Unsolicited advice
1. Realize that it's kinda all of a piece. Send money, protest, vote. But rest is also activism in its place.
2. Go sit in the shade and sip foraged tea with a friend. No tea? water is good. It doesn't have to be beer or pop, right?

Modern World Needs Older Myths
People think atheists want to erase faith and leave behind a void but atheists actually want to fill that space with human connection and a deeper appreciation for the world. To reject the supernatural is to scrub the world clean of ghosts, ghouls, monsters and gods, leaving behind a landscape governed entirely by verifiable and quantifiable data. Or that's what we're told. But this is a misunderstanding. You do not need to believe in the literal existence of a village deity or a cosmic […]https://ridiculousbharath.wordpress.com/2026/06/24/modern-world-needs-older-myths/

When McDonald's isn't selling literal 💩 to its customers, Apple takes over with its cancer-exposing products. Perhaps don't buy crappy things from greedy corporations, just a suggestion.

The gift economy predates commerce — voluntary connection without ledgers or calendar mandates. Then marketing discovered it could sell obligation back to us as tradition.
Christmas gatherings reveal what persists underneath: candies made by hand, genuine listening, rare moments when someone actually wants to know what you think.
Not scheduled. Not obligatory. Just real.

#Solarpunk: Off the grid and into the future- Inside the movement transforming #ClimateAction
by Ebin Gheevarghese, 28/11/2025
"The dominant narrative of our time scrolls endlessly toward catastrophe, each headline a confirmation that we’re locked into systems designed to fail, but #solarpunk emerges as something different entirely: a movement blending art, literature, activism, and tangible real-world projects that dares to ask not 'what’s the worst that could happen?' but rather 'what’s the best we can actually build?'
"At its core, solarpunk envisions a world reorganized around #RenewableEnergy, genuine #cooperation, and #SustainableDesign that doesn’t sacrifice beauty or dignity in the process. The key themes include #AntiConsumerism, #CommunityAction, #localism, and what activists call #PrefigurativePolitics, which is essentially the idea that we should live the change we wish to see starting immediately, not someday when conditions magically align.
"The 'punk' in solarpunk carries real weight. The movement is fundamentally #countercultural, resisting both technological determinism and the business-as-usual [#BAU] thinking that’s driving us toward ecological #collapse. Solarpunk centers #decolonial values, #PostCapitalist ideals, and genuine #SelfSufficiency rather than the performative sustainability of #CorporateGreenwashing."

CW: rehaciendo mi presentación en aspañol
soy una chica trans vegana, neurodivergente, furry gatuna que se dedica a la administración de sistemas y algo de desarrollo web.
uso pronombres ella/suya/de ella/la. soy demiromántica, aegosexual y poly. a veces publico cosas estando cachonda o de coña (depende de la alieación de planetas).
me siento apreciada cuando la gente interactua conmigo directamente en vez de yo tener que tomar la iniciativa.
como digo arriba, soy vegana. si vas a justificar cosas como la mutilación genital incondicional u otras prácticas no éticas contra individuos de otras especies, cállate, ve al rincón y piensa sobre tu mierda de vida.
tengo opiniones duras respecto a la eficiencia y uso equipamiento de bajos recursos. soy minimalista porque sí y porque me ayuda con el déficit de atención. odio el consumismo y todo lo derivado del mismo.
así que, si vas a hablarme de tu nuevo pc, de los 2 tb que tienes en tu pc ocupados con 100 peliculas podrí'as, los 1000 juegos que tienes en steam y no juegas, tus servidores en producción comprados con la pasta que te sobra y la mierda de movil que te compraste para jugar a videojuegos, múdate a /dev/null

Gen Z Women Are Booking Convents Instead of Beach Houses This Summer
That’s not hyperbole. Monasteries and convents are now seeing waitlists as young women line up for a kind of stillness that’s hard to come by elsewhere. No phones buzzing, no endless notifications, and definitely no small talk. Instead, many are spending their days tending gardens, attending prayer services, and catching up with themselves.

Me (shopping around on #LexCorp): Mmm, this 12oz #YerbaMate gourd I got is just way too big. I can never finish it in a day. Oh, this 8oz one looks really nice! It's only $9!
*POOF* A winged, portly lady wearing sweatpants and a hoodie appears amidst a shimmering blue light, hovering in my room. She is holding a magic wand, which may actually be a miniature magical rubber stress-relieving mallet.
Me: "WHO ARE YOU?!?"
ACFG: "Why silly Dane, I'm your anti-consumerist fairy godmother!"
Me: "Anti-Consumerist Fairy Godmother!?"
ACFG: "Yes, but you don't have to capitalize my name. I'm chill."
Me: "Oh. Well, hi, anti-consumerist fairy godmother. What do you want??"
ACFG: "To bop you on your cute little forehead and to remind you that you don't HAVE to buy a new mate, you can just pour in less yerba, you lunkhead!"
*BONK!*
The world goes dark for a moment. Feeling slightly dizzy, I open my eyes. I close the amazon window and go on about my day.

CW: US pol, economics, consumerism
More seriously, we do need to get away from #consumerism and the current economic model that demands we buy and discard constantly without any thought to the environmental impacts of such a system, but the #TrumpTariffs aren't the way. Transitioning to a more equitable, just, and environmentally sustainable #economy would involve raising wages, decreasing the length of the work week, making housing and #UniversalHealthcare human rights, and investing in #PublicTransit and #PublicHealth, among other improvements. It would be a commitment to a slower and more meaningful way of life that doesn't require us to constantly consume out of convenience because we're just so busy working all the damn time. The #tariffs are not doing that—they're wrecking the global economy and will leave poverty and suffering in their wake for people in the US and around the world.

When my clothes become too tired to be worn when going out, some of them are assigned to gardening duties.
The T-shirt in this photograph, frayed and with holes, must be around 15 years old. Not as old as I thought, in fact. A (now gardening) fleece is still in much better condition than this T-shirt and must be nearly 30 years old. Clothes do keep a long time.
I suspect that I would not feature in an industrialist's wet dream.
❓What do you all wear for gardening ❓

Have you ever thought that the shift away from eating less processed fruits and veggies might also be tied to the "value add" that processed foods provide from an economics perspective? Anyone can grow a vegetable but not everyone can make a patented processed food. Start making hot dogs from carrots grown in your own garden (delicious, BTW) instead of processed alternatives, and corporations would lose more control they have over our lives.
Be a rebel; grow a garden!

Salon: Gen Z is “de-influencing” on social media. “Influencer marketing is one of the most popular strategies brands use to reach their target audiences and promote their products. For example, Fenty Beauty collaborated with influencers like Jackie Aina and Duckie Thot to showcase its inclusive range of foundation, and Gymshark teamed up with fitness influencers like Whitney Simmons and David […]

Normalize #anticonsumerism by saying your old electronics are covered with #patina
Broken screen? That's patina babe.
Out of #fashion #design? Yup. That's also patina.Start feeling good about your environmental choices! Patina is luxurious and is something to be proud of. It can't be faked.
Even cheap things become luxurious when they age - they pass the survivorship bias filter. They must have been exceptional to survive, even if they were low end back then.
Keep your stuff as long as possible. Embrace #patina and show off your old stuff with the #patina hashtag!
