if a non profit provides charity- whatever way it does so (but tangible and measurable) - then it qualifies as completely tax exempt, REGARDLESS of ideology, preaching, political statements, other first amendment behaviors, etc.

Okay, this isn't research, nor is the WaPo article this guy mentions, research. Nor is it "science"
Steve has a Narrative Agenda- as does the WaPo-
Let me explain what's going on here, since I'm reading the original original source paper.
I think that if you are being introduced to cottage core or getting your thoughts together about it in 2022, All you are seeing is the consumerized version of cottage core.

Doomer time! - Depending on your iedology, inflation is either 8% and all the fault of Putin sabotaging the US, or closer to 19% (more like 30% over two years) and caused by lockdowns, labor market reductions, wealth centralization. 1/
(notice how every time there's a public health or economic crisis, the actions "for the benefit of the population" increase the wealth gap???? small business never wins. and yes, your 2 acre farm is a small business)

OH HELL YEAH. Look, this is more important than people want to admit to- but our psychology is, truly, more important than even our bodies, in the end.
Look, the first and foremost thing about OTG (off grid) or "homestead" aesthetics is to clean up. pull the weeds, make the piles neat. If you have junk? fine- but don't let trash and stuff take over. Keep it neat.
Clean up.

Okay. Electric tractors. Dooooomer optimism time:
This is one of those things, like with distributed wind energy, where people don’t know what they don’t know.
THREAD 1/
(distributed wind is based on lots of smaller, FRU, reusable material (steel, brnxe, copper) wind generators spread out along the grid to provide a chaotic steady energy supply. And the vast majority of you will have missed at least 3 key elements in that short explanation)

This is not the 1st time I've run into this week. There was another guy a couple days ago who is supposedly a veteran and shares a lot of mutuals with me... Who States flat out that his intention if things go sideways is to make food producers into slaves... 1/3
And now we have this guy who thinks that any effort a effort in independence is doomed because the marauders will come and take your stuff. ( He mentions something about firearms in a context that only proves that he doesn't know anything about firearms) 2/3

🧵lots of people on libertarian twitter are very upset about increased deployments, especially of AIR assets, in the preparation to end our presence in afghanistan.

first, I don't trust the politicians, or the established interests. So I'm very... untrusting of the future of the drawdown and exit.
However, I also understand a little bit the risks involved in an exit.

🧵This account is my activist/public marketing account. I have a small youtube channel and some other media/video projects.
This account is here for spreading that, talking weird philosophy, and philosophical/psychological activism.
BUT. there are numerous people who know me in person, and so this account is, for them, my PERSONAL account (I have one, incidentally, I don't use it much. because it's PERSONAL)

🧵covid thread time. we have death numbers and NYT lies 🧵
okay, I found some data. Let's start with the NYT "not data" article nytimes.com/interactive/20…
before you look at the trest, make some notes about what sorts of questions this raises for a critical thinker. percentages instead of numbers, scaling of histograms, rapid switching of types of data.
