thank you so much!
Pretty good! Started off with a morning at playcentre, afternoon doing a shift at the toy library, and finished off by giving a presentation at the community council meeting. Got my community garden proposal through to the next phase (regional council). Got overwhelming support from my presentation at the community council meeting and feeling really good about it. First structural edit meeting for the book I've been working on is Thursday and I'm really happy with how that's all going too. Early stages of getting a library of tools/community workspace organised.
Just in a really good place right now and I feel like I'm actually getting somewhere with my goals.
Yeah I 2nd this OP. Do the little immediate things and while you do them you can meditate on what other little things you can work on.
Choice! I love a good cycle way. We used to live in a really cycle friendly city but it's a bit harder living rurally. There are cycle ways but there is one super dangerous 2 lane tree lined road that we'd have to share with stock and logging trucks 😬 hopefully someday they will connect the tracks. Car centric infrastructure makes me feel very isolated
My old kitty was a harness kitty but I haven't tried with Marbles yet. She'll nees to be come summer but for now she just comes out in the garden with me and sticks around very well.
Here's a couple more resources for co-op organising
Thats so spcial! Creating something that will benefit their community for generations ✨️
Me! We've reforested the sides of our ridge with about 12000 native plants. They are a couple years old now so slowly popping up but we've already noticed an increase in our birds/manu, especially tui who love the pohutukawa and harakeke
Personally I don't think tolerating intolerance is just a differing opinion. I feel like excusing genocide puts them in a group of people i don't want to associate and I don't think an "opinion" like denying genocide should be sat at the same table as reality.
Don't mince my words, I hate all imperialistic governments who commit genocide and if there were posts about the US never having intentionally killed all the buffalo, trail of tears, those culture stripping schools etc or our own version of those schools here in Aotearoa I would be just as disgusted.
Sometimes it can be helpful to be in a space with people who might share similar experiences. A lot of queer people experience rejection by their birth families and having other people going through the something gives them a new support system. Those organisations often have specialised therapy available and resources that can help.
Of course you shouldn't feel pressured into a space you don't feel comfortable in but your comments all seem very pointed and angry about other people's celebrations. The world can be a dark place and I also hate ~~rainbow~~ Capitalism but that's all the more reason to support small queer businesses and throw your own celebrations with friends.
I live rurally now but I lived in a big city when I was younger and yeah I felt like a cog in a machine in the best way? It felt much more communal than my small community now so I think I've really been chasing that feeling. I think when we are physically more isolated it becomes easier to mentally isolate, especially when a lot of people are having to commute for work and coming home too exhausted for socialising. I really want a more robust public transport system as I think it encourages a connection between regular riders.
