While you can find a list of EVERY tag used on this blog in the sidebar of the homepage, here are some of the topics I anticipate writing about a lot, and what the tags mean.
Homework (or Schoolwork): This is either a repost or a review/summary of something I'm working on during the course of my education. Watch me learn!
Busywork: This is something I had to do in order to get a good grade, but wasn't terribly interesting or difficult for me. Watch me waste my time!
Research rabbithole: This was a subject that was covered in class, but not to the extent that I'm interested in learning about it. Maybe I'm doing some additional research, or would like to do so when I have more time.
Input appreciated: I'll use this to tag posts that I would really like to hear feedback or input on from you, my readers! Go ahead and post a comment!
Practical uses: I've probably just learned a new thing about computers, and these posts contain my thoughts about what this new thing could be used for in the transition.
Rough draft: Here's a new iteration of my current pet project, using as much know-how as I have so far.
Work in progress: I haven't yet finished using everything I've learned! I still have more to do, but I'm far enough along that I wanted to show it off.
Reblog: Here's something I found that is relatively recent, and relevant to this blog, already written about by somebody else. I've likely added my thoughts to it, if needed.
Top down: Methods of transitioning that involve intervention and regulation from a governing authority, through official, legally-recognized methods.
Bottom up: Methods of transitioning that involve grass-roots movements and organizations, through means which may seek to cause changes to legislation, or through means which have no relation to current law and legalities. Think "Robin Hood," solarpunk, guerilla gardening, etc.
Sharing is caring: Actions, policies, statements, and propositions related to the ultra-rich spreading their hoarded wealth around to the 99% voluntarily, as opposed to being forced by Top-down methods.
Reaganomics: Have a look at these wikipedia articles-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaganomics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_income_inequality_in_the_United_States
I'm sure the idea is not a novel one, and others have probably covered it more thoroughly than me, but I'd like to either find or put together a tool or program that allows people to understand what has happened as a result of the growing wealth gap. Specific data points I would like to include are the hourly/annual rates for minimum wage, average "middle-class" worker, average CEO, and the top 1%; the average prices of staple goods, necessities, utilities, housing, childcare, higher education, common medical procedures, etc, aka cost of living; prices of well-known "status goods" and non-essential or luxury items; as much information about these data points as is available based on location and year. Then, a user would choose a year, location, wage range, and purchase. The program would show them two results based on their choices: How many of these things the user could purchase after an hour of work, and how long the user would have to work in order to purchase one of these things. Ideally, this would involve some pivot-table-like functionality, so the user could compare these trends against each other, and view them as a line graph over time. tl;dr - I'll use #reaganomics to talk about the trends of wealth inequality that jumped into high gear since Reagan's term in office.
Waste not want not: Posts about reducing the waste of food and other resources, and about current-day practices of artificial scarcity which lead to needless waste.
