"Living in the country is different. It stays the same for a long time, generations. "
#Quotes picked out from post by @Hex
"we don't have space to do the right thing"
"you just have to take short cuts when you don't have time or help"
"a social element to making food together... It's almost like there's some kind of evolutionary incentive for kids to *want* to help."
"it just takes more mental energy to cook without meat. It's an easy protein, and our kids are picky."
#slow down, we can be more #careful and #thoughtful.
I think about the #microplastics from those #diapers,
capitalism is the crisis.

There's so much more to this too. Like, I have so much more time and space to consider these things. I mend clothes, when I can. I fix electronics. Part of that is having the privilege (of time) to be able to do that. How many things are broken, wasted, whatever because of all this pressure on people?
It makes the waste of the ultra rich even more stark. They have the time, the privilege, to not waste. They have the capacity to reduce their impact more than any of us, and yet they choose to use more than all of us.
“Silicon Valley isn’t building apps anymore. It’s building empires. Under the banner of "patriotic tech", this new bloc is building the infrastructure of control—clouds, AI, finance, drones, satellites—an integrated system we call the Authoritarian Stack. (…) these firms now operate as state-like powers—writing the rules, winning the tenders, and exporting their model to Europe, where it poses a direct challenge to democratic governance.”

Not all Trans are the same group + We will build something better than Capitalism... #Quote
"Remember: not all trans people are alike, the exact same way that not all members of ANY group are alike. That's why it would be a 'group' and not 'exact clones'. Yes, even identical twins are not completely identical in every way, cool and personally unique though they are in other ways (like us all!)
No one is more important than anyone else. You're allowed to experiment. You're allowed to stay with what you feel comfortable. You need to notice harm to others and yourself. You need to care AND rest. We will build something better after capitalism.
I love you."

How to start Mozilla Firefox in private mode by default?
Method 1
Open Firefox
Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter, continue if your browser asks you to confirm
A search bar will appear, type:
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart
Double-click on it to toggle the value to "true"
Restart Firefox to apply your new settings
Method 2
Open Firefox
Go to the Menu icon on the top right of the screen
Click on Settings
Click on Privacy & Security on the right panel
Go to the History section, and select "Use custom settings for history" for the "Firefox will" item.
Check the Always use private browsing mode checkbox
Restart Firefox
Firefox will now auto-start in the private browsing mode, meaning that your browsing history, download history, searches, and form history will not be saved.
Cookies will also automatically be deleted at the end of each browsing session.

Why this is important (both links in same thread)
On my phone I use Firefox Focus.
No tabs. No bookmarks. Deletes all cookies and history when you close it.
On the rare occasion I need to stay logged in I can use another browser. I use another browser once a month at best.
My god, I just realized one of the simplest opsec things you can do (something I've been doing for years and don't even think about anymore) is set your browsers to open links in private/secure instances AS A DEFAULT.
If it needs to be opened in a window that you want to keep open or bookmark, you can always manually copy and paste it.
It makes no sense to be using a secure shared tool like cryptpad, if you're just gonna open it where you're logged in as you.
Remember the #SocialEngineering motto:
If there are people, there are security holes.
@Gigi on Firefox Android, which I use, you can set it to open links in Private Browser Mode automatically, and there's a menu button for "open in regular tab".
Side note, speaking of opsec, in another conversation someone just mentioned that time the FBI raided an admin's house and got the Kolektiva database because they had the whole thing just downloaded

Care Economy "The Economy itself as Care" (the activities itself as care)...
"The Economy itself as Care"
"Health rather than wealth"
"The dynamic we should be seeking is not growth, but care."
"And that we need to shift from thinking of care as a sector of the economy, to care as the economy itself- it's activities itself as care"

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)

"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.
