rent is a tax on being alive lol

I can't stop thinking about the potential for recycled pallets to be used as vertical planters. There's so much vertical space in cities that could be filled with these:

WAR REPLACED WITH FREE EVERYTHING

We need more makers, and we need more people supporting makers. Imagine if when something broke you could call someone who'd make you one that will last for your lifetime and, with some easy, light repairs, your childrens' lifetime too? Capitalism would collapse

What would a #maker collective aimed at making a second economy like this look like? Lemme see that brainstorming in the comments

While this is applicable elsewhere, I'm specifically thinking about the problems we might have terraforming other planets (that haven't had our four thousand million years of ecosystem-self-evolutionary history) that might be significantly more than just "put a few seeds into ground and water them".

Or constructing ecosystems in generation ships.

it should be a legal requirement for people to work less hours during the darker months, fuck getting up an hour early for work

Actual Thoughts coming from that Accelerationist Dark Environmentalism exercise, though:

- The amount that what we as a species have now is dependent on energy reserves that have built up over LONG time is very under-acknowledged
- I wonder what other stockpiles we're unknowingly relying on: some sort of ecosystem-complexity?
How long does it actually take to develop a healthy global biosystem of decomposition,
How many millions of species does it take?
What are the risks of monoculture there?

An act of kindness is an act of rebellion.
