#wellbriety — Public Fediverse posts

I'm leading Healthy Forest Revival, a Wellbriety-focused project for Spring 2026 in Forest Grove, OR and would love any locals from #Portland metro, #Hillsboro, #Beaverton, etc to join me. I want to build in my yard, infrastructure that can foster Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and help our community with the pending crisis in our food system. I want to foster TEK without corporate social media.

The project is backed by Ecosteader & Company, my B Corp for Public Benefit which I registered w/the State of Oregon several years ago: EIN 834448850.

Ecosteader has never fundraised, sold any plant, product, or other good or service as a B Corp. During COVID pandemic times, I spent TWO SUMMERS on the reservation for the Navajo Nation, growing corn and conversing with survivors of the Residential School system. This was unpaid work, the woman whose field I helped tend: Marlene Frank, passed away a couple of years ago. The two years of work meant I experienced a significant decline in life savings and subsequently, when Meta's college dropout CEO stalked me both onto Mastodon AND HE STALKED ME PERSONALLY IRL AT MY HOME, I decided to step away from the tech side of Ecosteader, and to instead focus on my well-being.

Now as I approach the 10th year of recovery-related growth in the region I live in the #PNW, I am restless to do more. Several weeks ago I submitted an application to Adelante Mujeres which is our local Wednesday afternoon and evening Farmer's Market. I don't wanna do this by myself!

At the farmer market, we can grow food, do consignment art, and (yes) finally make money to pay off the mortgage. The deed for the property free of bank encumbrances will be carefully prayed upon, but we're not there yet. It is MUCH EASIER to give #LandBack when there is no house or other permanent dwelling on the land... but it's not impossible!

So that is my open invitation. I gotta get moving on turning vision for Ecosteader & Company HQ IRL into reality. But I do not want it to be **mine** alone. One of the things I miss most about my Intel job was working with people, but I do not like to ask for the help of experts without being able to compensate them.

I am, unapologetically, about as opposite of that selfish narcissist running Meta platforms as you can get, I WANT to give equitable options to people that I work with.

We can do a YouTube channel if that is something people want to use to showcase knowledge, but be aware that I will not be talking to any cameras.

Let's build out an amazing #hydroponics system this season. Let's get some of the amazing native plants new homes.

You can email me your story, your offers, your ideas, but PLEASE know that I will make everyone we work with SIGN a contract that states if you bring

❌ ANY phone with any Meta-owned apps or
❌ ANY smart glasses or
❌ ANY the hateful narcissist's apps or tools to the project site in a desperate attempt to harass me or put a camera on my body? to get "reactions"?

YOU WILL BE FINANCIALLY LIABLE just as college dropout CEO should be financially liable for stalking me in 2024.

Please email me if you want to participate in the project, tell me your story why you want to work or do art or (possibly) camp here. I am especially interested in fostering people who share my values about TEK, tech, and whatnot.

#Wellbriety

Setting Boundaries in Tech, an Elder's Opinion

If someone seeks out advice about something like say ... potty training, a fussy toddler, disciplining teenagers? Their best route is to go find a knowledgeable #grandmother who has already raised several kiddos and probably helped raise several grandchildren. There was one such woman at the #Wellbriety conference I attended in #Portland a number of weeks ago. She and I had lunch and a really good discussion about her presentation which was:

"Setting Healthy Boundaries in Relationships" Sheryl Whitehawk -- look it up.

Now, if that same person is seeking advice about something like... phone settings for increased safety of those same children or grandchildren? A grandmother whose specialty is child rearing is NOT their best bet. They should go seek out someone who worked in the technology sector, who does not actively profit on phone tracking, re-selling pictures as pornography to sex-addicted Israelis, they should go find someone who has as much experience with tech as the grandmothers have with the kids. They will NOT find those people in their stock market bubbled "social media".

They should go find a #TechElder. Older and smarter and more experienced than that college dropout CEO will ever be. He wants people stuck and in that vacuum where they never realize how abused they are being. I have EMPLOYMENT in several tech companies, startups, big corps, pro-bono clients. I know what I am talking about having worked shoulder-to-shoulder with the very people attempting to mitigate those mistakes exploiting clueless grandmothers.

When that sociopath running Meta decides he's bored of watching Palestinian kids and their pet cats get blown up and starving to death? When his apathetic soulless dead eyes decide he can make a bank broadcasting terrorism via his "smart glasses" to his hate-filled white supremacist 100 percent nazi fascist platform?

He will start killing the natives on Turtle Island in as brutal and public manner as possible, same as Drumpf is attempting to do in #Venezuela. Did you all know that Venezuela [was one of the very first countries] to adopt #Bitcoin as a currency? Back in 2021. This is what he fears... people other than him having economic power.

IT ABSOLUTELY DOES MATTER WHAT FUCKING PLATFORM YOU USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE. It matters as much as it matters what language you use to write a software program. It matters as much as each and every heartbeat at #StandingRock and as much as every MMIP who was was sold and stalked to their death via their accelerometer. FIND A NATIVE TECH AND LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY.

Some doomers continually push the narrative that the platform does not matter, just the content. What people say is more important than who is controlling the platform But you are completely WRONG. Stop looking at the INPUT people put on the platforms that are controlled by Nazis as being able to save "Democracy" or "change the world". Wipe those facebook share links OFF YOUR SITES.

Unfettered white supremacy is what we got with all your "social movements" and "mutual aid fairs started as Facebook stories".

Do not allow Facebook's CEO's apps into your boundaries. That is the only way to set a healthy boundary. The sneering teenager has never had a good intention in his apathetic life.
