Action Week SOON! (3/8-14) @actionweek@sunbeam.city

With Solarpunk action week 2020 almost here I thought it would be a good time to give a primer on how to make seedbombs.

What's up! I'm picking seams of my old larp cloak in preparation for #solarpunkactionweek, and moaning in despair at the sewing work of 14 yo me 😂 I thought the seams looked horrendous then too, so in essence, nothing has changed in 15 years 🤣

@actionweek 1. Start the seeds for our food garden(s)

Kill the green manure on the front hill, cover it with another hefty layer of compost, then spread wildflower seeds (unfortunately, the steepness, lack of sunlight, and overall terrible soil quality of that hill makes it difficult and not worth it to grow food there - so wildlife habitat it shall be!)
Visit a new community garden that opened up in my city
Have the first in-person meeting for a small affinity group I’m starting, which will include printing zines and posters for each member to distribute around the city and planning more fun events
Build another pallet bench and do absolutely 0 crimes with it, just keep it safely and legally on my property

@actionweek it’s still a bit early for spring planting here, so I am thinking about hosting a mending party? Everyone finds some things that are perfectly good but needs to be hemmed/repaired/etc and we all spend the afternoon fixing them

Tons of people have been sharing their plans over on tumblr! If you intend to participate in #SolarpunkActionWeek next week, we'd love to hear what you have in mind!

@actionweek and maybe making a mini farm out of plastic bottles

@actionweek seed bombs and finding something to do with the fabric sausage I have

#SolarpunkActionWeek is less than a month away! Is everyone ready?

I have created a lot of crop rotation plans over the years and have quite a bit of info on it in different books, plus my experience of using them. It made me wonder, would people find a post summarising crop rotations a useful?

I thought maybe this could be something I could do for #solarpunkactionweek

I just found out about #SolarPunkActionWeek and it starts on my birthday! 🤩

I keep trying think of something low-spoon to contribute to #SolarpunkActionWeek, which is on 8th to 14th March. The problem is, all I can think of is giving away some plants/cuttings. Which I do anyway, so doing it during #SolarpunkActionWeek wouldn't be special.

If there is something people have seen me talk about on here that you think, I could do with more info about that and it would fit in with the theme, let me know!

For now, I'll keep musing over this.

Animal lib group UnoffensiveAnimal offer free workshops including lockpicking, how to build lockons, opsec, and hunt sabs.

Pretty sure they're uk-based but have definitely done events in europe and possibly globally too.

Perhaps something for #SolarpunkActionWeek?

Alright. I think I'm gonna try and grow some #elderberry and maybe some #ginger. Not totally sure if that works in this climate though. Definitely gonna try some #garlic again. I'll convert at least one of the raised beds into a hinged #hoophouse #greenhouse.

Can't afford health insurance, so I'm gonna grow some fucking medicine I guess.

Still growing #BokChoy in the basement, so I'm getting a little bit of fresh greens in these cold, dark times.

I got two 6-month water filters, and an air filter that I *believe* is rated for 6months.

My buddy @Got_Rent_Strike gave me a couple big bags of pumpkin seeds, which are a great energy source.

#solarpunkactionweek? IDK. Just planning out loud for the coming year I guess. If we get Medicare for All maybe I'll feel a bit less pressure on this, but it's also a bit exciting. I kinda started doing this without realizing there's a pattern.
