I might have misread the bottom of your post, so just never mind that in regards to you being part of the discussion. I'll leave my post so others know though.

I don't know much about what your specific needs are, but I do agree with your general premise, which was supposed to be the jump off point to conversation.

However, your personal input is just as important as the advocates. Because if solarpunk is supposed to be community-based, making sure you are comfortable, and a comfortable member, of that community is imperative to not only your mental health but the mental wellness of the community. And for that, I feel like this discussion should include everyone.

I find, even among those without special needs, mental health is not correctly taken care of in a revolutionary community of any kind. And we risk a better environment and stagnating mental health system without understanding and questioning these possibilities.

I didn't think the obvious things like people who are disabled or have things like ADHD needed explanation, to be fair. And those things are basic enough to me to warrant a refute of the poster's reasoning.

I wrote a bunch of words in opposition to your statement, but after reading your other response, it is clear to me that you have a completely different view of mental health, and what solarpunk looks like. And I don't think you have taken a lot of transitional information, disability information, racial information, gender information, economic information, educational information, or a few other things into account in your response.

 

So I have noticed from reading through posts and my own research that there isn't much information on how mental health and psychology would be taken care of and implemented. I could very well be wrong and would appreciate anyone's pointing me to an initial resource in order to understand more. And if it hasn't been confronted as a problem, I would like to ruminate with others on what those possibilities could look like. We can't eschew mental health.

I like the standard UI. However, if it is inevitable that the site switches, I do prefer this Alexandrite UI. The Photon UI seems much more clunky. And my ADHD has trouble focusing. I do notice that it does allow you to easily look at users' post history, which is good for moderation, but Alexandrite feels like it has more user related features. I even tried to go into Photon's settings and tweaking the front page. Nothing I did felt really as comfortable as the Alexandrite UI. My vote is here.

Also keep in mind that paying for news often leaves the poorer community without information. While yes, i agree that journalists should be compensated, news organisations have become profit seeking businesses since the 70s, and not, as they should be, places of information gathering for everyone.

A paywall prices poor people out of information. And things like this still help them.

The guardian should be lauded for their model yes, but that is one company. They can't write about everything.

I saw a post in here that had a bug and wouldn't let me respond from my phone, but...

It was talking about paywalls for news sites. And this is literally the best one i know to get passed them. Just copy and paste.

Actually, America does have several whiskeys that cannot be cultivated anywhere else. Bourbon HAS to come from America, just as Scotch is from Scotland.
