Living and working in a tiny house the woods. I freelance as Beardy Guy Creative where I design and create websites, newsletters, annual reports and and all manner of graphics and documents. I experiment with ways to live a low impact life and write about the climate emergency, Apple and the iPad. Lately I've also been posting often about Israel's genocide against the Palestinians. Living on the traditional territory of: - O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ (O-ga-xpa) (Quapaw) - Očhéthi Šakówiŋ - Kaskaskia - Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo)
For decades, we have been taught in schools and told by the media that endless economic growth is good, that it benefits everyone, and that there are no downsides. Never is any alternative discussed or even imagined. Growth, our leaders maintain, is the only way to go.
Degrowth, on the other hand, is almost never spoken of, and when it is, the concept is deliberately misrepresented by our capitalist rulers and their servants.
