It&#39;s because of this evolutionary context that biodiversity must be preserved, stewarded, and enhanced to the greatest degree possible, in order for society to flourish.

    I just realized that @briefecology@climatejustice.social is turning 3 years old this month, and maybe I’m a little biased but that feels like a better thing to celebrate than the embarrassment that is the US right now. I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done so far. And lots more to come. ✊🌎

    The useless loop of students using AI to write papers that professors use AI to grade is the ultimate endpoint of treating education as a product rather than a process.

    There is a growing recognition that nature has intrinsic rights. While this hinges on how society defines nature, it also confers on humanity a responsibility to act in the mutual interests of both ourselves and our environments. We are the only species that can even grant rights to others, or enforce them.
