  • Mutual aid will be more important than ever, join and build up your local groups if you’re able, it will pay off in dividends in the coming years.

    This election has only proven how electoralism cannot be relied upon, it’s just us now. We need to build the world we want to live in, without corporate influence.

    • Search your local area + ‘mutual aid’.
    • Help your local food not bombs.
    • Create a worker owned cooperative with your friends if possible, or join an existing one.
    • Help spread the meshtastic network to build up communication resilience in your community.
    • Plant trees in your community to help reduce the heat island effect for the coming heatwaves.
    • Create or join a community garden near you to bolster food availability and foster connections with those around you.
    • engage in guerrilla urbanism, make your community safer to walk or bike
    • encourage your coworkers to unionize under the IWW, contact them for help on how to unionize your workplace.
    • vote in your local elections to try and have a state or city government that is less hostile to the above actions, but continue to build decentralized power independently of them regardless. Do not make the mistake of handing off the responsibility to make things better to them, it’s up to YOU, and your community, and hopefully other nearby communities doing the same, but that is all.

    We have tremendous collective power if we just use it, and hopefully this outcome will result in us coming together and building that world in the shell of the old. Collective solidarity is our only solution left.


  • If your state salts the roads in the winter, it’s strongly recommended to undercoat your vehicle with a coating to preserve it from rusting and shortening its useful life. Fluid Film is one of the better coatings, and is based on sheep lanolin, so it’s not toxic to the environment.

    4wheel drive is nice, but tires are EVERYTHING. You absolutely cannot rely on all season tires, you MUST get proper Winter tires if your region snows heavily, or you will have a bad time.

    There are now fabric snow ‘socks’ for cars that act like snow chains to get you out if a bind, which would be worth having in the trunk.

    In the winter, ALWAYS bring winter rated clothing in the car along with water, a small amount of food, heavy duty blanket, and a small liquid paraffin candle for heat in the event you get stuck in a storm, or go off the road from ice.




















  • Besides upgrading to an SSD like another person said, I guess an electronic pressure cooker was a pretty sweet upgrade. It’s incredibly multi purpose, cuts cooking time dramatically, allows me to walk away and forget about cooking with no consequence, and often only requires cleaning a single pot for an entire meal.

    Like ya know those old TV ads for kitchen gadgets that try desperately to convince you it’ll change your life, but you never actually use them? An electronic pressure cooker is one the few cooking gadgets that actually lives up to the hype.
