"...mankind is solving its economic problem. I would predict that the standard of life in progressive countries one hundred years hence will be between four and eight times as high as it is... assuming no important wars and no important increase in population, the economic problem may be solved, or be at least within sight of solution, within a hundred years."

🤞 The tomorrow I manage to get some re-writing and consolidation of some of the main bulk of the concept descriptions.

This.

This is why I focus on food.

This is why I'm building apparatus and infrastructure for me and my neighbors to have free food. Post-scarcity food.

It isn't "being kind". It isn't "out of the goodness of my heart" or "altruism". Or any other dismissive infantilization. (I do care. People should be kind. We *can* take care of each other out of love and support and we should! But I fucking hate that dismissive bullshit attitude from folks who idealize greed and power and oppression).

I build mutual aid to remove the leverage of those that exploit and harm others.

Here is a perfect example of what I am fighting: ICE is using starving kids - a situation they and the people that deploy them have intentionally created - to kidnap and exploit kids.

If everyone was fed, they couldn't use this leverage. (If everyone had universal healthcare, corporations would lose one more means of exploitation. Et cetera, et al.)

Food is power dynamics.
To be fed is to be free.

From the foreword: "Today, Respecting Our Elders is an all-volunteer nonprofit with no paid staff and an annual budget of just $25,000. Yet it distributes $4-5 million in food annually."

Partial list of what I've seen, last 2 (ie, Christmas and New Year's) weeks (remember, the volunteers pick up food from grocery stores etc EVERY DAY except Christmas Day and I think Thanksgiving Day), so I only see a fraction:

Avocados. Fresh organic herbs (tarragon, basil, mint, marjoram). Organic mandarin oranges. Guavas, starfruit, papayas. Precut fruit trays. Lots of sushi (a friend says, "Lots of people want hot food in winter, but sushi's cold"). Fancy mushrooms in gorgeous condition (oyster, lion's mane, maitake, shitaake). Diestel brand turkeys, both cooked and raw. Candy canes, trays of stuffing, tubs of ready-made gravy. Eggs (free range & organic), milk, yogurt, ice cream, nondairy frozen treats.

Of all the distorted realities produced by the irrational thought and behavior that now define so-called “modern” culture, nothing is more disturbing than the realization that our dominant mode of survival—economic survival—is rooted in what may be the most dangerous pseudoscience ever created: markets.

I’ve been drifting in and out of Peter Joseph’s work ever since I first saw The Zeitgeist Movement documentary, and around the same time I discovered the Venus Project and the wild‑genius ideas of Buckminster Fuller. Those visions of a resource‑based, collaborative future stuck with me, and they keep feeling as urgent today as they did back then.

Episode 56 “The Capitalist Roots of War” dives deep into why the current market‑driven system breeds conflict, inequality, and environmental collapse, and it sketches how a community‑built, post‑scarcity economy could start to replace it.

If you care about these issues, give the episode a listen (or skim the transcript). Have a nice long walk or the treadmill and let the conversation spark some fresh thinking. 🖖

That's GREAT NEWS, @tinker !!! Thank you for sharing!

#solarPunk #solarPunkSunday
#freeFridge #foodSecurity #postScarcity #mutualAid

We did it!!!

We built a new free fridge and community pantry!

It took about a hundred days from deciding to do it, through planning, and finally execution (thread above tracks this). And that is for putting down concrete and electrical. If we did a simple fridge on a pallet, it can be quicker. But even going all out, dang!

So we held the ribbon cutting ceremony. A lot of folks showed up to do the initial stock. Now we'll maintain it and spread the word out to the community. The town has a food resource app. The library maintains a list. I'll add it to our site. The local paper is writing an article.

This is also just the first part of this fridge. They're adding another pantry and an awning to cover it all.

Alright. This one is done. On to the next one!

#solarPunk #solarPunkSunday #freeFridge #foodSecurity #postScarcity #mutualAid

Here's some picture's for the concrete slab and electrical outlets for the new Free Fridge in town!

Note: Free fridges don't usually require this level of installation. As long as the fridge has power and a place to sit (even if its on a used pallet), thats good enough.

This church was given a donation with the stipulation that it go to serving the local community, and they decided to install a free fridge and put some infrastructure and accessibility behind it.

@tinker Tagging this thread for #SolarPunkSunday ! #MutualAid #FreeFridge #FoodScarcity #FoodSecurity #SolarPunk #PostScarcity

Update on the new Free Fridge and Community Pantry in town!

They've completed the electrical work and are laying a concrete slab today. They're also bringing in a person to build out a pantry and paint a mural on it.

We have a ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for December 7th where folks will bring shelf stable food and fresh produce to add to the first stocking of the fridge!

Note: this site really wanted to go all in. You really only need electrical and something to put the fridge on (minimum concrete blocks or a pallet). But these folks decided to put donated funds to it as they are focused on serving the community.

I'll post pictures of the ribbon cutting ceremony!

Also also! Two other sites have expressed interest in hosting a free fridge now that they've heard about this one! Once you build the first one, subsequent ones become easier!

Lettuce Wall Thread

Wood is stained and ready to assemble!

I've started to mount the T8 LED Grow Light strips. I'm putting two T8s on each shelf. I have left space to put a single T5 or T8 in the middle in the future if I need more light. But two T8s should be plenty.

(Note how long its been since my last update. It takes me a while to complete projects for a variety of reasons. I still work on them though even if they take a while. I complete as much as I'm able at any given time knowing that when I'm able to work on it in the future, I will. I have no set schedule and I am forgiving and easy on myself. It will get done. In its own time.)

6.9: There's More to Explore: Diving Deeper Into Fully Automated! a Solarpunk RPG, With Andy Gross

Due to personal issues, Christina couldn't take part in the original interview with Andy Gross about the solarpunk role playing game Fully Automated! that made up S6E2. But she had questions. In this episode, she had a chance to ask them. Before you grab your dice and download the game (for free!) at https://fullyautomatedrpg.com/ have a listen!

This is an amazing concept....

Open Sourced "3D Printed" Pharmaceuticals

Build your own pill printing machine. Feed it an open sourced "recipe" / medical chemical compound instruction. Add some base ingredients. And make your own medicine.

This is an exceedingly solarpunk idea and could be a core aspect of a post-scarcity world as it relates to healthcare.

They have information about abortion medication (Misoprostol), ADHD medication (Vyvance), and more.

There are obvious issues - especially around quality control, safety, effectiveness, and application. And the makers address this - but wow. Just wow.

I very specifically have not verified any of this. But I'm incredibly interested in diving in and learning about it and its feasibility.

The anarchist collective behind this venture, Four Thieves Vinegar Collective (@4thievesvinegar), spoke at this last DefCon 32. See @mixael's talk here (via Peertube): https://kolektiva.media/w/uvD1wWTRoh7HEto8zeSswr

Here is a @404mediaco article by @jasonkoebler : https://www.404media.co/right-to-repair-for-your-body-the-rise-of-diy-pirated-medicine/

Here is their main website: https://fourthievesvinegar.org

Here is are the open sourced instructions (along with parts list - both purchased and off the shelf along with 3D printed parts): https://github.com/FourThievesVinegar/solderless-microlab

Definitely something to follow and learn more about. I'm excited and hope this is effective and grows.

(HT @aeischeid for highlighting the article and HT my dear friend for telling me about it after going to their DefCon talk!)
