Dear Fedi: please help me to help you. With all the clusterf*cks and fascist coup happening in the US: what data is important to preserve and keep spreading?

Already have been seeding the CDC dataset and Wikipedia dumps into oblivion (couple of hundreds of TBs of traffic) - but I'd like to do more.

If you know important projects that need this kind of help - preferably less than a TB in size - please share!

(boosts appreciated for visibility)

I don't have difficulty getting rid of things because I'm a hoarder, it's because I've lived in scarcity a lot of my life and know the very real expense of having to replace things I could have just held on to.

The flip side of hoarding, where you have the mindset to discard everything not of immediate use, doesn't seem to be demonised anywhere near as much.

Minimalism is the luxury of a post-scarcity life experience.

Hoarding is the defence mechanism of poverty.

Oligarchy is not just a Russian phenomenon. It exists right here in the USA.

“A small number of incredibly wealthy billionaires own and control the global economy and recently they own and control our government through corrupt campaign finance system.”

By the way, one triumphal success like this, when I resurrect a treasure from the hoard at a time of super low money, undermines MONTHS of progress on the eternally-shaky project of convincing myself not to hoard old tech gear (and other stuff) "because I might need it someday when I can't just go out and buy it."

#ADHD / #ADD hoarding is a very specific kind of #hoarding and I'm not sure what to do about it. It has two sources AFAICT:

1. I lose things so frequently, that I am hesitant to get rid of anything that I might lose in the future, such as chargers and cables. I have a full sized shopping bag filled with them.

2. #AttentionBlindness means that anything I'm not seeing doesn't exist. So organization becomes a nightmare. I put things in boxes, and then forget about them, and end up with multiples of them.

Fixation How to Have Stuff Without Breaking the Planet by Sandra Goldmark, 2020

Our massive, global system of consumption is broken. Our individual relationship with our stuff is broken. In each of our homes, some stuff is broken. And the strain of rampant consumerism and manufacturing is breaking our planet. We need big, systemic changes, from public policy to global economic systems. But we don't need to wait for them.

Since founding Fixup, a pop-up repair shop that brought her coverage in The New York Times, Salon, New York Public Radio, and more, Sandra Goldmark has become a leader in the movement to demand better "stuff.” She doesn't just want to help us clear clutter—she aims to move us away from throwaway culture, to teach us to reuse and repurpose more thoughtfully, and to urge companies to produce better stuff. Although her goal is ambitious, the solution to getting there is surprisingly simple and involves all of us: have good stuff, not too much, mostly reclaimed, care for it, and pass it on.
