You hurt their donors. You strike at your regular job but it only works if the majority do it or in key industries. It’s why the US has worked so hard to dismantle and discourage unions. Unions give the people power they can leverage.

Hard boycott is to stop consuming products from companies that donate to the administration. Dont buy them. Find alternatives where you can and go without when its not a necessity. It’s really really hard but its the most powerful non violent method available

Strikes and hard boycotts are incredibly effective. There are other less favourable options too, but you should probably start with the strikes and boycotts.

I would start or participate in your local community garden. They are solarpunk af! If they don’t already have it, an apartment composting scheme at the community garden.

As far as inside goes: maximising natural light and doing a balcony garden and filling the living space with house plants. Hydroponics is solarpunk. I would set up a wee fishtank nutrientcycler like they do in east asia. They look aesthetically solarpunk and help fertilise your garden…just make sure you get the right sized tank for the fish you choose.

I started a new file end of last year and I’m just now at the first winter with only a couple items left until i complete the community centre. I still need the sturgeon, the sandfish, red quartz, and the red cabbage. I’m really looking forward to having it done then spending the next year courting my future wife and decorating

We have different values, I guess. I don’t think tolerating intolerance is acceptable. I think tolerance of intolerance is essentially condoning it. I don’t see how silencing hate speech will “come back to bite me” any worse than the environment it creates. Allowing violence in language encourages violence of other forms, slippery slopes and all that.

You can point the finger in the other direction, saying silencing speech is a slippery slope to limiting all speech, but I’m still confident in my beliefs that tolerating intolerance is the greater of the evils to me.

Paradox of tolerance. At this point in history it’s important to draw hard lines. It will be up to police enforcement and since generally police are sympathetic to white nationalism, i don’t think it will be used outside of public displays of clear intention.

They outlined it. It’s project 2025 + a push from putin around expanding the US empire

All good stuff mate! Proud of you.

Facts. I’m on lemmy via boost app on my phone. I wouldn’t be otherwise

Thanks mate. I really needed to hear this

Nah I don’t tell anyone unless it comes up. That said, I’m on social media and get DMs telling me I have autism accent, like multiple strangers, so I must not be subtle.

The propercrisp ones are real yum

“Luckily” way out here, it’s almost entirely fishing waste with consumer plastic like bottles so I think it would be dog safe. I think as long as the dogs are trained well to leave the birds be that could be fun.

You’ll feel so much better once you get them out! My partner did last year and went from being sick half the yeat to getting sick once or twice. You have to go under full, so that was hard as they get a lot of nausea. Took a few days to heal enough to eat more than soup and ice cream. Overall, 10/10 would do again

Kia ora 😊 My partner goes hunting a couple time a week but mostly to feed families in our village and help our forests stay past free. I spend a few hours a day in the garden or with the birds, but most of my time is spent with my daughter or working on various community projects. I don’t have a paying job at the moment but I’m looking to take some apple sorting shifts this season while the emergency communications for vulnerable people start-up I’m a part of sorts funding.

Our cost of living is much lower. No utility bills. The rate on our property is lower. Our mortgage is lower. We have no meat or eggs to buy and most our veggies are sorted as well. We do have higher start up costs like sorting a solar set up and rainwater system. It takes money or connections for naterials to get started

The hydro soil system sounds ideal! I really like data which is why I’m hoping for a system with some reporting features but maybe i start simple and add as I go.

I do have ollas in my berry patch, but as the raised beds are made of stacked stone, they’ve been losing water way too quickly. This year, I’m going to unstack and line the beds to hold a bit more moisture.

Thanks so much for your help!

Ha! I’ll see you on the hallmark channel!

Hope your therapist helps get ypu sorted 🫂

This would make for a quirky character trait in a dark comedy. Hope you’re doing alright!

The nice thing about gardens is that you can always start again 🥰 spring and autumn are great time to go get cuttings for you to grow yourself some free plants! I live minecraft. I play with my daughter and my dad sometimes. It’s such a great way to connect and get creative without spending money or having to travel
