Over 3,000 people participated in the sessions from which this new #MutualAid toolkit was created. An incredible number of participants chipped in to fund its creation. Much gratitude & appreciation for participants & Shareable staff for making this happen.

We’ve officially launched our Mutual Aid toolkit! We broke down the recordings from our Mutual Aid 101 learning series into clips with summaries, key takeaways, & resources. It is to build sustainable and robust mutual aid groups in your community. 🔗https://t.co/iyPDV65veu

@YIMBYLAND Small houses are easy living. I lived in a 700sf house w/ my girlfriend & now wife. We loved it. It had a big backyard shared by the two adjacent similar units. The owner scraped all three units & built a McMansion on the lot, totally out of scale of the surrounding houses.

@cabindotcity So Cabin as a company is closing, but the communities will continue informally without Cabin the company. Is that correct?

@cognazor So cute!

@gregisenberg I recommend @jowyang, veteran tech analyst, AI VC & host of the Llama Lounge, hugely successful AI event series in SF.

@leashless @owocki So true. Used items disappear from our society, datawise. Exhiled to a nowhere land. Off our radar. Every used item & part should be instantly identifiable & saleable/gifted/lended/rented.

@TornadoNate Research all the old, venacular and/or low ways house were / are built to be an aid to life, manage resources well & protect from weather. Like ways food was stored (root cellars), cooled or heated naturally, water collected, linens stored (hot presses) & more.

@RichDecibels I once snorkeled between two islands w/ tricky currents in btw. I tried to take the most direct route, but the current wouldn't let me. Instead, I drifted with the current parallel to the shore until it changed in my favor. Then I powered with the current to the shore.

@HFreinacht A lot of bad can happen in the interim, unfortunately.

@aspiringpeasant And humor.

@dlondonwortel @nmcinroy @ilsr @GoodJobsFirst @RurUrbBridge Bravo! Breaking monopoly, including media monopolies, would both deconcentrate wealth & lessen polarization (political & geographic).

@imboringads Can you recommend a class to learn vibe marketing?

@SustainableTall what is demountable?

@dlondonwortel @GioB1974 Theory: to get more integration in the US context, we'd need more state & city level independence & self-sufficiency. The separation between rural & urban is indirectly federally subsidized.

[Neal Gorenflo @gorenflo]

@dlondonwortel @GioB1974 Worth investigating -> that there was more rural-urban integration in poleis. Maybe because there was no level of governance above the polis to interfere with it.

@dlondonwortel More prominent in EU academic circles. Became central to my thinking abt cities, especially in light of needed transitions to eco-social societies. Intermediary cities are a bridge to the future where rural, urban & global can be productively integrated vs. current polarization.

For over 50 years, the Planet Drum Foundation has promoted bioregionalism through an amazing range of artworks and publications.

Much of their material is free to view and download: I highly recommend diving in!
