"Salmon Run"

Is she bringing the salmon up the bank to fertilize the trees, or to eat it? Why not both? 🐟🌲

I like to imagine that Phoenixes are not birds but in fact Pyrophilic Plants that convergently evolved to take Avian form. They hold their seed within their body and the fiery end of the old Phoenix provides the trigger for the new one to germinate (producing a nice fertile bed of ash in the process)

I’m approaching 27 which means that we are now in this unexpected period of life where we need to replace all of our “good enough for now” things that we got super cheap (or free from family) when we first started living on our own. I am realizing that it is VERY difficult to get rid of things, not just from an emotional attachment standpoint but also:

“Well it technically DOES still work even if it’s unpleasant and falling apart” (especially applicable to ugly/uncomfortable furniture)

“We don’t have to get rid of it, we can always repair it” (it is literally broken and falling apart)

“Wouldn’t it be Bad and Consumeristic to just throw something away that isn’t actually broken just because I want a new one?” (this one plagues me)

“Getting a New Thing would be way too expensive” (hasn’t even checked the price of a replacement, I absolutely can afford it but it would cost more than $50)

Even when I’ve fought through those arguments (which is very hard to do considering these are things I learned while growing up during the 2008 recession and struggling financially due to severe illness and death in the family when I was young) and come out the other side determined to actually replace something, a new issue arises. “How am I going to get rid of the old thing?”

“I can’t donate this because it’s broken or stained”

“I want to sell this but this requires a lot of energy that I don’t have (photographing the item, pricing the item, posting an ad for the item, sorting through offers for the item, arranging pickup for the item, possibly even shipping the item)”

“I want to throw this away but it’s too large to put in the garbage so it must go on the curb and I don’t know the protocol for that”

“I want to throw this away but it’s too large to put in the garbage and too broken to give away so it must go to the dump and I don’t have a vehicle I can use to take this there so I will need to reach out to family for help”

“I want to throw this away but I’m not sure how to do so in an Environmentally Friendly way”

This sort of situation is a nightmare for my mentally ill mind, and it results in me simply giving up and putting up with keeping the shitty item I know I want to replace and repeating the same excuses to myself to justify it enough that I don’t break down in frustrated tears every time I look at the thing I’ve been wanting to get rid of for months.

I’m sick of it though. I am tired of having to put up with being stuck with something I don’t like just because it’s not “bad enough” to justify going through the stress of removing from my life. I am tired of living with these things that I want to get rid of taking up the space I want to give to something new that I do love that I picked out myself on purpose. I am tired of my own happiness not being a good enough reason to justify doing something difficult or inconvenient. I am approaching 30. I don’t want to live the next decade of my life like I’ve lived the first two, just dealing with what’s been given to me and not saying no, incapable of removing things I don’t like to make space for things I do.

Then you do not know the core principle of veganism, which is animal suffering, welfare and rights. Animals are considered individuals under veganism and that's why a killing of an animal is compared to murder and forced artificial insemination by humans is compared to rape.

Veganism, although there are different fractions, is not advocacy for more ethical animal consumption because that would be like advocating for more ethical murder which is a contradition. That's why vegans get so heated about it and throw insults. Hope that makes sense.

Veganism wants to find a way where killing animals for nutrients will not be necessary anymore.

cool man 👍 how does that ideology include indigenous people who have been using animal products sustainably for hundreds of years

How much faster will the plants grow after I buy this potion? Will I need to give the plants more nutrients?

"No, you won't. This potion speeds the process up by 10 times!"

Starting A Successful Garden From Scratch

Vertical gardening techniques are a great way to maximize the area in your garden, especially if you have limited space. By planting shrubs vertically, you can increase the number of plants you can grow in a small area. You can use trellises, stakes, and other supports to grow climbing plants which can add more dimension to your backyard and create a more private and intimate area.

Understanding NPK Analysis in Different Types of Manure: A Guide for Farmers

Manure is one of the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly fertilizers available to farmers. However, not all manure is created equal. Understanding the nutrient composition—commonly expressed as NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium)—is crucial for optimizing crop yields and soil health. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the NPK analysis for common types of manure, along with…
