Where goblincore swamp and solarpunk forest meet, where the sacred grove is being tended, the bog creature has been up to this:

• Lots of DIY food production. This year I'm probably at 50% home grown and home raised.
• Continuous learning and improving to work low tech as well as low energy input (short transport paths, few step processes) around house and garden.
• Recycle and reuse. Got no money anyways, great chance to learn how to reuse everything. My furniture is punk as fuck, most is self-build or recovered. Sewing machine shall be my powerful ally for making new clothes out of old ones.
• Small, smaller, still smaller, and very quiet. I practice degrowth as a spiritual practice. I try to notice and to consider my many non-human neighbours and consciously try to keep a tiny footprint and to do a slow and steady work instead of big interventions.
• I used to be more active in community work, but it's not within my means and capabilities at the moment. Seeds I helped plant in the past are growing though, so that's not lost and I will pick it up again in the future.
• Returning to joyful creative work. My spirit of creating had been fucked over for years by the power of the algorithm and I am rediscovering my true roars and whispers.
• Remain open to new ideas out there and try to keep a bit updated about what the youngsters do and want and like, to not become a fossil.
