The police will be all over you if you go near the parliament with a load of cardboard boxes. They are not entirely free of paranoia - goes with the job. Anyway, if you are going to engage in potentially illegal/subversive activities, please don't advertise it on the forest's forums as people might ...

2. Quite

'The Algebraist' by Iain M Banks: "The Dwellers held that the ability to suffer was what ultimately marked out sentient life from any other sort. They didn't mean just the ability to feel physical pain, they meant real suffering, they meant the sort of suffering that was all the worse because the cr...

the forest has a great many things that are just sitting around, taking up space and are actually worth something. you'd be hunting for anything deemed not-useful - finding out if it's something that we should sell - then tagging it with a note and tape that it is an ebay item. when we have a few o...

On Thursday, December 1, the legislature of the city of Buenos Aires will consider a bill that would wrench control of the Bauen Hotel from the workers cooperative that has been running it democratically since March 2003, and hand it back to the owners of the business, who abandoned it in December 2...

I used to have a job which involved sorting pieces of paper - each with a 7 digit number on - into numerical order. Nevermind 4 or 8 or 16 minutes, we did that shit for 8 hours! A day!

Btw, more nut bowls will mean less beev action in the forest. But I try to avoid touching things as it is, so probably wouldn't make that much difference.

beev

Yes major changes are perhaps not necessary. The range of choice is currently good. In light of current situation, perhaps should stick to changes that increase value for money for the forest. Overall price increases would mean either more cash coming in or less demand therefore less work for KMs & ...

It’s been just 24 hours since the launch of an international support campaign for the workers of the Hotel Bauen, the worker-run hotel in downtown Buenos Aires that is facing a dire threat of eviction.

Yo, Is it true that the painting in the downstairs toilets is to be removed? Surely shome mishtake? The painting is excellent. The more I look at it, the more brilliant it is.

I agree with most of the stuff above, though I think the library budget could be a bit of a waste. Why? Spending £2-4 on a paperback from oxfam is ridiculous. Much better to cut out the middleman and let people donate directly to the forest. I've donated some excellent books over the past couple of ...

Many people take form our library Fact: all the good books disappear forever while the shit ones stay and clutter the place. Signing-out book is a good idea, though many will ignore it.

Peoples: Recycling is easy. In the kitchen, the instructions are on the buckets. Please don't fill the buckets with plastic packaging - it goes in the bin! Only plastic bottles are recycled. If you have any doubts, ask a kitchen manager or read one of the "how to recycle" notices on the wall. By rec...

Recycling is going to be moved to the garden and we will take bottles from there to Bristo Sqaure. Hopefully, we will also store paper & cardboard there for LEEP to collect. We need to redesign the garden to make sure we're getting the most out of it. We want to be able to store things (including re...

Plant & sees society sounds good & there's no reason why it shouldn't meet up in the forest. Workshops are also a good idea. The forest can be used to run your own workshop.

I propose that few of us are thinking thoughts that are generated by our own powers, the majority of that activity is generated for us by the mechanisms extant in society.
