In Taos, a community of ‘voluntary anarchists’ is taking off-the-grid living to the next level
In Taos, a community of ‘voluntary anarchists’ is taking off-the-grid living to the next level
Just a few miles from where New Mexico’s Route 64 crosses the Rio Grande, a collection of alien looking buildings stand out in the otherwise desolate landscape. These houses—79 in total—are built partially into their natural surroundings, each with a wall of windows facing directly south.
While the houses, with their rounded corners and colorful walls made of cans and bottles, may look more like spaceships than human dwellings, the opposite is true: The buildings are even called “earthships.” Located just outside of Taos, this community—known as the Greater World Earthship Community—provides full-time housing to at least 130 people. Under the name Earthship Biotecture, it also hosts an academy in partnership with Western Colorado University, an internship program, and a visitor center open to the public.
Earthship Biotecture is almost completely self-sustainable—and it wants to teach you how to live off the grid, too.

Australian astronomer wins major US science award
Quietly tucked away in Canberra, Australia, is one of the world’s most influential astronomers right now.
Lisa Kewley has been awarded the James Craig Watson Medal by the US National Academy of Science in recognition of her work’s impact on understanding how galaxies formed and evolved over the past 12 billion years.
Her pioneering research in theoretical modelling sheds light on power sources for galaxies, what happens when they collide, the history of stars forming, and how oxygen is distributed throughout the Universe.

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn (1918–1956), The Gulag Archipelago
A great reminder of what government is capable of and the appropriate response if it comes to that.
But of course, if it comes to that, not enough action was taken early enough to prevent it.
Best we get busy spreading truth and hope to those who would otherwise follow this insanity.

Man Outdoes His Wife’s Expectations When Asked to Take More Photos of the Kids
In early 2015, Phillip Haumesser’s wife Natasha gave him a simple request. She wanted him to take more pictures of their children. After all, the two kids were growing up fast—before you know it, they’d be graduating high school. Like many parents, Haumesser and his wife captured special moments on their phones, but she wanted more artistic family photos. So for his birthday, Natasha bought him a camera that could do just that.
