Not a huge #nuts #harvest . Too early but squirrel is already coming to visit. I left plenty. His/her needs are greater than mine.
The #pears are ours, too.

I have switched to Mint Mobile (in the US, in California) and now I have full functionality of calls, texts, cellular Internet, and now multimedia messaging works as well. All of the radios also seem to work, including Wifi and Bluetooth.
Sometimes it loses cellular and needs a reboot, but this seems to be a rarity.

Looking for feedback and ideas. I’m experimenting with making some #slowfashion clothing patches with my hand-carved stamp designs. Would you buy something like this to repair your clothes? Why or why not? What details (colors, designs, fabrics…) would you want? Iron-on or stitched? How much would you expect to pay? Any feedback welcome.
P.S. thanks for any reshares to help me reach a larger sample size of feedback 😊

#Susu—a centuries-old, informal financial system in #Ghana—quietly challenges the dominant global system. Its very existence refutes #capitalism’s insistence that it’s the only possible model for society. The truth is, wholly alternative systems exist—and have existed for a very long time.
Community-based systems are critical in addressing economic inequalities while providing a #sustainable alternative to the harmful neoliberal ideology.

The #Nordic social democracies are far from perfect, and there are worrying signs that they may be sliding to the right.
But the basic #welfare state model remains extremely popular in the Nordics.
Even the right-wing parties CAMPAIGN on a platform to SAVE THE WELFARE STATE.
The Nordic model is popular because it works.
The Nordic model is also the best existing template, or springboard, for a #sustainable society.
That's why I joined a Social Democratic think tank, and that's what I do.
The ONLY truly #sustainable solution for this two-pronged problem is, I firmly believe, #democracy .
Share #power and #resources fairly and equitably.
THEN it may be possible to set safe, universally respected #limits to the use of powerful technologies and finite resources.
Because only fair, democratic sharing
a. reduces the pressure to compete, and
b. gives those in danger of being exploited enough power and resources to defend themselves.
Hi you all!
I'm working for just, #sustainable #transition at the Social Democratic think tank Sorsa Foundation (www.sorsafoundation.fi) in #Helsinki, #Finland.
I've been trying to advance #sustainability since about 2007. I originally have a background in #engineering and #design, and did a PhD about technological substitutes for critical resources. However, #energytransition has been my main focus.
I firmly believe that broadening #democracy is THE key to sustainability.
I highly encourage #journalists, #SportsJournalists and #InvestigativeJournalists to share their work at the upcoming Play the Game conference February 4-7 in #Trondheim, #Norway. Interested journalists should submit a description of their proposed presentation by October 15. I hope to see you there. #Autocracy #democracy #crime #integrity #sport #sustainable #climate

And I’m not sure that those “innovations” serve the interests of the people using the software. Things like “aiding discoverability” and “removing friction” seem to mostly be done in the interests of the people selling the software, selling the people’s time while they’re using the software.
Not to reinvent the wheel or anything. It just has another angle of implications for #permacomputing and #solarpunk #sustainable computing to me, that users don’t usually want or care for ui/ux “upgrades”

#Galena is a primary ore mineral for lead.
Lead batteries are used in most cars (even electric) for the low-voltage accessories. They are essential for polar areas, as they can be charged at freezing temperatures.
Due to its toxicity, lead is the most recycled metal -over 99% of lead is recycled in North America; far more than the components of solar cells, wind turbines, or lithium batteries.
#Lead is the closest we have to a closed-loop #sustainable resource.

I'm giddy this morning: My three-year project #BærUt! on #Sustainable #DigitalScholarlyEditions has been officially assigned an internal project number in the bookkeeping system. Now it's real! We're starting with a 2-day workshop next week, gathering #DSE leads, designers and developers from the Nordic countries to discuss the status quo and future outlook. Many of our "big" projects are finished, and now maintenance and integration into other infrastructures and services are our concern.
(1/3) Masakhane is an exceptional project that effectively brings attention to the growing gap between the developed and developing regions of the world, emphasizing the crucial role that technology plays in this divide. However, the project's purpose goes beyond merely highlighting and pointing fingers; it brilliantly demonstrates the positive and #sustainable outcomes that can be achieved when #technology is harnessed through thoughtful processes of appropriation. https://www.masakhane.io/
Love this chapter about transitions to #sustainable #transportation in #Edmonton
It shows the importance social resources, values, and infrastructure, using social practices theory (and tests it with qual and quant data!)
Riffing on this: No big surprise that when you build a car city, people feel unable to choose anything other than cars, even when they know that it’s ecologically unsustainable.
I don’t think most people know how socially unsustainable car cities are. They reproduce individualism and make it super difficult to weave the kind of social fabric we need if we’re going to adapt and get through the polycrisis.
Chatting with family in Edmonton about this, they mentioned how public transport is in crisis, partly due to a number of violent incidents.
Which makes me think that car culture is the mobility manifestation of gated communities.

The Nazis are coming even stronger in the USA. It's becoming serious. Shit I told my dad pre #Trump. That #Bannon is a white supremacist. They didn't believe me, voted for Trump (we haven't spoken since) - now look at the country.
My dad. A #history buff, has an English degree, worked for the US government. I don't get it.
We fought #Nazis so hard in #WWII (my mom's dad fought in that, navigating a B-17 over Germany).
And #Germany now has SUPER strong anti-Nazi rules now- FOR GOOD REASON. Not in the #USA. But #hate speech isn't free speech.
The #racists and #eugenicists in the USA- #fearmongering, a coming #recession (if we're not already in one) - that's exactly when things slide into #fascism. The decline is here. The #MAGA folks are #complicit with white supremacy.
The USA like this isn't #sustainable for 100 years. Maybe not even 40, or 20.
Just be ready to fight Nazis and #fascists.
I am.

My 5-year old and I will embark on a cross-country train trip tomorrow morning!
Over the next three days, we will travel from Boston to Denver on Amtrak with a one-night stop in Chicago.
Kiddo and I are both psyched! Ready to enjoy the scenic views and read lots of books about trains.
I do *not* like using the word “Blessed” because of its religious connotations that I do not share.
But I am lucky to have a large garden, and enough time and resources to grow our own fresh food.
And I’ve not visited a greengrocer since early June.
Broccoli, Beans, Parsnips and Potatoes from our garden. All ready for lunch.
Relaxing in the #garden this afternoon after ... a day's work in the garden.

#ThrowBackThursday
Dry stone wall, some 4 meters high, at the Moholt ironworks in #Telemark #Norway. Built mid 1700. Abandoned in 1867. Then «lost in the woods» until the end of last century. Belonged to a warehouse for charcoal, with room for 4,000 cubic metres, enough coal for a years production. The work was done by professionals in the eighteenth century and was then therefore judged to last forever, which for now seems true.

My first several jobs in #archives were term positions, and that really sucked.
Excited to read though “Best Practices for Archival Term Positions,” which was just endorsed by the Society of American #Archivists
“At the foundation of this document is the recognition that temporary #labor is detrimental to employees, as well as to #sustainable and holistic #collection stewardship.”
I wasn't able to be there for the finishing touches (last of the copes, shaping etc etc) but I took these photos anyway. I'll pop back for 'final' photos in a few months when our customer has finished their garden and the stone has settled.
This is a 3.5 metre curve, 1.2m on the tallest side, 1m on the shortest side, two cheekends, a niche and undulating cope line to mirror the beautiful hills behind it.
The stone is recycled yorkshire sandstone.
We spend a lot of time covering electric vehicles - but honestly, is THIS the solution to traffic and pollution woes?
No, Not in the slightest.

The phrase "It's complicated" is used by industry lobbyists to intentionally try & disinform people. To complicate matters further, "it's complicated" can also mean that the system that scientists are studying is, well, complex.
But, it's not that complicated to understand that locally grown vegetables & fruits, especially when those veggies & fruits are grown using the methods of #agroecology, are a #sustainable way to produce #food. But, #flying avocados half way around the planet isn't.

Would you read blog articles, if they can only be found in a classical forum?
It sure is the same content, but maybe some people wouldn't have the same connection to the author they have in a blog, because a blog looks more professional and maybe some people think the content is more trustworthy because of that?
For #sustainability and because it's a lot of time (creating graphics and articles in two languages) I would like to give up my blog (https://utopify.org/) and put the content into an existing structure, like a forum. And in the future I will only write articles in English (no other language and no graphics).
I think a #forum would be more accessible for more people and they could comment on it.
If you know a better form and sustainable way to share #blog articles or make it #accessible, please let me know.
So here's a follow-up on my previous post today:
I've decided to create a new #Mastodon #instance that's bit more specialized around the topic of #sustainable #gamedev.
It's called "Green Game Development" and is available at greengame.dev.
Sign-ups are open for everyone!
That being said, I'll be using this account as my primary from here on and I'll be posting more frequently about the topic here, but I'm keeping my old account at mastodon.social as a backup just in case.
#opensource #linux
I'm thinking of hosting a new #Mastodon and/or #Lemmy instance centered primarily around #sustainable #gamedevelopment, but I'm wondering if there would be enough interest for it as it's a fairly niche topic. 🤔
I also don't know how much storage I should dedicate to it to start things out. Would 100 gigs be enough for starters?
Other than that, if you guys have any tips on running an instance, please share with me! 💚
