Passing Wildlife-Friendly Property Maintenance Ordinances

Happy to spread the gospel 🙏 I’m surprised it wasn’t already posted here!

🥳 I was hoping they’d get on the fediverse after being booted off youtube.

Exactly, or sodium or electrolytes.

When it started popping up, it came off like some twisted marketing scheme. I hope this doesn’t become the new, “have you tried lavender essential oils?”

Same lol. I’m not sure why the preview looks like that. The article itself is broken up into paragraphs.

Maryland passed a bill doing just that:

I’ve been on a CGRP inhibitor (erenumab) since September that took me from neverending to chronic, but it only lasts for three weeks at a time. The fourth week before the next dose is a total wash.

Triptans only work during the first three weeks, so I use diphenhydramine and caffeine with a strong ginger tea chaser to cope 😵‍

Cool find 🌛 Looks like they’re accepting submissions for the next issue until end of August.

Awesome! Sometimes all neighbors need is to see it in action, to not be the first on the block. Like it gives people permission in a way 😊

Same, had one inserted over a decade ago. No one said anything about pain medication. Drove myself home and felt every imperfection in the road. About a week of severe cramping.

Went for the follow up and the gyno adjusted its position without warning. When I cried out, she told me the pain would subside in a few days. It didn’t, so I got it removed a month later.

Glad to see the tides are changing 🙌

I’m going to think of a live, laugh, love sign when I pull privet now 😂

I’m with you, but I do stress the optimistic and hopeful part given the utopian nature of the solarpunk movement. I’m not talking about toxic positivity, that’s gross lol and leads to inaction. Moreso on replicable activities, collaboration, brainstorming, sharing successes, not dehumanizing others, and rejecting despair.

A lot of your posts are in line with what I mean about keeping the focus, like those about biodiversity loss and deforestation. Definitely not saying that’s all that fits here or all this place should be, but those do fit more than what feels like advertisements.

Maybe it’s because I’d like to see each vegan community on the fediverse have their own flavor… Like blahaj highlighting the intersections of queer and animal liberation, or lifting up queer activists. Or .ml discussing veganism through a communist lens, .ca focusing on Canadian concerns and movements. Right now, it feels so homogeneous.

Thank you for the last bit 😂 Killing your lawn is vegan!

Given the nature of the fediverse, bringing this community more in line with the Solarpunk instance:

A place for hopeful vegans and curious folk, focused on the climate crisis.

Solarpunk is an anti-capitalist movement against the status quo. Apolitical means status quo. Capitalism will not bring about liberation for any earthling, nor will the NGOs who do the bidding for the state. We can’t rely on our institutions. We need a grassroots movement from below.

More discussions about activism and community organizing. Posts about art, music, and creative works. Optimistic or thought-provoking essays aligned with Solarpunk values. Zero waste recipes or DIY dupes. Projects we can support or take to our own communities. News about everyday people working towards a better world.

Less about corporate offerings, consumption, and processed foods wrapped in plastic. Less inflammatory missionary work, less debate bros, and less worrying about scaring off conservatives.

There are numerous vegan communities across the fediverse on generalist instances more in line with the mainstream movement, let it be those who get that type of activity. Or in the discussion community which could use some love: [email protected]

Same here. The music really sets the mood, too. Mesmerizing in a way.

I remember being invited to facebook and getting upset you couldn’t customize your page. Going from angelfire/geocities to myspace then to that… such a loss of character.

This unlocked a memory of making a page full of dress up dollz. I had a composition notebook full of html codes 😂

No sand spurs here, thankfully 😄 Both pictures show groundcover under low tree or shrub branches, so no humans step there. These type of plantings are meant to be soft landings for pollinators.

Violets can handle moderate foot traffic and mowing, especially when mixed in with grasses like nimblewill, but not heavy play.
