- March 8th is Intl. Women’s Day! I will be hosting an event, with food and discussions about feminism and solidarity.
- seed starts! I was given a bunch of old tomato seeds and I will see if they’re still viable.
- writing a comprehensive soil contamination and phytoremediation resource.
- its gonna also be spring break, so I’m going to self-care by doing more walks and going out more. even if it is single-digit degrees.
a good solarpunk action week to y'all and I cant wait to hear more of your ideas! 🌱🌲🌳🌿☘🍀🍃
This isn’t exactly a SPAW project, since i started these a few weeks ago, but here’s an update on how my little garden is doing! 💚
The zucchinis are starting to sprout, as is the thyme. The fennel’s going to have to be thinned out and transplanted soon. I planted 5 more green onions, and harvested some from the original plants + the garlic! They were very tasty additions to some jambalaya i made the other night 😋
The spearmint unfortunately died after i accidentally knocked the pot over :/ so I’ll have to buy a plant when it warms up a little more.
I’m also planning on planting some tomatoes and potatoes once I manage to find some big enough containers and a good supply of dirt 👀
I also repaired my holey walking shoes yesterday:
Both the sole and the insole had worn completely through. I stitched a layer of felt on both sides of the insole, and patched over the hole on the outside with a few layers each of scrap fabric and shoe goo. It won’t hold for more than a few weeks, but it’s all i can do with things i have lying around, so! ✌
“Big Brother is watching you.” Once a threat from a dystopian future, today this is a universal reality that we all participate in with our smartphones and Instagram accounts. Yet for years, a rebel undercurrent has pushed back against surveillance, seizing the prevalence of surveillance cameras as yet another vulnerability in the system of control. In the following narrative, an anonymous researcher wages a personal war against surveillance infrastructure, testing some of the same tactics that social movements have recently employed from Greece and Slovenia to Chile and Hong Kong.
