How to Survive the End of the World

Autumn and adrienne reunite for the finale episode of the miniseries. We create a collective altar and read aloud the names of beloveds lost inside the pandemic. We pull lessons from content and process of creating the miniseries. And we discuss the incredible transformation unfolding in this very moment, from the epicenter of Minneapolis outward across the globe. Music by Tunde Olaniran, Chad Crouch and Mother Cyborg.

We live in a fundamentally violent society. We have the human right to defend and protect ourselves, but for many of us the means of doing so seem inaccessible. How do we protect and secure our communities as conditions deteriorate? Autumn speaks to security and firearms expert Rashid McCall of the firm Opposition Research, for insight into the challenges and opportunities facing oppressed people who want to practice self-defense. This episode is dedicated to George Floyd, may he rest in power.

We survive by building the new world in the shell of the old, and our new world will need a health care system. How do we transition from a health care system rooted in extraction and profit, to a health care system rooted in justice? We turn to family physician Anjali Taneja, Executive Director of Casa De Salud, a clinic on the forefront of providing justice-driven, accessible health care in Albuquerque, for wisdom and vision in the midst of the pandemic.

Now more than ever we are relying on the internet to satisfy our basic needs and desires. This begs the question, what are apocalypse survival skills for the internet? How do we use the internet as a tool for survival? How do we maintain safety for our communities and our movements for social change when so much of that work must now happen digitally? And what exactly is the internet, anyway? For answers, we turn to digital security expert and organizer for change, Bex Hong Hurwitz of Tiny Gigantic.

We bring you part two of Autumn’s interview with So and Pinar, the love organism behind Queer Nature. We discuss the potential dangers of being on the move in an apocalyptic situation, and how to mitigate them. We also talk about extractive versus visionary responses to apocalypse, and the transformative potential of thinking and acting collectively inside of chaos. So and Pinar created a guide highlighting important concepts from this and the previous episode, so feel free to open it and follow along as you listen.

What behaviors and choices make the difference between life and death in a disaster? What are the skills that will matter most in a crisis, and how do we learn them? Autumn interviews the brilliant founders of Queer Nature, who lead workshops and immersions teaching survival skills and natural crafts. In the first of two conversations, Queer Nature drops wisdom on how the mind and body respond to crisis, how non-human systems can be our allies, and what trauma has to do with our survival.

Any scenario of systemic collapse involves a question of how we sustainably feed ourselves and our communities. For a visionary answer, Autumn turns to the illustrious team at Soul Fire Farm, and their co-founder Leah Penniman.

We continue our miniseries with a conversation about how we access medicine, health, and healing when our under-resourced and fragile medical systems are overwhelmed. Autumn interviews community herbalist Lauren Giambrone, about plant medicine and home remedies that build our immune systems and fight infections, as well as kitchen witchery and other forms of ancestral medicine that can keep us safe and healthy.

During this time of economic collapse, many of us are wondering how we will create and maintain homes, if and when we can’t afford to rent or buy. One answer is to take over vacant homes and buildings, an activity commonly known as squatting. In this episode, Autumn interviews Vikki Law, a prison abolitionist and squatters’ rights activist. Vikki takes us deep inside the story of how vacant buildings in New York City that started out as squats in the 70s and 80s, became permanent homes for their residents. https://victorialaw.net/ @LVikkiml music by Mother Cyborg and Tunde Olaniran and Trans Alp. - www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow www.endoftheworldshow.org/ www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/ @endoftheworldPC @adriennemaree @meansagittarius
