Re-reading "#UtopianSocialism - Its History Since 1800" by #LeoLoubere (published in 1974). In particular, chapter 6, which deals with "experimental communities" and why they fail -- citing #Capitalism, lack of practical knowledge, and how cooperation and #MutualAid were needed for communities to survive. And also how defense (against others, protecting crops, etc.), and leaders who aren't forceful are also necessary.

Ahhhh. And some truly lighter reading. The last printed issue of the Farmer's Almanac (in print since 1818). I will miss their tips and tricks as well as topics like natural pest control, #Hygge, herbs of the month, how to make #Switchel, and #Gardening tips. I noticed they also acknowledged #ClimateChange and #WeatherExtremes, and highlighted #EmergencyPreparedness.

There is a major storm headed to the DMV.
Right now:
• Charge your devices
• Turn on weather alerts
• Identify a safe interior room
• Gather a few basics - flashlight, medications, water, and a portable charger
If a tornado warning is issued in your area, move to the lowest level possible and away from windows.
Stay aware, check on your neighbors if you can, and take care of each other today and every day. 😊💖

I spent some time deep diving "emergency/disaster preparedness in case of war" and basically the only advice I was able to find in books and online was: "don't be where there is war - GTFO".
