He/Him Emergent, PhD student & Executive Director buildsoil.net Talks about Build Soil but this is a private account separate from the nonprofit. The Icon for the account is a hand drawn chestnut wrapped up in a ribbon with the words "Build Soil" on pink
The bottleneck is funding - Content & demonstration is what drives funding in social media spaces but a lot of that content will take time and focus to get to youtube, instagram, and our website. It's a vicious cycle that can be repaired. 1 person donating $1000 2 people $500 10, $100 50, $20
Since wrapping up the 18,000 chestnut growing and giveaway, the project has been back-burner and minimal i've been recording podcast interviews, looking for project partners, and running the minimum costs on funding fumes. There is a clear list of where I want to take this now that i have a site.
New pet peeve: people screenshotting the AI answer for a google search as if it meant anything.
And this is only the most on the nose example of what’s happening to the entire epistemological system as we continue in information storms
Margaret Morgan 🇪🇺🇳🇱🇦🇺@margaretmorgan.bsky.social · last wk.Is there anything that more exemplifies the anti-intellectualism of the current age? AI companies like Anthropic are buying rare books, breaking the spine to allow for fast scanning, then shredding them... even if they're the last copies on the planet. (Tweet 27/7/24.

If i can pay my bookkeeper, i can get our budget done and our board to approve the next project steps. $1000 a month ensure that the project no longer stalls and that we can provide the documentation needed for proposals & grants. Any amount helps.
Things are ready to happen, just need to get the funds to jumpstart the battery. Please share if you can to help the algorithm

one of my friends is a brillient playwright; his players told a story set at the fateful point at the origins of capital in that landscape & yet fully companion to Shakepeare's 12th Night. I have interviews with Ken that I will presently post but until then thou mayest watch. vimeo.com/1211919661

My concerns about the internet expanding to include the cybernetic control of biological systems are not going down. This sounds cute/tragic but the enclosure of nature as an information system is only deepening the move into the animal internet. www.livescience.com/animals/land...

This has been in my head all week. Current draft: Golden Fleece, spindle whorl Linen wraps the ancient world Tyrian purple tribute curled Cloth as wealth across the world Silk Road trade and caravan Thread counts rise from land to land Bayeux story, conquest planned Sail and rope expand command
“Granada silk, Toledo thread Moorish looms long softly sped Christian wave the workshops shed Skill dispersed as courts were led Reconquista’s shifting sail Silk lines broke along the trail Knowledge moved where armies hail Cloth as impetus and tale”

i miss playing the french horn. i had to sell mine during a really hard period of my life. i was never very good but it was such an expressive instrument
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 3w agoChristopher Nolan is a genius because he figured out that if you put enough French horn in your plot-driven SFF movie, people will think they're watching a Royal Shakespeare production of Richard III

So I have really good news which is I’m developing relationships with a couple other projects that all want to support the next steps for build soil to expand beyond a backyard Chestnut Project into a real tool kit of community solutions for climate change and ecological transformation
Something i'm learning lately is that people REALLY in the thick of Climate Science, especially those concerned with displacement, migration, vulnerability, there is a big waking up to the importance of RELATIONALITY, therapy, Mindfulness practices, ritual, community building. It's the ONLY path
Build Soil, Collect Water, Emerge from the Ashes.@buildsoil.bsky.social · last mo.4. my PhD program FINALLY led me to connections in the climate community and people who are knowledable and understand that transformation and adaptation will ONLY happen with collective cooperative practices. It was touch-and-go for a min and feeling not connected, but i've met some good ones
This essay and intro together are incredibly good

I just heard someone refer to 2018 as 2 years "before covid" or year 2 BCE
That’s the same as any gaming. Just people muttering while doing a creative logic task.
