[tanuki-kimono]

Great example of everyday noragi (work clothes, worn by farmers for ex.)​ from Taisho period. Note the makisode sleeve shape, offering freedom of mouvement!

You can see the close-up of the weave, made from asa (bast-fiber like hemp or linen) and kamiyori (twisted paper thread​). Despite its "rugged" materials, weave is delicately interlocked with regular black stripes.

The coat also presents geometrical sashiko (white quilting), both reinforcing easily worn areas (collar, hems, inner center back), and decorating the garment.

PSA for writers: please please please don't put characters doing manual labour in "silk" kimono. I'll be forever grateful ;)

@shilohta pulled a bit of a uno reverse on me and wanted me to draw my own blorbo, which is not what i thought would happen, but they're the boss! did a bit of everything in the small list they suggested

here's the post for the jacket and some other shots of it. i changed some details, but given the rather slim figure of miqo'te ingame it works very well by itself. considered giving him pants instead but then i realized i had misjudged the size of the paper anyway so dress it was. bit of a formal whm/bard fit i suppose

pallas miqo'te are a hardy mountain clan of moon keepers and they're all magnificently thickhaired and sideburned. and they stare so well

Here's your reminder that paper bags aren't sustainable for the long term as they're made today.

If we want to be sustainable, we should be using hemp paper. It's cheaper, grows faster, grows almost anywhere, and with the start of the cannabis industry, it prevents waste.

is there a reason mj is on pellets and not the others? also, idk if this applies to birds, but isnt pine harmful? ik with reptiles we have to avoid pine and cedar bc reptiles have sensitive respiratory systems, and those woods can aggravate it. (NOT trying to accuse you of being a bad keeper, this is just what i know. its also for a totally different animal)

Since Mj is a hen she has bigger wetter poops then my boys so it's mostly to just be a bit less smelly and easier to keep clean. With puppy pads she was getting her feathers dirty and stained pretty often. On pine pellets she keeps herself pristine.

The pine pellets are safe in my experience, my vet has no problem with it and my birds have never had respiratory issues from it. Only thing I dislike about it is that it gets pretty dusty which can be irritating, but shavings get everywhere and aren't as absorbent, so I just prefer them.

Also the wood is processed in a way that gets rid of irritating oils before it becomes a pellet. Wood based bedding is pretty much the norm when it comes to poultry at least in my area.

I love how we were all expected to go all in on paper straws, when Hemp plastic is biodegradable. Just one more example of conservative prohibitions holding us back as a species.

What Is Hemp?

It’s A Trillion Dollar Cash Crop.

Hemp is a name given to a strain of the cannabis plant.

Hemp is a name given to cultivars of the cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa) that have been selected over many generations for fiber and seed production. Most hemp cultivars contain less than 1.5% THC, a narcotic compound that has the potential for abuse in high concentrations. Cannabis sativa cultivars selected and developed for their drug properties, referred to as marijuana, or dagga, can have a THC content of 3%-25%.  Hemp is a bast fiber, producing its fibers in the stalk similar to flax, kenaf, and sun hemp.

Multiple Uses

Hemp fiber and seed are used to produce a wide range of commodities including food and beverage products, fiberboard, insulation, paper, composites, textiles, carpets, animal bedding and feed, cosmetics, body-care products, soaps, paints, fuels, and medicines.

Hemp Seed Food and Beverage Products

Hemp seed contains about 25% protein, 30% carbohydrates, & 15% insoluble fiber. Hemp seed is reported to contain more easily digestible protein than soybeans. Hemp seed contains all 8 amino acids essential to human nutrition. Hemp seed is high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, carotene, sulfur, iron and zinc, as well as Vitamins A, E, C, B1, B2, B3, and B6.

Hemp seed imported into the United States or Canada must be steam sterilized at between 180 degrees F and 212 degrees F for 15 minutes to prevent sprouting. Many US facilities receive imported viable seed under customs bond, steam it, and release it to the consignee or customer with a Certificate of Sterilization.

Hemp food and beverage products include hemp oil and seed, flour, pasta, cheese, tofu, salad dressings, snacks, sweets, hemp protein powders, soft drinks, beer, and wine. Hemp beer can be made from the seed, flowers, sprouts, and seed cake that is a by-product of oil pressing. Hemp beer is produced and sold in Europe and the United States of America.

Hemp Oil

Hemp seed is 25% to 35% oil, and is one of the oils lowest in saturated fats (8%). Hemp seed oil is the richest source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (80%). Hemp seed oil is the only common edible seed oil containing Omega-6 Gamma-Linolenic Acid. Hemp seed oil is very fragile and not suitable for cooking.

Pressed hemp seed oil must be bottled immediately under oxygen-free conditions, and must be refrigerated in dark, airtight containers.

Fiberboard

Hemp fiberboard tested by Washington State University Wood Materials and Engineering Laboratory proved to be two and one half times stronger than wood MDF composites, and the hemp composite boards were three times more elastic.

Hemp herds can be used in existing mills without major changes in equipment. Russia, Poland and other Eastern European countries already manufacture composite boards from hemp and other plant materials.

Pulp and Paper

The major use of hemp fiber in Europe is in the production of specialty papers such as cigarette paper, archival paper, tea bags, and currency paper. The average bast fiber pulp and paper mill produces 5,000 tons of paper per year. Most mills process long bast fiber strands, which arrive as bales of cleaned ribbon from per-processing plants located near the cultivation areas.

Composites

Until the 1930’s, hemp-based cellophane, celluloid and other products were common, and Henry Ford used hemp to make car doors and fenders. Today hemp herds can be used to make new plastic and injection-molded products or blended into recycled plastic products. Hemp fibers are introduced into plastics to make them stiffer, stronger and more impact resistant. Hemp plastics can be designed that are hard, dense, and heat resistant, and which can be drilled, ground, milled, and planed.

Hemp plastic products currently made include chairs, boxes, percussion instruments, lampshades, bowls, cups, spectacles, jewelry, skateboards, and snowboards.

Hemp Animal Care

Hemp horse bedding and cat litter are produced and sold in Europe. After oil is extracted from the hemp seed, the remaining seed cake is about 25% protein and makes an excellent feed for chicken, cattle, and fish. Chickens fed hemp seed on a regular basis have been found to produce more eggs, without the added hormones used in most poultry plants.

Fuels

Hemp seed oil can be combined with 15% methanol to create a substitute for diesel fuel which burns 70% cleaner than petroleum diesel. Hemp stalks are rich in fiber and cellulose, making them conducive for conversion into ethanol and methanol fuels that have a higher octane than gasoline and produce less carbon monoxide. These biomass fuels are also free from sulfur, and do not require the addition of lead and benzene used to boost octane and improve engine performance in fossil fuels. Ethanol holds condensation, eliminating oxidation and corrosion, and is reported to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 30%.

Hemp has been studied in Ireland as a biomass fuel to generate electricity. Hemp has been reported to yield 1000 gallons of methanol per acre year. Hemp stalk can be converted to a charcoal-like fuel through a thermochemical process called pyrolysis. Henry Ford operated a biomass pyrolitic plant at Iron Mountain, Michigan in the mid-20th.

Paints and Varnishes and Binders

Until the 1930's, most paints were made from hemp seed oil and flax seed oil. Hemp oil makes a durable, long lasting paint that renders wood water-resistant. Hemp herds have the potential to make glues for composite construction products that are non-toxic and superior to binders currently used. With this technology, industry can produce composite products where all components are derived from hemp.

Markets for Hemp Pulp

Some paper manufacturers already have the equipment to process decorticated hemp fiber into paper. The leading European supplier of non-wood pulp, Celesa, currently produces about 10,000 tons per year of pulp from hemp. The use of hemp pulp in blends with recycled fiber of other non-wood fibers is growing. Tests by several European pulp and paper producers suggest that hemp pulp may replace cotton cost effectively in several specialty paper applications.

Potential Markets for Medical Application of Low-THC Hemp Cultivars

Many cannabis medicines have been produced using cannabis cultivars high in THC, and there has been medical research into cannabis that is low in THC and high in CBD.  CBD is a cannabinoid that does not have many of the psychoactive effects associated with THC.  CBD has been used to treat the following medical conditions: epilepsy, dystonic movement disorders, inflammatory disorders, pain, chronic insomnia, chorea, cerebral palsy, and Tourette's syndrome. According to a July 1998 report by the National Institute of Health, CBD may hold promise for preventing brain damage in strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and even heart attacks and has been found to prevent brain cell death in an experimental stroke model.

something that only now that i have experience in that field pisses me off so much about hp is the fucking parchment use. it's been said before how annoying parchment is to use and how many animals would be needed to make that mich parchment but also a scottish castle is a high moisture environment which is at least good for the material but will also leave absolutely everything smelling like wet goat/sheep

So... This is actually a really interesting problem, because industrial hemp touts that it's more drought resistant/needs less water than cotton, which is pretty low water requirement and the crop most likely to grown without irrigation where I grew up (Lubbock area) but still often irrigated. And crop irrigation is where something like 90-95% of all water drawn off the Ogallala aquifer goes- if we could somehow drastically restrict or reduce irrigation especially in the western half of Texas, it would potentially allow the aquifers to start charging again. (The ideal solution would be letting them go back to a native plant prairie but the financials of buffalo or cattle ranching don't work out for any farmer that doesn't own oil wells means without major government programs, this won't happen)

However, everything I'm seeing shows that marijuana has higher water requirements, which with them being different strains could be very possible. I haven't seen any non-irrigated and really any non-covered grow facilities in Oklahoma. With it being a high value consumable crop that needs strict nutrient tolerances to get the ratios of cannabinoids desired, that's likely necessary

BUT on the other hand the much higher returns for mj may even out to where much less water could be used to grow the same amount of dollar value of crop, but then there's still the federal legality, knowledge and infrastructure requirements for mj vs current crops, some potential risk of the price falling as more and more states legalize, cultural values keeping farmers from being willing to transition, etc etc means a lot of farmers aren't likely to transition anyway.

On the other other hand, eastern Texas is not nearly as aquifer dependant- Dallas gets twice as much rainfall on average than Lubbock- and living in OKC (not quite as much rain), it is insane how much rain we get here. Not necessarily consistently for crops, but enough that almost a third of the entire state's population gets their municipal water from 7 lakes - about 3 million people. There's still some irrigation, I'd need to look into the east Texas groundwater situation, but it's very possible that the average grow facility could survive entirely on rainwater catchment. And could potentially price out the western half of the state from producing plus there's going to be way more demand and potential investors around DFW, Houston, and Austin anyway, though I'm sure they'd pop up just about everywhere.

This is a really long winded way to say it probably, without any real in depth research (there might be studies? I'm not sure, wasn't something that seemed that likely when I was deeper in that realm in college), wouldn't actually have much net change. Not without either very significant out of town investors or government interference to specifically preserve the water table.

I do hold scorn for people in weed states I do. I really do. The way your stupid 21 year old ass can go to the weed store and buy weed. The way your stupid 21 year old ass can buy weed online not a care in the world. And you have so much to choose from. You have so much fucking gorrila cumshot big fat load of cum horse cock mega 1 billion tch % to choose from and they all got different names and when our good texan plugs come home from colorado they bring that poison with them. They bring that poison home to us. And the people of texas, we're smoking that poison. Were smoking that filthy filthy colorado 10000 thc shit, and were dying. Were dying out here. The soil down here is lerfect for weed. If we could have weed we could create, beautiful poison. Way more toxic than colorodo. Way more toxic than california. We can make weed so insane, bitched from colorado will come down here, to smoke OUR poison. And WE could name it shit like Ram Ranch. We could name it shit like Horse Erection. We could name it shit like, I dont know, Forget The Alamo. YOU, worthless idiots up north, can smoke our latino magic. You dont got tejanos. You dont got our technology. You don't got what it takes. You dont know what its like. Theyre not legalizing weed down here cause they hate us. You know they do. You know for a fact they do. So yeah. Just think before you spark up with that shit you got down the street trouble free. Do so in my name. In our name. Keep the less fortunate in mind. I HOPE THE CIELING FAN FALLS ON YOU
