After several years of delays.. my Churchill travel fellowship is back on. Off to USA in Oct for 5 weeks visiting lots of #ti mebanks #MutualAid schemes and more. Starting in Washington DC and around, then up the coast to Boston and New England, hopefully detour to Montreal for a mini break to see an old friend.. then on to Chicago and Austin. Planning on doing lots by train with an Amtrak pass so will have plenty of time to admire the views! Also doing some research and surveys with timebanks in other places and plan to pull all this into a report sometime next year. Would love to connect with folk on here doing something around #timebanking #SharingEconomy and similar.

After several years of delays for #covid and caring responsibilities, my #ChurchillTravelFellowship is unexpectedly back on. Coming to #USA in October to visit various #Timebank schemes on #EastCoast and #NewEngland and maybe #Canada particularly interested in how they help in #rural areas with #CommunityResilience and keeping older people active in vommunities. Sadly with #ClimateChange and #ExtremeWeather events think #Timebanks may prove remarkably useful for that sort of thing. Would love to connect with people doing things like #RepairCafe #foodwaste #CommunityComposting or other #SharingEconomy type things while I'm out there.

Realise there is a lot of grim news at the minute around #ClimateChange .. but just had a really interesting and inspiring meeting about some great projects in #Yorkshire as part of a #CircularTowns project. There is a bigger meeting on Thursday for towns involved for ideas sharing and aim is to connect groups with others doing similar stuff around #RenewableEnergy #food #growing #SeedLibrary #RepairCafe #SharingEconomy and more https://www.ynylep.com/circulartowns

Vielen Menschen ohne allzu viel Arbeit eine Freude machen:

Mein Mann und ich pflegen ein öffentliches Bücherregal im Ort. Die Gemeinde hat uns bei der Anschaffung der Telefonzelle, in der sich das Regal befindet, und der Unterhaltung (Vandalismusreparaturen...) unterstützt.

A new #introduction as I've moved instances ...

I'm a #Narrowboat dwelling reader & #BookReviewer currently living in England though I want to be in Scotland. I'm a #vegan and a #GreenParty member, a supporter of #VeganLandMovement and a #Pigoneer
I love #DiverseReads, sharing 3 #WorldReads #BookReviews on My WorldReads ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/MyWorldReads each week with another 2 #veganish reviews on my Stephanie Jane ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/StephanieJane
We live mostly #OffGrid and are #CarFree. I want to do more to be #PlasticFree and support #degrowth initiatives like the #SharingEconomy

Sometimes I just put things and love and myself out into the world and never really know what will come of it. I never expect reciprocation but man, is it ever a beautiful feeling when receiving gifts in return.

I wasn't expecting anything in the mail and it was such a surprise opening these amazing handmade and locally sourced thoughtful gifts this afternoon.

So much love Katy and the rest of this community that is spread by distance but feels so close 💞

One could go so far as to call it the Joker theory of the administrative state: Capitalists sow chaos, without any particular plan for the “new normal” other than the ability to continually reassert their own dominance, while “opposition” dwindles to the feeble efforts of sequestering customers from the worst externalities and retroactively legalizing whatever it took to get there. Criminality is ret-conned into innovation.
