I didn’t think about that… thank you!! I can definitely get my hands on an old cellphone.

oooh very useful, thank you! I am hella broke (like rationing my SNAP money broke) but I’d quite like to get into this hobby

Unironically, reading this made me so inspired I got really emotional. An internet of the community for the community. This whole post is beautifully written <3

The connections we have with individual people, as individuals, are world-changing. Think small. Don’t think about fixing the world, think about fixing things for your loved ones, your local community, your town, etc.

There’s an idea I read about recently in Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown which says to consider a flock of starlings, wheeling and swooping above a field. There is no leader; each starling acts only in accordance with the starlings that are nearby, yet all together they create a beautiful, intricate, coordinated pattern.

Be a starling and act according to your nearby starlings. Change is made by a thousand small actions, a thousand small starlings becoming a whole flock. I don 't think I’m doing the idea justice here, but it’s brought me a lot of comfort <3

In the lower right quadrant over the bottom-most yellow mushrooms there seems to be a brown mushroom cap… growing out of another mushroom cap? Or hovering above a disconnected stem? Can a cap sort of grow from another cap? (Genuine question, I know nothing about mushrooms). My friend group would really love this one since they do all kinds of foraging and stuff but I’m not going to subject them to an AI image if I can help it, you know how it is

(Jokes aside, is this image AI generated? It’s hard to tell but it seems like it might be so I don’t want to reshare it…)

I just made my first pot of stock the other day and turned it into soup and oh my god the BROTH

No shame, survival is a worthy cause, maybe the most worthy

Thank you, I needed to hear this
