I'm thinking about trying to join an intentional community to learn the ropes of farm and homestead skills but especially learning the hardest skill of being a member of a horizontally organized democratic community (and all the mundane and not fun aspects involved). Maybe after a year or two of that, if I still have a taste for it, I might try to start my own somewhere. We're all we've got and I think just trying to survive 3°+ warming in the next couple of decades is gonna be really nasty.

How bout you?

    I have a friend who owns some land and is in the early phases of unironically starting a commune with a small group of people, so I'll be joining up with them for a while. In the highly likely case that falls apart (industrialized farm yields are already dropping which leaves me little hope for small-scale farming), I'm planning on killing myself.
