Video testimony - Self-sufficiency is a big issue... losing the ways and relying more materialistically is a problem... using less helps that but also working every day liek we did a bit more with nature / vegetables / food...
VIDEO AS TEXT / TRANSCRIPT:
For the visually impaired I clicking EDIT on the video and added the same text there,.,,
"People are becoming less and less self-sufficient around the world. These local communities that were previously growing everything themselves and knew how to build their own houses out of natural materials are completely dependent on big foreign powers and imports from other countries."
SORRY TO THE PREVIOUS GENERATIONS AND EXISTING (IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW / DIDN'T RESPOND)...
GRANDMA/GRANDPA/OLDER FOLKS/THOSE WHO THOUGHT DIFFERENT... SORRY
You just didn't know or couldn't see it... didn't want to put things together to accept the horrible true it's all developed from #war (war on other people and locally)
MONEY GRANDMA - WHAT YOU GIVE ME FOR XMAS.
IT WAS GOOD BUT I REALISE IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
Perhaps it turned into something else for you but it was always so... from fuelling the war to the political dishonesty - you were innocent as other fed your children but also fed from it nations of energy and then it (the people who inherited positions before us even born) became too greedy to endanger every little thing in life - including piece of mind or peace and mindfulness for their own children world while they collected and made your life better as a result taking that money for conquest from others.
A bad circle of 'economy' by damaging others abroad so heavily away from your eyes even though you saw some of it on TV.
I'm sorry we had to flip your script from misrepresentation to really stopping and looking what's really happening....
and just take it on our shoulders even while you're alive...
We can't hide so much and what will take everything from us anyway... #money gives a bad form of life.
Unfortunate for those too innocent or those who can't connect dots and chains or think this is the only way only perpetuate where it all comes from and leads back to...
You also are responsible grandma... though finance might not be your realm... you can't leave it to the men... and Grandpa let the the Grandma's give away life... from life to life while keeping a eye but not locking them either...
This video may help grandma...
no excuses...
Grandpa...
no excuses... there is war everywhere
and it's in your pocket.
“If making a complaint requires following the procedures, making a complaint requires using tools that are developed "in house”. Complaints procedures could thus be understood as "the master's tools", to evoke Audre Lorde's terms. When procedures are developed in house, it is not surprising they are often used to keep that house in order.”
- Sara Ahmed
Fix the perception of money / banks... helps to unite the people... Or just grow more caring less-money orientated people....
#Bitcoin vs. #Banks has help equalise power to create and manage money in your own hands (and don't tell me it's shit from what you and I are FORCED to use right now and how we take out loans for everything including possibly your government too!)
Less debt creation and less control by slave makers and lords connected to all other parts of the system to manipulate is goo. Keeping people one legged or based on taxes for war is bad.
I'm not saying it can't get co-adapted and taken over somehow but the BIG differences in Bitcoin now still stand somewhat now before banks get there at least in the understanding of it.
Bitcoin has provided something of an alternative to the monopoly even while still using fiat currency... so the practice of something less debt, less based on killing less our energy using the debt we have to work for taking our loans etc is good to practice because right now money which forces us to sell off all our future, exploit nature to pay debts and do deal with bad hands.
Literally fix the money or actually in my eyes learn humanity (no money and no exploit, just good will land good sense).
So choose Bitcoin or choose getting used to working for good will and good sense, knowing centralised money is just used to steal almost all of it and keep people BARELY alive or scamming others in a pyramid... keep it eco-logical and working for nature and well something like that...
A more nature-based or human based approach... but either ways you need caring human people behind it!!
Fixing people's perception and attitudes...
Anyone who believes they are not messed up I think is fooling themself or hasn't scratch the surface...
Anyone who doesn't expect others to messed up in some way AND TO HELP THEM, is also mistaken for the way forward.
It's about fixing and accepting everything we can together. No other way around it AND nobody else is going to do it all.
Giving things time is good but not ignoring / being scared of others...
Plenty of us to fix each others perceptions one by one or balance it... being scared of repair is what I see.
Heat pumps to reduce energy consumption and burden less existing sources...
Most of the #energy in the world are used to warm indoor spaces...
I took this clip as it lists typical #climatechange energy sources while talking about heat pumps;
natural gas furnaces
wind turbines
solar farms
nuclear power plants
batteries
hydro-storage facilities

How to deal with people who escalate physically and have little reasoning themselves?
** That's exactly it! ** People DON'T WANT to talk DIRECTLY to each in life about serious or emotionally-stimulating topics!...
That's exactly it!
For a long time people DON'T WANT to talk to another person or now it's almost text only.
People also quickly run out of people willing to listen in real life even if not talking about serious things! And so what do people expect from that. A lot of Peace or more disconnection?
Real discussion and training indirectly is constantly needed,
Not just text. Text has it's very good points but after a long time is a not a REPLACEMENT for really 'hearing people' and practising these live skills (I'm not just talking about people you know already).
So what do those people expect from humanness like that in 'humanity'? War eventually no?.. Simply from being so far apart?
And it is part of our nature to fight but some of us hope you can manage it.
*Not* building people who can practise differences HAS IT'S CONSEQUENCES AND COLDNESS.
We need to practice toleration, balance, and accept imperfection AND ACTUALLY BEING FRIENDS AT THE END.... !
-------^ I KNOW FUCKING SHOCKING SENTENCES!
I think people internally and externally find WAR and DISCONNECT quickly because of this also in the everyday sense.....
friends, neighbors etc... and also people RUN away from even talking as soon as someone talks deep about anything. People don't train, they run, don't want things with feelings and emotions because it's emotional!
This is not really practising or solving much.
And for those that don't do TEXT very well that's a big loss in humanity also asking for text only.
Everyone expects people to text and not talk. That's a type of death.
FIND SOMEONE... PRACTICE
AUDIO TALKING... AND SAVE US ALL!
I'M HERE TOO ANYTIME
but BOOST THIS TO FIND OTHERS -
SAVE THE WORLD
SAVE (Y)OUR SELF
( GET TALKING JUST A BIT MORE ! SO EASY )
EXAMPLE BELOW:
Belgium wanted to pass a law that would have forced companies to include an encryption backdoor. But the immense backlash that the government faced made them stop. Read on our blog how we fought the law & won! 😀💪 Let's keep fighting for #privacy.

Colouring books - why they have furry / felt borders...
I remember colouring books having a furry kind of felt border - so where the black is in the picture - a 3 dimensional furry think you could touch and would could feel with fingers if you ran your finders over it...
Wondering if anyone knows about that as technique or why etc...? Thanks
Donations - How... Using Money / Not Using Money...?....
Nobody wants to consistently pay for what's free... it's perfectly logical and part of the ethics too not to pay... for saving... for efficiency... for sharing... for the love more than anything.
But then what to do inside a debt based system / financial realm?... even temporarily
...we have to think of what next / how
^--------This is the trouble I'm having, to avoid thinking about people starving from actually loving what they do and getting deeper into that poorer way (although it makes total sense on the love-for-it basis that you're 'poorer' the more you give and actually with basics the ratio of giving I think could be a lot more if we could assume controlling ourselves a bit not to over-give!)...
NOT RELYING ON DONATIONS is ideal because that is also politically back to square 1 with what we don't like as creators and also why we hesitate to donate as users because
- yeah we're tight, but also we don't like
- corporate providers
- accumulation of power / authority / institutes
- banks/debt,
- power/control/regulation/authority/tracking
- affiliation/being hunted/shut-downs,
- middlemen, taxes / cost to send, etc
- basically no love uncaring people benefiting in the middle who we're usually working against
- Taxes / fees / cost to send
- PAYING FOR THINGS YOU CAN COPY DIGITALLY etc
SO then we have to think:
- what next for people like that, doing things for these types of reasons...?
- And so the uncaring stuff and uncaring people put to one side...
also the other side is
- How to give love back? What are the ways?
( I can love what I do but nobody cares about that probably or even if I'm alive - maybe there are too many contributors to take up people's place to actually value them - and how to offer more than thanks to people about what else they need or love! )
So with the 2 halves above (mainly uncaring people vs love more than money) THE TOTAL = NO MONEY DONATED (both for good and bad reasons)
HOW DO I SEE AN ANSWER?
I'd like to say donate love, but I think most don't know what that is in my book since they are too scared to appreciate people even to say thanks / explore / talk about it.... but yes they are also others giving their work, but also selling their time most of the day (so back almost to square 1 again almost). Giving love for me means totally out of your way or planned time away from banksters in the middle ('non-professionally' giving) and amateur style ('for the love of it' looking at things fresh)
I can see it would be good to pay each other somehow... but any ideas of most perfect way right now more
So I mean not paypal right, any better-money ways
And non-money ways ? Everyone doing what they can and hoping that reduces monetary costs? But doesn't taxing us constantly mean we're always going to be losing / never having enough?
THE SOLUTION?
Donate time to each other, give love how we can...
but I think don't know what that that is (they read giving love as sex probably)... unless you can learn to live and talk to people more actively and give time freely with other people... while other people want you to pay even if it's free / very cheap already (like the earth and even having a lot of money this is still hard to let go of or not be scared about).
If not even willing to talk or give time and props (Proper respect)
it's really a problem (hmm)
And I guess only when it doesn't work people complain more... which makes sense... lack attention and money when it works right!
OVERALL
I see this as a good question about what to do and what next for people, what to do with people who do what they love and don't want to market prostitution / prostituting what they love?
Especially if it's in the digital world want to stay alive ETC. Maybe one big house to stick all these people into? :D
For those who have talked to each other more personally and increase relativity by giving time often to solve this, thanks and let me know!
EXTRA EXTERNAL THINGS ON TOP
External people are also doing 2 main things
- blocking love / blocking free being given
(by making 100 rules what not to do + making things have to be sold / bought, even people's time)
- Making so many rules and regulations that indirectly making ANY other way mean some rule is going to be broken / blocking you
It's similar to not allowing people to do anything but government's ways! And they obvious are not very caring!
Would be good if 'thanks' paid the bills... :)
.... or like some middle-eastern culture we look up to the sky and say:
'FOR THE LOVE OF ALMIGHTY I GIVE' OR JUST
'FOR THE SPIRIT OF MANKIND, HERE TAKE IT I HAVE EXTRA ANYWAY'
'FOR THE UNIVERSE'
like some kind of constant good-will, perpetual aura, yin yang or universal kudos!
If you can talk for 10mins - get in touch. I know it might kill you to talk to a human but we're actually losing ourselves I think each day (not just in tech but in distance that chatting glues back together) we don't give time to random others...
click the direct message button and look up to the sky with palms open after tooting and say 'for relativity' I send an invitation to talk to another human... about what's important to us all (see title if you forgot!)

Geocities.com Websites - a copy of all them!??...
Interesting diary of someone trying to backup all of the Geocities.com websites in 2009!
https://web.archive.org/web/20160603172858/http://mx.reocities.com/newhome/makingof.html
MORE INFO / HISTORY...
Geocities was very popular place for websites in late 1994 with ample space for a website 2MB !
Actually very doable in some sense (or we made do) and shows how smaller scale works even if we wanted to add all the media in the world as it is now... we did personally what we could deal with (and not chew up the worlds energy and hardware to level now at the expense of land, water for heat cooling and other things geologically connected).
Discontinuing it disappeared in late 2009... so this was the story of someone copy the data and making of Reocities.com / Geocities.RestorativLand.org/
- Does it continue?....
- Did you get nostalgic from seeing the logo?
Interesting was being able to see sites via neighbourhoods too hence the 'Geo' part (which to be honest I didn't really get or remember now until reading cities were shown there neighbourhoods, I just remember it mostly for the web hosting)...

Stories and chat welcome...
MASTODON IDEA: VOTING IN POLLS + SHOW who voted?... To make contact with people and their projects after poll is over?
Hi @Gargron
About Voting in Polls + showing usernames... kinda yes / no question
(see this thread or link below)
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108012109930765303
SO Y? / N? /M?----> :) THANKS
If anyone knows better place to send messages / suggestions let me know (even for archive / later checking as long as someone gets this and can just say Y / N / Maybe)... In Mastodon we trust :)
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!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

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...!
