"Most people today are living well within the planetary boundaries. It is only a minority of us who have caused this crisis and who keep driving it forward. The widely popular argument that ‘there are too many people’ is a very misleading one. Population does matter, but it is not people who are causing emissions and depleting the Earth, it is what *some* people do. It is some people’s habits and behavior, in combination with our economic structures, that are causing the catastrophe."

I live in #Michigan. I'm a #solarpunk (recovering #cyberpunk) focused on community support and #climate action.
I work in #library technology, building digital archives to support academic research.
I write #ttrpgs for fun. I wrote "Nyambe" for d20, "Rippers" for #SavageWorlds, and I'm a canon NPC (Kargas Dolunt) in Dave Arneson's Blackmoor. I've been nominated for (and lost) the Diana Jones, Origins, and Ennie awards.
