A little breakfast harvest of spinach 🌱 and wine cap mushrooms 🍄. This is the payoff of gardening consistently and focusing on perennials (in this case, the mushrooms), that you get more abundance and get it earlier. 🥰 [images: spinach leaves and lots of mushrooms in a basket, mushrooms growing in soil, spinach and mushrooms on a cutting board] #mycoculture #mushroomcultivation #gardening #highaltitudegardening #mountaingarden #zone6gardening

Voting in AN answer. Voting is not THE answer.

New on the blog this week: the economics of books and libraries, and how you can bring #walletactivism to your reading. 📚 Go to OurNextLife.com, or get the link in stories. [image: screenshot of the post on the blog.]

A new episode of the Wallet Activism podcast is out! I talked to Kiersten and Julien Saunders of @richandregular, and authors of the brand new book Cashing Out, about creating a career that aligns to your values. Go listen in your favorite podcast app. 🎧 [images: The cover of their new book, and the artwork for the Wallet Activism podcast, which looks a lot like the cover of the book by the same name.] #podcast #walletactivism #walletactivistatwork

Our Next Life income policy

The books I recommend include affiliate links, and the revenue from them ($.50 or less per book purchased) covers a small fraction of the out-of-pocket costs of providing ad-free, unsponsored content to you at no charge. In any calendar year in which affiliate income fully covers the cost of web hosting, photo editing and email list maintenance (currently $150/month+), I will donate all earnings above and beyond expenses to charity directly or to our donor advised fund for charitable giving, for the remainder of that year.

Affiliate link fine print

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. (These fees cover blog expenses only, and do not net a profit for us.)
