Tired of struggling just to pay for health insurance? Tired of working two jobs just to pay taxes to support stupid fucks like Trump and other born rich GOP politicians? Tired of having to go online to find someone to talk to or seek out live human interaction? Ever think about about joining a commune? Here you go. :)
And/Or...
A few of their stated highlights...
Non-gender binary, queer and trans people are very welcome at Twin Oaks. People introduce themselves with their pronouns and a significant number of our members go by they/them.
Verbal consent culture is very important here. It is not okay to touch anyone without asking.
Nudity and partial nudity is allowed in some parts of the farm, such as in the sauna, swimming hole, on the hiking trails, etc.
Every day we provide a home-cooked, plant-based lunch and dinner with options for special diets including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and no onions & garlic.
We have a shared clothing resource called Commie Clothes, which is like a free thrift store. Borrow something and then return it dirty, and it gets washed and re-hung up.
Imagine that...I could actually *wear* pants...and someone else would wash them. :)
The commune post caught my attention so looked into a little closer.
ReplyDeleteI was a logger working in Virginia in the early 80's and delivered a load of rough cut lumber to this commune. Being only 21, I was not expecting to see one of the women take off her shirt as she worked alongside the men unloading the truck. I developed a quick crush on a pretty young woman who was there "visiting" and sure wanted to make another lumber delivery!
Is all of this just leading up to a..."wood" joke? :)
