If hollywood will really return to "traditional values" as Le Figaro writes, and expects there will be more movies about rural life, and religious themes involves, should we expect:
cheap horror movies a-la 1980s?
boring films-to-snore-during?
rural mystique about (folk?) witchcraft?
"wild ghosts or evil witches vs brutal pastor" trope in rural setting
Will side effect of this be more people dreaming about #anarchism via #anarchoPrimitivism #offGrid #offGreed communities?

BRUSSELS — BOOK LAUNCH — 29.4

→ How to make books more sustainable? During this evening, Low-tech Magazine will present our "Compressed Book Edition", this time in Brussels, at Architecture Curating Practice's gallery.

→ Inspired by the image compression on its solar-powered website, Low-tech Magazine squeezed the article catalog of their three-volume chronological book series into just one book. Compressing the content — an editorial and design choice — produces a larger reduction in resource use than printing on recycled paper could ever do.

18:30 Doors open
19:00 Book presentation and introduction of Low-tech Magazine
19:45 Q&A
20:00 Book sale / snacks & drinks / discussion

Architecture curating practice,
et al. architect-run space
37 Rue des Tanneurs / Huidevettersstraat 137
1000 Brussels

(talk will be held in english)

I'm actually finding a lot of 3D printed solutions to things. I also got 3D printed shelves for my old RV fridge on eBay, since the originals are hard to find.

I'm getting a 3D printed siphon attachment for a hose as well. Moving water from one place to another can be a bigger problem than you'd think.

Ahh, a nice pile of pre-mulch (category: pallet). This pile isn't the final pile. It's the holding pile. Next step is distributing the pieces based on where i'd like them to decompose.

Stuff like managed decomposition really makes me feel like I've got my arm up to the elbow in the circle of life, swishing things around and trying to make something happen lol.

And yes, all my most profound ecological insights come only when I'm *at least* elbow deep in the circle of life.

Which reminds me, I have some goat poop (from @saltphoenix ) compost tea brewing in a bucket and I gotta stir it and distribute it. Swish swishing the circle of life quite literally, in this case

After many months of living #offgrid and "blindly" as well as happily relying on our #solar system every day, we've been without #power for two days now. After many hours of troubleshooting and dismantling half the electrical wiring, we finally found a connection that had melted for no apparent reason, causing the fuse box to blow. No moisture, no animals, nothing. But now everything is back to normal and my relaxation level is skyrocketing.

Back home today. Always sad to leave this place behind

I’d like to buy some used solar panels. It’d be cool if I could get them local. I deleted Facebook so marketplace is not an option. eBay searches for local stuff seem sketch.

Anyone have ideas around the #KC metro or beyond! Or possibly have one or two panels not being used? Looking for 200ish to 400ish watts. Would be ideal to get two that combined equal 500-800.

New path section. Very happy with it so far. A few months ago, this area was an impassible tangle of waiawi, puna rose, wild orchid, and other junk.

As I've discovered, putting a path through an area is the first step to bringing it into some semblance of not-overgrown-mess lol.

Plus, I appreciate the metaphorical import of making my own path.

After about 10 years providing 24x7 240v from my 24v battery bank, my once repaired/rebuilt inverter died! Eventually got my spare wired in, so now have power on again.

Now the hunt begins for another inverter to be my spare.

Very cool.

It's leak check day! It's snowing which means a perfect opportunity to figure out how all the water is getting in!

(But it's snowing which means a perfect opportunity to remain snuggled in this comforter.)
