Design’s Role in Transitioning to Cultures of Repair – Decolonising Perspectives
did not finish this article yet, but the title still holds its promise: https://repair.design/2019/09/06/designs-role-in-transitioning-cultures-of-repair-decolonising-perspectives/

Tony Fry's point [is] that climate change is a massive repair challenge for cities: e.g., changed climates causing existing buildings to need (new kinds of) #repair

We are in this together, not decided.

Let's become preppers, but as in planting and caring for Forrests and rivers, acres and orchards, animal husbandry and care for people. As in reorganize the economy on needs instead of profits. To make this planet less worse. #pda

Current #education plans are in no way dealing with the future #climatebreakdown beyond an individualistic approach of consumption shaming. No preparation, no resilience, no #regeneration and no emotional preparation.

"The anarchist movement itself however is not in great shape. We’ve been poorly served by the last decade as we’ve only partially progressed in reconciling relatively new, influential ideals about fighting intersecting social oppressions with our far older base politics.

(...) We have minimal resources to work with and a modern cohort seemingly primed to squabble rather than coalesce."

"We are socialists, disbelievers in property, advocates of the equal claims of all to work for the community as seems good — calling no-one master, and of the equal claim to each to satisfy as seems good to them, their natural needs from the stock of social wealth they have laboured to produce ...We are anarchists, disbelievers in the government of the many by the few in any shape and under any pretext."

You may never heard about this project before, but that does not say anything about its importance (beyond the "edgy" title):

Autarky Library (509 free e-books)

https://edgeryders.eu/t/autarky-library-509-free-e-books/

This is a collection of material to learn autarky 97 (economic self-reliance / self-supply) for individuals, households and villages. All materials relevant for that can be included here, as long as they are more comprehensive than the ubiquitous article format. Only material that is free to download is of interest here (with a few exceptions). Here is what we found so far, and you’re welcome to extend it (just edit away, this is a wiki).
