Silence, Complacency, and Comfort in an Age of Collapse.

Volume 10 out now.

This issue brings together a range of interdisciplinary works that examine how identity, care, and ethical response intersect with the challenges of living in a world marked by collapse. Far from passive resignation, the contributions critically engage with the mechanisms—both internal and systemic—that enable silence and complacency, while also offering pathways for healing, resistance, and reimagining.

These pieces highlight the need to reflect on comfort—not as a neutral state, but as a position often sustained by privilege, denial, or structural violence. This issue invites readers to consider what ethical action looks like when the ground beneath us is shifting, and how we might build communities of care without relying on the comforts of certainty or detachment.
