Hey y'all. Long time no post. I'm going through a bit of a transition lately, and not just digitally. Life is changing, all for the Glory of God and in His Providence.
From now on, this blog will be less for gardening stuff, and more for a personal journal and opinions of my own. If you liked the gardening and farming content, it will resume soon at my new blog page. Please, feel free to unfollow this page and give that one a follow as soon as I bore or offend you here while exposing my biases that I've tried to keep down out of fear of boring and offending people I don't know. I'm not so concerned with that anymore. We can all get over that together, eh?
I've been continuing some short form gardening content at my telegram page, where I've shared some bits of encouragement and goings on at the farm. If you're on telegram, you're more than welcome there.
I thought for a while on closing this handle and going inactive, but that's not happening right now. Right now this will allow me a bit of an outlet for my own rants and ideas, keeping out of the garden inasmuch as that's possible in a really interconnected system.
Here lately I've been going through a bit of a rough time. I can look back on it, as I'm a couple days past what I now see was a paralyzing despair over the state of things beyond my control. I've been in a blackpilled phase, the cure for which was getting my head out of my ass and actually doing something. Thus the importance of ritual to keep off the vicious cycle of laziness and depression, I suppose. It is what it is though, and someone out there is making progress against you, whether you're making progress or not.
So as I come back tentatively from another season away, I want to up my relevance on this platform. I'll be honest, I haven't kept up with much of the chain-specific things since the hard fork. I'm gonna tag this one with #introduceyourself because I do feel like I'm starting over here. I don't know any of the communities that I'd be relevant in. I'm into 3D printing, anarchy of course, decentralized mindset, intentional community, traditional christian values, and more. Where are some good communities to talk about such things? I'll be looking on my own of course, but asking people can sometimes lead to better results than your own ventures. Also, where do I follow curation trails? I need to build my HP back up.
Don't downvote me for having a lot of posts and using the introduce yourself tag though, it's with the best intentions. Trying to plug back in here, so bear with me a minute while I try and catch up.
Oh the foxfirehomestead link didn't work! Have you logged on with that yet?
Got it. You wrote peaks.com ///
Thanks, I think I got it fixed now :)
Noob mistake
You're always welcome, Nate. It's hard to keep up here. I find it better to connect with people I like rather than communities these days, but I tend to like popping in to all sorts of places. Be you. You're pretty good at that.
It's been a very rough year for many. I hear that.
Glad to see something from you @nateonsteemit . Will keep an eye out for the other's posts too.
How are things up there? Y'all cooling off? It's pre-fall here, where all the leaves fall off because it's hot and dry instead of because it's autumn lol
As part and parcel of this very odd weather year, almost on Sept 1 the temps cooled down and the humidity left. Very fall like, very unusual. Harvesting like mad, now the Memorial is over.
Yeah, it's been cool here the last few mornings. I may start breeding rabbits a couple weeks earlier than I thought. That's an extra half a gestation period onto when I thought I'd start...
But more rabbits!
I was recently thinning that I hadn't seen you pop up in my feed for a while. I hear you on the paralysing despair at the state of things currently. Hopefully we'll be reading more from you again soon.
If in doubt about which community, go @proofofbrain.
Cool, thanks mini! I followed their community page, I'll probably be posting there soon.
"Foxfire Orchards." Nice. Are you familiar with the Foxfire magazine? Our library has collections their articles in book form covering all manner of farming, crafts, and folklore topics.
Yeah, those books are the namesake of my venture 💚
I only have the first one, but I think there's nearly ten of them.
Hi Nate,
Nice to hear you're still around, struggling or not. I'm sure many of us, myself included, can relate.
There is actually a rant/ complain / talk community, where I sometimes post if I just feel like doing exactly that.
Wishing you all the best and I will definitely keep an eye on your future output.
Cheers,
Vincent
Ooh, that'll be a perfect! Sounds like exactly the place where I'd want to engage :)
I am offended you think you can offend me....
Imma try.
Good to see you're still on here friend! Still buying arrr?
I sure hope to get offended as much as possible. Bring it! :D
