Mastodawn

deco Jun 4, 2024

Drove down to Northern Virginia for my Mom's birthday. Spent this afternoon having lunch with friends in Lake Anne Village, which is where I used to go to daycare when I was really little, and it's funny how much I remember of it. It looks almost exactly the same.

Right after my brother snapped this photo of me and my Mom, we noticed the sign we were sitting under, which talks about the history of this place, which is now a National Landmark (explaining how it still looks so much the same!), and then, just to the right (outside of photo) we realized is the entrance to the daycare center I attended! Under a new name, but still there. Pretty neat!

And now so happy to discover you are all on here, @gabi_cabana , @lucia_musu and @lorenzovelotti

I do think #Mastodon lends itself to #Commoning #Degrowth and to building a #TapestryOfAlternatives 😊

I just posted the #CommonGrounds project and video ⬆️ , really hope it will take off a bit here too

Here is a film they showed, a compilation of interviews with different #Community farmers across Europe. There is so much insight and wisdom in this. Perhaps my favourite was this, by a French farmer:

"For a community farm to succeed, it has to have roots, and it has to have wings"

A real highlight at yesterday's #Anthropology and #Degrowth workshop was a presentation by three brilliant #Barcelona MA students, on the #CommonGrounds project they launched. It maps and links together #CommunityFarming #Permaculture
#RegenerativeFarming projects across Europe

Please check it out and share, it's a really great #Commoning project
