…

ür das Museum Kurhaus Kleve entwickelte Blockadia* Tiefsee im Rahmen der Ausstellung „Hausputz! Und andere Visionen für das Museum Kurhaus Kleve“ verschiedene ortsspezifische Installationen, die sich um das mit Erde gefüllte Beet, das sogenannte „Earthbed“, drehen. Die Beete beruhen auf einem Prototypen, der im Jahr 2021 für eine Ausstellung in Frankfurt entstanden ist. Im Kurhaus werden die Beete sowohl als funktionale Plattformen im Außenraum aufgebaut und dort mit Pflanzen bestückt, als auch im Innenraum als Plattform für die Präsentation von Kunstwerken eingesetzt.

Zusätzlich wird das Kollektiv im Spätsommer eine Reihe von Workshops anbieten, die sich u. a. mit dem Kompostieren beschäftigen. Seit 2017 ist eine wachsende Wurmpopulation Teil von Blockadia*Tiefsee. Sie wurde initialisiert durch den Workshop „Meeting at the Wormery“ von Angela Jerardi und Antonia Lotz auf Einladung von Susanne M Winterling in Offenbach am Main. Seitdem leben und vermehren sich die Würmer in Wurmkomposten, die von verschiedenen Gruppen in Workshops angelegt wurden, in Frankfurt am Main, Freiburg, Schwelm und Trondheim. Praktisch baut das Kollektiv Kompostierbehälter für Würmer und theoretisch befasst es sich mit Kompostieren als Möglichkeit, um Ressourcen, Beziehungen und Wertvorstellungen zu überdenken und als mögliche, erneuerbare Methode für die Produktion von Kunst. Zusammen mit Mikroben wandeln Würmer Essbares in Humus um. Es gibt beim Kompostieren keinen Abfall, sondern nur Ressourcen, die in Gemeinschaftsarbeit der zersetzenden Kraft von Archaeen, Bakterien und Pilzen und des Verdauungssystems der zahnlosen Würmer unter Bindung von Kohlendioxid in einen wertvollen Lebensraum für Pflanzen und andere Bodenlebewesen transformiert werden. Es ist keine Pyramide mit dem Menschen an der Spitze, sondern ein Kreislauf, ein Netz, in dem die unterschiedlichsten Lebewesen zur Erneuerung des Bodens einen Teil beitragen. … Mit: Martin Dörr, Johannes Lenzgeiger, Antonia Lotz, Ulrike Markus, Petra Metzner, Joëlle Pidoux, Wagehe Raufi, Risom.Sekles, Dennis Siering, Jakob Stoeger, Moritz Urban, Mathias Weinfurter, Linda Weiß, Susanne M. Winterling

like whomst the fuck even looked at the Egyptian dude who fathered two girls who didn't survive and who himself died at the ripe old age of 18 and went "yes THIS guy is For Real the White European Ancestor". whomst the fuck even got DNA out of Tut's mangled, bitumen-drowned mummy that was apparently good enough to study and which allegedly gave such clean results. a fucking wizard? what the actual hell.

#i know WHY #it's because it's Tut #he also features heavily in that idiotic brain wormery about how all ancient egyptian royalty had ''blue european eyes''

“Love. Huh! Wrote a treatise on the chromosomal origins of love once, when I was a small boy. Proved categorically which gene began it, which enzymes carried it, which electrochemical receptors translated it… Took all the fun out of it. Got a rubbish grade, too. My tutor told me I’d missed the point.”

I'm listening to the Big Finish audios in such a weird order I'm just going for whichever clip showed up on my dash recently

#went from scherzo to rat.mp3 to CHARLOTTE POLLARD. at least i started with storm warning #but i didn't like sword of orion or the stones of venice so it put me off listening to them in order #also done master and the wormery #rn i'm going through whichever 8/charley thing sounds fun at the moment. i prefer the ones set in the past #also need to meet fitz listen to caerdroia and find out where they meet c'rizz #not ready for zagreus yet though i'll get there eventually #it feels like watching doctor who in chronological order of the time they travel to so. bad. but it's what works #going on my little mental health walks listening to paul mcgann and india fisher #audio liveposting

there are three types of people in this world:

1) people who think Zagreus is the best dw anniversary special

2) people who have never heard Zagreus

3) people who have incorrect opinions

#you're allowed to have incorrect opinions but i only speak the truth <3 #its three and a half hours and it truly has it all - a cast list thats two feet long #its camp #paul mcgann gets to lose his shit in many ways #it tears your heart out “im the bravest one in this room”#“i love you.” “kill me.” </3 #most of the cast dont play their actual characters #the entire thing is based around alice in wonderland #and best of all it continues in scherzo #absolutely unparalleled #tbh 2003 was the best year for doctor who releases and the actual show had been on hiatus for 13 years #like theres dr who and the pirates. the wormery. zagreus. scherzo. jubilee. project lazarus. omega. davros. master. deadline.#life during wartime too #anyways guess what im listening to on my 15 hour train ride today #doctor who #big finish #doctor who eu #my posts

The Wormery

Well, this definitely was an Iris Wildthyme story. She technically was better than my expectations (like drinking being her superpower), but the silliness is a bit much. Half decent idea to have evolution hating worms be the villains. Colin Baker falls in love (again?) and nicely mopey about the The Trial of a Time Lord.

ok so maybe drinking an energy drink just before going on stage, especially since it's currently 40°C, wasn't a good idea. I am this 👌 close to fainting

#i am genuinely shaking lol #i blame the wormery for getting me into energy drinks

"An estimated six million tonnes of used coffee grounds are created annually. Most go to landfill, generating methane and CO2, or are incinerated for energy.

It’s an obvious waste of a byproduct still rich in compounds (if not flavour). On a domestic level, try directing your cafetiere contents to your garden, not your bin: used coffee grounds are excellent as an addition to home compost bins and wormeries, a mulch for roses and a deterrent to snails. And on a global scale, science might have the answer.

A new study in the Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology suggests that used coffee could hold the key to a pressing environmental problem: agricultural contamination.

How could old coffee grounds solve agricultural pollution?

Scientists from Brazil’s Federal Technological University of Paraná found that leftover coffee can absorb bentazone, a herbicide frequently used in agriculture.

When old coffee grounds are activated with zinc chloride, their carbon content becomes 70 per cent more efficient in removing the herbicide.

The study’s tests involved bentazone dissolved in liquid and treated with activated carbon from used coffee grounds, to see how it affected onion root tissues called meristems. All plants grow from meristem tissue and a plant’s development is disrupted when its meristems are damaged.

If the test can be replicated on an industrial scale, it would be an environmental double whammy: diverting coffee waste from landfill and preventing damage to wildlife and nature from herbicides.

Why is bentazone a problem?

...The UK’s Environment Agency cites bentazone as having the potential to affect long-term water quality and lead to an increased need to treat the UK’s drinking water sources. The herbicide has been shown to impact human health if it is inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin.

While this is only preliminary research and more studies are needed to determine efficacy of activated coffee grounds on a global scale, it’s a promising start. The authors of the study say their results “suggest a circular economy solution for spent coffee grounds that are currently discarded without any recycling or reuse system”. We can all drink to that."

Ace once tried to use the Seventh Doctor's "look me in the eye, pull the trigger" manipulation tactics, but because she's not a hypnotist or psychic like him, she ends up shot anyway. (Audio: The Fearmonger)

The Thirteenth Doctor once tried to celebrate Yaz's birthday with a tea party in Boston, 1773. (Comic: The Forest Bride)

The Eighth Doctor was separated into his three different sides once. One side was sensible.

The third side was incredibly nasty and could be quite violent without the other two sides there to balance him out. (Audio: Caerdroia)

The Twelfth Doctor's sonic sunglasses have a Telepathic Emergency Beacon, which allows him to take control of another person's body. (Short story: My Dad, The Doctor)

There was a murderer in a place called the Needle, which should be impossible since everyone there has a chip inside of them stopping them from being violent. This killer traveled from person to person, something referred to as "redlining." The Seventh Doctor immediately redlined after being chipped. This whole situation began because a time traveller came to the needle, and the time travel mechanism was organic and a part of her, which made the computer go mad. The Doctor was drawn there and was sensitive to redlining due to his time sensitive nature and his biology. (Audio: Red)

Simon and Joanne, two characters in Lant Land, thought that Tegan and Turlough's names were unbelievable and proposed they change them to Yvonne and Derek. (Audio: Lant Land)

The Eleventh Doctor once gave the name Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart as a pseudonym. (Novel: Shroud of Sorrow)

Turlough hates the cold and will complain if put in it. (Audio: Singularity)

The Sixth Doctor and Evelyn once thought they had accidentally cockblocked Julius Caesar's parents on the night of his conception. This meant that instead a baby girl named Julia was born, which Evelyn thought would be a brilliant chance to revolutionize the world.

Eventually, the two realize that 101 BC is before 100 BC and that they were doing this for no reason at all. (Audio: 100 BC)

The Galyari are a species of 8-foot tall reptiles that had extraordinary eyesight. Because of their exceptional vision, they found the Sixth Doctor to be literally painful to look at because of his coat. They were afraid of him and called him "the Sandman." (Audio: The Sandman)

The Tenth Doctor referred to the Seventh as the mysterious and manipulative type, the sort of rebellious phase someone goes through when they turn 1000 years old. (Novel: Legends of Camelot)

Joshua Douglas was a companion of the Third Doctor but stopped traveling with him after a disagreement. He was later killed while with the Fourth Doctor and Leela. (Audio: The Catalyst)

Mandy Litherland was incredibly fond of and sweet on the Ninth Doctor. After traveling to the past, she kissed the Doctor. The Doctor almost invited her to travel with him but didn't because he knew she probably wouldn't accept. (Audio: Auld Lang Syne)

Sometimes, when the Sixth Doctor is distressed and going off the deep end of his emotions, he has been known to break down in Evelyn's presence and cuddle with her. (Audio: Arrangements for War)

The Veil left the Twelfth Doctor a spade made of duralinum and a dwarf star alloy, which would have been strong enough to break the azbantium wall. The Doctor was wary of it, assuming it was a trap, and he used his fists on the wall instead. (Short story: The Veil)

Missy once saved the life of a young girl whose sister had asked her for help. She had stopped to rescue the child stuck high up while being chased by an assassin, without further witness, and without reward. The Doctor does not know of this. (Audio: The Chaos Cascade)

A young version of the Fifth Doctor post-Four to Doomsday once got displaced in time. Experiencing time slippage, he swapped places with his future selves and learned that Adric had died far too early. Eventually, he ended up in the body of an Auton duplicate the Master had made of the Doctor. He eventually faded away and died as the time slippage unraveled his past and his memories to an extent where he was running on his most basic desire: to save Adric. He had been convinced that if he was put back in his own time he could save him, and for that reason, the older Fifth Doctor refused to return him. (Audio: The Auton Infinity)
