The French city of Grenoble is doing pioneering work in putting Doughnut Economics into practice. And they've just shared it in a fab report, in French & English. If you are in need of some inspiration (anyone?) I promise you a good dose here.... https://www.calameo.com/books/004190376c10227da6667
"Care is a principle, not just a sub-sector of the economy, not something that we wave around to try and claim the moral high ground for, but a principle. And the basis of that principle is restorative."—@ProfTimJackson

@LeslieBurns Trump is the #degrowth president. But not intentionally. 😜
#AI might be amazing... but we need each other more than ever. Human connection.
And making human connection better ourselves if we have to...
Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.
On Thursday, Aberdeen City Council yet again ignored the people of Torry to side with the "Energy Transition Zone" and cleared the way for the burn of St Fittick's Park to be destroyed.
The council voted through the first two planning applications completely unopposed despite Friends of St Fittick's Park giving them a lot of material conditions why they can reject the destruction of the park. (2/4)
Torry is fighting back: our friends have received legal advice that the land comprising St Fittick’s Park and surrounding wetlands is held as part of the historic Lands of Torry Trust for the benefit of ‘education’ and the ‘poor’.
This means that Aberdeen City Council may not be within their rights to use the land for commercial property. Hopefully the threat of legal action spooks the spineless council enough to delay the destruction of the park. (3/4)

Waste Of Time for ICE and #Capitalism...
Waste #ICE time.
(in support of others #distract them)
#Waste Of #Time for #Capitalism.
#AltText reads:
Message text from a screen capture says:
Shout out to white women in California who put #Mexican #flag bumper #stickers on their #cars to bait ICE into profiling them.
It worked. They keep getting pulled over and wasting ICE's time.
Be the sand in the fascist machinery.
Left vs. Right (Liberal vs Fascism etc) People are far too silent, Wait far too long. don't act like they are desperate to fix things...
@JoshuaACNewman Not to undo any of that...
They, the #fascists or #right / #right wing are also more organised and fertile in creating a more fun atmosphere - where #left or #liberal (just for brevity) are too #polite to even bother anyone in saving things from going bad. Wait far too long.
For example on #Mastodon or almost anywhere - just one-way text is NOT going to work
AND NOT talking or organising with others in audio chats does not get people upto speed - they need to be told ./ taught / shared more personally.
Left lacking courage / fertility / creativity / virus-like willpower to reflect any feeling of "shit we;re really going to die" instead of the comfort the have at home complaining about paying the bills (but still paying and not really cutting down either or reducing as #degrowth),..
WE CHEAT YOURSELVES - not meaning to sound unfriendly but it's measurable by your #habits, #monetary #actions. how human-friendly you actions are and where you spend your free time, level of #determination to talk to others etc)... near-0 by nearly all of you!...
Let's talk about it ... that's real peace. Silence / not talking can also hide things and be fascism all to often on the other end of the #spectrum...
@jonesmurphy @cstross @geospaz @datarama Agree with everyone and also Jones with 'us' being also a factor and not just big bad guys...
As I've personally spent most of my life testing directly or indirectly and people, as nice as they are can't talk / or don't want face simple things like it's their money or choices, or eventually banks and that sub-system (or whole thing now) that is fueling #war (often paying for both sides to war #financially and profit from supplying it)
Even just day-to-day #finance is a kind of #fascism deciding who gets what money and never for anything good *because good things don't want to be paid or extort people* and bad things increase prices / declare more war even if #economicwar... so many things are a pattern as well as Jones' decent list of"
#bigotry, #hatred, #laziness, willful #ignorance & #illogic
of which I'll add #jealousy
and lacking:... #morality #patience #courage #will etc (not everyone but even those that claim to be Christian by their own label perhaps and not really basic principles enough)
If anyone would like to humanly chat about anything around I can send them a simple chat link - just browser needed (#Jitsi audio chat - no video needed)
Note to myself - fascinating computer chat follows after the bit i replied to!
@cstross You couldn't program it out-of-the-box. There was no expansion port for experimenting with hardware. It was an appliance, and you weren't supposed to modify it yourself or program it yourself or experiment with it yourself.
The Mac led the way to killing the home computer revolution, and everyone else eagerly followed.
@jonesmurphy @neilk @cstross tech empires were built on tollbooths to the commons, over and over again.

If anyone deserves that Nobel Peace Price is Greta Thunberg. Basically because she doesn't sell guns to Israel!

Most people are inhuman - various spectrum of Nazi...
@onepict Many types of Nazi's - which relates to what you said - though it may not seem directly related but:
Many don't like / want to do things humanly, including human contact as community #admin, as #community member, #academic ETC !
Just write / read #text only as a type of inhumane way ? even if you don't call yourself a #Nazi,
"Yeah I don't do chats!"
Human emotions, feelings - nope not for the many even though they need themselves to have it and even complain when leaders don't have it
So for extreme Nazi's sure but the slightly lower down even for open signups - the answer is to chat to ALL of them eventually which a community should be doing anyway and can do among themselves...
community safety 101 is not as simple as barring people or blocking... years of #FreeSchool shows that even the well-to-do people can't see they are #fascist / #inhuman / binary #Tech people / not doing their human #responsibility / how the #irony abounds and how much time they #waste on other #hashtags rather than sounding like a desperate person like me knowing how we get to any extreme - through silent and #tacit-accepting people, not just just racist or dominating people - people just rolling over and paying #money left #right and centre for any types of leaders / fascist to do the dirty work for us instead of us getting better at it and keeping control a bit more...
Outsource / palm off.... not good
even the good people / charity types.
Happy to see if you reply as this can seem negative or against you or something - it's not... but people have to start the ball rolling and even #DIY do it yourself...
Imagine if you were admin and came across my account asking you to talk while not having to give you my name or credit card details in the name of preserving what little we have left... many would treat it as suspicious rather than consider 'oh that's clever' when they come to rounding up more people or even educate how existing things work when something finally works and they go to shut it down...
Happy to talk more... it's not just the Nazi's - it's also what we're all not doing (imagine Mastodon as the software EMPTY of people actually doing #regular social ! )
Great software.

"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
