Zimi Zimmerman enjoys chilling in our backyard. He likes to eat grass and observe birds. No interest in eating them, or mice. Vegetarian kitty. 😸

"Collapse is primarily resulting from widespread states of self-deception and ignorance, both in the groups accelerating it actively and in the groups sitting back and accelerating it passively." r/collapse

"If overthrowing the system is impossible, then survive the massacre and hide from the Eye. Find pockets of 'civilized' people. Develop ways to communicate off the grid. Bonus points if you can find a way to pacify those coming after you without killing them." r/collapse

"synthetic substances travel to the womb, permeating the fetus’s blood & tissues...from their very first moments of life, every American newborn carries a slew of...chemicals in their body." @mariahblake.bsky.social on the poisons with us from conception www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

"A hydra of superstition, ignorance, and malice is chewing its way up our toes, past our ankles and dragging everyone down, screaming." r/collapse

Second pear tree. Not planted yet, but clearly eager to be in the ground. 👀

Almost set for the summer, first potatoes (red) planted, plus carrots, turnips, lettuce and others. Two gooseberry cuttings taking off in pots, and the raspberry and white currant are showing off. Spring! 🌱

"I had to talk him out of spraying his entire yard with pesticides because he saw a spider in his basement. He just thought that that's what you're supposed to do. He was upset that he wasn't gonna be able to let his dog play for a few weeks after spraying." r/collapse

"We’re hardly above hairless monkeys bashing each other over the heads with whatever blunt instrument we can find. It doesn’t matter how much technological progress we make because we need to fundamentally change ourselves on a cultural, intellectual, and spiritual level." r/collapse

"You may not like Elon Musk, but you must admit: Who else could father over thirty children and still be the quintessential type specimen of incels?"

Office of Personnel Management is considering setting political affiliation as a firable offense for federal workers. Oligarchy wants civil service full of loyalists, not experts. #collapse #project2025

"The people trying to improve society are not the ones pining for the past. Nostalgia isn't something to steer into, it is a lighthouse warning you of forgotten dangers just below the surface." r/collapse

Reminds me of the first episode of the great French tv series, L'Effondrement. 👀 Subtitled version available here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Items that could see price hikes and/or stocking issues in the US store shelves in the near future. 👀 #tariffs #preparedness

I built my own, but a handy device for those with extra money. #preparedness #collapse

Terrific new interview with Joseph Tainter on #collapse and tipping points. #overshoot

Alarmist, perhaps, but also alarming. 👀 #AMOC #collapse

Collapse Club made it into ‘The Guardian’ in the final paragraphs of this entry, 17 April 2025. We are appropriately intermingled with Deep Adaptation, whence we spring. Thanks to @aarongell.bsky.social !

I think of this song more and more often. 1972 was a prescient year...

"I don't understand why someone would like to live just to eat beans in a basement, clutching a gun. Though... now that I said it out loud, it does actually sound kind of exciting. I mean compared to an office job." r/collapse

“Have I definitely read the science right? It’s catastrophic but every one carries on as normal. Is it me?” “I have to filter my thoughts to fit into a society that still believes in business as usual.” “How do I hold the weight of this without becoming overwhelmed?” #overshoot #collapse

The best news from the Finnish municipal elections is the crushing loss of the far right (True Finns). They remain in the government, however, so there is more damage to be done... but reason and sanity are on the upswing for now.
