#womens land

One of the points of Greta Thunberg's book about the Climate, was about female land ownership, and how we need an increase of it. That actually surprised me, not that I didn't think of it before, but because it was presented as one of the solutions.

Greta actually looked at what happens to the land when women reign over it, or when women even just have access to it and are allowed to work on it, and noticed that women almost always, naturally, regenerated the land. Women will go and plant trees on their land immediately, and feed their families with the produce it makes. Women will not even stop at planting trees on their land, they'll go and re-forest the surrounding areas too, sharing secrets of the trees with others who can benefit from the extra free food. Women will plant native species, bushes, flowers, gardens, revitalize the soil, add life to the dirt and the sand, and this is something that is recorded consistently and long term with the female land ownership, land is not only regenerated, but used for immediate benefit of all life on it. That includes humans, animals, bugs, bacteria, plants and the local environment in general.

Greta also points out that most of the land that women are working on, is currently not their own. They're most often lending their hands to the land owned by their husbands, brothers, uncles, relatives or landlords, and these m*n will sometimes decide to undo all that work, and build something environmentally destructive on it in order to make a personal profit.

This is why Greta implores that is important that women own more land, personally and with full power over what happens to it. Women having full control over land is nature's way of regeneration and prevention of climate change. Give land to the women to fight climate change.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I can’t figure out how to subscribe to maize? their website doesn’t seem to have a link

The best way to do it is to email them

They will get back with you on how to subscribe. Sometimes it takes a few days but they will contact you.

There is no stupid question, only jerks who won't give you an answer. LOL The are sort of old school so they don't have an on line sign up button and the website is pretty simple and mostly just a landing page.

Israel is Intentionally targeting press in Gaza beacuse they know they are committing mass war crimes and genocide and doesn't want the world to see it. But they take to twitter to provide fake evidence against Palestine, which has been proved as fake hundreds of times. The villainization of the Palestinian people is outrageous. The audacity is un real.

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week. #6

Feb 16-23 2024

The EPA announced 5.8 billion dollars in funding upgrade America's water systems. 2.6 billion will go to wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, while the remaining $3.2 billion will go to drinking water infrastructure. $1 billion will go toward the first major effort to remove PFASs, forever chemicals, from American drinking water. The Administration all reiterated its plans to remove all lead pipes from America's drinking water systems, its spent 6 billion on lead pipe replacement so far.

The Department of Education announced the cancellation of $1.2 billion in student loan debt reliving 153,000 borrowers. This is the first debt cancellation through the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan, which erases federal student loan balances for those who originally borrowed $12,000 or less and have been making payments for at least 10 years. Since the Biden Administration's more wide ranging student loan cancellation plan was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023 the Administration has used a patchwork of different plans and authorities to cancel $138 billion in student debt and relieve nearly 4 million borrowers, so far.

First Lady Jill Biden announced $100 million in federal funding for women’s health research. This is part of the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research the First Lady launched last year. The First Lady outlined ways women get worse treatment outcomes because common health problems like heart attacks and cancer are often less understood in female patients.

The Biden Administration announced 500 new sanctions against Russian targets in response to the murder of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny. The sanctions will target people involved in Navalny's imprisonment as well as sanctions evaders. President Biden met with Navalny's widow Yulia and their daughter Dasha in San Francisco

The White House and Department of Agriculture announced $700 Million in new investments to benefit people in rural America. The projects will help up to a million people living in 45 states, Puerto Rico, and the Northern Mariana Islands. It includes $51.7 million to expand access to high-speed internet, and $644.2 million to help 158 rural cooperatives and utilities provide clean drinking water and sanitary wastewater systems for 578,000 people in rural areas.

The Department of Commerce signed a deal to provide $1.5 billion in upgrades and expand chip factories in New York and Vermont to boost American semiconductor manufacturing. This is the biggest investment so far under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act

the Department of Transportation announced $1.25 billion in  funding for local projects that improve roadway safety. This is part of the administration's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program launched in 2022. So far SS4A has spent 1.7 billion dollars in 1,000 communities impacting 70% of America's population.

The EPA announced $19 million to help New Jersey buy electric school buses. Together with New Jersey's own $45 million dollar investment the state hopes to replace all its diesel buses over the next three years. The Biden Administration's investment will help electrify 5 school districts in the state. This is part of the The Clean School Bus Program which so far has replaced 2,366 buses at 372 school districts since it was enacted in 2022.

Bonus: NASA in partnership with Intuitive Machines landed a space craft, named Odysseus, on the moon, representing the first time in 50 years America has gone to the moon. NASA is preparing for astronauts to return to the moon by the end of the decade as part of the Artemis program. All under the leadership of NASA Administrator, former Democratic Senator and astronaut Bill Nelson.

I might have the opportunity to put a down payment on 100 acres of wilderness!! I'm poor as fuck so this is a huge deal and I hope I'm not overlooking something that would make this a bad idea! I don't want to jump the gun but I also don't want to wait too long and lose it. Going for for a road trip with my bf and his dad soon to check it out if the listing is still up in a few weeks. What are some things you would do first if you had a lot of land in the middle of nowhere with not much chance of road or hydro access? Note I wouldn't have to go live there immediately so it could be long term plans. You probably inspired me to find this property in the first place btw <3 Thank you for your writing and your blog.

Hey that is incredible! I'm so happy for you! I wish I could come and see your soon-to-be property, it sounds incredible.

I've been thinking about what are the first things to be done, and since you have such great amount of space, you have to get familiar with it, and see what good spots you have, what plants and trees are growing there, the quality and the composition of the soil, and most important, where the water goes.

People are advised to watch over a new property for a year before deciding to build anything, because you can't know until you see the land during summer, autumn, winter and fall, where the water flows on it, where it stays, what direction it goes to, if it overflows and creates ponds in some areas, if there are streams in the spring, and this is incredibly important if you're planning to build anything. It's also good to see what's your highest point, and your lowest point, and if you have any clover growing! (clover=quality planting soil)

There are things you can do way before deciding to build anything, and it's planting fruit trees, establishing perennial plants, putting strawberries wherever you want them so they would spread by the time you start living there.

I've seen people drawing a map and then making plans to where everything should be, so that they don't start building something, and later realize that it would have been better to put another thing in that spot, but with such a big property, it might be a bit overwhelming! I would start by just finding a nice little corner with a great view and access to water (like if there's a pond or a stream nearby, or I'd have a big bottle of it), and then make that place feel as homey and cozy is possible, maybe make a bench there, it's always great to have a bench! Or a hammock, that makes a place immediately feel comfortable and enjoyable to be in. That way you'll be able to relax in your corner, and be able to go exploring more and deciding what you want to explore or do next, without a rush to immediately take control over the entire place.

I've seen a lot of people on youtube buying those small water pumps and manually installing them on their land in order to have water, it looked like a super easy way to acquire drinking water! Here's a link to one: Link.

It's never a bad idea to acquire land, there's not enough land currently owned by women, and we know what m*n do to it! Here's a great book that can help you with anything regarding land ownership and building, I can't recommend it enough: Link (it's Back to Basics)

It’s Indigenous People's Day! As we honor this significant day, learn about 14 influential Native American figures 👇!

[wachinyeya]

An Indigenous woman from the Inga community in the Condagua reservation in Putumayo, Colombia, is leading the struggle against a Canadian mining company that plans to mine the community’s sacred mountains for copper and molybdenum.

Within Soraida Chindoy’s territory is the Doña Juana-Chimayoy páramo, where eight rivers have their source and where there are 56 lagoons. The site, where the Amazon rainforest and the Andes meet, is sacred to the Indigenous population.

Her campaign against mining was borne of tragedy. In 2017, she and her family were among the almost 22,000 people affected by the landslide in Mocoa, when Mother Earth provided a stark warning as to why it is so important to take care of her.
