It’s solar and wind and tidal and geothermal and hydropower.

It’s plant-based diets and regenerative livestock farming and insect protein and lab-grown meat.

It’s electric cars and reliable public transit and decreasing how far and how often we travel.

It’s growing your own vegetables and community gardens and vertical farms and supporting local producers.

It’s rewilding the countryside and greening cities.

It’s getting people active and improving disabled access.

It’s making your own clothes and buying or swapping sustainable stuff with your neighbours.

It’s the right to repair and reducing consumption in the first place.

It’s greater land rights for the commons and indigenous peoples and creating protected areas.

It’s radical, drastic change and community consensus.

It’s labour rights and less work.

It’s science and arts.

It’s theoretical academic thought and concrete practical action.

It’s signing petitions and campaigning and protesting and civil disobedience.

It’s sailboats and zeppelins.

It’s the speculative and the possible.

It’s raising living standards and curbing consumerism.

It’s global and local.

It’s me and you.

Climate solutions look different for everyone, and we all have something to offer.

There have been many times people have solved the energy issue. Then their labs were ransacked and they were murdered 🤔

Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.

Re: “Ethnostates”

I think that what bothers me most about the current discourse regarding ethnostates — aside from the fact that it’s just blatant antisemitism and Islamophobia, which I might address in a separate post (but I wanna keep this one focused) is this:

Neither Israelis nor Palestinians are going anywhere, and they both deserve guarantees of safety and equality based specifically on their ethnicities. They need to both be assured, in a written constitutional document that they will both always have representation in government (ideally, equal representation), they will both be guaranteed protection from violence, expulsion, and segregation. They will have equal freedoms and access to resources.

And right now, the only way we know how to do that is with the dreaded nation-states. And, like, everyone railing against nation-states is currently living in one, because that’s the world we are living in.

Yeah, if we wanna talk open borders, I don’t know much about that. Maybe that’s an interesting concept or a very flawed one. I don’t know. But I do know that whatever solution Israel and Palestine will and must eventually find will be an experiment already. It will be dual state or a state that actively represents two historically oppressed groups who have been pitted against each other.

The government they create as a solution will be enough of an experiment already. Why is the world putting the pressure of an anarchist dreamland on them too? How about we let them solve this issue the best way they can and the way every other currently existing nation has solved their problems—by building a new, better nation to the best of their collective ability.

Why, all of a sudden, is this an unacceptable solution? Why do Israel and Palestine have to create your fantasy while trying to solve their own problems? It’s nonsense!

So just helped a Tumblr user out with this issue and wanted to make a separate post to reach other people having the same issue.

I see CapCut for now has banned use of their software for users in the USA, assuming it’s to do with the TikTok ban and they’re just trying to cover their asses during this. But it’s a shit tatic pull by CapCut for users to just log in and suddenly find they don’t have access to creative projects that they were working hard on without any prior warning to even be able to back up their work elsewhere.

The Fix is VPN usage, this method is free and can take less than 5 mins, 10 mins max.

If you download ProtonVPN on the Apple app store you will be able to change your IP location to outside of America. Proton VPN is free to use on a basic package but it will try with pop ups to get you to upgrade, you can just close these and continue with the free version.

When navigating the app and getting started the middle bottom button has a quick connect option. A pop up will come up asking to set up VPN services on your device and on clicking proceed will automatically take you to settings to enable this. Then back to the app, quick connect will try to connect you to a US server firstly as this would be your closest server option but if you keep pressing connect/disconnect it will then keep trying to connect you up with different free servers it offers around the world.

Once you’re connected up to a server outside of the US this will bypass the block on CapCut. I would recommend then saving your projects on the cloud to then download on other devices you may have e.g Google Drive. Just best to have a copy of your work saved elsewhere so you always have access to it.
