  • Ooo I will definitely check it out. I love worlds that span multiple mediums.

  • let's talk automation

  • Yea Trello can be daunting. My old boss had us use it for a while so I sort of had to learn it. Since then I've managed to do a lot with powerups to make it work better for me but the set up took some time.

    I was using Evernote but it just became a cluttered mess with all my notes

  • Never heard of buzzkill but after looking it up I am a hundred percent in. I have a friend who only texts in tiny short bursts of 200 one sentence texts.

  • Im using it to keep track of buying a house with my partner (there are so many little steps) and I love being able to leave comments so I remember or so he can update me on stuff.

  • Hm. Top scifi recommendations are going to be Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (you probably already read that one though) Hyperion by Dan Simmons The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is on my to read list. Parable of the Sower (its not really scifi but is good fiction that looks at our world post climate issues from the eyes of a 15 year old)

    Not a book but an amazing three season sci fi series on Netflix is Dark (its German, the dub is not terrible)

    Fantasy Recs: Any Ursla Le Guin Shadow and Bone (it has a netflix series too) Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrel (Regency novel but with magic) Anything by Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea (retelling of Korean folk myth that is a little romancey and not super deep but I thoroughly enjoyed reading especially since I was not familiar with the myth)

    Recommeded by r/collapse (I have yet to start any of these) When things fall apart : heart advice for difficult times by Pema Chodron Where the deer and the antelope play : the pastoral observations of one ignorant American who loves to walk outside by Nick Offerman Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond (volumes 1&2) Duino Elegies by Rainer Maria Rilke, as translated by S. Mitchell Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet by Thich Nhat Hahn Prosper by Chris Martenson and Adam Taggart The Fifth Sacred Thing A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers Station 11 How to Prepare for Climate Change by David Pogue The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of Our World by Iain McGilchrist

    Non-Fiction: Deep Ecology (I will have to check my bookshelf for the author) The Sand County Alamac by Aldo Leopold Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation (funny and educational about mating habits of other species framed as an advice column)

    Anyway I will edit and add to this tonight or tomorrow to add things I am forgetting from my bookshelf (if I don't remember to edit give me a poke, ADHD makes things hard)

  • I'm using habitica but honestly I hate the app and there is some drama there that may make me leave. Also I have integrated all my calendars so it is all linked to my Google calendar and shows work and personal. And Trello it's a virtual kanban board with cool integrations

  • While I agree with this it doesn't address the issues at least in the US with the cost of rent and all the problems associated with renting (landlords and property management companies treating their residents like garbage) I wish we could have more apartments where the unit is owned by the individual.

  • Aw man I haven't even thought about that sub til now. It was my morning coffee scroll. It will take forever to build something like that here.

  • I had mixed results with the community. I got some great articles that I was able to share to raise awareness, some great book recommendations for everything from coping with stress to fiction to distract myself to useful sustainability topics.

    But it also wreaked havoc on my mental health overall and I got downvoted for trying to find environmental communities that werent just big corporations in disguise or ineffective at their goals.

    Overall definitely not going to miss it but a community that isn't afraid to talk about collapse while still trying to find some solutions (even if just small individual solutions) would be welcome imo.
