Grahn, Judy. 2009. Ground Zero: The Rise of Lesbian Feminism. In The Judy Grahn Reader, 312–317. San Francisco: Aunt Lute Books. Practical suggestions for how to eat better and more ethically. And maybe even get some new little friends.

The 3rd problem is these new technologies are in their own right an assault on the living world. From beginning to end they require that same scale of devastation. Things like open pit mining, deforestation. These are some of the most toxic industrial processes that has even been invented by humans and the Earth is not going to heal from them in anything but a Geological time scale. They also require fossil fuel, they can’t be done without fossil fuel and that’s why we have 2 choices. Fossil fuel or alternative fossil fuel because it’s really the same thing. It all rests on the same industrial platform. Merrifield, Andrews. 1993. Place and Space: A Lefebvrian Reconciliation. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers 18 (4): 516–531. Since then, as with the case of Olivia Records, the demonstrations have been supplanted by a boycott campaign. Last year, the Indigo Girls, longtime regulars at Michfest, announced that they wouldn’t appear again until the event became trans-inclusive. This year, the scheduled headliners, Hunter Valentine, pulled out for the same reason. Performers who do appear face protests and boycotts of their own; the funk singer Shelley Nicole says that her band, blaKbüshe, was dropped from a show in Brooklyn because it is playing at Michfest next month. It’s no longer about saving those wild places and wild being, it’s become – we need another fuel source – so that we can continue to destroy wild beings and wild places, we don’t want to stop the destruction anymore, we just want to find a better way to fuel that destruction. There were a bunch of people who tried to bring in the emergency of climate change into the main stream. I certainly appreciate those efforts, that’s a really emergency, it’s not the only emergency and I don’t even think it’s the primary emergency. I think it’s a symptom of the other emergency, that bigger emergency, that life is being eaten.

In our culture we have things like anorexia in others you might have FGM. It’s always the same, the sadism, the control. How do you get through to someone who thinks it’s some kind of sexy game to play? How are women not human beings? So, they are solving for the wrong variable, they want to keep this way of life, extend it to everybody, they just want to find another way to fuel it. Dann, Christine. 1985.

S – I see you are not for fossil fuels; I see that one of the accusations against anyone who is against renewable energies is seen as for fossil fuels.

Card, Claudia. 1992. Lesbian Ethics and the Journal Lesbian Ethics: A Review. Hypatia 7 (4): 207–211. S – The world treats women in the same way it treats the natural world; as something to extract things from. And yet, in her concise and poetic manifesto, ex-vegan Lierre argues that vegetarians and vegans have been led astray. We’ve been told that we can have a “killing-free” existence, and the path is paved with entirely vegetable diets. But herein lies the myth: We’ve been doing the same thing for 8000 years and it’s not going to end any differently. You can’t keep drawing down and expect it to last forever.

Concluding thoughts

At first, the book infuriated Russell, but she couldn’t let go of the questions that it raised about her own identity. She had been having heart palpitations, which made her uneasy about the hormones she was taking. Nor did she ever fully believe herself to be male. At one point during her transition, she hooked up with a middle-aged trans woman. Russell knew that she was supposed to think of herself as a man with a woman, but, she said, “It didn’t feel right, and I was scared.” Eventually, she proclaimed herself a woman again, and a radical feminist, though it meant being ostracized by many of her friends. She is now engaged to a woman; someone keyed the word “dyke” on her fiancée’s car.

The number 46 is the energy density of diesel fuel so it’s 46 mega joules per kilogram. That same number for a lithium battery is 1. For an LED acid battery its 0.17 so it’s 46 times more dense than anything you’re going to come up with for solar or wind or any of the others. It just can’t be done. What were some of the health concerns you experienced from consuming a vegan diet, and that your readers have shared with you? And should we be eating soy?

The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability

L – That’s the basis of patriarchy. Once men invent private property, and then they want to hand it down the male lineage, they have to control women. Every woman knows whether she has had a baby or not. We know who the mother is. There’s no way you cannot know. It’s not true for men. Paternity is a much more sketchy prospect. The reason we can’t harvest the sun is because the rest of the planet needs the sun. Plants need the sun, they’re the ones doing the primary production. They can photosynthesis, you and I can’t do that. If we take all the land and turn it into solar panels, there’s not going to be any life. The scale of what would be necessary to use something like solar to produce this kind of energy, you’d have to cover the whole planet in solar panels. It’s not feasible. I was born in 1964 and we could say the environmental started about then. Rachel Carson, The Silent Spring and then The First Earth Day, that was all in the beginning years of my life. The environmental movement was so strongly about one thing, protecting wild places and wild beings from destruction. That changed.
