126/ The Memory We Could Be: Fear and Our Ecological Future w/ Daniel Macmillen Voskoboynik

Daniel Macmillen Voskoboynik is the Argentinian author of The Memory We Could Be: Overcoming Fear to Create Our Ecological Future and amongst the most fascinating thinkers I know. He's also a good friend. We spoke about reckoning with past ecological violence of, bio-cultural memory and our collective ecological heritage. Basically, why we need to mix futurism and ancestrality. Also: storytelling, trauma, healing, climate change and The Office and Gilmour Girls, because why not. ---- EARTHQUAKE DONATION LINKS: The White Helmets whitehelmets.org/en/ The Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) Foundation sams-usa.net Huquqyat https://www.huquqyat.org/ Molham Team Molhamteam.com Kurdish Red Crescent heyvasoruk.org ---- Book recommendations: Ideas to Postpone the End of the World by Ailton Krenak Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals Emergent Strategy Series by Alexis Pauline Gumbs How the World Breaks: Life in Catastrophe's Path, from the Caribbean to Siberia by Stan Cox and Paul Cox Also, the poetry of Joy Harjo, Ilya Kaminsky, Victoria Chang, Dunya Mikhail and Vito Apushana. ---- You can support The Fire These Times on patreon.com/firethesetimes with a monthly or yearly donation and get a lot of perks including early access, exclusive videos, monthly hangouts, access to the book club, merch and more.
