Hi! As some of you know, I run an educational technical/electronics space called There U Glow, geared towards non-technical babes, femmes & the gender binary-averse.

And, to invite you in, I've created a Digital Camp Swag Bag! It is a bunch of high-quality, open source, completely free, no catch resources and files having to do with making electronics more accessible.

Here it is! For you! https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1BdqvnkGUO3zN89wcenesUKxZHLq7_uYW

@settinger designed and printed a comic sans typewriter ball so we're testing it on my IBM selectric this afternoon and it totally does work!

Sharing an amazing book: Toolbox for sustainable city living: a do-it-ourselves guide. It has a great explanation of what could be described as a #solarpunk & degrowth approach to urban permaculture with great illustrations! A ton of really good info in this.

Some things that stand out: the pond idea with old carpets and plastic is really good. That image of a multi stage grow system of plants, fish, and shellfish is amazing. Along with a grey water filtration system with grow beds next to it.
