Evie During EveningsI recently watched a video of a debt-free, waste-free evovillage... and it really got me thinking: what if we (collectively) move to somewhere like Denmark or Netherlands and setup a ecovillage for Trans or enby critters! There would be no rent or mortgages for our houses. We grow our own food, make our own hormones and is entirely self-sufficent! We don't answer to the outside government.; we would have (optinal) meetings to discuss policies that will be fair to everyone!
EveryLibraryThe library is empty, and you need to fill it. What's the first thing you do? Do you envision a building? A bookmobile? Maybe your library starts with a librarian on a laptop in a coffee shop. Maybe it’s a dirt circle in the park.

Bradley M. KühnHere's an #activism #ThoughtExperiment I've used for more than a decade to good effect for strategic planning:
Imagine: every person on Earth permanently goes on strike refusing to write any software not under a #copyleft license so all new software provides complete, Corresponding Source (#CCS) to consumers & users.
While unbridled capitalism makes universal #boycott unlikely, it's a matter of degree: one developer's strike *makes a linear difference*. I urge you to do it.
One of my tools of #activism to extensive use of thought experiments¹. Most are mere curiosities, but some I adapt into central strategies of #FOSS activism. I'm starting this long-standing thread to record my thought experiments. I warn you most will just be “potato chip” level ideas that are enjoyable as far as they go, but immediately forgettable. Every so often, one of them is truly fascinating and has power to guide important work.

Death care is one of humanity’s oldest traditions, yet technology, urban growth, and space exploration may dramatically reshape how we remember those passed away in the next hundred years.
