@deepgreendesign There is a fence. But we rarely have issues, our dog Hazel keeps it all in check!

@ChromeMoth Have a fence for critters?

Planting our 3000 sq ft garden in so called northern bc, Wetʼsuwetʼen territory. 108 frost free days. Ya have to be a wizard witch to make food for the winter. We are still eating garden food from last year, so I guess we are getting the hang of 54 degrees north gardening.

Nettles. Full of vitamins, minerals, folklore and playfulness.

Potatoes, carrots, onions, beets in the ground. I live a quiet life, at times yearning for the old world of convenience and entertainment, but I know this ...is..it. This is what nourishes my spirit and what I will remember when I am old.

@onjolo_kenya Went outside, observed nature and did what my body felt like doing. Usually climbing trees, riding horses, reading books watching the sky, riding a bike.

People who grew up without smartphones: WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU WOKE UP ?

@karunpal It's not lonely for me. I get lit and converse with the plant world, birds, animals and the the magic alll around me. I paint, listen to music, make music, make beautiful offerings to spirit and sleep really well. It's all about conjuring, exploration, and forgiveness.

Intelligent people struggle with addiction. Their minds need more. They have obsessions nobody around them shares. Philosophy. Astronomy. Dostoevsky. Jazz. Quantum physics. Things they know deeply. Things they've gone so deep into that anything else feel like small talk. And small talk feels like suffocation. So... they drink. Work until 2 am. Doomscroll until they're numb. Because there is a gap. A gap between who you are and the conversations available to you. And it's one of the loneliest places a person can live.

@homemakinghunny Come to northern bc!!!

Where are the women who want to get together for tea parties, thrifting dates, nature walks, exercise classes, helping each other the garden while the kids play in the yard, hanging with our families together? Where are they? This is what I need.

I chose a quiet life of gardening, tending animals and learning self sustainability...at times I questioned my choices... These days I'm sure happy to have 10 years of gardening and homesteading experience under my belt. My steadfastness is paying off.

@SassyE Yup. Believe in yourself and others. We come together quite nicely in disaster slash collapse situations in my experience. I'm so thankful this is my chosen life and not a reaction to current affairs.

Buy extra rice. Get sewing kits. Go to neighborhood meetings. Learn about your local farms. Study herbalism. Get a deep freezer. Invest in portable chargers and solar stations. Get your house in order. If you need your hand held to not freeze, ask for help.

Sound on. The Sandhill Cranes have arrived. It is officially spring 54 degrees north.

I hope you have community during these rough times. I hope your able to hug someone you love and weep or laugh while sharing food. Things are about get real real tough. Strengthen your mutual aid networks folks!!

@raulcontev 25 years with my love. How ? We make art, music and gardens together, travel, laugh and celebrate our sacred union daily. We like eachother. Autonomy is a key element as well, but having joint adventures in creativity has been our glue.

@s_m_marandi I am shook, to my core. Solidarity from so called canada.

Western media and Western regimes are completely silent. The human rights industry was always fake.

@thebiologistisn I have a 3000 sq ft veggie garden, 11 6x5 foot beds for medicinal herbs, raise pigs and chickens for meat and eggs, forage berries etc and wild meat. I have just 108 frost free days. I still have lots of preserves, squash, onion, potatoes and carrots but this isn't enough for 2.

Someone was asking how much garden to plant to feed three people. Let's do some calculations. In my most productive year, I grew ½ gallons of dry beans on a 10 ft long trellis. A half gallon of dry beans weighs roughly 3.5 lbs.

Plant garden if your able, but for many folks your might be better off getting to know your local csa farmers, beekeepers, herbalists and build community with them. This year is my 14th garden and I'm still learning so much. These things take time. I start planning in December..

@exiledarizona Submission hold was so rad.

Help; anyone remember that hardcore punk band from Canada late 90s. Not Godspeed, not submission hold.

@exiledarizona Moral Panic ?

@nateobrienn I moved back to BC from east coast, because of tick. I lost my mind and got bit so many times. Thankfully no Lyme. I can roll around in the woods here and feel happy. The weather., is just making it worse. We need cold winters.

We need to eradicate the ticks Not enough people are talking about this It’s becoming an epidemic

Skills are more valuable than hoarding food and gas.

@RnaudBertrand It is daunting but very possible with planning and basic knowledge. I live in a 108 day frost free growing season and can supplement my chickens with fast growing crops and all our table scraps. Our ancestors did without oil. Mass production will fail but small scale will thrive.

Was discussing tonight with a friend of mine who is in the business of chicken food (as in the food you feed chicken). One of the largest such businesses out there. Turns out, chickens quite literally eat oil: chicken feed requires methionine, a key amino acid produced with sulfur - itself extracted as a byproduct of oil refinement. And so, as a direct consequence of the oil shock, there's now apparently major issues in the poultry industry. Really insane to think about how deep the consequences of Trump's war on Iran go (and how dependent on oil we are): even chickens will go hungry globally because of this, and humans will inevitably follow...
