#liquid life (add water with food often - not just eating solids mostly... more water-based = healthy / sustainable...
Add Water to all food - #BetterPractices
Like soups / juicing / blending / liquefying but more water + heating / boiling items submerged under the water as solid / partially chopped to drink)
Make soups from everything or flavoured water from many things you have to make your food last longer.
Search for "OTHER IDEAS" on this post (CTRL-F) to see the quick list of ideas I've done / you can try regularly without dying and maybe the opposite!
You can eat solids but after sinking them in water first or boiling it all in a big pot and topping it up with water after each drink. The extra steps (however you like) are the key to making things last and cheating the solid food cost and weight on body suddenly. Often body just needs a top up on fuel or hot liquid (like if you're cold).
Drink the water first like tea until there is no taste you like AND THEN ADD MORE.. then at the end EAT the solids. Heating helps bring it out but some foods like oats don't even need - the room temperature and mixing is good (drinking liquid first and adding more water, then after eating oats).
█Water = #SavingPlanet #Saving Less #Buying - more abundant style of #Economy usnig #Water
(less land and money strain overall).
█Healthier in terms of digestion as body needs to break down less.
█Body is water ( 70%+/- !) and natural replacement and regeneration for it
Still ok to have lots of solids, just tease yourself more and more to find the right combination of crazy stuff knowing you can have it at the end
█ almost thinking of it as dieting or
█ cheating capitalism by having more water-fied food / liquids.
Like a hot soup is to vegetables but for everything. I don't mean just blasting it in a blender as you can eat it too much that way... has to be separate or easy to drink without it all going.
Must be a name for this type of submerging / milking / or soaking... :)
Things can be put into any pot of water and ideally heated almost to boil (I have wood stove so a big pot is on all the time, but even soaking a carrot or drinking boiled carrot juice works in something small works (even carrot in a kettle)
█ left in water is also to avoid you touching / eating it too quickly so it's also a self-check mechanism (with the water added in between to last longer or keep you moving around / not just eating from nervousness)
█ Like tea is. Make Liquid by mixing water in everything - all foods can be done the same (or almost all)
OTHER IDEAS:
█ olives
█ tomatoes chopped / blended to make base of juice
█ beetroot (juices from jars are usually sweet so this can be diluted and so can the beetroot after - not emptying juice or drinking it all at once! Dilute!)
█ anything in a vinegar
█ the tea leaves from boxes nobody ever touches + bit of sugar left over - even old tea bags died or not!
█ empty honey jar / honey combes or old jars filled with boiling water until honey or whatever in there is all gone.
█ even with sauces (dilute)
from over-spiced things to make less spicy (like from takeway food - often happens) but not just bland watery either (balance / push limits!)
█ meat and chicken also ok (not my first recommendation but if you drink more meaty juices than a bag of vegetables that it better in a few ways - especially if it would go to bio trash anyway)
█ Nettles - honestly the best and most available weed like drink best hot (like leaves of ganja, hemp, cannabis but more subtle - still a boost from it's green, and seed ok too... underestimated / dare you try boil water and let it sit or add in foods like spinach (is very close I've done half a bush in big pot and last ages and works like spinach with everything else throw in
█ fruit whole in a pot cooked (even orange peels or citrus peels can be put into water for hot or cool drink later rather than throw away - yes even with possible pesticides)
█ chopped cabbage (red especially or any dark food), same with diluting the supermarket juices that come with it or just half bake / boil a big piece of cabbage or all of it if you have a witches style pot / cauldron!
█ herbs - try them all heated and unheated - cheap bags of herb can last a while (but do try nettles literally put in whole or by holding the bottom of stem and with other hand running fingers- the leaves fall into pot but stem is ok too)
█ Kombucha style stuff (mushroom, tea fungus, yeast)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha
█ cucumbers + dill (often already in jars or with all that other mini salad stuff in jar dilute / make tea from it)
█ candy sweets plopped in water 🍬 !
█ flowers - more petals the better in many cases and you'll know by smell and tasting raw (blue soft petals usually perfect flavourFULL)
(last few seem more extreme but try them all or whenever you come across them and can save it for 'a test')
Heating constantly (especially in winter) means drinking warm liquid solves the craving to get warm because you are tempted to eat solids when cold trying to get warm so instead of overloading solids trying to get the body to convert to heat inside (or from nervous loading of food), just drink and keep busy with your day knowing you can top up (thermos useful).
A warm or hot drink in helps you last longer.
Happy to help you setup with whatever you have around - ask with any crazy combinations as I've lived in the 'bushes' and do make things last so you can pick your level or desperation as I would like to see if I can fit that into your life too and test my experience. 🌿 🍉 🥕

"Put more simply, it's possible to rigorously determine who is a terrorist if you go by the actual meaning of the word, but in practice the term is almost never applied in accordance with a strict definition."
In these post-truth days of political marketing, the same is true of other terms commonly used as vague pejoratives, including "hate group", "fascists", and even "Nazis".
One of my directs gave me a card today with artwork done by his sister-in-law, based on his description of me to her. I 🩷 it! More of her work: https://catsandmaidens.art
@freemo It was quoting you so I assume it should have been your post add inline in quotes so I don't have to type it out.. (i.e. clicking quote on a post, then typing my text which goes above quote?)
Fast replies to people + pointing out people / groups not doing it on Fediverse...
1/ #Bestpractices for #Education #Fediverse
(TLDR for this = Fast replies to people)
2/ Pointing people out on #Mastodon #Fediverse
(TLDR for this = announcing / pointing out people / groups wanting help or contact but not doing it on Fediverse
------------------------------------
Longer answers for the 2 points:
------------------------------------
█1/ Faster replies to people makes things better online, both as an individual experience and in terms of development for makers / developers. For bigger groups to have dedicating people for faster contact I recommend...
The list of 1-way communication / broadcast-only / 0 response accounts is actually quite high or higher than they say (e.g. "this is a broadcast only account") even for good things on #Fediverse that seemingly want support (or just money?)
█2/ I might make a list of 0 responders as I go and of those lacking individuals clarity - it's not ideal to point but I think reasonably it's a culture ultimately or cultural ultimatum we're all facing to change / interact on Fediverse, and frankly not good enough if the goals are highly same not to have a way on Fefiverse to use reply button! 📨
so without forcing people indirectly or bullying but pointing a bit I think is fair, else they can let me know / put in their bio "why we don't answer back" as fair expectation.
#Mastodon #Fediverse #Experience
Oh shit another person on my - reply list replied... :) thank you (:

█ If you the reader are not sure or defensive, then put "tentative to reply" or something short at the top... just as a sign to expect hesitation but that you "don't want to block completely but reduce / find exactly what we can work on quickly"
#BetterPractices short version
How to spread alternative links and educate people better...
(like Invidious / Nitter links etc...)
1- pump out alternative links (like invidious / anti-advertising links personally (for youtube or https://nitter.net/DrStranglelove/ etc)
2 - people try it more often
(make *all your links* are invidious)
3- others catch on / find it less strange / respect it...
4- they become a source of links themselves in their own profiles or life (copying and pasting more often / joining the anti stuff more politically
5- others try their links from their new habit in the same way and repeat this process to continue the wave of education to others ... ![]()
Not sure if that's normal to say 'Unlisted quote' when I quoted you @freemo (screenshot part below)
It hits home when it comes to the root of the problem really... Police clearly play by different rules and have different laws than the rest of us. Thats what happens when you have qualified immunity and prosecuting illegal activity is entirely at their discretion.
After I finished, I was #listening to The Anti-Nasty League, the most recent studio album by Pop Will Eat Itself, released in 2015;
https://yewtu.be/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kt9HOqmmy9Cccn9PqWGVeQClZeZ7DCKHM
It's every bit as good as their 1994 classic Dos Dedos Mis Amigos, which included the anti-fascist anthem Ich Bin Ein Auslander. But I discovered it through another single, Everything's Cool, which was on an indie compilation I got in the late-90s.
We're a bit proud that people from the honorable @fsf read our blog - and like it! It's great to see that our content has an impact.

#Joke / #Irony of #Education on #Mastodon #Review #Feedback #Fediverse
#Joke / #Irony / #Education #Mastodon #Review #Feedback #Fediverse
What's worse than a clever person who doesn't reply or ignores you without reasoning on the Fediverse?
Answer: A clever person who only uses their account for 1-way broadcast and replies indirectly about you in their next post!
= real smart use of time 8L]
TLDR / Lesson:
They/you could have just written back to the original person rather than complain indirectly for the mutual totally fan-like attention.
I can get it but feel like a better balance of involving people is part of it all (especially if people are into education and promoting interaction or whatever in similar ways to what you do clearly)
It's not been a lot that I see or come across but I want to see those that promote education and interaction,.. er.. actually do it? Not do the exactly the opposite or even complain indirectly about it lol
Is a fine line sometimes but broadcast-only can be a bit harsh and even anti-education almost getting people excited / mutually agreeing / wanting to do more than receive messages.
So this is also about clever people who don't reply or interact with others (seemingly and without any reasoning sent at least) and then they might take the time to complain about it because they could have just wrote the person instead with that time and effort.
Moral of the story?
If you're the #fediverse please try not it ignore people without having more clear and honest reasoning. It makes a big difference
- write in why in your bio (say you have 0 reply or selective reply and it's no offence if that's really your way).
I'm sure some of it can be purely on aesthetics because an avatar is a bit too colourful etc.
#BetterPractices How can alternative links can be made popular?... boost this if you agree on the example below!
Example #YouTube #Link (below) is filtered by #Invidious software to take out the adverts and junk code...
https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=QK8mJJJvaes
so even if links like these are strange to you or others - it is only *at first*... and this is how it works to make the alternative popular and even standard / defacto!
1- you pump out the alternative links personally (not being a hypocrite)
2 - people try it more often from lack of choice
(make *all your links* are invidious)
3- as others catch on from trying it more they find it less strange as they use it and as other they respect use it...
4- then they become a source of links themselves in their own profiles or life (copying and pasting more politically / wanting to be more aligned / showing they care not to pump google / youtube and instead help filter the crap if they have to use BigTech and it's monster money making)
5- and then others try it in the same way and repeat this process to actually continue the wave of education to others also... :)
:) :YoshiHappy: (:
You are more than just a user right?
People will be more curious and then try it, and after trying it even copy links or political show they agree by copying links.
#Boost please!
“You” is ambiguous.
Do I mean You — over there, second from the left, with the gold scarab pendant
Or You — every blessed one of you out there who is not me?
Or some grouping inbetween?
A failure of the English language? I think not.
Because ultimately
There are but two worlds: The one in here of me
And the one out there.
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
