i’ve got a heater in my garage keeping it about 45*f all winter, but a cool corner in a basement would work as well. depends on your region too. some folks are lucky enough to just leave the root vegies in the ground over winter.

onions i’ll use quick. about 1/3 of the potatoes will be stored with my dahlia tublers as seed potatoes. been pulling handfulls for meals the past few months. the rest will be eaten at thanksgiving. the carrots and parsnips i’m trying out hay in cardboard boxes this year.

the past two i did milk crates lined with a trash bag, then layered play sand over the carrots. so there was enough separation between each carrot to prevent rot from spreading. it works really well but it’s a pain to move those crates around.

boarding schools run by ‘good christian folk’ on large plots of empty land, just like the not that distant past.

northwoods is a regional forest, like a boreal forests but not quite one. it runs from the boundry waters in Minnesota down to duluth. through this weird gross area on the southern edge of lake superior. before finally getting into an area smart enough to say it’s michigan even though its not touching michigan, thus no longer being gross. and the people living in that forest are definitely their own kinda people.

gonna push for peaceful solutions until im out of breath, but. there is rhetoric and there is real world in the moment life. as much as i’d like to see restrictions on that amendment, thats the future and reality is today. if you are comfotable with firearms and especially if you’re in a hard red area or rural location. don’t leave yourself in a position to be waiting for help, because help may not even bother showing up. take time to really consider your current living conditions and community before dissmissing this post outright.

some of us may need a few days between the cries of “dont vote for harris, teach them a lesson” and “now is the time to join us in revolutionary action”. theres some lack of credibility going around this platform and the corporate media sources (news & social) are doing their best to maintain ad engagement. we are all staring down a decade of painfull experiances and it’s ok to take a breath sometimes.

nah i get it, i assumed good faith on your part as well. i skimmed through some threads in that sub and all i wanted to do was start jumping saying “guys just pause a second so we can talk about some of this language”. but thats absolutely not the place for me to do that.

it would be as productive as the guys who’d go into r/twoxchromosomes posting “explain like i’m 5 why my wife left over not doing the dishes enough”. assumimg good faith, i get he’s thinking “ok this is where other women who have done this talk, i’ll ask them”. there wasnt anyplace else to send the dude, so a few people would try responding. but it always devolved into language policing, because not doing so in that space would forfit the sub to the people it was designed to be safe from. i never commented in that space specifically because it was their sub and i was just there to understand perspectives. i was a guest in their home.

people need to be able to use the only words they know with the meaning they understand them to have. before they can do any self reflection or understand why it becomes important to adjust our language for eachother sometimes.

i spent all of a minute poking around. not a topic i deep dive in really. more hoping to pose the question of “hey do we maybe have a space like this?”. someplace where people having a shared perspective would have the patience for eachothers early questions they once had.

i’m not on reddit but a few minutes poking around there it doesn’t look crazypants. so i’ll add it to my comment too.

We have to do both things. we have to get everyone we possibly can paying attention and work on peaceful ways to move ideas forward. i’m gonna keep saying make unions the base of* the dems. and point to minnesota who still has the democratic farmer labor party and pulles off some neat* shit.

there simply are not enough people available to do it quickly. it always ends with the people we claim to want to help being hurt. and we end up piled on top of them by some authoritarian we made a deal with.

now if you want to discuss disruptive actions that could need to be taken over the next few years. especially while throwing out the word arming. i’d like to kindly remind you we are in an armed police state on a Public. Fucking. Server. and point out that molitivcocktail hour does not announce itself and is never the option WE choose.

fair point. sounds like theres a need for a space to have these conversations. with people effected by the topic and moded by people on the otherside of the joirney, who could have empathy in the difficult moments. anyone know of a space? i’ll try engaging where i can.

it’ll depend entierly on their ability to implement, i mean they’ll try but they only seem good at tax cuts. remember infrastructure week? and (hopefully) less people are willing to fall for the adult in the room enablement. if they go after the right to unionize right out of the gate, we need to wake the fuck up right away to the reality that theres no reasoning with them, or we’re fucked. i mean we’re probably still fucked, and a lot of people are going to get hurt. but we might make it to having midterms with union engagement. im not ready for molitivcocktial hour while theres a chance to put organized labor at the center of democtrats powerbase again.

you’ve combined those midwest states like the british used to draw country boarders to keep groups fighting eachother. i have concerns.

half joke first. nobody’s trying to meddle in our bodily autonomy, yet.

edit: i havent looked too close at it but the mensliberation space on lemmy.ca may interest you? cancermancer down bellow has a rec for r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates that looks to have another good perspective in the topic. so im sticking it right here with the other.

I’ll try to approach the topic from my perspective as well. my gender has never really be part of my internal view of myself. but it is an inescapable part of how other people will see me, and the rules are always whatever the other person wants. so maybe not the poster child for speaking on masculinity. i’m literally the default charater generator in every videogame, but it’s just a hallucinating meat suit.

talking about gender concepts and social roles was a norm growing up because i did that growing up in the weird outside groups the christian kids chased. any reference to maculinity was done at me as an attack, even when i was doing it according to the rules. i agree, there are few places for young men to explore their way out of those strict views. especially in the early years. i’ve often seen them jump straight into spaces meant to be safe for people who’ve had not great experiances with the topic, especially women. and press other people to do all the work, explain things to them and navigate their often* harsh language. and i get it. when you’ve only ever been allowed to express 3 levels of the same emotion, it’s gonna be rough sorting that out.

it’s going to be on people who have worked their way through that mind set to make those places for kids to start the process. most importantly, people who share their experiance and perspective. yes folls like me can and really need to come in there and talk openly. but my own experiance is never going to line up in a way that will connect with those kids. even when i look exactly like our experiance should line up.

minnesota agreed to loan him to the party in the hope the policies would go with him. the rest of you can only have him if you start running on the 2026 mid terms and 2028 presidential tomorrow and dont let up. it’s* all in non-stop on unions, trans rights and feeding children. or we’re keeping him.

this. yes please. all the people cheering about never being able to do this through democratic processes like some revolution fantasy. can we try stealing this political party and putting farmer/labor back in the name please? people out here acting like even our small town police departments arnt better armed than some counties. doing this the fast way is only ever gonna end in blood and failure when 70mil people love the fasciat for the fascism.

got a friend with a trans son looking for an out of country transfer under their job. I hope she can get it and keep the kid even a tiny bit safer.

leaving is a privilage though that almost none of us will be able to afford. even if you pull it off, thats a huge risk to take unless you can afford to just not give a shit. and in that case you’re probably fine with the election outcome anyway.

trump voters don’t make any* deflections on who they are. the cruelty IS what they vote for. it’s not gonna break the republican party, it’s what they’ve been asking for. Trump just tapped into it. can’t do anything about those fuckers and trying isnt worth it.

I want to look at the people who just sat this round out because it wasn’t exciting and wouldnt really harm them. going back to “this isnt who we are” as a culture and pleading with them is not gonna work.

it’s literally what mega just got done doing.

the neat part is now we get both genocides.
