Every once in a while I’ll see some posts about everyone should become vegan in order to help the environment. And that… sounds kinda rude. I’m sure they don’t mean to come off that way but like, humans are omnivores. Yes there are people who won’t have any animal products be it meat or otherwise either due to personal beliefs or because their body physically cannot handle it, and that’s okay! You don’t have to change your diet to include those products if you don’t want to or you physically can’t.

But there’s indigenous communities that hunt and farm animals sustainably and have been doing so for generations. And these animals are a primary source of food for them. Look to the bison of North America. The settlers nearly caused an extinction as a part of a genocide. Because once the Bison were gone it caused an even sharper decline of the indigenous population. Now thankfully Bison did not go extinct and are actively being shared with other groups across America.

Now if we look outside of indigenous communities we have people who are doing sustainable farming as well as hunting. We have hunting seasons for a reason, mostly because we killed a lot of the predators. As any hunter and they will tell you how bad the deer population can get. (Also America has this whole thing about bird feathers and bird hunting, like it was bad until they laid down some laws. People went absolutely nuts on having feathers be a part of fashion like holy cow.)

We’re slowly getting better with having gardens and vertical farms within cities, and there’s some laws on being able to have a chicken or two at your house or what-have-you in the city for some eggs. (Or maybe some quails since they’re smaller than chickens it’s something that you’d might have to check in your area.) Maybe you would be able to raise some honey bees or rent them out because each honey tastes different from different plants. But ultimately when it comes to meat or cheese? Go to your local farmers. Go to farmers markets, meet with the people there, become friends, go actively check out their farm. See how the animal lives are and if the farmer is willing, talk to them about sustainable agriculture. See what they can change if they’re willing. Support indigenous communities and buy their food and products, especially if you’re close enough that the food won’t spoil on its way to you. (Like imagine living in Texas and you want whale meat from Alaska and you buy it from an indigenous community. I would imagine that would be pretty hard to get.)

Either way everything dies in the end. Do we shame scavengers for eating corpses they found before it could rot and spread disease? Do we shame the animals that hunt other animals to survive? Yes factory farming should no longer exist. So let’s give the animals the best life we can give them. If there’s babies born that the farmer doesn’t want, give them away to someone who wants them as a pet. Or someone who wants to raise them for something else. Not everyone can raise animals for their meat. I know I can’t I would get to emotionally attached. I’d only be able to raise them for their eggs and milk.

Yeah this was pretty much thrown together, and I just wanted to say my thoughts and throw them into the void. If you have some examples of sustainable farming/agriculture, please share them because while I got some stuff I posted from YouTube, I’m still interested to see what stuff I might’ve missed!

#solarpunk #farming #hunting #agriculture #sustainability #sustainable farming #sustainable agriculture #like Rewilding farm land is pretty interesting and trying to replicate an ecosystem with farm animals but also allowing wild animals #to make homes in the rewild farm land is pretty cool #and I have an absolute love for food/garden forests #and hydroponics have shown to be really great for communities in the winter time and they want to have fresh produce #all sorts of cool stuff

AgriCorps Obi-Wan who always seems to get into trouble. No matter how peaceful a far-off planet seems to be, whenever Obi-Wan Kenobi is assigned to assist, somehow he ends up inciting a rebellion or uncovering assassination plots right and left. The Jedi Council finds this as troublesome as they privately do amusing

In what Obi-Wan assumes is a punishment for his most recent misadventure (but is actually an attempt to see if someone can actually make a meaningful difference outside of the usual processes), Obi-Wan is given an impossible task. As a part of a treaty with the Hutts over a hyperspace lane at the start of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan is sent to Tatooine of all places where getting anything to grow is the futile effort of a lifetime.

A large part of his work involves spending time with moisture farmers to learn the lay of the land and how best to work with the local populace. He's in charge of a survey team, but experience has taught him that very little can be accomplished without the cooperation of those who already live on the planet.

And that's how he meets Anakin Skywalker, the best mechanic in Hutt Space, and the leader of a burgeoning slave rebellion. He doesn't seem like much more than regular moisture farmer, but the Force guiding him, Obi-Wan knows that Anakin is someone truly special.

Or perhaps that's just lust talking, because Anakin is stunning in more than just an intellectual manner.

#palps gets eaten by the zillo beast and dooku gets murdered by ventress #the war ends and eventually the jedi turn their attentions back to smaller matters #“now where has obi-wan gotten off to?” #“oh. he's unionized tatooine.” #“let's just keep looking the other way.” #just picturing anakin using his husband's garden lab to strategize #because of course they end up married. anakin insists. #obikin #random ideas #what my brain produces when i'm trying to procrastinate writing

Do your rules say what to do with a pea seed that first has its radicle emerge and grow downwards. And then um. Have another radicle emerge and grow upwards. (Idk if it was anatomically another radicle but it lacked cotyledons and chlorophyll.)

i hate to be a seed analyst on main but it could have been a secondary epicotyl? peas have a thing where if their terminal bud (area of the stem with the leaves) gets damaged, they can send up a second one, but in my experience it looks a bit wonky in comparison, like kind of stunted and stiff and not really as stem-like. according to the AOSA rules for peas (might be different depending on which rules youre going by), each seedling needs to have at least one strong epicotyl with good leaves to be considered normal, and a damaged primary with a good enough secondary epicotyl with those characteristics can pass as a normal seedling if they have leaves at the top and a nice root and looks...fine, but if its just a pale peg thing, it's not considered enough to make up for a missing stem. id call it abnormal (wont make it to adulthood or if it does, wont be a normal productive plant).

alternatively, if it genuinely was growing two roots, no epicotyl/damaged shoot would be my official reason for saying it's abnormal. unofficially i would say Damn Thats Crazy.

(also, a note on pea anatomy-- in the case of peas, the cotyledons are most of the seed itself that stays below the soil, and then the plant sends up a stem and just uses it as a food source. so the little guy DID have cotyledons, it just...was not putting out an actual stem + leaves. the no chlorophyll part doesnt surprise me, a lot of newly germinated seedlings take a minute to get their chlorophyll and look pale at first, then develop actual green coloration in their leaves and stems as they get to be around a few days old-- especially if theyre being grown in low/no light-- but if it stayed with no chlorophyll it would be albino, which is very possible and an abnormal condition in most rulebooks).

#seedposting #plont asks #WILD response i know but i actually taught a session on these dudes irl like yesterday #where i showed people how to evaluate them and stuff #i love peas i do them not infrequently at work and they have such a wide range of what they look like as adults depending on the variety... #ive done ones that are really short and chunky guys at 8 days old #and some that are super tall and slender but staying upright at 8 days #and some that fall over themselves and turn into a plate of spaghetti at 8 days bc theyre Crawlin #seems to depend on the breed and what theyre being selected to produce. like if theyre being sold for gardens or to make canned beans etc #fascinating guys.

I called in sick today so I could muck around in the garden.

The sun came out at around 0900 and I like to think it was the universe telling me I made the right choice.

I found the first spears of asparagus pushing out of the ground. There were 3 fat fuzzy bumblebees going wild on pussywillow pollen. Last year's daikon and broccoli left seeds that are sprouting independently. I planted sitaw and cassoulet bean starts in the greenhouse. I staked the new cherry and pear tree branches so they'll grow en espalier. I told the 3 yr old peach tree that it's the prettiest princess in the yard and the ancient Asian pear that it was a fucking champion for having about 100 visible blossoms despite half its trunk rotting away. There was random garlic growing everywhere so I relocated them beside the strawberries for pest control and company. I apologized while viciously pruning the raspberries and swore at the asshole buttercups that keep invading the bee flower patch.

Now I'm finishing a negroni and eating leftover baked pasta. Self care is different for everyone. Mine looks like rolling around in dirt.

George Harrison + his passions

“George tried to teach himself. but he wasn’t making much headway. ‘I’ll never learn this,’ he used to say. I said, ‘You will, son, you will. Just keep at it.’ He kept till his fingers were bleeding.” - Louise Harrison, The Beatles

“He’d just go into another space. I felt maybe he was unhappy. He meditated for so long, for hours. It seemed to me as if he preferred to be in a meditative state than in a waking, conscious state. He liked the peace and calm.” - Pattie Boyd

“The house and the garden became an obsession with George. He found out everything there was to know about Sir Frank Crisp, how and why he built that extraordinary house and garden, why he wanted to re-create the Blue Grotto of Capri and build a mini Matterhorn in the Oxfordshire countryside. He wanted to get inside Sir Frank’s mind and fit into his old boots, and he seemed to want to do it alone. I can be obsessive, but then I get bored and need a change." - Pattie Boyd, Wonderful Tonight

"He’d garden at night-time until midnight [...] He missed nearly every dinner because he was in the garden. He would be out there from first thing in the morning to the last thing at night." - Dhani Harrison, Living in the Material World

“When she first met George she didn’t know what George was talking about half the time, he was always quoting Python or ‘The Producers’. He used to say to Olivia ‘Ah my little Swedish bombshell’ which she explained she obviously didn’t look Swedish, but it was a line from the movie The Producers.” - Greg, Olivia Harrison in Sydney

“Back at Friar Park, George runs through whole scenes of The Producers word for word - acting the parts out extremely well." - Michael Palin, Halfway to Hollywood: Diaries 1980–1988

"What was always embarrassing with him was that he knew everything backwards and forwards with Python, and he’d throw out a line expecting you to come back with whatever the response should’ve been. I didn’t know what he was talking about half the time." - Terry Gilliam, Concert for George (backstage interview)

"George quoted Bob like people quote Scripture. Bob really adored George, too. George used to hang over the balcony videoing Bob while Bob wasn’t aware of it. Bob would be sitting at the piano playing, and George would tape it and listen to it all night." - Tom Petty, Rolling Stone

"He got very into the uke. Actually, bordering on obsessively into the uke at some points, and uh, you know, he was taking me to George Formby conventions. That was when I started to notice that he was very into the ukulele. [laughs]" - Dhani Harrison, Breakfast with the Beatles

"I made some Rutle merchandise for Can’t Buy Me Lunch, but I gave it all to George who adored all Rutle stuff. I think the most successful present I ever gave him was a Rutle guitar, which Danny Ferrington made for me. It featured the Rutles looking out of the windows of a car, and George was thrilled with it." - Eric Idle, Greedy Bastard Diary

"The last time I saw George was in August, in Switzerland, on the Swiss-Italian border, where he was undergoing treatment for cancer. He played us all these old Hoagy Carmichael records. George had a lot of enthusiasms at various times, whether it was Bulgarian choirs or whatever. Once there was something he was enthusiastic about, he wanted the world to know." - Michael Palin, People

Our rose bush is in full bloom and Bealtaine/the Floralia is right around the corner and you all know what that means! Time to toss some in a Mason jar with fresh strawberries and wine.

Honestly infusions like this are such an easy way to make a cheap wine feel fancy and I absolutely 100% recommend trying it if you haven't.
