There's a lot of excellent #advice going around about how to start getting involved in #DirectAction. I'm also thinking about how to keep the #momentum going once we've started, and #build upon what we're doing.

If you've read a #radical book, you can summarize it in a more #accessible format like a #zine, and share what you learned.

If you've planted a #VictoryGarden, you can share what you've grown with your #local #MutualAid network.

Local group is selling rain barrels and accesories as a fundraiser. Any of yous have experience with rain collection and wanna give me some advice?

I'd like to set them up at my various downspouts and use mobile pumps and hoses to periodically pump out to a larger cluster of storage totes to water my food garden/orchard. We have heavy spring rains, irregular summer rains, and brutal winters here.

Two queries for you, fedi friends #askfedi :blobfoxconfused:

1) Do any of those "erase your data from the #Internet" tools the YouTube creators are always advertising actually help? I feel like the spam texts are getting oddly specific, and also I have talked my fair share of shit about the Cheeto-in-Charge online which is seeming more dangerous by the day

2) Also, I unfortunately used my real last name when I jumped on Mastodon. Is there any way to change screen name? I know I looked awhile back and the answer seemed to be no but thought I'd ask again 🙏

Thanks friends!

Joshua Kolb: "Some of the most impactful acts we take to strengthen democracy may appear modest — showing up at civic events, getting engaged in local politics, representing the values you believe your community should stand for. These are some of the small, un-showy steps that can help restore trust in and buttress our institutions, in our ideals — and ultimately, ourselves." #politics #advice

Does anyone have #advice about cast iron #cookware they can share? I've acquired these pans that have been in storage for a while. They have no branding on them. I've read there can be different quality of cast iron and the poorer quality ones can be a bother (flaking etc).

1. How can I tell if these are decent quality?
2. How should I clean them? (remove rust)
3. How can I make sure they are properly seasoned?
4. How should I maintain them, if I decide to keep?

Looking for #advice on one twelfth scale relief carving. Had a few goes but it’s not going well. Tools are darning needle, craft knife, dremel drill with router bit. Picture in comments!
