Cross post of my post from elsewhere. I was told y'all might appreciate this.

Hey y'all,

I stumbled across this free extensive course on permaculture by Oregon state university on YouTube. Thought y'all might be interested.

I'm looking to pirate Gibson’s Learn and Master Guitar. Any idea where to look for this? My usual routes aren't being fruitful.

It's better than no place becoming an ecotopia.

Of course, but which do you think would be the spark that ignites the rest?

What is Druidry? (druidry.org)

“Today, far from Druidry seeming like some arcane fringe activity, its preoccupations are now centre-stage. They address the most urgent and important issue of our time: how we galvanize all of our potential – practical, creative, intellectual, and spiritual – to protect and restore the Earth.

They address directly the gaze of Greta Thunberg and her generation – our children and grand-children – to say: we are committed to our love of Nature to the fullest extent, with all of our being – all looking towards the same horizon: a world in which every human being has enough to lead a happy, healthy and fulfilling life without suffering injustice, without terrible inequalities between rich and poor, without the destruction of habitats and species, without the pollution of our skies and seas.” Philip Carr-Gomm

Druidry appeals in particular to people who have become disenchanted with much of conventional religious practice, and who are seeking a sense of spiritual connection with the land, and with their ancestors. In today’s fast-moving and environmentally-threatened world, they are looking for a sense of rootedness in Time and in Place, and for a sense of reverence for the Earth."

Despite the bad news, it's good to know that there's still people out there that care and are actually doing something about it.

Welcome to nature spirituality. Here is the place to talk about your experiences, ideas, theories, and practices relating to the spiritual connection and/or worship of nature.

Everyone is welcome here.

Let's try to grow this community into something special. Cheers!

I'm thinking about making a druidism ~~instance~~ community to discuss the practice and share stories and the likes. I'm not strictly opposed to it being a more general nature spirituality instance, depends on what y'all are thinking.

Anybody interested in joining and/or modding one?

Edit: I meant a community, not an instance. Got my Lemmy vocabulary mixed up. My apologies.

Edit 2: The community has been made. Go to !nature_spirituality

Boneset is a pretty common "weed" in the eastern US. It's easy to find in wet, disturbed habitats.

Uses:

-Fever

-Anti inflammation

-Colds

Do NOT consume in large amounts. It has mild liver toxicity and thus should just be used when needed.

You're so right about Ms. Frizzle. She'd be the perfect teacher in a Solarpunk world.

Agreed about the frequent field trips. It's more important to get out than people think, plus it helps people realize learning isn't just for in the classroom.

This can be the way things are taught, who are the teachers, what a school day would look like, where classes are taught, what things what look like, etc.

I use Fish Emulsion Fertilizer a lot in my own garden. It's organic, and most importantly WORKS. You typically use it for plants bearing fruit (such as tomatoes, watermelon, squash) and not leafy vegetables (spinach, Swiss Chard, etc). It makes the fruits a lot tastier from my experience. I typically buy it from my local farmer's CO-OP, but it's not an uncommon find elsewhere.

Here's a helpful guide on using it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/using-fish-emulsion.htm

This is a good introductory article for Solarpunk. If someone asks you "What is Solarpunk?" this is a good place to start.

[-] countrypunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 months ago

Love what you're doing dude. You've got all kinds of cool ideas. Keep up the good work!

Underappreciated comment

A carrier pigeon seems outdated and unreliable. There are important things such as medication that would need to be reliably delivered to people.

Could you elaborate on what a point express is? A quick Google search didn't get me any helpful english-language answers.

Okay so something that's slowly dying in rural America is the presence of specialty stores and craftspeople. Before dollar general and Walmart killed most of it, there were separate/mom n' pop bakeries, pharmacies, blacksmiths (we could modernize that concept with a technological repair person to fix broken or malfunctioning parts), and tractor/feed supplies. Some of these still exist in rural America obviously but they are declining. Bring back specialization and apprenticeship.

In the center of your village could be a decently sized community garden, with small greenhouses scattered throughout. It acts sort of like a central park or courtyard. Also, rooftop gardens!

Maybe some sort of outdoor community center?

Love this! Most of the solarpunk media that I see is city-based, and as someone who lives in a rural area and loves being rural, this is an awesome concept.
