  2. One of my community building/education/sharing goals for next year is to teach more non-Asian locals a lot more about South East Asian food/herb/medicine crops, how to grow them here & how to cook/process/preserve & use them more for feeding your families, increasing your global culinary skills at home, learning how to use cultural food/medicine crops from Global South areas for Global North needs, right where we live, now.

  7. #StupidIndividualism is excessive individualism disconnected from community - and it sits at the root of many social problems.

    This is a part of the mess of liberalism and capitalism, where the balance between individual rights and community responsibilities has been lost.

    The #KISS composting is simple: we need to move beyond extreme individualism and rebuild a balance between individual freedom, community and collective action.

    We are social beings. Strong communities don't take freedom away - they give people the relationships and support needed to actually use it.

  12. Making #mainstreaming thinking dirty is part of the work. Metaphors like #deathcult and #stupidindividualism make the failures of mainstream thinking visible, and, hopefully, less attractive.

    But the metaphors only work if people use them together. We need affinity groups that turn shared language into shared action, building alternatives rather than just complaining about the mess.

    Culture changes when people organise, repeat the ideas, and build something different. Make the old thinking unattractive.

  17. There’s a strong need to stop complaining about the situation and start building alternatives.

    Metaphors and critiques should be rallying cries for action, not just more content. We need to move beyond criticism and do the hard, messy work of creating something better.

    That’s what #OMN is turning critique into constructive, community-based action.

    Stop complaining. Start building.

  22. Build affinity groups, communities that share critical views and are committed to building alternatives. #Hashtags help rally and connect people, but the real work is the relationships and actions we build together.

    The #OMN needs tangible projects — constructive, community-based alternatives that move beyond the failures of the past.

    Use shared metaphors and hashtags to galvanise people, but don't stop at posting. Turn critique into compost: something that can nourish new growth.

    The goal is simple: build real community, build alternatives, and grow something better together.

  27. I started this new women & free power tools beginner workshop after talking to several women in my neighbourhood who expressed a lot of interest in becoming more self sufficient. I don't like waiting for anyone else to take initiatives to get more community building work started. I spark many different grassroots initiatives & run with them.

  32. I'm contacting Shoreline, Colquitz & Esquimalt Middle schools in September, to ask if I can use their fields for free, to teach free mushrooms growing workshops & other free beneficial community resiliency/useful life-skills workshops. I need to acquire one popup event tent & one fold out table to run portable community educational workshops.

  37. Futures of Philanthropy

    medium.com/@FundAction/futures…

    There is no binary of good and evil approaches. It’s about embracing complexity, adapting to emerging contexts and centring those most marginalised based on a common good that serves just societies. Our task is now to ensure that ethics, processes and governance align toward just redistribution models. The future of philanthropy is about co-creating it with those who carry the weight of it today. This requires humility, solidarity and the courage to imagine beyond our own horizons toward futures that honour multiple pasts and presents.
