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

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

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.

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!

Hope your therapist helps get ypu sorted 🫂

4g on my phone!

Hope you’re feeling better mate! Finding a good fit for therapy is so hard… even if they aren’t much help if it’s not costing anything, you can try and figure out exactly what you don’t like to make finding a better therapist in the future a bit easier.

Congratulations on your jobs and successful break! I can’t remember the last time I felt like I was on break… I need to sort that out

Thank you so much 😊 I joined beehaw last year sometime but haven’t been as active as I’d have liked as I was drowning in local politics drama. I’m in a better space now.

I’m leaning towards home assistant but I’m looking into the grow op stuff to see if there is anything already built exactly how I’d like.

Thank you so much! Also thanks for car conversion write up! I’d love to do something live this with an old Suzuki Jimny.

That’s a good idea! I hadn’t heard of pixelfed! I’ll see if I can enable cross posts and slowly shift all my stuff over.

I definitely want something centralised and that can document usage. Long-term, I’d like it to work alongside a moisture and weather monitoring system so that I can really maximise my water efficiency.

Thank you! I genuinely hope you end up just as lucky. I’ll be posting more around here and other parts of Lemmy. I’m on other social media platforms, but it feels like people aren’t there to connect and engage anymore, so it’s become just another channel for mindless consumption.

Thanks!! That’s a great idea! I was nervous to go looking under those rocks as it’s still not legal here, and I don’t need the police in my garden. Those links look like exactly what I’m after. Is there a cannabis growing community here on lemmy I can chat with? Yeah, I’m all for people using cannabis if it helps them, but I think with us on the brink of climate collapse with failing soils… maybe it’s time we utilise some of that tech for local food systems.

I don’t have a blog but I do post little snippets on the big social media platforms. They aren’t super detailed as I’m trying to use my aesthetic appeal to drag unsuspecting viewers down my leftist rabbithole. I was going to revive my tumblr but I actually think just making posts and commenting around Lemmy is better. No follower metrics or corporate algorithms to worry about.

I’m currently an unemployed author under contract, but I don’t get paid until it’s out. The economy is rough here at the moment. My partner works in forestry, and I’m hoping to pick up a 2nd shift apple grading this autumn.

Aotearoa is her first name and what we as a people are slowly moving back to. This may or may not be related to it bumping us up above Australia in drop-down selection menus.

His aggression towards windmills is so odd. I hope progress towards renewable energy is still able to be made

I was hoping you would know of a few linchpins but yeah i reckon we’re pretty fucked

I’ve joined the community council, co-chair of our toy library and co-chair of our community workshop/repair cafe, and I’ve recently helped with starting a new emergency response communications organisation to fill the gap between civil defence and vulnerable communities (people with disabilities, ESL immigrants, migrant workers, the elderly etc). I feel like 2025 I want to get my projects cleaned up and dedicate more time to sharing how to navigate local bureaucracy to start community initiatives so more communities can start their own.

I’d love to hear more about the threads that need pulling to unravel some of the modern media giants.
