  • This is a really great idea. Thanks for making it happen 😊

  • Have you looked at the green list jobs? A lot of companies pay for your move and with an offer dependents isn't a problem. Pets can be tricky though. Definitely not easy!

  • I live in Aotearoa New Zealand so we are lucky enough to still have a lot of local owned brands and i live rural so I have neighbours farmstalls and my own produce options.

  • I'm doing a full boycott of all American or American owned Mega corps. Pride themed cookies isn't enough for me, I want to a fair pay structure at all levels of their supply chain, more accountability on their environmental impacts, and a stance against facisim. Until then, I'll just buy as local as I can and bake my own 🫤

  • What brands should we NOT boycott?

    Jump

  • Is there a way to add brands i want to avoid that aren't on their list? I live in Aotearoa so I'm not sure if the list will have everything included

  • Solarpunk applications for apartments

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Mandatory jail for Nazi salutes under new Australia laws

  • 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.

  • Mandatory jail for Nazi salutes under new Australia laws

    Jump

  • 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

  • Thanks mate. I really needed to hear this

  • Do you broadcast your neurodivergence?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • 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

  • Just living my little solarpunk life

    Jump

  • 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!
