Language is the fabric of reality. I live in the central Colorado mountains with my spouse. No need to ask my name: respect and use the screen name, thanks. BTW, I am no typist..typo ergo sum.

Did they have internet for research purposes?

Lol

I am not looking at "pretty".

We have a few advantages today like better basic health and the ability to start small without starving to death....

But today's homesteaders have more support than the 19th century likely provided.

Mother Earth magazine is just one resource.

Depends on every individual situation, but it all "scales".

Start small, build up. It isn't drive through, or short attention span theater but it cam lower grocery costs, even if you cannot go fully self-sustaining.

Start with seeds, soil and three containers, if need be, but start!

And that's how you get started. Even if you cannot feed everyone with a harvest in a couple of years, you can build up your growing skills and might design a vertical garden space.

Soil testing kits, a small greenhouse with purchased or composted can remove many concerns over soil content.

I considered teaming up with others using the neighborhood's community gardens.

If everyone grew a different veg, trading or food boxes might be possible, eventually growing into a sustainable, neighborhood cooperative.

It is, at first.
Remember, everyone had to grow their food, before supermarkets.

Our nation has done a very good job making the populace skill-free and reliant on the very people causing suffering....

Well he can resign if he feels playing hardball isn't one of his natural proclivities.

We need militant representation from the Democrstic party, at ALL levels.

If you are not with the workers, get out of our way, right now.

Buycseeds for the holidays. Feed yourselves instead of the oligarchs running Amazon, Walmart, and Target, while ending your healthcare, your educational opportunities, and the social safety nets you paid for with your taxes.

A felon makes demands.

How in the world does anyone expect the very court system, that failed to jail Trump for his felonies, to protect the rights of average citizens?

This disconnect is huge and terrifying.

Cut in his state, first.

So, what happens when a "make my day" law meets masked ICE in a front yard owned, not rented, by the residents?

Everyday, this Republican administration steals our freedoms.

Remember...Trump is enacting policies that Republicans have dreamt of , for decades.

It's not just Trump!

Needs accessories...a pair of bracelets, shackles, an orange suit matching that "complexion", the Republican party, and the corruptions sitting on the Supreme court.

Makes that image complete...just sayin'

News Flash:
Convincing any person their gender identity or sexual orientation is wrong and renders them a flawed human is not free speech.

It is bigotry.

Now expressing bigoted opinions is free speech. But as soon as you take action, like conversion therapy, you leave the free speech zone.

Maybe cities should consider blasting ICE with punk rock and rap where ever they seek rest or privacy.

Deny them comfort in the most peaceful manner possible, but 24/7.

It should be "civil war".

Folk living where that surveillance is "everywhere" need to insist on changes.
Now, new homes have ring doorbells are already installed, meaning you'll have to be careful about how your children play and what they say, while in their own neighborhood.

Civil War is the label that comes to mind...
horrifiedharpy.bsky.social
Tell that to the Democratic Party.
horrifiedharpy.bsky.social
Because the courts who supposedly protect society from harm did not put this MF in jail when they should have.

We have been " on our own" the whole time.
horrifiedharpy.bsky.social
Well that freedom includes the right to not be burdened by the religions of others.
