[enbycrip]

(In which I attempt to read more essential socialist, anarchist and other vital theory).

I ended up *racing* through’ “Fields, Factories and Workshops Tomorrow”, Pyotr Krotopkin’s 1898 book substantially revised in 1911 that’s frequently cited as one of the founding texts of anarchosocialism.

Honestly, this is terrifyingly brilliant and terrifyingly apt well over a century since it was written (and nearly a century since it was substantially revised).

You will need to have an interest in the minutiae of agricultural and industrial production in the 1910s across the globe, though focused in Western Europe and the US, to enjoy the early chapters of the book. Luckily for me, I'm a social historian so I found it genuinely fascinating, but I can imagine other readers without that particular SpIn potentially being a bit bored to tears by them.

The good news is that all of that can be meaningfully skipped over by the modern reader, should you not be interested in it - it largely exists to prove the author's credentials as an economist and that his theories for a rational anarchist society are based on hard and detailed economic knowledge rather than vague idealism, as that is always the charge thrown at those who dare to propose visionary ideas for societal and economic reform.

Krotopkin proposes a society where production and consumption are highly local and decentralised, though knowledge exchange, education, luxury goods and technical expertise remain international, and become freer than they were then and are now. Where education is long, broad, rational and practical; where everyone capable of it takes part in local food production and handicrafts as well as other forms of more intellectual and artistic work, and where individuals have a lot more autonomy over their lives than then or now.

His analysis of the destructive effects across all human endeavour of capitalism and the worship of capital is sharp, incisive, rational and unequivocal, though his small foray in the conclusion into picturing the spiritual effect of a world where one could be free of the choice between exploitation and exploiting is genuinely gut-punching to read. He did not picture the climate crisis; he hoped we would destroy capital long before the dominion of oil, but his concentration on the importance of preserving soil fertility and scientific sustainability feels terrifyingly prescient.

Where he falls down is his unexamined colonialist bias; his frequent references to "civilised nations" and several reference to Africans as "savages" are painfully grating. Bizarrely, he also makes approving references to education within the Black community in the US and actively refers at several points to economic colonialism being intensely oppressive. He was writing in an *intensely colonialist period and to me this reads as clumsy attempts to *begin* to reach towards anti-colonialism while utterly failing to examine the bias his life and education was steeped in. He is better on misogyny; despite writing about people as a whole with a somewhat patriarchal bent, he is scrupulous in noting the presence and capacities of women and girls in work and education.

You do not need to be an expert on the histories and politics of the occupation of Palestine to join us and contribute. We're definitely not experts, and none of our membership has lived experience as a Palestinian person. But what we do know is that RAW comes from resistance to systems of oppression and the on-going impacts of settler colonialism and imperialism. What we do know is we must take a clear stance against genocide and deepen our practices of support for decolonization resistance movements everywhere, from Turtle Island to Palestine. What we do know is that solidarity is a commitment to paying attention, to learning, to collectivity, and to action in the struggle for justice, safety, sovereignty, and freedom. [x]

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Colony Workshop! Wow, it's hard to believe it's already been another year! I've been looking back at everything I've accomplished and all the new bugs we've met. It's given me a lot to feel inspired by and I'm looking forward to another fun-filled year of Colony! 🐝 In the last few months I've made a lot of progress with Colony: Rise of the Monarch and we've seen the release of episodes 2 and 3 to WebToons Canvas! 🦋 If you haven't had a chance to catch those yet, check it out on WebToons at- https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/colony/list?title_no=430865 (You can also see my first short WebToon- Colony: Legacy there!) Making this webseries by myself is an enormous task but I'm so happy to have the opportunity to write this story and share it with you all. It's been such a learning curve figuring out how to make this and I have already picked up so many new skills and techniques. I really hope that you'll keep an eye on Colony and follow this heartwarming journey as it develops! ❤️ I'm going to be away from my PC this weekend for some much needed rest. It's going to make June a short month for drawing but I'm hoping to get a few small bug drawings out and have the next episode of Rise of the Monarch ready to post in July. Have fun, everyone! Wear sunscreen! I'll catch you all again soon! 🐝

The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies: A List of Small Business Ideas

With the recent announcement of the Businesses & Hobbies expansion pack, we'll be able to run small business on both residential lots or their 'community' lots.

On these lots, you'll be able to charge an entrance or hourly fee, sell items and encourage certain behaviours and actions.

I'm trying to create a list of ideas for different small businesses that it's possible to create, using different content from various other packs. Hopefully it will inspire you once we're able to use the pack!

I've tried to avoid any types of retail space/store, as that would make the list even longer! (Plus I'm not sure how they'll interact with Get to Work.) They're in no particular order, just as I thought of them.

Im remembering where I left off on my long term d&d campaign before we all realized our holiday seasonal schedules would make it incredibly difficult to play.

My players had made it to the dwarven city of my homebrew setting. And I had added on a detail from dwarf fortress to help enhance some of the weird culture they have. These are weird dwarves, after all. They have been grafting uranium into the skin for generations.

I added strange moods.

For those unfamiliar with dwarf fortress, you manage a colony of dwarves. You tell the dwarves what to do and they try to do it. You can micromanage just about everything. But every now and then a dwarf gets a "strange mood" or a "fey mood" (there's a few names for it in game). You can't stop this. When it happens the dwarf stops what they're doing, enters a trance like state, hijacks a workshop in the fortress, steals a bunch of materials, and crafts what is usually an incredibly valuable artifact.

So I described this to my players, as part of the city was being cordoned off due to a particularly troublesome strange mood. And a player responded with "so. Crafting heat. Got it."

And it killed a me a little. In a good way, of course. I had to stop and think about it for a minute before I could laugh but I did laugh.

Anyway, this is now the canonical way I think about it. The dwarves have a heat cycle, and it is not sexual in nature. It is for making cool and useless things. Like hats made of bone and rocks.

Sparks Colony Tour

Season One Finale

Sparks is the first colony that Mechi built from the ground up, and likely holds a special place in his heart. However, it's now time to pass the torch to his brothers while he sets off for the next leg of his journey.

Before he leaves with his away team to seek The Archonexus, how about one last look around the place for old times' sake?

Sparks is situated in an out-of-the-way peninsula called Point Fleascale, in an arid shrubland that Mechi hoped would be sparsely populated. He was not so lucky.

To the northwest of the main colony (the house in the centre) you can see our newest outpost, Delsuston, where our former prisoners Metan and Pegasius are enjoying a lovely coastal retreat in the ocular forest. It's good for them.

To the north is our first outpost at Arwell, where blind healer Melissa and Man in Black XiaoLiang spent most of their time. Hopefully, the gang there will continue to send valuable things for Tokori, Lansa, Melissa, XiaoLiang and Flapjack to use for a long time to come.

Out eastwards is the second of our outposts, Arno. This is where Flapjack resided, and where Jut stayed for a little while before being called back.

Here is the main overview of the colony (again). It's a bit of a funky shape because you never know when you might need an uninhibited anima tree, so we're always careful to build around it.

This is lovingly referred to as "the main block", and is where our colonists spend the majority of their time. It is a nice oasis of greenery in the sandy shrubland, which Mechi and Co. are very proud of.

We have a well-secured containment facility for our captured entities, right next to our hospital, in case of any mishaps with such horrifying creatures. In the bottom left corner is our nicely decorated psychic ritual spot, with a classy fountain plaza beside.

Our farms grow a mix of animal food, medicinal herbs, tinctoria, food to shove in the paste dispenser, and (most importantly) coffee. The kitchen is an unimpressive affair, with the paste dispenser and the coffee machine being the only particularly interesting things there. We also have a bathroom and a small recreational room (formerly Mechi and Kwahu's bedroom), with Alistair's room over beside the cucumber patch on the right.

Here's where the magic happens! There are laboratories, workshops, a temple, a throne room, a prison cell with a ripscanner, and even some well-appointed bedrooms worthy of royalty.

The main laboratory is right beside the prison, overlooking it so we could decide if we needed any high subcores soon. It's equipped with a fabrication bench that Alistair uses almost nonstop, a research table that is never without a Jones boy, and lots of useful mechanitor gadgets and gizmos, such as mech gestators and rechargers. Next door is our storeroom, which provides easy access whenever we want to make new mechanoids.

The Jones boys sleep all together in one room. Mechi is in the double bed on the left, with Lansa sleeping in the single bed beside it. Kwahu and Tokori sleep on the other side of the room. They share the space with Charlotte the munchkin cat and Othello the Great Dane.

The pink bedroom at the top is where Ivy and her persian cat, Prudence, sleep. Ivy also has a private bathroom.

To the right you can see our temple with Mechi and Kwahu's throne room/Lansa's old tomb above it. It is a very fancy and regal place for Mechi and Kwahu to meditate and engage in royal gossip when the mood strikes them.

After a void-provocation-ritual-gone-wrong, a grief-stricken Mechi built a house for his (presumed) dead family. It has everything from a kitchen/dining area, a cozy living room complete with air hockey, a tasteful bedroom for his parents, a spacious bathroom, and a room designed especially for the beloved sister he assumes he will never see again. There's even an outdoor grill and picnic table!

Sometimes—very rarely—we let guests sleep in here if there are no more beds available. Mechi tries to avoid that whenever possible, though.

To the side of the 'main block' we have our killbox, which has served us well enough and will hopefully do the same for those we leave behind. Also pictured is one of our several water treatment/storage facilities to help provide for all the bathrooms, hot tubs, and even the swimming pool that Sparks has.

South of the 'main block' is our cemetery, the void monolith, and one of our two geothermal generators. Mechi and Kwahu used to meditate at the graves in the cemetery before they got a throne room, so they are very well acquainted with it, as well as with the monolith which they study at every opportunity. Nerds.

Moving away from the 'main block' we have our outdoor recreation area, with a pool, a telescope, some chess tables, and horseshoe pins for anyone to use. For those with tastes geared to indoor entertainment, we have our hot-tub room and private cinema, ready to help you relax and unwind after a long day fighting off raids and witnessing horrors from the Void.

Welcome to The Jones Brothers’ Point Fleascale Hotel and Casino! It's still under construction as we add some royal suites to the lineup, but there's plenty of beds and a fully functional bar. Feel free to enjoy some drinks, play some arcade games, slip into the back room for a game or three of poker, or just unwind and watch the tv by the bar. What more could you ask for?

Right beside our hotel is the toxic wastepack storage room, which I'm sure doesn't violate any safety codes or business legislation at all. Behind the waste facility is our second geothermal generator, and also the grave of Mechi's beloved first dog, Brandy. Rest in Peace, best girl 💔

Finally, we have the trade spot and the monument Kwahu had to build in order to make Ivy his heiress.

It's been a delight living here and seeing Sparks built from the ground up, but it's time to go now. The Archonexus awaits!

Is everybody packed? We've got coffee, bedrolls, silver, medicine, the bible Kwahu wrote and all the yaoi Ivy could carry, and some hemogen to tide Jut over. Alistair even remembered to grab the teddy bear that Ivy gave him!

With that, we say goodbye to Sparks, "see you later" to our friends and family there, and "hello" to our new home... who knows what Season 2 of this story will bring? Let's find out!
