Let’s face it, if the world ends, so many of us will flee somewhere else for safety that we’ll end right back up in communities again. There’s going to be more to it than growing your own food and knitting handspun socks.
I’m linking to resources, but a many of these skills, being interpersonal, are best taught in live trainings by professional instructors, where you can see and feel all the interpersonal dynamics going on in the room, and by experience, trying them out on real people in an educational setting.
When the world ends, it will be helpful to be able to::
Even small local pieces of activism today, like organizing a protest march or lobbying your municipal government to make public spaces more accessible, have a double reward: There’s the work you’re doing, and the skills you learn when you do it.
the assumption that people with violent killing skills should be given priority/power in a post-apocalyptic society is the reason it stays post-apocalyptic and doesn’t actually rebuild society

ARTHROPOCENE, on display in THE END IS NIGH at @lightgreyartgallery until Jan 8, 2022!
In every mass extinction in our planet’s history, there have always been survivors: taxa that, for some reason or another, survived under adverse conditions to eventually repopulate the earth with their descendants. In the midst of the sixth mass extinction, humanity often finds itself asking which animals will emerge on the other side of this one. The top contenders for an apocalyptic scenario are not humans, or even mammals; most of them are not even vertebrates. The survivors will be those that pass unnoticed at best and inspire revulsion at worst: arthropods like cockroaches and scorpions, micro-animals like tardigrades, and perhaps small and highly adaptable vertebrates like mummichogs.
Life will continue after the end of humanity, and not necessarily in a form that people would like to see. But when humankind is no longer around to pass judgment, these creatures will still reign as the survivors of whatever is to come. One day, too, the cockroaches and tardigrades will end, but not for a long time.
“As we fled our dying planet with dogs in tow, other animals grew jealous of domestication. The last people to leave reported owls that were friendly and playful, bobcats standing guard over children, and teams of deer trying to pull plows. They all hoped we would save them, too.”

Apocalyptic fiction is inherently weird, but too many books and movies have turned it into something tame and predictable. For more of my bizarre takes on genres you thought you knew, pledge to support the Quiet Pine Trees book!
