If you have posts you think should be added here, feel free to tag me!

Remember- you are just one person.

It’s not your responsibility to single-handedly fix everything. Do your best, but don’t push yourself too hard. The average person is not at fault, but we can work to undo some of the damage that has been done by the dragons and giants, and prevent further harm.

Maybe when we’re older, little kids will know how to take care of each other and their spaces, and won’t have to learn it from the internet, but from looking around and being in their communities. Maybe the farmers market will be swarming with people, and buying local will be expected rather than an exception. Maybe the temperatures will stop rising every summer, and seeing the stars won’t be so rare. That’s the goal for this blog. For us to make that happen, a little bit at a time.

Tags below the cut!

Open discussion - stuff to talk about, that I’d love to hear others thoughts on!

Hope - general goals, things that make me, well, hopeful! Some are more joke-y than others, but I think it’s still worthwhile. Avoiding anything too dour. (Sub-tags: hope/jk, hope/community)

Signs of life - think the hope tag, but for things that are actually happening. It’s important to stop, and acknowledge that yes, progress is being made. This is all progress, but the tag name is partially because the first post for it was around nature rehabilitation

Resources - resources to help you be as sustainable as you can be and to build community (and maybe be a little anarchistic while you’re at it). This includes tips on making clothes last longer and getting stuff cheap/free/secondhand, as well as how to improve community spaces! There may also be general safety and wellness resources added to this tag (sub-tags: resources/health, resources/mobility, resources/accessibility, resources/sustainability, resources/community, resources/health)

Public resources - things and places that should be commonly available to the public, including transportation and information

The commons - in the same vein as public resources, but specifically around necessary goods, such as food, water, sanitary products, or mobility aids.

Let it last - posts about making things or repairing them to get them to last, and to last for a long time, and things that should stick around

in with the old and out with the new - typically about something that is older being brought back into common use

Transport - involving how we get around in our day to day. Often anti-car, pro-public transport, and pro-walkable communities posts

To apply - things that would be good for businesses and people to start using when possible

things to kill - stuff that, overall, is worse than it should be. The system itself is worse, the way it affects people is worse, ect. Some of these do include action plans/steps to take!

Take their rope away - a reference to this comic about the trolley problem, basically saying to hold the decision makers responsible for the things they do, and asking the question of who is tying people to the tracks in the first place.

R3x - examples of how people have/ways to reuse, reduce and recycle!! (Yes, it’s Rex, which is also the name of the guy in the blog’s pfp!.)

Right to repair - focusing on how people should be able to access and fix their own stuff, and not rely on price-gouging corporations to fix it for them.

Donation ask - a compilation of asks for donations, verified/trusted. I’ll try to keep them up to date. Here’s a campaign I trust and hope will reach his goal: [XXXXX]

Sewing is always a good skill to have, and accessing good fabrics is important to making sure that what you make lasts!

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

The asteroid 2024 PT5 will orbit earth for approximately 2 months until November 25. According to NASA this temporary capture will start right at this moment (September 29, 19:54 UTC) if tumblr queued this right. source link
