Do-it-yourself biology (DIY biology, DIY bio) is a biotechnological social movement in which individuals, communities, and small organizations study biology and life science using the same methods as traditional research institutions.

DIY biology is primarily undertaken by individuals with limited research training from academia or corporations, who then mentor and oversee other DIY biologists with little or no formal training. This may be done as a hobby, as a not-for-profit endeavor for community learning and open-science innovation, or for profit, to start a business.

A great video on practical resistance to Nazi organizing! It's less than 5 minutes long and super simple :)

Thought this was a great video on practical resistance, it's less than 5 minutes long and super simple!

Dave2D reviews the legion steamOS version compared to the windows version, and talks about the differences in performance and user experience

Had a really good time, I'm really glad we made signs :)

I'm not awake during the day generally so I'm kinda thinking now, maybe a way I can contribute is making signs for people to pass out or give away as a way I can contribute

There were people out handing out cookies and donuts which was pretty cool too :)

Didnt get any pictures cause my phone was turned off but there were a ton of people driving by filming

It was honestly really fun, I expected to to feel like a necessary and important chore, but it was super fun waving to every car and trying to get people to honk, and shouting

There were times where it felt like everyone at the major intersection we were at were honking simultaneously and it was kinda incredible 😅 I imagine it helps a lot we were in a fairly blue area in my state

We went to a smaller protest location instead of the main one in our area so we expected it to be really small and peeter out early but it was way bigger than either my friend or I expected

Overall it was really nice, I got to chat with folks, there were folks passing out food so I got a free cookie and donut, got to wave at cars, see people and sometimes little kids in the back seat wave back, try and get moving trucks and whatnot to honk (a good number did lol), only downside is I'm pretty sunburnt cause afterwards we went strawberry picking lol. I'm sure not all protests are fun, but as a first time experience it was a lot more fun that I expected

Walking away from it I feel a bit more connected to my community and I love that feeling

Didn't get any pictures cause I turned my phone off but a ton of people were filming as they drove by. We expected it so be a small location (we didn't go to the main one in our area) but there ended a lot of people there

Getting everyone to honk was honestly really fucking fun 😅 I waved at every car, and a couple of guys on motorcycles- getting one of the motorcycles to wave back was a highlight. There were some big moving trucks that honked, some little kids who waved from back seats, overall had a blast

This video is super important, I just reuploaded it to peertube so people can watch without instagram
