e218 roundtable - surviving the future

A conscient roundtable about the Surviving the Future 2025 course led by @DarkOptimism Shaun Chamberlin.
I asked five of my fellow learners to share some of their most impact stories and how they plan to apply this knowledge.

Thank you, David. I'll remember that example of gratitude's power.
And I value #AngelaDavis' potent remix of the #SerenityPrayer too, as we learn to navigate that tricky old trick!
"I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept."
Cultivating #gratitude is preferable to some unexamined sense of entitlement.
It has its dangers though. Cultivating gratitude for an abusive relationship, for example, may not be the way to go.
That's why I reflect daily both on what I am grateful for AND on where I need to cultivate #unacceptance.

I absolutely *love* that after Home Secretary #YvetteCooper branded non-violent #PalestineAction as a terrorist group for OPPOSING genocide (meaning that any of us expressing support for them can be sentenced to 14 years in prison), direct action against Israeli weapons of genocide simply continues under a new name.
And the name this new direct action group goes by is... #YvetteCooper!
Well played, friends 😆

#BeyondGM's promising crowdfunded last-ditch legal action to prevent GMOs going legally unlabelled in UK food IN A FEW MONTHS' TIME is already one third funded.
If you like being able to choose whether to eat GM food, spread the word!
