Collective of 5 non-binary/queer folks growing plants, foraging, and farming in so-called Rhode Island.

Experimenting and building toward ecological futures. Solarpunk, cottagecore, goblincore vibes.

Post civ, anti-civ, anarchist, communist, democratic socialist tendencies. We really run the gambit of anti-capitalist thought as a group and are mostly just trying to live day to day and connect with neighbors and the earth.

Toots by Connor (he/they)

Is "AI" overrated when people describe it as this world changing force? Should we be strongly boycotting AI?

Nuts & Bolts Foraging Troupe wants to read This is where you belong
This is where you belong - BookWyrm

<p>"How we come to feel at home in our towns and cities is what Warnick sets out to discover in This Is Where You Belong. She dives into the body of research around place attachment--the deep sense of connection that binds some of us to our cities and increases our physical and emotional well-being--then travels to towns across America to see it in action. Inspired by a growing movement of placemaking, she examines what its practitioners are doing to create likeable locales. She also speaks with frequent movers and loyal stayers around the country to learn what draws highly mobile Americans to a new city, and what makes us stay. The best ideas she imports to her adopted hometown of Blacksburg for a series of Love Where You Live experiments designed to make her feel more locally connected. Dining with her neighbors. Shopping Small Business Saturday. Marching in the town Christmas parade. Can these efforts make a halfhearted resident happier? Will Blacksburg be the place she finally stays? What Warnick learns will inspire you to embrace your own community--and perhaps discover that the place where you live right now ... is home."--Jacket.</p>

Nuts & Bolts Foraging Troupe wants to read Angrynomics
Angrynomics - BookWyrm

Why are measures of stress and anxiety on the rise when economists and politicians tell us we have never had it so good? While statistics tell us that the vast majority of people are getting steadily richer, the world most of us experience day in and day out feels increasingly uncertain, unfair, and ever more expensive. In Angrynomics, Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world. Angrynomics is for anyone wondering, where the hell do we go from here?

If a ship is sinking, would you look to the crew for help or the person who runs the book club? As extreme weather events unfold, maybe we should get on the leadership of community groups, coach youth sports teams, learn how to work a chainsaw, and overall focus on building the respect, trust, and skills that communities will look to for help

5 Ways Permaculture Must Change

For permaculture to meet its potential, I believe these things must change. This list isn't meant to be comprehensive. It's just five things that I tend to notice often.

One of the biggest joys for me as an adult is doing the things that my parents did for me as a kid, which made me so happy, and now doing those things for myself whenever I need to <3 #kindness #selflove
