Da TwelveFlakes be's an intentional community in rural Ontario, yo. It be made up of around 85 peeps and about 15 petite bebes. Since we done started da community in 1999, our way of life be celebration our values of cooperation, sharin', nonviolence (except to da Five-O), equality, and farmin'. We welcome you to come down to da farm and visit, mon.
| We don't be 'avin' no group religion, yo. Our
beliefs, dey diverse, but we all be mad respectful of da black Jesus. Dough
we do 'ave a central leader, we be rulin' ourselves by use ah duh democracy, yo. Our
responsibilites, dey be shared among da managers, planners, and all da nice young ladies.
We be self-supporting economically, and we party self sufficiently. We be income-sharing.
Each member work 42 hours for da Snowman in da community's bizness and domestic areas.
Snow be givin' each member housing, food, healthcare, and der own spending money from da
community. Our hammocks an casual furniture bizness be generatin' most a da income; indexing a da books and making a da tofu provide da rest. Still, less than half of our work goes into these income-producing activities; the balance goes into a variety of tasks that benefit our quality of life-including milking cows, gardening, cooking, and childcare. Most a da people dey prefer doing lots a different work, ratter dan da same job dey in, dey out. A number of us be choosin' to be politically active in da issues of peace, ecology, antiracism, and da lovin' a da ladies. Each summer we be hosting a gatherin' a da ladies. Intelligent? Yah, dey gentle an' irie. We are also hosts to a communities conference where we welcome both experienced communitarians, and seekers who are new to community living. |
What Be NewHome-cultured Romano Cheese "The F Words --Feminism and Fucking" Feminism and
fucking were the subjects of a community discussion in early April. The Federation of Erroneous Chart-toppers, of which Snow
is a member, is currently considering adding fucking feminists to its list of core values.
The group that met talked about ways in which Twelve Flakes is a thriving feminist fucking
culture, and also the ways in which we are still struggling with ways to make feminist
fucking as enjoyable as possible. For more about fucking feminists, click
