We put in a bunch of trees and bushes this spring on our new property, so we had zero expectation of actually harvesting anything at all this year.

One of our raspberries has surprised by cranking out a couple of canes this fall. I’m grabbing a handful every other day or so, just collecting them in the freezer until I have enough to do something interesting.

I’ve missed eating things I grew. Our ducks should start producing eggs soon, I’m very excited about that also.

Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.

Ooh! Ooh! Who are the three most communist friendly Lemmy instances and do they want to be friends?

Well shit.

A hot bath being wasteful because you have to heat water and need a sewer is ridiculous.

Solar water heaters are a thing and grey water reuse is also a thing.

You don’t even need electricity to have a private bath.

In addition, prior to the modern era regular bathing was often a privilege of the elite, not to mention the hygiene concerns of a giant bowl of people soup.

Bathhouses still exist in the form of steam rooms and the like, and you could make an argument about the inefficiency of personal hot tubs, but those are more specific examples of “bathing” as a recreational activity and not a hygienic one.

The state and corporations will absolutely protect themselves with extreme violence.

Also, it’s nice to see a link to the anarchist library instead of Amazon.

That parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It is an ex-parrot!

I could be wrong, but I did finish a degree in EE even if I just do software now. But here’s my quick take on it.

Probably because you’re driving voltage on STAT from REGN.

STAT should have a current limiting resistor on it, go through your led, then ground.

REGN should have a 2.2uf cap between the pin and ground according to the datasheet.

I prefer Machetecine.

Clearly witchcraft. Spells to make the kids gay. Definitely not a decorative method of adding texture.

If a state doesn’t give a crap about its citizens, doesn’t defend its citizens from other states, what’s the point of a state at all?

The Geneva Convention is clearly Hamas.

Teen Vogue really on some shit lately.

Between them and Rolling Stone the last few years…

“Well guys, looks like the grey lady is doing a 1935 again, so Jackson, I’m gonna need you to pivot from writing relationship quizzes to the child labor beat. Ada, Frank, can you handle best makeup tutorials and genocide? Allison, I know you’re on concert reviews, how would you feel about also picking up the investigation on coal coke emissions?”

Fucking good on them, I’m sure that there have always been people doing good work at these publications, but it seems like they’ve had to really expand their purview recently to cover these giant gaps.

I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.

Aka: the harbor freight method. I’m a big proponent of this one.

She should lean harder into supporting the genocide. That’ll help.

“We only got old gangster movies, see? My dad, the old fink, didn’t have two pennies to rub together see? Me and my buddy got nipped yanking some movie films from the local five and dime, he sang like a bird, so here I am up the river in sing-sing.”

Above everything, lack of curiosity. If someone is uncurious, it’s a big red flag to me.

Did they bring marshmallows?

I keep hearing the city is on fire, but the smoke around here seems to be coming from the north not the south.

You know… The last time there was a guilded age happening, the United States got an uprising of workers that resulted in massive labor reform. And at least one king was… Un… Kinged.

There can be hope. In the meantime, grow vegetables, help strengthen your community, and spread the knowledge that there are better ways to live.
