How I did it
How to personally stop using flush toilets in my home
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: just get a bucket with a lid, sawdust, and a glass bottle. line the bottom of the bucket with sawdust, poop in the bucket, cover the top of your contribution with sawdust right afterwards, pee in the bottle. empty the bottle in your yard onto a mulched area daily (don't let the pee hang out in the bottle for too long). when the bucket is full, either start a humanure compost pile or bury the contents.

How to spend less time on the computer
It took me
3 years
It made me

How I did it: i decided to only use the internet at my friends' house, actually handing over my wireless card to a friend for safekeeping. so i could only use their computer in the common space, with other people around, so i never feel pulled to stay on it for too long because i'd naturally rather be fully present to people who are there with me in person. i still use the computer, but only for as brief a time as needed. i don't feel compelled to ease… Read how I did it…

How to eat less sugar
It took me
2 years
It made me

How I did it: replace refined sugar with unrefined sugar- either honey (preferably raw), maple syrup, molasses (which is bittersweet, so use in small amounts), or straight unrefined sugar (such as Rapadura). fruit juice is better too, but still taxing on your body to deal with. make healthy versions of your favorite desserts using the unrefined sugars listed above. my personal favorite is to mix together yogurt, maple syrup, and almond butter, to use a… Read how I did it…

have a child
Untitled

while i’m at the perfect age biologically to have a child right now, it seems this goal is a long way off from coming into reality. the thought of creating a child of my own right now scares the shit out of me. from what i’ve observed, it seems like to provide a child with a fit environment for growing well in this culture necessitates a lot of money, especially in the form of the father having a full time job. also, having a child in this culture means creating a nuclear family quite often, which is something i am not interested in creating. i want to raise children in homes that have more than two adults living in them. i want that for all children and parents, and i want that for any potential child of mine, and i want that for me.

i have been enjoying the opportunity present to me to assist in the rearing of a child that is not my own. i encourage anyone who is able to to do the same

okay, all i did was read a description of what to do in the case of an emergency childbirth (on bagelhole), and i got lightheaded several times. i had to lay down afterwards to recover…

learn to dance and not be embarrased to dance
Untitled

I don’t know if this was an appropriate goal from the start because one doesn’t need to learn to dance, one just needs to let loose and move to the music however they feel like it. so the emphasis for me was on not being embarrassed about it. and im not anymore. so woo!
