If you take one thing away from my blog, let it be this: The only solution to the crisis in which we find ourselves is solidarity. Stand together, organize, and fight for a better world.

This blog is about climate change, and how to build a better world for everyone despite the rising temperature.

As a consequence, this blog is about a lot of things. Climate change is the core, but it is not possible to "solve" that problem, or even to prepare for the coming storm, under the current political and economic arrangement. The dogma of exploitation, selfishness, and endless growth has become a death cult, hurtling towards civilizational collapse out of blind faith that might not only makes right, but also serves as a holistic demonstration of merit.

In short, we need change of a revolutionary scale in order to meet a crisis unlike anything our civilization has faced, and this blog is about that.

I post on Fridays, and upload an early draft of each week's article for my paying patrons at patreon.com/oceanoxia. If you like my work, please share it. If you like it and can spare the money, consider signing up to help me make ends meet. If you're able to contribute $15 per month, you get a cool raven drawing as a perk!

My background is in ecology and science education. I've caught snakes, turtles, and iguanas for study, I've led workshops and presentations on climate change, and I've written lessons and lesson plans for general climate science education, including getting students involved in actual scientific data collection. I've also been involved in politics since my teens, with weekly peace vigils in opposition to the expanding war in Afghanistan, and the impending invasion of Iraq. I was briefly involved in the movement to close SOA/WHINSEC, and I've been involved in local political campaigns. I'm from the US, but I've been fortunate enough to travel the world a bit, and I currently live in Ireland, with no desire to return. I recently completed an MA in creative writing, and I'm working on a subversive YA fantasy series that's gonna be great, if I do say so myself.

No actual post this week. Thanks to this wonderful world created by US hegemony, I had to spend most of this week’s energy trying to find a new source of income. If anybody wants to cover my rent going forward, I’ll be sure to post more regularly.
