FRONT AND BACK GARDENS
Lots of people who grow veggies probably use their back garden but what about all of that available space in the front?

A lawn can look lovely but wouldn’t lots of fruits and vegetables look even better? If you only have a small space in the front of your house you can utilize containers for growing veggies.
It can also be a lovely way to cultivate friendships with passers by….it could even be the start of a community growing group where you coordinate who grows what.
URBAN SPACES
If you have no outdoor space at all to grow veggies, that’s not the end of the matter.
If you have no outdoor space at all to grow veggies, that’s not the end of the matter.
It’s almost guaranteed that there is some unused space within your community that would make the ideal spot for a veggie patch and for bringing people together, it’s just a case of finding the area and talking to the right people.
⁃ @whitemoor_garden_project on Instagram are a great example of finding an urban space. Watch them transform it on their page.
Let it all out.

So, nächstes Zugabenteuer!
Bin einen Zug früher da, weil zum Umsteigen 10 min angesetzt waren 🤡🤡
Der Zug davor hat Verspätung. Der Schmetterling von vorgestern ist auch noch nicht an der Startlinie.

Doch nicht, der Dosenbierfanclub ist auch eingestiegen. Dankenswerterweise im nächsten Wagen.
Die #Klimakrise, wenn sie uns bewusst wird, löst unangenehme Gefühle aus. Wir kriegen Angst, wir werden traurig, wenn wir die Zerstörung der Natur sehen. Wir werden wütend, wenn wir mitkriegen, wer die Verantwortlichen sind, welche Menschen das wussten & trotzdem nichts tun.

Das heißt, es findet eine gefühlsmäßige Aktivierung statt, wenn wir uns damit auseinandersetzen und wenn wir mit den Realitäten konfrontiert werden. Aber dann ist es schwierig für uns Menschen, nicht in der #Abwehr zu landen. Denn was sich schnell einstellt, ist Frustration.

Resignation, was kann ich schon als Einzelne*r dazu beitragen?
Überhaupt, wir sind gefangen in einer Lebensalltäglichkeit, die sehr viel von den Allermeisten von uns abverlangt (Alltag mit 40-Stunden-Woche, Betreuung von Kindern oder pflegebedürftigen Angehörigen o.ä.).

A few years ago my husband @benblair and my brother @floodstreet set out to create the most affordable, accredited, U.S.-based online university, and make it available to students all over the world. And they've succeeded. It's called Newlane University.
newlaneuniversity.com
newlaneuniversity.com
Each @NewlaneU degree is $1500, paid at $40/month. If you want to earn an Associates Degree & Bachelors Degree, that’s $3000 total. If you already have an Associates Degree, and want to earn a Bachelors Degree, it would be $1500. (The cheapest degree I've seen elsewhere is $5k.)
When you sign up, there's a one-time $249 registration fee. Try the program for 30 days and if it's not a good fit, no worries, they'll refund the fee. And you can pause the $40/mo at any time — like if there's a family matter that prevents you from studying for a few months.
Dumme alte Säcke, die zu faul sind, ihren egoistischen Lebensstil zu ändern, regen sich heute wieder über junge Leute auf, die für eine lebenswerte Zukunft auf die Straße gehen.

Since I'm a buddhist practioner, I'd like to share with you some of the techniques my masters have taught me, and that I've personally used, to overcome difficult moments with a stronger and wiser mind:

1. If you’re feeling anxious, sad or stressed, stop for a moment and focus your attention in the part of your body where you are feeling the tension. Then take 21 deep breaths, inhaling directly to that part of your body and exhaling from that exact point. This is magic!🔥
2. Emotions are just sensations in our bodies until we tie them to a story in our heads. If we can maintain the emotion just as that, a physical sensation, and not get engaged with all the reasons and narratives our mind gives us to confirm that emotion and making it a story...
The fact that he got a separate charge for climbing the wall when he didn’t even have to is just :::chefs kiss:::
This had to hurt. Getting snitched on by Info Wars.
A little story: “Everything you need to learn to be a rocket scientist is available online, right now, for free."
Several years ago, @BenBlair (my husband) and @JoshStanley (my brother) learned that premise and it stuck with them.

If that premise was true (and they could see it clearly was true), then tuition rates should be falling — and falling fast. But they’re not. U.S. College Tuition is outrageous, and it gets worse every year!

In response, they set out to build the Most Affordable, Accredited, U.S.-based, Degree-Granting University possible — and make it available to students all over the world. And they’ve succeeded.
Permit me to brag a bit about what they’ve built and why it's so cool.

How can I read academic literature quick(er)?
Happy to share an academic #LifeHack
I talked to my students about this, today, I thought others might find it interesting, too.
I'll illustrate using a a paper by @benwansell

Ok, let's see you open an article and you are like:
"Wait, whaaaaaaat 43 pages???"
"And it even contains maths!???!?11!"
So you can either
- switch to panic-mode
- you can drop the course & study program (please don't!)
- or you can read quicker
But how?

In my view, it is most important to know where the most important information is. You want that information.
You want the core info. But where is?

51. it's a long article
52. all misdirection. Mark "Cuban" grew up in a compound in the MUHAFAZAH of Mount Lebanon. His paternal grandfather was from "Russia" — but he was a NATUKHAY from the mouth of the Kuban River.Mark Cuban doesn't want you to know how his ancestors repeatedly attacked Trebizond.
Just told by an editor that giant clams are too specific to be featured in their journal. They said to try again when I study corals.

Gern möchte ich mich als Bürgerin mit Auto, Führerschein und einem Arbeitsplatz melden. Also quasi das @BMVI anschreiben und darauf hoffen, dass ich genauso gehört werde.
Bis jetzt war ich immer der Meinung, dass Regeln eingehalten werden müssen. Wenn das nicht der Fall ist, folgen Konsequenzen. Das heißt, wenn ich zu schnell fahre, dann bekomme ich ein Bußgeld.
Weil ich sowas weiß, fahre ich einfach nicht 70 km/h in der Stadt. Natürlich bin auch ich schon zu schnell gefahren, habe mich geärgert und dann die Konsequenzen getragen.
Is this a problem, or #NewPI #LifeHack ?
The only way I actually get manuscripts submitted and #writing done is to hole up in a coffee shop...
...in an adjacent town...😅
✅ final draft of short paper sent to student co-authors
📝 final draft of another paper with student cos

Update:
Must pause from 📝 this one to do human things. Like eat.
Hmm...how to sequester myself after that? 🐈 always make it hard 😆, but I’m *this* close

Husband had homework to do! So I managed to ✅ that second manuscript & send it out to co-authors! Woot!
Chalking up this one as a win! And off to bed 💤😴
Chalking up this one as a win! And off to bed 💤😴
I've been laying on my back on the floor for 10 minutes and I'm by far the most comfortable I have felt in days! That's great. But what am I going to do tomorrow? I'm certain that if I lay on my back in the courthouse it's going to be a problem.
Things are not going well. I'm in more and more pain whether standing still, lying in the bed, sitting in a chair, sitting in a comfy high back chair, you get the picture. I'm about to take a hot shower but would welcome other home remedies for muscle pain
I have an hour ride on the 4 train from the Northern Bronx to WTC. Yes, I am rocking a travel neck pillow (covered on the back by my hood, of course) and it's amazing. I might do this even when I'm not injured. #LifeHack
Je vais vous raconter une histoire assez abracadabrante de comment ma fille n'a pas vomi en voiture jusqu'à maintenant. #LifeHack ⬇️
Il faut savoir qu'elle est hyper sensible, du genre à remplir de vomi l'habitacle d'un Grand Scenic Intens dCi jusqu'à l'autoradio en 12 min
Ce qui fait qu'on doit s'arrêter toutes les 10 minutes (ou 5 virages) environ pour la faire sortir et respirer l'air frais. Un peu chiant.
