Haven't posted for a while, but thought folks here might be interested in this post about our nonprofit's work to support recently arrived migrants.

This effort was mentioned in a NY Times article today. Our post links to that article & info on ways to help. #Migrants #immigration #basicneeds #humanitarian #volunteers #collab

a group of Woburn organizations, churches and volunteers gather around a table to discuss how to support recently arrived refugees.

I think the list of basic needs needs an update.

We used to think, that a human needs in order to survive at least water, food, sleep, clothes and a shelter.

I think the modern first world list would be:

- Coffee
- Solitude
- Internet
- Cute pictures of pets
- Strangers to argue with

This is interesting and matches what I’ve been working on for years now (i.e. “emotional needs” and workplace performance).

Providing decent living with minimum energy: A global scenario / Millward-Hopkins etc

Decent Living Standards to the entire global population!

- global energy consumption in 2050 could be reduced to the levels of the 1960s
- yes, the economic and socio-political changes are enormous
- BUT: the material sacrifices are, in theory, far smaller than many popular narratives imply

#Tories are planning on removing basic #HousingProtections from #AsylumSeekers

"The changes would exempt landlords from regulations governing everything from electrical safety to minimum room sizes… Already traumatised people will be at risk of living in places that are unfit for human habitation"

The practical policy applications that if executed correctly would make measurable improvements in the human condition.

#removestress especially human caused stress.

#basicneeds food, housing, legal right to exist in the eyes of the state

#decarbonization at the level of the lifestyle.

Intensive cultivation of a myriad of biosystems in order to quickly respond to and ameliorate the #climatecrisis.

It only took four years after reading @SaraGoldrickRab 's #BasicNeeds #RealCollege work and two years of a mass student-led movement to end unpaid practicums in #SocialWork (Payment4Placments)... but this #ParticipatoryActionResearch project is live!

You know what we all have in common?

We all have feelings- sadness, joy, fear, anger. (albeit repressed, for some)

We all benefit from using the breath intentionally- long exhale to increase ease, long inhale to increase energy.

We all know hunger, and fullness. Fresh air and sunlight benefit all of us.

We all want to be well. To belong. To be respected. To love and be loved. To be safe.

We are One in the most basic of ways.

"But if it is, in fact, the case that we do live in a meritocracy, and that all the best people are in all the top jobs, then why, one might ask, is the country such an unmitigated bin fire?"
