I'm going to try to explain myself to newer readers. I know my ideas are so far out there that I sound crazy.
I'm old, city born and raised, country since age 37. Couple months shy of 40 years out here.
But I earned my living with technology. All of my living.

It has been our opinion and our goal for the past 10 years or so to help down-size and re-localize our food-supplies. Now via #RegenerateCascadia, #seeds and #permaculture we have a #bioregional way to do so.

Thank you so much everyone who came to the Fourth #AnniversaryofNothing organised by the wonderful @atmosfortotnes. What a beautiful and moving event. ❤️❤️❤️

1488 tags tied to the fence at yesterday's Fourth #AnniversaryofNothing, each one representing a wasted day since @Fastglobe got the site keys. Hand numbered, tied with love and grief. Never underestimate the community of #Totnes.

High-speed rail gets too much hype, while analog, narrow-gauge rail is severely under-hyped
This is the infinitely repairable, energy-conserving, comfortable & beautiful replacement for millions of car trips. High tech has its uses, but low tech has MANY more

20 years ago this knowledge might have given us chance in terms most people could understand. At this stage I think investment in the ideas of eg @robintransition and #leanlogic will yield better returns.

This bear paced the border wall for three hours in distress. Cut off from millennia-old pathways that connect mountains and streams and springs and bears to life itself. This is the now-gone wild world. The freedom to roam is severed. Life is walled.

I think a nice goal for our family is to slowly move away from the necessity of wage labor by building up our household economy - crafts, foodstuffs, contracted services, etc. That is an infrastructure and capacity that I would like to pass on to our kids

Very sorry to hear of this and it makes our #regenerative work ever more important. Let us use #permaculture, @LeanDictionary and #seeds to enable more #Resilience. – at Eugene, OR
I am not ready to speak about the death of my dear friend Michael Dowd. Others are writing beautiful commentaries.
For now, I will share a little of the beauty Michael and I created together four years ago...

Read em and weep. "As a parade of wildfires, floods, droughts, and extreme heat are showing, it’s Gaia who is calling the shots. She’s making her own fierce, non-negotiable demands on us." Time to get humble and real, via #permaculture and @LeanDictionary

As a new officer at my first SEAL Team, I told the Master Chief that it made me uncomfortable when he called me "sir".
He literally had more years in combat than I had months as a SEAL.
