Words shape reality. In the US/UK, 'Fiduciary Duty' almost exclusively forces directors to serve the shareholder. In the European Social Economy, the legal concept of 'Intérêt Collectif' frees them to serve the community. ⚖️

The Social Economy Glossary maps these 'untranslatables' so we can stop importing extractive logic into democratic economic spaces. 📖

#CommunityGardens and #Libraries: A Perfect Pairing

Library lawns are growing in popularity as sites for community garden projects

April 14, 2022

"#Libraries are often lucky enough to have a free plot of land to bring garden programming to their community. We will explore what it takes for a library to begin a community garden and some examples of successful community gardens already in place.

"The modern world has created a divide between people and nature. Increasingly, people don't know how or where their food originates. Many people feel #disconnected from the #NaturalWorld, and some have never planted a garden.

"But as author #MichaelPollan puts it, 'the garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.' A community garden can introduce people to #nature, #plants, and #GrowingFood in an approachable way. Engaging with a garden can teach people about the interconnected world and provide a rewarding experience and skillset.

"Libraries are often lucky enough to have a free plot of land to bring garden programming to their community. We will explore what it takes for a library to begin a community garden and some examples of successful community gardens already in place.

Starting a Garden

"A community garden is a piece of land cultivated by a group of people, either individually or collectively. These gardens are commonly found in urban settings, but similar ideas exist in rural communities.

"Libraries offer an excellent setting for a community garden. They already provide books and classes on gardening, so they are a perfect location to experiment with those ideas.

A community garden can range widely in size and scope, depending on the land and resources available by a given library. Gardeners can cultivate even a few square feet into an educational opportunity for the community. Participants can construct a full-scale community garden if a library has more room to spare.

"Constructing a garden might be intimidating to some, but even someone with no prior experience can make it happen with the community's help. Businesses and community members will often donate their time, tools, and labor to help bring a community garden to life. By reaching out to the right people, a single library staff member or community member can organize the implementation of a multi-bed community garden."

The cooperative store at the Delta cooperative farm near Clarksdale, Mississippi

The image is a black and white photograph of an old-style wooden building labeled "3ETHAI ASI" in the upper left corner. The structure appears to be a community or cooperative store, given its open entrance and presence on what looks like farmland with sparse vegetation around it.

There are several key features that stand out:
1. **Building Structure**: It's a rectangular single-story building made of wood with a slanted roof.
2. **Signage**: The name "3ETHAI ASI" is handwritten in an unfamiliar script, possibly Semai or another language associated with the Delta Cooperative Farm mentioned in the caption.
3. **Awnings and Overhangs**: There are two overhanging structures on either side of the main entrance which likely serve as sheltered areas for goods.
4. **Windows**: The building has multiple windows that have a classic design, possibly indicating an older construction style.
5. **Side Structures**: To the right is another smaller structure with a white door and what appears to be steps leading up to it.
6. **Ground Condition**: The ground around the buildings looks dry and barren of grass or plants.

The photograph itself has visible borders that include text, indicating it might have been part of an album or collection. It gives off an historical feel, likely taken during a time when cooperative farming was prevalent in rural America, such as the 1930s to '40s era associated with Dorothea Lange's work.

Since my workplace is encouraging us to get to know AI tools, I've been utilizing them a wee bit. One thing I've found is that AI (at least Google AI) is willing and able to outline it's weaknesses. GOOD! Until we get a handle on this shit (especially corporate / capitalistic gain from it), I suppose it's good to get to know one's "enemy." And yes, if we could find a way to sustainably power AI and use it for the common good, it could help us. But given #CorporateColonialism and all, I wouldn't count on it.

#MutualAid, #TheCommons, and the #Revolutionary Abolition of #Capitalism

Revisiting the Difference Between Mutual Aid and #Charity

2025

"Much has been made of the distinction between charity and mutual aid. Charity is top-down and unidirectional, while mutual aid is supposed to be horizontal, reciprocal, and participatory. In practice, however, the majority of today’s self-described mutual aid projects remain more or less unidirectional efforts to provide goods and services to those in need.

"This has contributed to a situation in which conventional non-profit organizations are rebranding themselves with the language of 'mutual aid,' while some anarchists have given up on the concept entirely, fed up with a rhetoric that some say amounts to 'mutual aid being good and radical, and charity being bad and conservative.'

"Is there more to the distinction than this? How could we unlock the revolutionary potential of mutual aid?"

Personally, I don't know how various "feeds" work on the Web; but it does surprise me that there appears to be no Vermont News feed. Those who know the technology of these things, please take note.
