When you eat an apple the juice runs clear but when you buy apple juice at the capitalist bourgeois grocery store it is yellow?

this is because factory farm raised apples are not given enough water to hydrate properly so their juice has a higher concentration of nitrogen and urea, which gives apple juice that distinctive yellow coloration. The more properly hydrated your apples, the more their juice will be diluted with water and the juice will run clear.

this is why you should always get organic free range apples and free range apple juice. support your local farmers.

Did you know?

That you can be an animal rights activist without being vegan or vegetarian?

That you can believe that the cruelty towards animals in the meat industry is unjust without believing everyone in the world should be vegan/vegetarian?

That you can believe that there are far better, more humane and merciful ways to slaughter livestock than what we currently do without being vegan?

That you can believe that the conditions and environments of animals, farm or pets or wild, should be a priority amongst people without being vegan or vegetarian?

That you can have strong opinions on animal cruelty without being vegan or vegetarian?

That you can be vegan without trying to force everyone else to also be vegan?

(Kudos to thoes who do. Love u)

That you can believe all life, from insects to trees, from land and sea, should be treated with respect- while still also acknowledging that no one is ever going to stop eating meat?

That people are vegans for alot of reasons, and not always, if not rarely, for protest or performative reasons?

With all of the twists and turns Nico had gone through in his life, he knew he could always rely on Will as his constant - more specifically, Will being around to dote on him after a return from the Underworld. 

They’d established early on in their relationship that Nico often didn’t need healing whenever he came back from running an errand for his father. Yes, his vitals were abnormal, and sometimes his fading would return, and on occasion he would come back to the surface with a few minor cuts and scrapes. But after more than a few small disagreements, Will conceded that doctors - or heads of infirmaries, or med school students - didn’t always know best, and admitted that the best person to handle Nico’s care was, in fact, Nico.

Imagine that.

Hello hello, just wanted to share what I've been up to~

I harvested a cabbage yesterday!

This one, I tried to twist the head off in an attempt to grow a second crop of head(s), but it twisted the whole thing right out of the ground. Alas, that didn't work this time, but next time maybe.

I didn't end up weighing this cabbage, but I wanted to take a pic to share how big it grew alone. The rows I grow in currently are roughly 2 feet across.

I took this head and peeled it apart a bit. While all the leaves are edible, or could eb used for cooking or plating meals, i wanted to give our chickens a lil extra greens. So to them they went :)

This is what it looked like inside.

I sliced 1/2 the head up to enjoy with bbq chicken sandwiches last night. (And we used quite a bit!) But still had enough for an omlette this morning and a bit extra. The other 1/2 I'll probably slice for similar meals.

That's it for now :) thanks for coming by 🌱

🌱🥬Happy homesteading and garden success🥬🌱

Will didn’t do anything halfway. After discovering their nonbinary identity, they were quick to share the news with all of their friends, proudly announcing that they would be using they/them pronouns from then on. They’d made announcements in each of their classes at NRU to inform classmates and professors alike of their new pronouns, they’d called their mom and their dad, and they’d nearly started telling strangers on the street until Nico pointed out that that might not be totally necessary. 

Everyone had been supportive, at least as far as Nico could tell. The group chat - at least, everyone who could text from within the safety of Camp Jupiter’s borders - had been sending all sorts of yellow and purple hearts for days, which Nico was later informed were some of the pride colors for nonbinary people. (He had kind of thought that the rainbow was supposed to be all-encompassing in a way - he certainly preferred it over the toothpaste colors designated to gay men. But that was just a personal preference.)
