HOT TIP: when boycotting, try dupe recipes at home to share with friends. Sometimes there's no local alternative but there's always a recipe blog on the internet. Now i can have doublestuffed mint chocolate sandwich cookies without funding the capitalist machine crushing my American friends ☺️

'mums for nuclear', backed by famous Mum For Nuclear Dick Smith, is massively ramping up its targeted spending on Meta: just flat-out lying to people by claiming nukes will bring down power bills.
Extremely dodgy and unethical stuff

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Okay Bluesky, I've been here a while and found lovely garden content, but where do I find #sewing? Or other sustainable living/tiny house families? Where do I post my little diy low-waste parties?

Who has an automated garden system? I'm setting up irrogation this year to free up more time for planting, foraging, and dreaming. I need to be able to run it off a mini solar setup, and I'd like to eventually integrate it with a weather monitoring system. Has anyone used home-assistant.io? 🌱
Home Assistant
Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server.

🌱 I'm curious why my cosmos haven't been thriving the last couple years but my pumpkins and kale have been making up for it. I know it's only summer but I'm soooo ready for autumn and early winter so I can get started on improvements for next growing season. #gardening

My other thought today was rather than arbitrary caps, a logarithmic/exponential tax rate based around the median wage.
High taxes on huge incomes suddenly makes paying all employees properly a way better idea than overpaying a few at the "top"

🌱 Tūī have been loving our Pōhutukawa and I got rain for Christmas. It feels strange this year, like the calm before a storm. Take care of yourselves, hug your neighbours, and build more connected, more resilient communities with me in 2025. Meri Kirihimete e te whānau 🎄

how far does a branch bend
before it breaks?
When the tree hasn’t been watered,
its leaves plucked,
Its bark peeled—
why are they surprised
when the branches snap and fall?
Why do we blame the tree and not the arborist?

ACT wants to permanently change how regulations are made in NZ and enshrine ACT's principles in our legal system. This is through the Regulatory Standards Bill, which has been quietly making its way through Parliament. We have to raise and alarm and stop this from happening.

🌱 Our Pōhutukawa dressed up for summer Christmas and the solstice 🌞 I love how she does some of her own decorating with the beautiful red flowers. I hung some felt ornaments I made of some of my favourite native birds in between. Almost time to open Christmas gifts with breakfast in the garden 🌻🐝

🌱 Summer Garden ☀️ everything is growing, especially our duck, Sunny Bread Roll! While I water, she nibbles on the silverbeet and kale. I've laid a 10cm thick layer of grass clippings onto my beds to lock in moisture. I need to get some drip lines or soaker hoses in to minimise water loss. #solarpunk

🌱 just a quick a dirty phone picture of my veggie patch 👩🏼🌾 it's been so dry but I've gotten my hands on some grass clippings so I've been watering my plants deeply then putting a thick layer of the grass ontop of the mulch. It should help reflect sunlight and lock in moisture 🤞so far so good!

🌱 thinking of turning my raised stone garden beds into wicking beds this winter. Anyone have any suggestions for what to line them with? Should I just mortar the stone? We are getting dryer Summers each year. I need to focus on water conservation and resilience before I have a desert 🏜 #diy

Unbelievable!
The oil and gas lobby has asked the government to UNDERWRITE the risk of fossil fuel exploration, with the taxpayer potentially taking "some or all" of the risk if new gas supplies fail to eventuate as they are likely to do.

Oil and gas lobby asks government to underwite fossil fuel exploration, minister 'considering options'
A fossil fuel body is warmly praising the government's "no nonsense" draft emissions plan and calling for a sustainable aviation group to be scrapped.

🌱 Progress is Progress looking like another dry summer which isn't ideal but we'll make do. I have plans to convert my raised rock beds to wicking beds with a liner this fall. The tomatoes are thriving in their bucket water retention system and our new family member Sunny Bread Roll has settled in.
