Been trying to figure out how to make a Jekyll blog with 0 coding experience and am just about to rage-quit. Is there anything out there for us non-coders that is NOT Wix/SS etc for simple blogging?? #help #asknostr #blog #coding #jekyll

Farming is hard af. And trying ro run a profitable business while not being extractive from the land (and yourself) is even harder. We've been learning over the last three years that diversifying our activities allows the farm to stay financially stable - farming for production, animals, events, rental spaces for tenants and businesses, education, and a marketplace. Yellow Barn has kind of become a small business incubator. If all the businesses can leverage a shared space, a wide pool of people and skills, mentorship, AND we can all just pay each other, then you're really creating some efficiency and keeping money in a closed-loop system. My favorite permaculture principle is "stacking functions" (i.e having the compost pickup route a lso be a food delivery route AND having the food waste be pig food, etc). So the metric we most value is "how many times can we get a dollar (soon to be sats) to circulate through the ecosystem before it has to exit?" #yellowbarn #farmstr #foodstr #bizdev #circularity #pigstr #nature #Bitcoin #community #regenag #regeneconomics #newworld #agroforestry #permaculture image

Alright I feel like this is the place I get to geek out on geometry for real. I'm sure this crowd in particular has seen images of geometry in Nature. The Fibonacci sequence is a regular occurance as the basic building blocks of life. So I got curious. What about people? And I started analyzing how people coalesce into pairs, pods, teams, and even movements. And I think I see I pattern.... #geometry #people #community #farmstr #nature #Bitcoin #patterns #business #tobecontinued image

Alright, never had a Twitter or anything so I'm getting used to posting my thoughts out into the ether of cyberspace... At the #farm, we're starting to design circular systems. Meaning copying the way Nature works in all aspects of our economic and social design. Like compost: food scraps come in from the community, we feed the pigs, pigs make fertile soil for veggies, and both veggies and pigs ultimately end up in the market. Better yet, the folks who sign up for compost can get their meat and veggies delivered to their doorstep when we come to pick up their food scraps bucket each week. So the money that comes in for the food scraps program helps lower the cost of feeding the pigs AND growing veggies AND covers delivery! We call that "stacking functions". High efficiency, circular, and win-win. The next goal would be to get #Bitcoin implemented so compost, food, and compensation can all be paid that way. But how to get people to adopt BTC easily? #randomthoughts #community #social #Bitcoin #food #farmstr #geometry #nostr #farming

#introductions Hello! My name is Azuraye. I like geometry, people, and Nature, especially all together. I run a regenerative farm in Boulder, CO and manage the biomimicry of social, economic, and technological design. Excited to be here!
