I'd encourage both cooks and community-oriented people to plant a little cilantro if they can. (If planted in a pot, make it a fairly sturdy one. They can get 2-3' tall when they go to seed.)

Let them go to seed. Pollinators love the flowers.

When pollinated, the petals drop off like snow, and the seeds swell up. Each plant makes dozens and dozens of seeds, which you can cook with (cilantro leaf & coriander seed), or seed-share with neighbors.

Easily re-seeds itself.

Es hoy !!! Es hoy !!!


Este jitomate se cayó solo cuando revisaba el huerto. Es el primer jitomate de la temporada :underheart:


Estoy muy emocionado, mañana lo desayunaré.


Mi padre me dió unas semillas, las planté y regué desde finales de enero, mediados de febrero. Incluso las coloqué en una maceta autoregable.


Es maravilloso !!!!!

Finally, the stakes come into focus.
How does it all end?

Just been to a repair café where I volunteer as a fixer, where I had the pleasure of being able to talk to some members of the public while they waited about Microsoft ending their support for Windows 10, and showing them how Linux is capable of everything they do on their PCs on a day-to-day basis, and that they can save their machines from being thrown out.

My local repair cafés will hopefully be running their own installation events, but @Endof10 is coordinating a global campaign if you want to find an installation event near you.

I missed last month's #solarpunk essay from @AndrewDanaHudson , but I think the 10-year-check-in is a worthy read:

The world has changed. Solarpunk influenced it, even without a single Masterpiece. We are continuing to build from multiple sides.

People are doing a lot on the ground - whether in the North or the South - and we're finally getting a language which can share their stories.

ENG: scroll down to The New Yorker article on renewable energies reshaping the world, whether autocrats like it or not.

ESP: "El año pasado, el noventa y seis por ciento de la demanda mundial de nueva electricidad se cubrió con energías renovables, y en Estados Unidos el noventa y tres por ciento de la nueva capacidad de generación procedió de la energía solar, eólica y de una variedad cada vez mayor de baterías para almacenar esa energía.

En marzo, por primera vez, los combustibles fósiles generaron menos de la mitad de la electricidad en Estados Unidos. En California, en un momento dado, el 25 de mayo, las energías renovables produjeron la cifra récord del ciento cincuenta y ocho por ciento de la demanda eléctrica del estado. A lo largo de todo el día, produjeron el ochenta y dos por ciento de la electricidad de California, que esta primavera superó a Japón y se convirtió en la cuarta economía del mundo. (... muchos más ejemplos en el artículo )

Esto sugiere que existe la posibilidad de una profunda reordenación de los sistemas de poder de la tierra, en todos los sentidos de la palabra "poder", ofreciendo un freno plausible no sólo a la crisis climática sino también a la autocracia. En lugar de depender de depósitos dispersos de combustibles fósiles -cuyo control ha definido en gran medida la geopolítica durante más de un siglo-, estamos avanzando rápidamente hacia una dependencia de fuentes de suministro difusas pero ubicuas."

Interesante, no solo lo dicho, sino que sea El New Yorker quien lo diga...

I've been toying with the idea of some sort of Solarpunk/Library Socialism Movement in St. Louis for a while. I do not feel like any current organization deals with the specific issues I'm concerned with in a comprehensive, local way.

As a result, I have a vision I've been toying with that I feel ready to share: https://nextcloud.nullarch.com/s/qkkisXnC5iw2EAX

I'm very open to feedback or interest in this idea/project.

Migrating back here from my previous, now-defunct, account @nix@social.stlouist.com. if you know me please boost so I can reconnect with followers.

This is a good time for an #introduction I suppose.

I'm an #educator from #stl that firmly believes in decentralized self organization, such as #anarchism, #socialecology, #solarpunk, or #librarysocialism.

Also I'm a big #urbanism and #foss nerd and #ebike commuter. I'm very involved in the local #freestore and trying to help organize larger #postcapitalist ventures.
