Great ideas. We've got a lot of other wildlife around and my place too. I'm sure he'd enjoy that.

Purposefully constructing my life and orientating my actions in a way that resists the emergent inclination of our modern society to add complexity to life without compelling benefit. Simply put, seeking happiness through simplification.This can look different for everyone. For me personally this means closeness to nature, friendship and conversation, minimizing my financial obligations which minimizes my need to work, limiting screen time and unhelpful technology, striving to be present and appreciative, slowing down and enjoying stillness, caring for what I have, releasing myself from pressure to be someone else's "better" while remaining ambitious toward exploring my passions. These are just a few aspects that come to mind.
Lol this is very true 🤣. Point taken
I like the idea of trying to come up with categories to fulfill. That'll also make it easier to balance what we get each of them. Thanks!
Great idea!

For nonbinary decisions, You can also tell it to roll a die of any size, like a d10, d20, or a fair dice that doesn't mean exist like a D7. You can also just have it pick a number between X and Y, but thats not as fun haha.
I didn't really get that sentiment from the article. To me the author seems to emphasize the importance of religion/spirituality as important for providing an "existential orientation," although that point is somewhat obscured by their flowery, albeit precise, language. Though they do wrap up with that odd citation about having a cultural council, which seemed a bit out there for me.
Great article that discusses a lot of the good and bad of living an agrarian lifestyle. Simple definitely does not necessarily mean easy, but it can be rewarding by both qualities.
Something that comes to my mind is that you can definitely live a purely agrarian lifestyle like it were the 1800s or older as long as you take the lifestyle lock, stock, and barrel with it's benefits and hardships; people have been living this way for ages. But, I think what most people want are the benefits afforded by this lifestyle (the simplicity, feeling close to nature, working with your hand, etc) but to also enjoy the modern luxuries we're accustomed to (like technology, healthcare, etc), but it's really difficult to make this lifestyle support these desires.
What's worked for me is a hybrid lifestyle. I have a small house and a little land, I raise a big garden and my wife cans, so we grow most of our own food, but it's not a business, though we sometimes sell to a local restaurant and on Facebook when we have extra. We work really hard and try to be frugal, but we both also work part time jobs to make money, which gives a better return on investment for our time than we can get trying make it Simple living lifestyle support our modern needs. So we incorporate modern life employment to make simple living feasible and comfortable, but strive for simple living to make modern life minimized and tolerable.
Have a great day everyone!
I actually download that app a while back but haven't played with it yet! This sounds awesome! Ill definitely put time into learning to use it. Thank you!
I used Google Lens. never used it much when I first learned about it, but once one of my friends pointed out it could identify plants, animals, all kinds of stuff, I've been using it on my adventures to identify all kinds of stuff. If you're way out and don't have service you can even use it on photos to take later when you get home!
Saw this awesome little guy on the sidewalk and almost stepped on him because of his camouflage. so glad I didn't! I've never seen one before and I think its a leopard moth. if you look closely, some of his spots are a beautiful royal blue instead of black :) (Piedmont North Carolina).
