Exploratory toot:
Adjacent to #turtleBower planning locally, people from other areas are also starting to scheme collective/shared housing. Co-living for lil niche groups like spoonies or neurodivergents.
I wonder about a #getFediHoused tag or something as a marketplace for folks looking to start something up, or find roommates, share resources, find local connections, etc.

Chime in if you have ideas!

I just had a series of conversations where I learned Home Economics classes are apparently not a universal experience for my peers. I think maybe it's part of why I've had such a hard time living with folks, because I thought we all had the same education on basic life-skills, and I was the only one who gave enough of a rip to wash the dishes the right way.

I also didn't know it was considered regressive (when it was considered at all), as I thought it was part of an initiative to make sure folks knew how to do basic life-skills, regardless of gender.

This video definitely was educational for me:

Floating an exploratory balloon here. If #turtleBower needed to raise $30-$50k for a deposit on this current building, would you kick in? It's based in Ontario Canada, but if we pull this off it can be a template for other housing all over the world.

Boosts appreciated!

Update on the #turtleBower project!

We have a team plunking away building a website. Will hopefully have something to share publically in a week or two. 🎉

In the meantime, I've started a fundraiser goal on ko-fi to cover some of our start up costs if anybody wants to drop a wee bit o cash. This is mostly by spoonies for spoonies, so every lil bit adds up. 💞

Continued thread

☝️so that's the gist of it. There's a lot to do, and I can't do it alone. But there's huge potential to pull something amazing off and demonstrate a whole different way of living and caring for each other. Something that could seed similar projects if we can show proof of concept here.
If any of this speaks to you, or you have other resources I haven't even thought to ask for hit me up.
Let's do this!
