Affordability keeps getting dismissed as a “hoax,” yet more people are worried about food, housing, and basic survival than ever. This piece looks honestly at how we got here and what real community care can look like when the safety net is under attack. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/affordability-crisis-community-building

The Affordability Crisis Isn't A “Hoax”—And There's Hope In Community

Mutual aid, bartering, and building community no matter where you live in these trying times.

Happy Birthday, ihr Osterkinder!

Vor zwei Jahren fanden wir ein echtes "Osternest": bei Familie Ostermann! Drei gleichzeitig schwangere Osterfrauen bescherten uns reichlichen Babykaninchensegen. Eine langfristige Herausforderung, denn natürlich war sofort klar: alle werden für immer hier und zusammen bleiben.
