   I don't post my every thought here on this account.

   Nor do I post every action of my life here.

   I specifically focus on solarpunk, mutual aid, and actions that can improve our life in the here and now... with what we have to work with.

   And I'll occasionally post privacy or hacking related stuff. Every once in a while.

   So. With that. And with everything that is happening right now. I want to post a quick mundane and happy update.

   Tonight was the monthly meeting of
   my town's Free Fridge and Food Rescue group. In addition to online chat and an email newsgroup, we meet in person once a month as a sort of anchor.

   Tonight was special for me for one particular reason.

   I haven't done jack shit for the group this last month.

   I am going through the final bits of legally ending a previous relationship and I'm taking on LOTS of side gigs to pay for that. I am *not* in a good place financially... but I have paths forward.

   But that doesn't matter for this post. Here's what matters...

   ...the group has THRIVED without me.

   This is huge. I and a couple of others created the group a little over a year ago. Those other founders have had to step aside and many others have stepped up. For the first chunk of all of this, I had to have my hand in everything to keep it going.

   But y'all.

   Others have stepped up and taken leadership in initiatives. And many many others have followed those leaders and helped accomplish things.

   In fact, I've taken a massive step back from the Free Fridge side of things and am now focusing on Food Rescue solely (in the very small moments I have). Those that have taken over the Free Fridges are doing amazing things that I would not have thought to do.

   The entire group is running itself now. Without my help. And has done so for over a month.

   To have something you created continue on without you is an incredible feeling.

   Tonight was a good night. A mundane night. We discussed things we had done last month and things we plan on doing next month. Different folks talked and others brought up questions and ideas. Folks broke off and collaborated.

   Oh... and it was brought up that we need another potluck / BBQ. We said we would have those quarterly and, well, the last one was three months ago.

   So that's gonna happen here soon too.

   Pixelfed's 6th birthday is approaching next month.

   To celebrate this milestone, I have an ambitious idea: 6 Years, 6 Apps.

   I'm working on 6 separate apps that will launch this year that will extend your @pixelfed account in many new and exciting ways.

   @loops and @supapp are the first 2, and will be launching in beta within the next month.

   You have to be crazy to be this ambitious, and luckily, I am 😎

   @freemo @MisuseCase @knittingknots2 Food has utility that you also need every day, but even at $10 a meal, that only comes up to ~310 a month.

   To reach the amount I'm paying for rent, every meal I'd be eating would be more than* $30. That's ~5 avocado toasts...per meal, every meal.

   That's a cost that would indicate that the "Thing you need" is being charged at luxury pricing, despite not being a luxury, but a thing people need.

   There's no reason rent needs to be so high, anywhere.
