DO YOU HEAR ME? GET UP.
If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem. I loved it and the themes of the game, and wanted to use it as practice to see if i can control the way readers ‘hear’ the words through images.
look at my spoons boy
ive been trying to change my way of living but honestly, the past few months have mostly been stagnation. i got the knowledge about the things i want to change about myself and how to do it - the problem lies in the fact that i don't have enough will to actually, truly try.
this post is a promise - because if it's written somewhere, if someone sees it - it becomes real.
i will let myself change
i will welcome the feeling of being lost and confused while taking new roads and paths
i will let myself discover things anew and let go at the same time
i AM done with stagnation.
DIGITAL PIRACY 101
Pinning this since I genuinely think Piracy is a great skill to have and I want to share it with anyone who'd like to see it
Okay so! You need to download something!
Be it a movie, a game, a software, a book. Where do you even start? You know people catch viruses or fines pirating, so how to do it, and do it safely? This is going to be a bit verbose, so coloured text has the most important info. THIS WILL BE LONG but you can just skim it! (P.S. there are some goodies for artists in the end so do take a peek there if you do art and would like courses or procreate brushes) By the end of this you should be able to download or stream almost anything.
(Disclaimer: I'm not super knowledgeable on the technical side of things, just a moderately seasoned pirate. Will explain stuff to the best of my abilities, but there will be wild semplifications. If there's any issue, or precisations you'd like to make, or just need a hand with something, feel free to reach out to me directly on here!)
Putting a cut here so I don't spam your dashes <3 - now, here we go:

idk man! going to the library just to hang out, work on a puzzle. wearing clothes people have given to me rather than clothes I've bought. jewelry my friends have made me. writing letters. cooking food from scratch. walking a LOT. taking public transportation. braiding my hair before bed. having a cup of tea on my porch. saying hi to my neighbors and participating in workplace contests and stopping at the farmers stands on the side of the road. going to local events. smashing entire handfuls of wild berries in my fingers just to KNOW what nature is like. complimenting strangers and chatting with cashiers and bus drivers and everyone. listening to local music. buying organic when I can. putting everything down and petting my cat or thinking about eating my apple when I do. savoring the taste. refusing to listen to anything but happy music before noon. slowing down and connecting with the world might save u. idk.
DIY notebook/junk journal tutorial for people on a budget
I found myself watching a lot of bookbinding videos recently & had the realization: I could probably do that at home, for free. And I was right. So before an influencer convinces you to drop 50 dollars on a book press and a fancy bonefolder, here's how:
How do you do media archiving? Specifically from Netflix? I'm kind of afraid to google it.
Hey there sprout! 🌱
Downloading and saving everything ever!
Netflix, I couldn't tell ya. I've heard some ppl have managed it but personally I go through either my typical movie sites - which often have a download option
As seen here ^^
On wcostream Firefox and safari both allow you to right click and straight up save the video. Firefox also has some extentions that help you save videos in general.
Alternatively, either New Pipe or y2mate are places where you can download anything you find in YouTube, videos or music.
Once downloaded, while I'd suggest your own physical drive, a Google Drive will do if you don't have access. Once organized and secured, I'd also personally get it into a physical media. If you can swing it, a few places do sell USB connected DVD burners (I'm waiting for Yule for mine!) And then blank DVDs are super cheap I bought over 50 blank ones for 2.99 where I am.
I hope this is helpful!
A basic point of Solarpunk is it's focus on local communities. So, get to know your communities!
Local Politics
How does your local Govenment work? Who are the people involved in it?
What is the main political climate and view in your area?
What are the most active community organisations?
What are Grasrootmovements in your areas?
Are there known leftist organisations or communities?
Local Infrastrucure
Libraries and Archives
independent buisnesses like bakerys, bookstores etc
central community centres
Thrift stores
Nature preservation centres or organisations
Food kitchens
package-free and bulk stores
Local Newspapers
Bus lines and scedules
Bike repair shops
Queer Bars and Centres
Tailors and shoe repair shops
abandoned or empty buildings/ properites
Local History
How did people live in your area 50 Years ago? 100? 200? 500? What are their trades, culture, how did they get their food?
What is the geological and ecological history of your area? The quality of the soil? The availability of water? Local Plants?
What are some major historical events your area went through? How did they shape the peoples point of view?
What are the oldest buildings in Town? Research the architecture and building materials, as they commonly are localy sourced and help with sustainable building in your area!
These are just some ideas so please feel free to add!
i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much
i truly believe that knowing how to cook is a basic survival concept and the fact that so many people can’t even make simple dishes is depressing as hell this is the sorta thing that should be taught at a young age. being able to take the ingredients you have around your home and turn them into a meal is like, essential and will make life so much better. you don’t need to be a high end chef you just need to understand some things that can be easily taught… but then again maybe the education system is playing a roll against this and ultimately they want you to grow up to rely on mcdonalds for dinner. i don’t know. please learn how to cook for yourself if you’re able. i’m not asking you to hunt for specific ingredients to make some expensive youtuber’s “best” recipe but if you know the basics of cooking you can do a lot with cheap canned ingredients. cooking can be affordable i promise you just need to learn how to make do with what you can get
Can anyone point me towards resources that teach those basics cus I would LOVE to teach my child this stuff but i dont know how to cook
not comprehensive but heres some:
internet shaquille’s basics but especially:
making rice
making scrambled eggs
making oatmeal
levels of cooking meat
using & storing vegetables with recipes in the description (this one has a bit of Sassiness directed at people who dont like vegetables but the content is solid)
food safety + a recipe to demonstrate
how to learn to cook (just a list of subtopics, no actual tips)
cooking techniques playlist
how to cut x
basics with babish s1 & 2, but particularly:
freezer meals,
weeknight meals,
kitchen tools (although the specific suggestions are pretty expensive even with the lower end scale items the basic categories are solid, and you can evaluate what items you will realistcially need - eg. if you dont need to read temp for steaks etc the temp reader will not be relevant) &
kitchen care (mid-high advanced home cooking)
basic knife skills
picking the right pan for each recipe
j. kenji lopez-alt’s tips and tricks playlist
egg recipes
a little more complicated, involved, and longer than any of the rest of these but good breakdown of flavor & how and why to use the basic seasoning/flavor profiles
and then recipe channels representing various cuisines:
j. kenji lopez-alt (various)
marion’s kitchen (southeast & east asian, western/asian fusion)
maangchi (korean)
future neighbor (mostly korean)
the western supermarket playlist of chinese cooking demystified (more recipes available but these are accessible if you dont have “specialty” ingredients)
family recipes playlist by made with lau (chinese)
not another cooking show (various)
cooking with boris (bear with me here i know he does it exaggeratedly humorously but a lot of them are actually solid and beginner cook friendly. mostly slavic/russian)
you suck at cooking (also falls into the intentionally humorous category but most of the recipes are pretty solid anyway)
how to cook that (baking, also does debunking videos of viral cooking hacks - breaks down the reasons the hacks dont work, pretty important to understand those basics imo)
internet shaquille (various)
babish culinary universe (various)
i REFUSE to recommended joshua weissman because he is fucking insufferable but if you want you can try if you can deal with it, the techniques/recipes seem fine for the most part
again definitely not a comprehensive list but it touches on most of the basics
Share, because I was one of them. Twenty years old and had no Idea how to made frozen spinache proberly. Still have to learn it know (and it’s hard, when your food had to feed five people and so had to be tasty).
tape casette recorders are compatible with literally every. single. thing. im out here living in 2095.
things you can record (audio only), simply by lying to your computer, telling it that the tape recorder is actually a set of headphones:
discord call
podcast
documentary
radio and internet radio
music, from any source. without having to download it at all.
music you make on virtual pianos/etc
noteworthy news items (fireside esque, interviews, huge events)
stand-up comedy
rented or borrowed media
any other sound your pc can produce
and with a VCR you could do all of this AND have the visuals as well… but an audio cassette recorder is a good place to start, since they’re small and simple. I would not recommend a boombox, because those are large and nowadays all very, very bad quality.
Now you may be saying “how is any of this helpful, I want a digital file…” here’s the fucking magic. You go into Audacity (free program), and lie to it that the tape recorder is really a microphone. Then you hit record on Audacity, and hit play on the tape, and let it play at regular speed. Trim and export the digital file, and you’re doing gangbusters. You’re cooking with gas. You’re thinking with portals. You’ve won the internet.
Congratulations, you can “pirate”* anything you want, and literally no one can catch you, because you’re not downloading in the traditional sense. You’re streaming to an external device, and that device is recording what it receives. It’s exactly like taping a live tv show to a VHS. This is a very low-key and non-strenuous task for the computer, since your tape recorder does all the work.
*Is this piracy? No. Well- it’s time shifting. Sort of. Tell it to my Steely Dan albums. Tell it to my The Sims: Hot Date VG Soundtrack album.
OP, dropping surprising knowledge from across time and space:
Fun fact: this is called the analog loophole, and it’s completely impossible to close, even in principle. No matter how much copy protection you add to a piece of media, it will eventually have to be sent to a display and then turned into an audio/video output that humans can interpret, because… that’s the whole fucking point
So even if they find some way to encrypt the signal sent to the display so you can’t intercept it with a VCR or tape recorder (which would be exceedingly difficult if not impossible), at the end of the day you just can’t do anything about someone pointing a camera at the screen or a microphone at the speaker. Yo ho ho
(By the way, I’d love to see someone actually talk about the legal precedent of this wrt it being literally the same thing as recording a TV show on a VCR or recording a mixtape off of the radio, both of which I believe are absolutely unambiguously legal. OP may be right that this is literally, legally, not piracy, but I’m not a lawyer nor am I opposed to crimes so don’t ask me)
If you have a dual-ended 3.5mm audio cable, you can lie to your computer by downloading some software to tell it the headphone output is microphone input and skip a step entirely.
If you fan find an older computer with a dual 3.5mm output and input, it’s as easy as connecting a male-to-male 3.5mm audio cable into each end and booting up your favorite recording software of choice and trying not to bump the cable. The only annoying thing in my experience is waiting for it to be over so you can parse the audio file
if all you want is an audio file, you can do this with just software (no headphone jack required). virtual audio cable creates a linked pair of fake speaker/microphone devices on your computer. the exact same process of sending audio to Audacity through the cable works, just select the fake audio devices in the windows/application menus.
the free “lite” version (different from the trial of the paid one) lets you make one virtual cable, which is enough for just saving audio to a file. if you want to do something more complicated, the full version lets you make 256 cables (the license is $30, but I’m sure there’s other ways to get a copy if you look around).
Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
