“No. The settlers didn't settle anything. They unsettled it. Before they came, there were abundant forests and berry patches, there were lots of fish and animals, and the animals had autonomy. They lived out their lives according to their own aims and purposes, and people lived by teachings that acknowledged their place in the web of interconnection. I Desire to have it be this way again. It would be a refreshing change.”
Rena Priest, Positively Uncivilized

“In Las Vegas, it becomes clear that the climate crisis gets so little attention because climate action offers no titillation, no high. Facing reality is the opposite of winning at the tables, the opposite of drinking your face off and leaving your regrets behind at the airport. The ecocide that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and the whole world is a metaphor for Vegas, and we are always lifting off into the air, watching our excesses vanish as we climb to thirty thousand feet.”
Rena Priest, Positively Uncivilized
