Todays #HouseSearch oddity: A mink farm, with space for 6700 animals in long rows of cages housed in several lines of narrow barns.
Small living quarters, feeding machines and freshly dug carcass dumping pit included.
Very cheap, on account of fur farming being banned.
@vaviurka suggested turning it into an AirBnB, but I'm not sure there's that much need for tourist accomodation in a remote area. Maybe a privatized prison for war criminals?

For creative folks, here's a thread with a couple dozen grant, fellowship, residency, etc. opportunities 🧵
GRIN S+T+ARTS RESIDENCY ($40K)
Open to artists internationally, this residency is looking for artists who can provide critical reflection and envision future potential and solutions that can address the digital and ecological transition in Europe.
Black women-owned businesses are vital to our economy yet receive less than one percent of venture capital funding.
We'll award four lucky small businesses with $20,000 grants, digital tools to help them grow their business online, and mentorship so they can continue to bolster their business.
Finnish-based art residency that offers accommodation, travel expenses (one return trip, cheapest possible), and a working grant (based on per diem, approx. €300 per week).
Cartier Women's Initiative Science & Technology Pioneer Award ($30-100K)
Open to women entrepreneurs from any country/sector, this award highlights disruptive solutions built around unique, protected, or hard-to-reproduce technical or scientific advances that require heavy R&D, a long commercialization cycle, high capital intensity, technology risk, and complexity.
In fall 2023 and winter 2024 Wave Farm will host two separate three-month fellowships. This is a part-time engagement for a radio researcher and artist living and working in the United States.
Bertha Foundation is excited to announce the launch of the fifth Bertha Challenge: an opportunity for activists and investigative journalists to spend a year working on one pressing social justice challenge and to deliver a body of work at the end of the Fellowship year.
