This #EarthDay2024 I'd like to introduce you a friend of mine. World, please meet "Multisolving: Creating Systems Change in a Fractured World" which will look more like a book & less like a binder in a patch of daffodils when it's released by IslandPress in fall 2024!
Lab-grown meat is the ultimate ultra-processed food—and a path to greater corporate control of the food system.
On #EarthDay2024, I argue in @globeandmail for small, mixed farms—and against the eco-modernists who call farming "the greatest mistake in human history." 🧵

🌍La science est claire: une croissance économique infinie n'est pas possible sur une planète dont les ressources sont limitées. Cette obsession irréaliste de croissance économique a fait échoué les accords de Paris (1/9). @ScientistRebellion
#Celtic#MythologyMonday for #EarthDay2024: #Tailtiu gave her life to clearing ‘a great plain’. To Ali Isaac „it seems possible that the great plain referred to signifies the landscape; Tailtiu came from the great plain and spent her life serving it, and returned to it after death. She is a daughter of the landscape. In other words, not a harvest goddess, but an earth goddess. She shaped the land just as the #Cailleach did."

#MythologyMonday for #EarthDay2024: When the Milesian invaders were met by three goddesses or queens of the Tuatha Dé Danann, each of whom announced herself as ruler of the land. Second was Fódla, who met the invaders at Slieve Felim, a mountain in Co. Limerick, or on nearby Mauher Slieve. Like her sister Banba before, she promised the Milesians happiness and wealth so long as the land bore her name. Fódla’s name means “unplowed land”.

#MythologyMonday for #EarthDay2024: The green island at the far western periphery of Europe bears the name of its earth goddess, #Ériu. Because Ériu promised greater prosperity than did her sisters, the chief bard of the Milesians, Amairgin, decided to call the island after Ériu. It was at the sacred central mountain, #Uisneach, that Ériu greeted the invaders. One, Donn mac Míled, replied to her demands with insults, and Ériu calmly sentenced him to death; he drowned shortly thereafter, indicating that Ériu had control over the seas as well as the land.
