Build Soil, Collect Water, Emerge from the Ashes.

Sorry I’ve been kinda out of the picture for a while it’s been a really hard year with my dad getting sick in life and the Non Profit but there’s some really good stuff happening

But my sweet friend has a farm down there and wants me to be able to do demo projects so we’re gonna do some kind of fun videos showing some potentially large projects depending on how our negotiations go

Moving is really hard but I’m also like really doing a real good move and getting rid of things I don’t need and really thinking about why I have paper I have in books I have and all that. Not sure if Corvallis is going to be long-term I am definitely still trying to go to Italy

So I just thought I’d let everybody know that I am doing OK and I am in the process of moving and it is really hard to move a farm that was created spontaneously at the beginning of a pandemic with only a couple people helping. Luckily things are being moved to two different locations in Corvallis

Don’t bring them in

Yeah I mean public libraries. But yeah I definitely spend more time on ILL than Anywhere else.

and they already have low budget anyway so I don’t blame them. But part of the reason they can rationalize not keeping every book is that supposedly library is like the Library of Congress are maintaining every book and then I was like oh wait are they

God I’m glad to hear that I was just talking to somebody about how we all got Fahrenheit 451d and everyone digitized and threw away their collections and now most libraries don’t bother keeping books because they’re trying to keep a current and relevant collection

I’m aware I’m jumping all over history right now but that’s what happens when I’m trying to go to bed at 4 AM

Thinking about how during the golden age, Bagdad had dormitories for European refugees including Christians and pagans who were scholars and intellectuals and mathematicians who were being persecuted

Was just thinking about stuff while I was trying to fall asleep you know

Given that the acid tests were the trial run for our current era of Internet culture and control, I feel like this is very very good advice for pulling ourselves together in movements and communities during crisis and challenge

He thinks it’s because the process of finding one takes so many steps of pulling your shit together

And he says he always tells people the exact same thing but how to stop their bad trip “you need to find a root beer float and drink the whole thing” and he says nobody has ever called him back to tell him that it didn’t work

My most common asked question still is “Why Chestnuts?” Well

Wavy gravy the activist hippie clown who MCd at Woodstock, tell for decades has been getting phone calls from random people having bad acid trips people down at the acid test. Somehow is out in world and he’s never changed it

Intentionally not saying much but I would like to point out just how many people in this scandal are directly involved in Arctic policy & people who are named in it are involved or important for Arctic policy & one of the people we are most interested in being named is pushing hard on Arctic policy

A lot of this is forensic economics trying to understand how they built the instruments they actually were doing, what was actually the environmental impact of the accumulation of that first round of capitalism.

Oldest bank in the world learning about the origins of modern capitalism that happened to sit in the middle of one of the best examples of a city that actually harvest water.

Really really getting down into the details of how water engineering & fire protection gets funded

I swear this is a environmental science degree and it’ll all make sense to my advisor & committee once I’m finished I’m sure 😅

And to be clear it’s not that I’m going to stop calling out or talking about the epistemology of eugenics but there comes a point where any interaction with a space is more harm than good and I don’t wanna give them any ideas

i don't need to tell Elon anything

I can tell that i'm over Twitter because there's Eugenics Discourse happening over there and i feel no need to correct anyone, even though i've been doing a deep-dive into History of Eugenics Research lately

The cool thing is this now reaches the point where we can actually do a little bit of research and put in some examples of the projects that we want to do large scale. I have a whole bunch of ideas but they do need to be vetted with the Folks that hold the land.

I gotta tell you this surviving Covid and the collapse of the funding system of organizations while trying to start a PhD and a podcast while my dad has had heart failure followed by moving as quick as I can towards relocating 100 km to the south, has not been easy

In honor of that as soon as my move is over which is gonna take two weeks, I’m gonna begin doing more life streams including making some videos about the 40 top threads that were on our old Twitter account. It’s time to Retail those stories clearer and with hindsight and experience
