i feel a little bit of conflict

cos i wish everything wasnt always such a, ~project~

here is my science experiment

here is my substack

here was this grant

ah yes, like the natives

i am so glad this guy is doing this

im just wondering why every time a guy does this it is like this

there never isnt a blog or substack

i dont mean to be severe

i am probably being severe

diaries and journals are important

especially if you dont have a lot of people around, or conversely, too many.

people in a goldilocks sitch can excel diary-free, i believe, but that's a different careful dance centering balance

this is good

good job, guy

maybe i am suffering genre fatigue

where is the adversarial documentary

can we imagine a guy who is a grumpy hermit but his giftstand is on a sidewalk so the filmmaker is like: legally i can film you when you are in public

and the farmer is like: fuck you

and the filmmaker is like: im making a nice story about you,

you should cooperate

and the farmer is like: i have a knife

"anything worth remembering about how they knew how to live"

can ask, still alive

isnt 'remembering' in dusty old books like the "they" is elves in lothlórien

can be and is 'remembering' from the standpoint of your own ancestors

this matters, this nitpicking

what is being implied, unintentionally what the space between the words is painting:

the real natives back then

the contemporary ones arent like those ones from the days of yore

the contemporary ones are a different species

the assimilation was successful

the contemporary ones arent worth asking, i have to ~remember~

could you imagine if he had said subsistence farmers and slave laborers was the project inspo?

we have to remember the slave ship

no i havent talked to a black person what? descendants? not the same thing, different species

farm project is 75 miles from my rez

campusalot 3w ago

and that's just my rez

yes there are indigenous people living way closer

saying: 75 miles is also pretty accessibly close like my peeps personally

i understand reading words and taking in interviews with so much generosity and benefit of the doubt

im saying: permissively every single time doing that, is also a genocidally laundering thing. becomes a thing. someone watches this video like 'cool. im gonna get some land and 'remember' the natives, too'

remembering dead people is extremely convenient

they dont talk back or disagree

like fighting for the unborn

campusalot 3w ago

what im not knocking is process

re: an artist's process

and the need for many artists to be in 'creative isolation'

i dont think there is anything wrong with doing a singular vision project

exploring a concept without feedback

doing a solo thing

wanting to be the only cook in the kitchen

campusalot 3w ago

saying: it would have been nice to claim that, step into that

yes im doing a gifting thing

gift experiments

american difficulties with receiving

american suspicion against being beholden

how deeply protestant ideas are embedded in the american imbedded in the socio-cultural landscape

on my own tip

my own thing

i control the variables

i make the reflections

Radical Neighbouring - The Farm Where Nothing is for Sale

by Campfire Stories

"What happens when humans stop being consumers? How can communities feed themselves and each other without buying or selling food?

The award winning documentary "Radical Neighbouring" follows Sand River Community Farm in upstate New York, a living experiment in gift economy, sustainable agriculture, and community building. When farmer

Adam Wilson was offered $500K from a community member to take this land off the market, the farm became a place where food is freely offered to neighbours and strangers alike. Welcome to the farm where nothing is for sale!

This film explores radical neighbouring, gift economy, community farming, non-commercial food systems, sustainable living, and alternative economies, showing how generosity and shared resources can reshape the way we live."
