A little #solarpunk sharing on this beautiful morning. Been following Way Out West's channel on Youtube for a while (unfortunately they don't seem to have a website or any presense off Youtube), and have found their projects incredibly interesting: a human-sized railway around their farm for hauling stuff, a peddle car, an induction heater, and various engines, including plans for a windmill. If you're interested in a break from the doom and gloom, their latest video is about making a cart for their railroad to help with the garlic harvest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBd0A3o5Xz4

Hand #sewing nerd thing: finally figured out how to splice thread, and having potentially never-ending thread on a project is giving me so much joy! This video is what made it click for me: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Iacr1totn8A I believe it's only really possible for me because I use thicker thread, and I really can't wait until I can try it out next time I do sashiko.

Just gave it a quick test on two of my Android devices, works great!

I mean, the reason to be here is the same as any other social forum: to hang out with people. We really don't need anything more than what Nostr has already.
