  1. In the real world

    We're not dealing with abstract “community dynamics.” we're dealing with live-aboard boaters under pressure, rowers, landowners, council, Environment Agency and scarcity of space (moorings). This in the end is about visibility vs invisibility on the river, so friction isn’t theoretical - it’s structural. Let's look at the conflict patterns we’re seeing: Back-channel poisoning (#whispers #splitting) “X group are the problem”, “They’ve already decided this”, “Don’t […]

  4. #OMN Grounding (the roots as a story)

    #techchurn is the endless cycle of adopting new platforms, tools, and technologies - not because they solve any real problems, but because novelty is mistaken for progress. It burns community trust, institutional memory, and activist energy, while leaving the underlying #nastyfew power structures untouched.https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=techchurn The #OMN uses #stupidindividualism to describe the culturally manufactured habit of prioritising personal gain and self-interest over collective […]

  7. Disciplined curiosity beats IQ, Oxford

    There is a persistent myth pushed in our culture that intelligence - high IQ, academic credentials, elitist education - leads naturally to clear thinking. My organic experience suggests the opposite, what matters is disciplined, skeptical, freethinking curiosity. Without that, intelligence simply becomes a tool for defending whatever assumptions people already hold. This is one of the reasons many academic environments produce people who are, bluntly, credulous. Not because they lack […]

  8. Actually solving things, and why this matters for #OMN

    Activism has a reputation problem, in default #mainstreaming storytelling it’s painted as chaos, absence, or naive idealism. But if you look at what activists at best actually do, a different picture emerges: a long tradition of people working out, in practice, how to solve real problems together without relying on distant authority. And that’s the bit most people quietly skip. In most social/political movements, the hard questions - how we organise, decide, share resources, resolve […]

  13. Beware of "compostable" products that aren't actually compostable at home. In digging through my compost pile this week I unearthed 3 forks (from takeout food I purchased several years ago) that I think were made by the California-based company, Karat Earth (aka Lollicup). On Amazon and elsewhere the sentence the company uses in marketing is "simply toss the fork into a compost bin when finished." And the forks themselves have the text, "compostable" embossed on them. On company's own website, however, is a logo from the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) indicating, in a small font, that forks are "commercially compostable only," which means they only begin to break down at ~190 °F (88 °C). Somebody needs to file a class-action lawsuit to force greater transparency on marketing materials. #compost #composting #fork #takeout #food #psa #plastic #restaurants #greenwashing #polymer #corn #bioplastic

  14. [Thread] So, hubby did some research and discovered that an odious #SiliconValley group [#OpenPhilanthropy] has been bashing #Hannaford. While #HannafordSupermarkets aren't perfect, they are very inclusive and welcoming to #GBLTQ folks, donate #Food to #FoodBanks, and make sure any #FoodWaste becomes #compost or #AgroEnergy.

    "Open Philanthropy, previously called the #OpenPhilanthropyProject, is a left-of-center funding group founded in 2016 by political donor #CariTuna and Facebook co-founder #DustinMoskovitz. It is the sister fundraising organization of the Open Philanthropy Action Fund (#OPAF), a nonprofit advocacy group.

    The similarly named Open Philanthropy Project Fund (#OPPF) is a donor-advised fund associated with the Open Philanthropy Project and hosted by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation."

  15. As #NewHampshire summers grow drier, farmers evolve to cope

    by Molly Rains, September 8, 2025 at 5:00 AM EDT

    Excerpt: "Some more analog farming techniques are also crucial for drought resilience, Mathur said. A foundational element of soil health is related to how much organic material it contains, a measure boosted by additives like #compost, #manure, or #CoverCrops. In addition to adding nutrients to the soil, these materials also cling to water, helping keep soil damp and cool in times of limited rainfall, she said.

    "Once organic materials are present in the soil, they can be retained for longer with methods like #NoTill farming or #ReducedTill farming, in which farmers refrain as much as possible from plowing their fields. Chewing up a field before planting a crop adds air to the soil, fueling the decomposition of the important organic matter within, Delisle said. While no-till and reduced-till farming isn’t a good fit for every crop, he added, many New Hampshire farmers have had success using the method with the common local crops of corn and pumpkins.

    "Preserving the organic matter in New Hampshire’s soil is important not only in times of drought but also, Delisle said, in times of heavy rain and flooding, when farm equipment can compress fields. This compacts the soil and makes it less hospitable to plants.

    " 'Soils with higher organic matter in them have the capacity to spring back once they’re pressed down, and that’s an important factor in the resiliency of that soil,' Delisle said."

  20. The End of the “Peace Dividend” and the Return of History

    #Identitypolitics, is what happens when liberalism turns inward and fragments - call it mad liberalism. #Culturewar is what happens when that same liberalism hardens and lashes out - bad liberalism. Both look like opposites, but they come from the same place. The uncomfortable part is both were pushed onto the "left" as the way to fight #neoliberalism the very system that’s been tearing apart the social fabric for decades. Instead of building collective power, we pushed endless identity […]

  21. In the real world

    We're not dealing with abstract “community dynamics.” we're dealing with live-aboard boaters under pressure, rowers, landowners, council, Environment Agency and scarcity of space (moorings). This in the end is about visibility vs invisibility on the river, so the friction isn’t theoretical - it’s structural. Let's look at the common conflict patterns we’re already seeing: Back-channel poisoning (#whispers #splitting) “X group are the problem”, “They’ve already decided […]
