The fact the #godot #xr team now has an EU timezone meeting alternating with the US one is a HUGE boon!

While the world seems to be occupied with eliminating one another
climate catastrophe is not only continuing but actually accelerating

Maybe it's just human nature to prefer unöoading onto the other and fighting them until no energy is left so we exhaustedly dim away into oblivion

but actually tackle the problem of transforming society to a mode of production and reproduction that is a lot less destructive and a lot more socially acceptable

A teaser video of a little game I've been working on for the visionPro!

It really is magical how much presence you feel in a call on that hardware and it’s great we can just sit on top of that with our little game.

I presume there are very few visionPro owners out there in the fediverse, but maybe I can find one??

Texas A&M University: Nature-Inspired Virtual Reality Boosts Emotional Well-Being In Older Adults Living With Dementia . “Exposure to nature — even in a virtual setting — can enhance the emotional well-being and quality of life for older adults living with dementia.

We have a new banner painting thanks to the work of Mostrovska!
Probably one of the images that most screams "Shipyard" art style that we've seen so far.

Munich Re trainiert die "Klimarolle rückwärts": Mit einer Aktion vor dem Konzernsitz in München protestierten Aktivist*innen gegen den Rückzug aus internationalen Klimaallianzen und fossile Geschäftspraktiken.
Unter Anleitung von CEO Wenning übten Manager*innen auf bunten Matten symbolisch den Rückzug - vor dem "Walking Man", der eigentlich für Fortschritt steht.

Extinction Rebellion fordert:
Eine neue, ehrgeizige Klimastrategie nach "Ambition 2025"
Schluss mit Profiten aus LNG-Terminals und fossiler Expansion
Internationale Verantwortung statt grüner Imagepflege

"Die Doppelmoral ist offensichtlich", sagt XR München. Der Druck aus Zivilgesellschaft und Belegschaft wächst - auf CEO Wenning und seinen Nachfolger Jurecka.

Founder of Extinction Rebellion, Roger Hallam, is currently serving FOUR YEARS in prison since he was convicted of conspiracy to cause a PUBLIC NUSANCE for organising protests to block the M25 motorway.

Dispatch from Dystopia: 1

Hello readers, it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been busy proselytizing regenerative culture over at The Cultural Easton. What follows is a wandering exploration of the summer so far. I’ve titled it “Dispatch from Dystopia: 1,” as current events now clearly show the old world is not coming back. We’ve moved on. Systems are collapsing all around, and we’re just getting started.

This is the first in a series of quick updates I’m preserving for my children, nieces, and nephews. We may have entered a new phase of collapse, but that doesn’t mean we stop fighting. Right now, I’m on the first of three training sessions through Indivisible for mass defiance and civil resistance. Sustained resistance against authoritarian breakthroughs isn’t easy. But I won’t leave that fight to my kids. There’s a better way to live. All known life follows regenerative principles—except human systems.

It’s time we changed that.
