religion will be like, it's because women talk to animals and eat fruit that childbirth is so painful, and the soil so hard to work! Not because we took away all of the midwives and created horrendous agriculture practices

poverty is not natural.

before we created artificial cities, there was no poverty. each man had all he needed to create all he needed. the only difference is our environment and how we expanded what our "needs" are.

how can you claim to be a man when you never even grew up as a boy?

you were never raised a boy, you have no idea what it's like to grow up as a boy. you were raised as the female that you are.

by what standard did i not grow up as a boy? did i not get dirty enough or pull enough ponytails or play enough catch with my dad? is it that my hair was too long or that my clothes were too pink, or maybe that i was friends with too many girls or had crushes on too many other boys? should i have built with blocks instead of playing house, or liked dogs more than cats, or wanted to become a firefighter instead of a vet? if my grandpa gave me handshakes, not hugs, would that be better for you? if the tears bad been beaten out of me, would i get to be a man?

what of the men who grew up decades or even centuries ago, or somewhere across the world from you? surely, their boyhoods looked different than yours. have they lost their right to manhood too in your eyes, because they didn’t grow up quite right? or is it just us that you expect to live up to one stereotypical concept of what it means to grow up as a boy?

and what if you were right? what if my childhood was girlhood after all? i’m a 22 year old man with a partner of 6 years and a job in the same field as my degree and an adult life that i’m building for myself. how much of myself can you really expect me to define by who i was when i was a child? i would hope you don’t define your life by the way you grew up either; maybe your childhood was good enough to be worth basing the rest of your life on, but that would make you one of the lucky ones. the rest of us will be defining our adult lives for ourselves, thank you very much.

It doesn’t take a health food nut to see that modern society has a dysfunctional relationship with food. As in almost every other arena of life, our priorities are elsewhere — if not in wage slavery and staying out of debt, then in escapist entertainment or selfnumbing addictions. Even among radicals and anarchists, healthy and mindful dietary practices are often considered a luxury reserved for that mythical post-revolutionary era that we are supposedly laying the groundwork for, when our children’s children, or their children, can enjoy safe, pure, nutritious food. Sounds like a plan. Except for a few things...

While time frames are questionable, there is no denying that the current food production system is a recipe for disaster. Soils are becoming sterile, salinated and toxic, eroding into streams and poisoning irrigation and drinking waters. As is a basic natural inclination, “weeds”, insects, viruses, fungi, and bacteria are adapting to each new, stranger dose of pesticide and herbicide with a vengeance/developing resistances that rival that of the pathogens resisting antibiotic drugs in medicine. The health crises resulting from the malnutrition of the industrialized west — and those outside the west who have been force fed our diets for a century or more — multiply and deepen faster than the pharmaceutical industry can develop their quick fixes.

More fundamental problems like global warming, species extinctions, and polluted waters, all of which affect agriculture and health profoundly, complicate the crisis. So when passing off the job of steering our food systems back on a path of ecological and social sanity, just what is it we are asking future generations to inherit?

Horror idea: Blitz visits a glue factory

【𐂃】 ❝ THAT'S WHERE FUCKIN' GLUE COMES FROM ?!?!!?!? ❞ what knackerman asshole thought of this as a prosperous enterprise ?! It's diabolical, grim, heartless on all accounts. He's not stepping one square inch near that building --- because if he were, there's a molotov cocktail he will be more than willing to throw at all those sick disingenuous facilities. ( humans are the worst ! )

i have an issue with lore olympus's depiction of persephone's "goddess of spring" thing. first of all she shouldn't even be the goddess of spring yet, as spring shouldn't even exist yet. but whatever rachel doesn't understand / care about the myths she’s adapting what else is new.

but also i don't quite understand why, especially in the beginning, rachel chose to make everyone (including persephone) act like "goddess of spring" is like.. an unimportant job? like she's "just" the goddess of spring? does rachel not understand how fucking important the end of winter and the coming of spring would be to a society that relied heavily on agriculture for their food?

idk it seems like rachel thinks spring is just flowers and it shows :-/

Indigenous Hawaiians really had a good system going: wake up reaaally early and do most of the days work while it's cool and by the time the sun was up and it got hot the work was done and you're free to surf and socialize. I wish the white people realized they themselves could work smarter and not harder and get time to relax. Instead of calling Hawaiians lazy (and being genocidal about it)

so many times i'll think i found a great blog just for them to make one of two types of posts

(excellent vegan argument, statistics, whatever) "dni and get shot in the fucking head if you're a disgusting terf trash cunt"

(incredible radfem argument, statistic, whatever) "anyway vegans are sooooo entitled and they kill the environment and they're sooo preachy and actually i love to murder animals with my bare hands. i own an entire slaughterhouse. i own tyson. plants are murder bc pesticides. keto diet supreme."

A must watch 🙂▶️ The message, wisdom, and the bold yet respectful timbre of Zach's voice are so powerful and mesmerizing; you can clearly see that Jay is somewhat overshadowed by him. A pure bliss if you can spare the time.

I don't understand why Metaldehyde is used to control Snail and Slugs in Agricultural, Horticultural and Landscaping settings when Salt Exists, like think of it this way, instead of placing chemicals into Soil where your Food Grows and could easily be swept away by the Elements like Chemical Runoffs from Rainfall.

Why not just invest in Nanotech "Predators" that enter our Soil and when it detects an incoming Slug or Snail it sprays them with Salt, heck make the Tech remote controlled or be played like something out of a video Game where you control the "Predator" via a phone and shoot Salt Bullets at slugs and Snails, you can make the "Predator" JUMP on the plant without hurting it.

We already have that technology, why is everyone withholding this idea? Don't give me the excuse that it's Expensive cause I know it's expensive but why is no one thinking about this?
