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

Yeah I can do that

 

Hey y'all,

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

Hope you have a good time with the seeds ๐Ÿ˜‰. Glad to know they're not escaping outside of your balcony. Pretty good seed haul you got there.

1.) Your automatic watering setup is DOPE.

2.) Hope the morning glory doesn't escape. I have a problem with it in my garden and I didn't ever plant it to begin with...

It's better than no place becoming an ecotopia.

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

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.

Whoops, I meant a community, not an instance. My bad.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wait, what's the difference between an instance and a community?

 

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.

Sure does. Agree wholeheartedly

 

I've been thinking about Solarpunk spiritualities/philosophies. Not gonna use the word religion here to avoid the negative connotations of that.

I've been practicing druidism way before I ever discovered solarpunk, and I feel like the two are very compatible with each other. Love of nature, do no harm to others, fluid and evolving, open to interpretation.

Any other ideas about already existing spiritual philosophies that are compatible with solarpunk?
