And they go with... this?
Would you consider vertical growstacks for urban areas? Vegetables, aquaculture and 'ponics, all capable of generating green energy. They reduce the logistical waste from shipping, providing affordable, fresh food to urban centers at a premium of space.

I think about that with a lot of conservatives.

I was mostly wrong.
Sometimes ignorance is caught early enough that you can still help, still right that course, heal and make an ally.
But by the time they're spewing hate? Containment is all that's left.
Sometimes Imposter Syndrome and Executive Function look like:
"I can't do this. I can't fucking do this. I'm no fucking good and I'm not worthy of the work and why do people waste their time with me and why do I waste my time and I'm never gonna hit deadline and..."
All while writing, DOING it.
Still feels weird when a human is straight up like, "I do not agree, fascism is cool and I subscribe to the boot on my neck. I refuse your sticker!"

The feeling of validation you've given me will last all day. Thank you. :)
Strong odds we'll never meet, but your work and messages have been with me all my life. So while I missed fresh input, it's harder to miss the folks who are in your heart, in their own way.

The less we depend on external elements, the less leverage they have. Plus its just good long term development. Greentech, hydro...
23.01.2025 13:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I mean, it was a different time. To an extent, it feels like BlueSky is missing us back then.

Fuck the machine. Art is Resistance, and resistance starts at the bottom.
Anything like this for Chicago?
