This is a really great idea. Thanks for making it happen 😊

So like a fully plastic Pickman?

Have you looked at the green list jobs? A lot of companies pay for your move and with an offer dependents isn’t a problem. Pets can be tricky though. Definitely not easy!

Not easy outside of high-skills or wealth.

I live in Aotearoa New Zealand so we are lucky enough to still have a lot of local owned brands and i live rural so I have neighbours farmstalls and my own produce options.

No worries 😊 i hope they work for you too!

These are honestly really really good. Like a fudgier oreo

I’m doing a full boycott of all American or American owned Mega corps. Pride themed cookies isn’t enough for me, I want to a fair pay structure at all levels of their supply chain, more accountability on their environmental impacts, and a stance against facisim. Until then, I’ll just buy as local as I can and bake my own 🫤

Is there a way to add brands i want to avoid that aren’t on their list? I live in Aotearoa so I’m not sure if the list will have everything included

You hurt their donors. You strike at your regular job but it only works if the majority do it or in key industries. It’s why the US has worked so hard to dismantle and discourage unions. Unions give the people power they can leverage.

Hard boycott is to stop consuming products from companies that donate to the administration. Dont buy them. Find alternatives where you can and go without when its not a necessity. It’s really really hard but its the most powerful non violent method available

Strikes and hard boycotts are incredibly effective. There are other less favourable options too, but you should probably start with the strikes and boycotts.

I would start or participate in your local community garden. They are solarpunk af! If they don’t already have it, an apartment composting scheme at the community garden.

As far as inside goes: maximising natural light and doing a balcony garden and filling the living space with house plants. Hydroponics is solarpunk. I would set up a wee fishtank nutrientcycler like they do in east asia. They look aesthetically solarpunk and help fertilise your garden…just make sure you get the right sized tank for the fish you choose.

I started a new file end of last year and I’m just now at the first winter with only a couple items left until i complete the community centre. I still need the sturgeon, the sandfish, red quartz, and the red cabbage. I’m really looking forward to having it done then spending the next year courting my future wife and decorating

We have different values, I guess. I don’t think tolerating intolerance is acceptable. I think tolerance of intolerance is essentially condoning it. I don’t see how silencing hate speech will “come back to bite me” any worse than the environment it creates. Allowing violence in language encourages violence of other forms, slippery slopes and all that.

You can point the finger in the other direction, saying silencing speech is a slippery slope to limiting all speech, but I’m still confident in my beliefs that tolerating intolerance is the greater of the evils to me.

Paradox of tolerance. At this point in history it’s important to draw hard lines. It will be up to police enforcement and since generally police are sympathetic to white nationalism, i don’t think it will be used outside of public displays of clear intention.

They outlined it. It’s project 2025 + a push from putin around expanding the US empire

All good stuff mate! Proud of you.

Facts. I’m on lemmy via boost app on my phone. I wouldn’t be otherwise

Thanks mate. I really needed to hear this

Nah I don’t tell anyone unless it comes up. That said, I’m on social media and get DMs telling me I have autism accent, like multiple strangers, so I must not be subtle.
