It's easy to feel despairing these days. Rebecca Solnit looks back on the history of positive political change and reminds us that activists are always working against the odds and trying to accomplish what seems impossible... until they succeed. #LetNotYourHeartBeTroubled #RebeccaSolnit

The one thing everyone gets wrong about feminism People love to declare the death of the women’s movement, pointing to the ‘failure’ of #MeToo or the Epstein files, but don’t give up the fight just yet, writes Rebecca Solnit

I picked up a copy of Rebecca Solnit’s, The Beginning Comes After the End. I’m reading it slowly and carefully to help my mind reframe our current depressing situation. As always, she digs deep to find the light.

The Beginning Comes After the End

Good book.

While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs.

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

#RebeccaSolnit
Interview with Rebecca Solnit. Her claim to fame in the vernacular is coining the word mansplaining.

I highly recommend reading this beautiful interview by the amazing Rebecca Solnit.

Her answer to the last question struck me and resonates with me, and probably so many other women, regarding the negative advice of my upbringing.

A genius for our time. MASSIVELY #RebeccaSolnit www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m...

9/ Rebecca Solnit (EE. UU., 1961). 🗣️ ¿Alguna vez un hombre te ha explicado algo que ya sabías? Solnit popularizó el concepto "mansplaining", diseccionando con humor y brillantez la condescendencia machista y la importancia de que las mujeres sean escuchadas. 📚🚫 #RebeccaSolnit

We are careening toward fascism and leftists are still debating purity to “earn” votes. Your vote is not a valentine, it’s a chess move. #RebeccaSolnit #iykyk Yeah, Kamala and Hillary were just establishment fascists. 🙄

Should be #RebeccaSolnit, of course. And “captured.”
My apologies.

"[T]heir theory of power is that they have it all and no one else matters, which is a stupid theory of power. Political power is relational; it's in the ability to get and keep support, alliances, connections, to be at the heart of the kind of systems... they keep destroying." #RebeccaSolnit

Orwell's Roses, by #RebeccaSolnit
Gardens are acts of resistance—eye-opening essays from Stalin’s war on truth to Colombia’s toxic rose trade. Essential reading for our age of lies.

The Paris climate treaty changed the world. Here’s how | Rebecca Solnit There’s much more to do, but we should be encouraged by the progress we have made

#RebeccaSolnit en este libro donde también señala: “Esta es una época en la que los puntos de referencia se están borrando, en la que corremos el riesgo de olvidar lo que había antes y aceptamos el caos y la destrucción que está ocupando su lugar”.

This was an interesting non-fiction. It bopped back and forth between discussing Orwell's activism and the capitalist and imperialist aspects of the importation of roses to England. The juxtaposition was fascinating.
