What I woke up to.
I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:
Do we have the right to financial rebellion? A conversation with Enric Duran — Steemit
It’s clear that you can't build this kind of alternative if you don't break the laws of the state,” Duran says. “We need to practice economic disobedience in a way that supports these alternatives.” Duran has many inspirations, including the Zapatista movement.

Hey London ppl: can you or do you know anyone who can help me get some estrogen and tblockers, just to last a week-month. I just moved here and signed up for a GP and should be registered Wednesday but I'm going to run out of both before then, and hopefully I can get a same day appointment but they are usually taking 3 weeks :o
Boosts and help very very appreciated.

Earlier I pledged that I would make my reaction to public events as a letter to the editor rather than a toot.

I’m sick to death of people being precious about #GMO produce. Functionally there is no difference between a grape bred to have little or no seed and a grape that has been modified in a lab for the same thing. Y’all are just scared of science.
You wanna talk about #Monsanto charging for “licenses” for their crops, ok. Talk about agribusiness killing the planet, ok. Talk about corporations copyrighting genetic code, ok. These are all valid concerns.
But the science is sound.

Dams mess with ecosystems. These little guys are a cool alternative.
'The internet has helped to bring people together from all over the world, but it has not helped neighborhoods or communities nearly as well. The #GrassrootWavelengths project is piloting solutions for community information platforms and media pluralism...'

Puzzled . . @mako makes a clear pitch on "Free software production needs free tools" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_nK6nP_RCY&feature=youtu.be
And is very clear on #commons and #P2P (though says most code comes from solo not collaboration!). Yet not a hint of coop ownership of #platforms to keep tools honest & open (GitHub!). Surely tools today become platforms? And platforms require collaboration even if code doesn't? So why doesn't #coop follow automatically, as we talk tools? How does libre not equal coop in FLOSS world?

Some pictures of the "bai jia bei" #quilt which I ended up finding through my friend Sari. It's safely arrived and opened, so I can post pictures without spoiling anything. And more info, thanks to Dr. Marin Hanson, International Quilt Curator at the Quilt Study center at University of Nebraska-Linkcon http://ruthtillman.com/bai-jia-bei-the-one-hundred-families-quilt/
