Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #bioregional, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #30daymapchallenge Day 27 "Boundaries": imagining a North America with countries, states, and counties replaced by nested watersheds at multiple scales. I used data from the CEC's North American Environmental Atlas to map the major watersheds of North America using a color palette, text style, and overall aesthetic inspired by 1950s era political maps.

  2. A little #thread about two subjects near and dear to me: #Bioregional #Planning, and #PublicLands

    First off, to understand what’s going on with #demographic #migrant #trends in the #usa I’d encourage everyone to read “The Great Displacement: #ClimateChange and the Next #American Migration,” by Jake Bittle. Check the #map below to orient yourself to the #issue.

  3. One of my goals is to localize my #Mexican #cooking - instead of importing a bunch of stuff that goes into "real" #MexicanFood, especially during the winter, I want to get better at working with what grows here in the #PNW. Winter squashes; mushrooms; leeks; pears and apples; fiddleheads; salmon; even localized veggies from other cultures like #Chinese or #Japanese veggies.

    Anyone have any inspiration or #recipes?

  4. You've heard of the 100 mile diet, but what about the 100 mile house? Steven Martyn, author of The Roundhouse, tells me all about Bioregional Building and more on this week's episode of Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast.

  5. I make my own incense to use and sell in my shop. While I usually gather plants, berries and resins for this specific purpose, it is also a good use for the bits of plant material left over from other uses. It is respectful of the plant to use all the parts you have gathered and not waste anything. I use both wild and garden herbs, flowers, bark, resin, leaves and stalks. I use pine, fir, spruce, cedar, bark, cones, leaves and resin. I use flowers such as yarrow, lavender, rose and clover. I add crushed berries such as saskatoons, mahonia or elderberry as well as honey and mead for binding. Making my own incense 2 or 3 times per year is intensely satisfying and a spiritual way to honour the land. It is also a great alternative to buying incense and resins from countries on the other side of the world that are often from endangered species or exploited sources. While I do have a few from other places I have visited, namely Glastonbury, I use them only for very special occasions as I won't be replacing them when they run out. I was inspired by the Glastonbury incenses from Star Child (they use local ingredients) and the scent takes me right back to the Red Spring. I've now created new scent memories with my own blends used for special ceremonies and rituals right here.

  6. @jodmentum Thanks. I'm interested in all of this. My feeling is that the finances behind all of this will quickly eclipse what any one municipality or planning board can address. We're going to need a regional / bioregional approach. The way individual states came together during the pandemic to create "cross border bioregional treaties" (my phrase) is a good example. I think FEMA is too high level, and I think the UN is too general.

  7. I never posted an #introduction after migrating a couple weeks ago, so here goes:

    I’m a home cook, amateur #foodhistory and #ecology/#sustainability researcher, and nascent blogger (URL in profile) interested in #vegan cooking and #bioregional/#local cuisines, as well as #rawfood, #fermentation, #foraging, #staplefoods, #bulkfoods, and #zerowaste. Also curious about how food culture gets mediated through print, digital, and manuscript mediums. However, my interests (+ideals) exceed my reality!
