  Baby steps. First @geosocialcoop poetry "slam" (more like a hug?) was a joy, and meaningful in interesting ways -- the choices of poems, the flow, the reactions, the laughter. Many people read their own work, which was great.

  Please forward. There is conversation about a proposed gathering of collectively/cooperatively/democratically run Mastodon instances. As @natematias has pointed out, this conversation needs to start with #bipoc, #lgbtqia+, and other people who have been (and continue to be) attacked in social media spaces. If you are running a #Black, #BIPOC, #LGBTQIA+ or other instance, does a gathering of collective/cooperative instances seem useful to you? #deij #blackmastodon https://app.element.io/...

  @GEO_Collective is running a #poetry slam as a fundraiser on May the fourth. It's really about the #solidarityeconomy, but bring what makes this life worth living for you! (Why May 4th? That's the date of the worker demonstration at #Haymarket Square in Chicago that May Day commemorates.)

  Just had a great conversation with @leogaggl and @lynnfoster about value flows, recipes, cooperation, MRV, OFN, DFC and more! Another aspect of the fediverse, and especially social.coop, that I have come to relish and count on. #valueflows #cooperatives #farming

  Maybe my favorite part of cooking beans is going through and removing bits of clay that inevitably find their way in. This is a mix of Anasazi and Pinto beans. (Can you find the clay bit?)

  The bear cubs are play fighting in the field across the street while mama lounges and keeps watch.

  Just sent off the final chapter of #cooperative_enterprise_and_Market_Economy by @luisrazeto to GEO's constant web gardener @GuerillaOntologist This is an odd book. Its central proposition – that the market is to be “perfected” – looks like some kind of Chicago School fantasy but turns out to be a call for radical social, economic, political and cultural transformation. What appears to be a proof of the economic viability of the cooperative enterprise, turns out to be an argument for...

  Another good day on the farm, mostly bed prep., spreading compost, tilthing, laying drip tape. #sun_mountain_farm_club

  I want to share easy, attractive worker co-op educational materials with my co-workers to help people prepare to write bylaws. I just looked at Start.coop and LA Co-op Lab. Both are good, the former uses a "canvas" model to guide people through the relevant questions. The latter offers beautifully designed guides that you can see online. But I am hesitant to use either because I think they make assumptions (e.g. a board/member structure) where they should just ask questions. Th...

  Good to remember that Venezuela is also home to one of the most successful cooperative networks in the world: #Cecosesola, demonstrating the capacity of the people to "run" their economy.

  Does anyone know what legal entity is used by La Via Campesina? I assume it is some form of Association under Belgian law, but I don't know. #laviacampesina

  Joyeux Germinal! "Encore, encore, de plus en plus distinctement, comme s’ils se fussent rapprochés du sol, les camarades tapaient."

  Good #NoKings turnout in Colorado Springs. Always a joy to see a huge black pickup roll by with FUCK TRUMP flags flying.

  We got our greeting cards from Papeton Printing Cooperative. Art and logo by my coworkers Jenny and Al. Hoping to raise more money this year. Other farm news: looks like I will be on BCS duty soon, prepping vegetable beds. I've heard those two wheeled tractors are a handful. #sun_mountain_farm_club
