Who could have forseen this?

Oh, right, everyone who's been reading or thinking about how you can't shoot a virus with a gun or how survival skills in the Anthropocene involve gardening not weaponry.

(no diss on vortexegg, they get it!)

VE, cybersocial occult investigator @vortexegg.com It is perhaps notable that it is 3D printed whistles and not 3D printed gun parts that are making a collective difference in actual community resistance.

day 23: If you garden, do you give away anything that you grow? If so, what do you give away the most of?

I don't usually grow enough of any vegetables to give away, but I could easily give away bouquets of Dahlias.

Hi all - just wanted to introduce https://squeak.solarcene.community

I've been working on a new project recently to build a web server inspired by https://compost.party

If you would like some free hosting for a static website perhaps to document your projects or host your digital then you are very welcome. The server has vibes as each user gets a public_html folder. You'll get ssh access and the server has installed to help make nice static websites. The goal will be to have 100% uptime, due to its very low power consumption it does not require the power saving I use for the solarcene.community mastodon server.

Probably the key thing is that a project should have a mascot and in this case the server is called Squeak and it's an awesome bat! Squeak was designed …

Squeak the bat - cartoon bat with sunglasses and a cool visor, has a small old school walkman and headphones. Flying on a sunset background.
Squeak the bat sleeping upside down in the solarpunk style server room. There are a few devices on a shelf, Squeak's sunglasses and visor as well. A string of lights hand down with a few plans. In the background of the window is a solar panel and further in the distance is a wind turbine.

The discourse around the taking money reminds me of @adapalmer 's https://beforewegoblog.com/purity-and-futures-of-hard-work-by-ada-palmer/ and the discourse around .

I'm not interested in the aesthetics of , but how to make most with the limited tools we have.

If the Wikipedia is getting scraped by the bots - losing money, potentially limiting access to its resources - or allows the AI companies in and GAINS money to share more free, human-created knowledge, I'll take the latter.

I don't need to be pure.

Just finished a little story I've been working on for two months... only 1500 words long but it packs in a lot.

I find these stories are just *more* — more research, more wrestling with, more getting it just right. But when they're done... they bring me joy.

On New Year's, my friend and I met up with the Colorado Native Plant Society and pulled mullein (a noxious weed here in North America) and planted native wildflowers in their place along Clear Creek.

I love doing this kind of work. I know it sounds kind of cheesy, but healing the land heals ourselves. 😊

3. How do you come up with the titles for your works?

Some musician friends in Umeå were looking for band name suggestions, and after listening to their tracks, I thought “The Field Guide for Next Time” could be a good album title. They went with something else (Dreaming Wild, check them out!) but the phrase was so evocative that it inspired the short story that kicked off a weird connected universe of stories
