There is a sort of comforting but disheartening feeling in seeing the ways you've built your life for decades in the "things to try now that the world is suddenly bad" lists. Credit unions, nonprofit co-ops, reuse and repair hobbies, #eatlocal. Like, that's nice, but I opened this page for directions to address a need for *doing more*. Working on sitting with it.

Signed up for Community Supported Agriculture produce farm share for another season.

The technical improvements to the process are impressive. Ten years ago, it was you get what you get, once a week, big or small share, bring your own bag. For the past few, it's been weekly or biweekly, S,M,L, user preferences saved, notifications two days out to adjust your share among what is available, an online calendar to skip or reschedule, veggies bagged up in compostable plastic with your personalized label stickered on. All with a mobile friendly web portal that seems built for many farms the same way a few carry out platforms service every small restaurant in your neighborhood.

If you got turned off dealing with a CSA years ago, it's a really good time to try again. #shoplocal #eatlocal

You know you can tax the rich right now, right? Just shift where you spend your money.

Support your local coffee shop instead of a big chain. Shop at farmers' markets. Eat at local restaurants. Buy from mom-and-pop stores. Choose independent brands over corporate giants.

Yes, it might cost a little more, but you're redirecting money away from corporations that thrive on low wages and putting it straight into your community—where it can grow, support jobs, and build something better.

You are effectively taxing the rich.
