You should try to have media and hobbies that don't need electricity. When the power goes out, your bicycle still works, your books are still there, your acoustic instruments don't care and sound just as good, your hand tools still work. Remember the goal is to live, not just survive. #Prepper

It can't be overstated how much fitness matters in #SHTF scenarios. You can perform more work. You will get injured less, and reduce the risk of being crippled in a post medicine world. Please find a physical activity you enjoy. #Prepper

Walking is great for you. You should try walking around your neighborhood every day. As a Human, your ancestors evolved to walk extremely well. While out on your walk, find a Big Stick, and make it into a Good Spear. Congratulations, you are vastly more effective in combat. #Walking #Prepper

For those seeking to learn new languages, exposure and immersion help SO much. Try finding local meetups where you can have conversations with real people. Watch movies and read books in the language you are trying to learn, apps will only take you so far. #Language #Spanish

Trees are a great litmus test for someone's character. Case 1: Someone doesn't have opinions on trees. That's great, you can take them to parks and forests and talk about trees. Case 2: Someone loves trees. That is a good new-friend material. Case 3: Someone dislikes trees. Avoid them. #Trees

Incredible lecture series ongoing by #BrandonSanderson on how to write for scifi/fantasy. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Even a casual reader, writer, or GM will gain so much from these lectures. Understanding narrative can be its own form of enjoyment. #DungeonMaster #Fantasy #ScienceFiction

AI will continue to disrupt many creative careers. While fighting for some form of wealth redistribution, please remember: Many things are worth doing, even when others do it better than you ever could. Continue creating; even if it just becomes a form of expression. #AI

Consistency is often dramatically more powerful than talent or temporary motivation. The Tortoise and the Hare applies to learning skills or developing mastery as well. If you can find anything you like to do, and do it every day, for years on end, you'll become incredible.

At Costco, empty boxes come from the aisles. Often, the front of the store runs out because Costco is crazy busy on weekends. The empty boxes are still in the aisles. Just grab some from the sections as you shop, and you'll have your goddamn boxes. #Costco

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

Prepper tip to save a bit of money, that scales well with residence size. Heating one room is more efficient than an entire apartment. Use a space heater for the room you are in the most. Whole countries do this, for inspiration check out Japan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=puzx... #Prepper #Climate

If you are are currently not in a position to upgrade to Windows 11, and you also can't afford a new laptop or computer, consider switching to Linux. Many varieties of Linux are great for older computers. Linux Mint is a great start for those used to Windows. linuxmint.com #Linux #OpenSource

Every single year it seems like the Science Fiction world we are choosing is going to be Altered Carbon. If we haven't fixed income inequality by the time aging is cured, humanity is done for. And that's if Climate Change doesn't get us all in the first place.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

As the measles outbreak grows, and if you can and your insurance covers it, please try and get an adult MMR booster. Particularly if you're 20+ years out from your initial MMR series. I personally got mine at CVS a few months ago and it was an easy process! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This is serious. PLEASE vaccinate your kids. Measles is NOT a “normal childhood illness” and people telling you it is are either 1) lying or 2) uninformed because they are too young to remember dire complications from vaccine-preventable illnesses. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Create and maintain local copies of data and media you love. Key word is "Local". Not on some corporation's cloud, not tied to anyone with a profit motive. Take back ownership of your stuff. r/DataHoarders has some good info www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarde... #Antifascist #DataHoarder #RightToOwn

in our ongoing capitalist hellscape, something meaningful you can do for your own mental health is avoid advertisements. In no particular order: - Use adblockers online - Purchase physical media you can actually own - If you can't afford an ad free option, don't use any option. #NoAds #Antifascist

For those on the fence about contraceptive solutions: If you live in the U.S. and have been thinking about getting a vasectomy, you should get on as soon as possible. You might not be able to get one until after our next civil war. #Contraceptives #CivilWar #BirthControl

A medical prepper tip: if you or a loved one is dependent on medication for survival or health, you need to have a backup supply. Talk to your doctors on the logistics of building an emergency supply. Many medications are shelf stable for years, this can buy you valuable time. #Prepper #Medicine

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Another prepper tip: Propane can be stored indefinitely. A 20lb tank gives you 10ish hours of cooking time. That's a lot of pasta, cooked stir fry, grilled meats, etc. And you can own more than one tank. Buy a camping grill and some tanks, use it often. #Prepper #Propane #PropaneAccessories
