@jake4480 I used to have a small collection of histories, some explicitly anarchist, others just quietly telling the history of non-state, non-institutional communities doing “human-scale” things. Sadly, I decided to relieve myself of the burden of books (too many moves of too many heavy boxes). Now, I’m slowly rebuilding the library (when I can’t find the books in the local library).

Community pantry idea

What a great little initiative we have in our village. It's a community pantry where if you have things you don't need (vegetables, other foods, games, books, anything at all, really), or that you just want to donate, you bring them along to the pantry. If you see something you can use or need, just take it. That's community spirit.

Continued thread

There are SO MANY ways that mutual aid reduces waste and increases sustainability. We can't often engage in sustainable practices when we're broke and burned out. Your help—money, labor, emotional support—doesn't just affect your direct community; it helps every living being, and generations to come.

@txt_file The best option I found is to literally just download the video with #ytdlp and be done with that!

#YouTube's #AutoDubbing is not only an insult to the #NativeSpeakers that actually understand the language that got #dubbed into but it's also a disgrace to multilingual YouTubers that put in effort and the entire #Dubbing #Community that put their blood, sweat and tears into making decent #dubs that actually fit both time and are lipsync'd if not got minor edits to make them lipsync'd.

MastodonSteve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social)So much respect for multilingual YouTubers who re-record all their A-roll in multiple languages without dubbing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGVd_l3ago & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyKQV6OFCII for example. (Make sure to turn off YouTube's auto-dubbing, of course)

Today is the 5th Anniversary of the formal opening of Hitchin Hackspace in our own building on the 10th August 2019. It took us 7 years from the first meeting and the formation of Hitchin Hackspace to find and fit out a place of our own. During that time we held weekly meetings at the premises of another local community group which we rented for one night a week.

If you are thinking of starting a Hackspace in your own community stick at it, even if you don't have somewhere of your own to start with, a Hackspace is built on the people who form the Hackspace. You can achieve huge amounts without a physical space.

Summer Fest 2025 💥 #Boston

✨What an honor to lead a HIIT class at the 4th Annual Heatwave D4 Summer Fest in my home neighborhood of Dorchester. It was a full celebration of movement, #music, and #community resilience.

❤️The highlight for me? Having my mother, Millie, join the festivities. Her presence was a powerful reminder that this work is generational.

📣Huge thanks to Councilor Brian Worrell, The Hoop Collaborative, and everyone who made this day possible.
