I've finally settled on a desired reality and this time I'm probably actually going to stick with it.

some of you being like "any civilian killed in war time is a war crime" do not actually know what the legal term "war crime" means, but more importantly you seem to only care about certain causalities, whereas the poor Thai migrant farmhands getting slaughtered can go fuck themselves, apparently, because how dare they travel far from home, which is always a rural and poor area of Thailand, so that they can earn money to send back to their families, in most cases so that their children can go to college and escape the cycle of poverty.

but no! only one hash tag at a time as a thought in your brains.

#once again the american left decides that asian men are not human. great job y'all. #as usual: yes i AM part of the american left but I don't mindlessly echo chamber my two remaining brain cells to death #the poor thai agricultural workers from again historically impoverished areas of their country are not the oppressor or the colonizer #anyway have you seen the video of the guy getting decapitated by a shovel? yeah

coming to grips with the possibility that i might not go to grad school at all and i’ll genuinely learn organic/regenerative agriculture and agroforestry from the farmers in my community is so scary but also feels like something i’m inevitably sliding towards and something that will guide me towards a life that i’ll love forever

#so so grateful for my job that’s connected me to so many wonderful farmers doing wonderful things #i’m reaching out to some urban farms to hopefully volunteer over the summer and i’m going to pester a friend of mine who runs a rural farm #into letting me work for him for free in the late summer/fall when i have a car! #maybe i’ll study agricultural studies at my alma mater or at u of g i don’t know or take an urban ag postgrad certificate at tmu #but i don’t think i need to… frightening!

girls after an average shift

#CANT FEEL MY LEGS 🧍🏻‍♀️ #tbh i get bad joints sometimes like not awful it is just a little achey bc my mum’s arthritis genetics Got Me #and i woke up this morning and immediately was like. oh. this is gonna be bad isn’t it #and then clocked a 9 hour shift that literally didn’t have a single slow down #like when I tell you we were slammed off our feet from the moment I walked through the DOOR #and it was just a perpetual rush from that moment on. like i haven’t stopped. close was MIDNIGHT #my legs hurt so bad I feel like there’s metal in my knees. i feel like i need oiling #I’m sweaty and gross and tired and achey and I have another close shift TOMORROW #but it’s agricultural show weekend (hence the business) so a load of the waitresses ‘snuck’ outside (we pretend to clear glasses from the #outdoor tables) to watch the fireworks and it was pretty cute. like no matter how shit my job or shift is i do still love most of my #colleagues and we always have a proper laugh together. small victories #AND I GET PAID TODAY LETS GOOOOOOO #hella slaves to capitalism

Ok, but as someone whose job basically consists of "underappreciated and underfunded efforts to keep out new invasive species (whether insects or diseases) that could ravage US agriculture," I get why Kaguragi Dybowski is like, "I will do anything I can to protect my country, the breadbasket of Terra, because if it falls, it will starve the entire continent."

#super sentai #kingohger #do i agree wholly with his approach? #nope #but boy howdy since getting this job i have FEELS over agriculture #how precarious it can be #how corporate interests can taint the whole thing #how much i want to take the executives of bayer/montsanto and leave them for God Kabuto to do what it will

the thing about Hawai’i politics is that. You absolutely need to criticize the local government. But you also need to stand the economic and political politics of living in a place where the local government doesn’t have an iota of the power of the mega corporations like Hilton and Sheraton that run mega resorts here, nor the billionaires like mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, or Jeff bezos that run second homes here or have quasi-feudal estates or exert far far more power than the relatively progressive county and state governments

like. You have to clock what it is that a man worth over 100 billion dollars purchased 98% of an island. What that’s like. What power does a city councilman who represents that island in a council have over a man worth over 100 billion who both owns the land people live on AND the hotels they work at

#A) HI runs and is far more like a separate nation than another U.S. state even if under mainland colonial control #B) us imperialism is and always has run through the interests of mega corporations that may not be *officla* government actors #So so so many issues boil into the market forces in a Neo imperial world in a place with a long history of colonialism #schools struggle to keep teachers and local businesses struggle to keep employees because the wages don’t match the insane cost of living #Local agriculture and food industries struggle because the cost of supplies and cost of living for farmers #Makes their produce more expensive than most people can afford so we have to buy from Walmart #Young people and families keep leaving and there’s increasingly severe labour shortages for basically ever job in terms of #Everything from minimum wage local jobs to local doctors teachers and lawyers #So every aspect of local society struggles to keep going #And all those deficits make hi a harder and harder place to live #There’s market forces that are just. Beyond us all #also the most powerful gov actor by far is the national military and you think city council has more control than the pacific fleet? PFFFF

a commune can have modern tech

a commune is not necessarily a hippy commune where people make daisy necklaces or some shit. liberals clearly don't understand this subject. my home town is a commune. people trade food and when someone needs help we help them. everyone farms. but that doesn't mean theres no technology. work is hard. farming really hurts sometimes, despite the payoff. it is still a modern society with cars and phones.

with the rise of technology, anarchocommunism becomes more and more plausible. without technology, a commune means working constantly til youve got back pain at the age of 25. but with technology, an anarchocommunist society can work. a big part of anarchocommunism is that work is done voluntarily. no one wants to be a cashier. thats a very easy job to replace with technology. we should not live in a world where robots taking people's jobs is a bad thing. we should live in a world where robots taking up jobs means freedom. obviously, some jobs require people, like conservation and medicine. you'd be surprised how many people are willing to help people by taking up these jobs. i plan to farm so people can have enough food, and im also going to study conservation and ecology.

anarchocommunism does not mean doing away with advanced technology.

what other jobs can you think of? leave it in the tags.

interestingly, robots could actually replace surgeons soon. we could still have medical professionals directing them of course.

Agriculture recruitment agencies

Agricultural managers oversee and implement duties on farms, nurseries, greenhouses,  and other agricultural production sites. This position is crucial for the nation's food supply to remain stable. Many of them are self-employed and work in various aspects of agriculture jobs. Others who work on larger industrial farms may supervise a group of workers or have more specialized responsibilities. Agricultural sciences or other botany-related bachelor's degrees are becoming the industry standard for non-self-agriculture jobs employed workers despite no educational qualifications.

I do sometimes resent my landlord/roommate for being um. significantly wealthier than me but he told me today that he just got his third bachelor’s degree (biology, environmental science, chemistry) & at this point I mostly just feel like he deserves it

#he got a job offer out of nowhere from the minnesota department of agriculture Literally while we were talking #he’s also kind of one of those grindset people which is crazy to me. can’t relate #anyway. he told me if I get a b.s. in like. anything. he’d be able to get me a job somewhere w a salary of like $60k. which is an insane #amount of money to think about #marc.txt

[nana-glass-chillhop-radio-hour]

the fact that the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour makes the fact that some entire sectors aren't getting even that so fucking batshit insane

#sometimes my job is learning hogwilf shot about agricultural or environmental science #anyway. radon can be found in water too not just air #people within my college have been working on standardizing the method to test for it accurately. and ways to mediate it (i.e. remove it #from the water).

[porchprairie]

Y'all I've been reading about no-till farming (following the news of the passing of Dave Brandt, rip) and like. I think I'm a convert. How are we not talking about this all the time in ag circles?

Some of these farmers are out here getting higher crop yields on ONE EIGHTH (12%!) of the nitrogen fertilizer levels "traditional" farming uses. And way less water, I forget what that figure was. From not tilling! And using cover/companion crops!

That means less fertilizer used and less runoff into waterways, which means better water quality. So like. This whole process is way better and more friendly to the ecosystem, holistically

Haven't found a lot of info on how native species might be incorporated into that, so maybe more to come

#no till #no till farming #i'm ready to quit my job lmao #agriculture
