Australian woman, lived just down the road from where we used to live until we had massive bushfires and we decamped to Tasmania
Lismore has serious flooding issues, so I presume the house she lives on is up on the hill near the hospital ?
Collapse ? She talks of her climate grief and her understanding of “we’re collapsing”, (at about 11:40 and again at 14:00) not sure she’s at Tom Murphies level but none the less I find her inspirational and thought others might be interested.
Yes yes we’re well aware underpinning it all is someone else paying the bills in exchange for her labour, but I still find her inspirational for lowering her impact significantly and thoughfully.
If mods think its not for here, they can delete it …
I think this fits this sub, as a mod I am interested in crunchy science filled articles that get to the heart of large systems that are effecting us all, but I know it is not enough to just have those. In my opinion featuring stories, slices of life, perspectives and the lived experiences of people going through collapse is just as important.
A window into someone’s life about how they have adapted to climate change and how they have dealt with collapse is potentially just as relevant because if we don’t have those stories too than the process of talking about collapse just becomes an abstracted, technical gatekept thing that is divorced from the general human experience of average people going through it.
The only time I would actually consider taking mod actions on a link shared like this is if the individual perspectives shared were just totally divorced from reality and spreading significant misinformation/disinformation about climate change action, knowledge and science, which this obviously is not.
