RT @nick_routledge: @johnrobb On FB, an observation from a pillar of the S. Oregon 'eco-social physicianship' movement. Don also runs one of the finer public domain seed companies Stateside. Hands-on, bio-cultural, regenerative design, his quotidian concern, for decades. Don's take, not uncommon, hereabouts.

Copy of FB post from Don Tipping: Worth pondering 🤔 I personally am skeptical that civilization will pull off the ”Hail Mary” pass to avert collapse as in my estimation the signs of collapse are everywhere. It’s just that the collapse is happening in slow motion, unless, that is you are living in a region stricken with civil war, severe natural disasters and/or rampant corruption. I think we’re in a phase of navigating collapse rather than reversing it. For myself, I’m committed to helping ensure a regional island of coherence- a proverbial hybrid between the library of Alexandra and Noah’s ark. That I can be hopeful for.

Copy of tweet here: end/ We describe it as a relocalization of experience, in which a grounded, convivial, eco-social realm catalyzes and flourishes around a bio-cultural model of community, lived into manifestation, enriching human life beyond all comparison to material wealth, values and promise.

What's 'eco-social physicianship'? Well, come join the grassroots, pan-bioregional, 'applied agro-biodiversity' initiative already a proven PNW cornerstone of community-based regenerative-design. Where? @agrariansharing's 7th propagation fair of 2023 in Eugene, OR, this Saturday.
