Sargassum, a type of brown macroalgae, has been inundating beaches across the Caribbean since 2011. It comes from the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean.

The seaweed has harmed Caribbean economies and human health, making it a national emergency in some island-nations.

Over the past decade, entrepreneurs and scientists have found ways to turn sargassum into nutrient-rich biofertilizers, biostimulants and other organic products to boost agricultural yields while cutting back on chemicals.

Small-scale industry or regional boon?

While the industry remains a small club, the issue isn’t going away. Mexico uses sargassum for a long list of products, such as eco-concrete and biogas. And in Miami, a recent initiative offered cash prizes for innovative uses of sargassum as a mitigation measure, including Carbonwave and a St. Lucian biofertilizer company called Algas Organics. As the industry grows, Morrison anticipated that “ownership” over sargassum, depending on its location in the water, could become a point of contention.

For now, the agroecological benefits of using sargassum to help produce more nutritious food are what keep Forte motivated at Red Diamond.

As a child, his grandmother’s garden was paradise. He climbed mango trees, plucked ripe bananas off the stems and stole the occasional “finger fruit,” a local term for carambola (star fruit, Averrhoa carambola), as an afternoon snack. Forte watched as she recycled plant matter back into the soil, allowing the crops to proliferate year-round.

Looking back, Forte realized his grandmother was practicing what is now called permaculture, a style of agroecology that prioritizes recycling nutrients in a zero-waste manner.

“Nature is something that is ever-changing,” Forte said. “We have to be as flexible and as adaptable as nature to be able to work with it effectively.”

Thinking about these two football players from high school. We were all in math class, and this girl is talking to them telling them a story and I tune in, “but my dad lost the dare, and he had to wear a DRESS!” She starts to laugh. They stare at her. guy 1: “what’s funny about that?”

guy 2: “I don’t get it, what’s the joke?”

guy 1: “Is it that he had to wear a dress? men can wear dresses, [girl’s name].”

guy 2: “yeah there’s nothing funny about that”

Her laughter stopped and she started fumbling for something to say.

Bless these two beefy football bros, I love them dearly

Me, having a strained relationship with my psychologically abusive, narcissistic father, who has never spent time bonding with me, nor has he emotionally supported me once throughout my lifetime:

“When it comes to women, they don’t get rights. They get restrictions…. I have five daughters and eight granddaughters, and the one thing I worry about more than anything else is their health. I like to see their happy faces. I like to see them feeling good… So I want them to have doctors making decisions, not some employer who has a self-righteous moral view that he wants to impose on my daughter, my granddaughter, my wife. Nuh uh. On our side of the aisle, we believe that women are capable of making their own healthcare decisions.”

- Frank Lautenberg (New Jersey State Senator (D) from 1982 to 2001)

SkyClan's Gorge Camp

Set this one up during SkyClan and the Stranger, so I could have Sol in it :) Otherwise pretty straight forward! Leafstar and Sharpclaw in charge, Echosong and Frecklepaw being the Medicine Cats.

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]
