Do your friends have a website? I'm always curious to find good ideas to steal for other communities!
Haha insane, I swear this popped into my head out of nowhere yesterday.
Well not entirely nowhere, but I work with plant dyes. So far I've only dyed wool, but I suddenly had the idea to create some T-shirt printing process with what grows around here. A dye bath and ink are rather different things though, so I'd be curious for ideas how to turn plant pigment into ink, or where to look?
I've never even seen normal silkscreen printing done, but vaguely understand the idea. I'd try different fabrics stapled to a wooden frame as sieve, and maybe use wax to cover the non-print areas?
For a non natural method - could 3D printing be interesting for making sieves?
And what is an emulsion?
No. I don't want one giant Billionaire-backed project. I want a million small scale projects backed by local communities.
It's a technological and a physical issue. We just can't store every bit of information plus a picture of everyone's cat. We can't guarantee that no information ever gets lost. We've also not really stored and archived every shopping list, advertising, pamphlet, silly poem, ugly drawing etc. since the time of the printing press and that's okay.
It might be a good idea to store and archive some written material as time passes but we want to be a bit picky about what we store. That said, I wouldn't mind to find more shopping lists and less posh documents in museums.
Phew, you wanted people's honest opinion about Tezka, so today I was excited to find your post.
I'm sorry, I couldn't be more disappointed. Just like the other comment says, this reads exactly like an ad, and reading it makes me nothing but sad. I'm not left with the feeling I want to read more from her.
If autism gives any super power, it's honesty, and the downvotes send a powerful message as well.
Please don't take this as discouragement from your goal. I have been taught recently to not get hung up about form when trying to achieve what one wants. I wanted to help people by creating one thing, found out they really wanted another thing, did that instead, and achieved the 'helping people' I had wanted from the start, just looking very differently from what I had envisioned!
How does that apply to you and Tezka? You've created her to help other ND folk, and help she will, but maybe not in the way you had initially planned? I'm still curious about your journey, I just don't see myself communicate with AI any time soon.
Yeah, just like most material that was ever printed or carved into a clay tablet. It's the way of things.
Yes, her house hides all kinds of surprises
I wonder how to take on the efficiency question when considering waste heat. Would and older model generating more heat be the better choice? Has anybody started to dig into the complexities of calculating efficiency for circular systems?
Listening to whatever you like is punk as fuck
In this case the problem with the question is not that we might or might not adapt to something happening in the future. We are already adapting to something already here, so I find the question a little stupid. The discussion between the two is interesting and worth the read though.
as they sometimes deal or work with fairies, but it led to getting a few confused responses and someone reporting me to Help Resources thinking I was going suicidal, and I wasn’t
This is so funny (and sad). I avoid discussing spirits with people who put a very strict framework (especially all taken from another culture) onto their inside world and try to convince others it's the best or only way. There are millions of worlds of reference out there, and I couldn't give a flying fuck whether the spirits take the forms of historical pantheons or TV series characters - because there is literally (sic) no difference. They are all stories, and whatever works for you works for you.
I have finally visited my favourite rock yesterday, to say thanks for all the good things it has brought to my life. I am due to walk a lot of kilometers between rocks and trees to keep the good spirits flowing. Things work for me, because I permitted myself to listen to the landscape around my house during a time in my life when I felt really weak and tired, without letting myself fall into the paranoia of 'schizophrenia' or 'psychosis'. I got really good advice, where other people's advice would have been too confusing.
Yesterday I spoke to a person who would be considered mad and useless by most. He is a street clown. When in fact he has a centrally important function of reminding people of the irrational and shaking them out of their sad rails. He keeps the chaos alive in people's hearts and is an essential worker. Real power can be very quiet. Real power with the goal of kindness is the best of all.
I had to check, but I had !climate blocked since ... ever? Never missed it, but the occasional discussions around it seem to show it's not the most agreeable place on this instance.
