Very happy to hear about this!!! My state frequently takes cues from Maine so we could be next!!

This is a great way of explaining why solarpunk artworks and books are not just wonderful but necessary

No shame, survival is a worthy cause, maybe the most worthy

Thank you, I needed to hear this

Do you think you could put together a guide on what to look for in these parts for someone who doesn’t really know anything about tech? I’d really love to learn and I feel like ripping open a busted laptop would be a great way to start, but I don’t even know what “female barrel connector” or “OEM PSU” means. “160gb SSD” though, I know that one. That’s so many damn photos. My partner always shoots JPGs because storage is expensive but I always shoot RAW if I can…

seconding makeup brushes!! Fluffy ones are great for delicate things and lightweight dust but a good thin edge brush will work wonders on stuck bits (source: my sewing machine seems to inhale dog hair every chance it gets)

Good work, it looks fantastic and your cats will love it, good on you for keeping them safe as well

That’s incredible. I wish cities in the US would do stuff like this too - it’s so terrifying to ride a bike where I live even inside the bike lanes because so few cars even acknowledge the bike lanes. I would go for more walks with my dog if there were less cars too, both he and I are sensitive to loud sounds like engines
