"Despite the Central Appalachia ecosystem being historically famous as coal country, under this diverse broadleaf canopy lies a rich, biodiverse world of native plants helping to fill North America’s medicinal herb cabinet.

And it turns out that the very communities once reliant on the coalfields are now bringing this botanical diversity to the country.

“Many different Appalachian people, stretching from pre-colonization to today, have tended, harvested, sold, and used a vast number of forest botanicals like American ginseng, ramps, black cohosh, and goldenseal,” said Shannon Bell, Virginia Tech professor in the Dept. of Sociology. “These plants have long been integral to many Appalachians’ livelihoods and traditions.”

50% of the medicinal herbs, roots, and barks in the North American herbal supply chain are native to the Appalachian Mountains, and the bulk of these species are harvested or grown in Central Appalachia, which includes southern West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, far-southwest Virginia, and east Tennessee.

The United Plant Savers, a nonprofit with a focus on native medicinal plants and their habitats, has identified many of the most popular forest medicinals as species of concern due to their declining populations.

Along with the herbal supply chain being largely native to Appalachia, the herb gatherers themselves are also native [to Appalachia, not Native American specifically], but because processing into medicine and seasonings takes place outside the region, the majority of the profits from the industry do too.

In a press release on Bell’s superb research and advocacy work within Appalachia’s botanical communities, she refers back to the moment that her interest in the industry and the region sprouted; when like many of us, she was out in a nearby woods waiting out the pandemic.

“My family and I spent a lot of time in the woods behind our house during quarantine,” Bell said. “We observed the emergence of all the spring ephemerals in the forest understory – hepatica, spring beauty, bloodroot, trillium, mayapple. I came to appreciate the importance of the region’s botanical biodiversity more than ever, and realized I wanted to incorporate this new part of my life into my research.”

With co-investigator, John Munsell at VA Tech’s College of Natural Resources and Environment, Bell’s project sought to identify ways that Central Appalachian communities could retain more of the profits from the herbal industry while simultaneously ensuring that populations of at-risk forest botanicals not only survive, but thrive and expand in the region.

Bell conducted participant observation and interviews with wild harvesters and is currently working on a mail survey with local herb buyers. She also piloted a ginseng seed distribution program, and helped a wild harvester write a grant proposal to start a forest farm.

“Economic development in post-coal communities often focuses on other types of energy development, like fracking and natural gas pipelines, or on building prisons and landfills. Central Appalachia is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. I think that placing a greater value on this biodiversity is key to promoting a more sustainable future for the region,” Bell told VA Tech press.

Armed with a planning grant of nearly half a million dollars, Bell and collaborators are specifically targeting forest farming as a way to achieve that sustainable future.

Finally, enlisting support from the nonprofit organization Appalachian Sustainable Development, Virginia Tech, the City of Norton, a sculpture artist team, and various forest botanicals practitioners in her rolodex, Bell organized the creation of a ‘living monument’ along Flag Rock Recreation Area in Norton, Virginia.

An interpretive trail, the monument tells the story of the historic uses that these wild botanicals had for the various societies that have inhabited Appalachia, and the contemporary value they still hold for people today."

Fear-mongering and herbalism

Herbalism is a crucial element for many practitioners of witchcraft, and lately I've seen a lot of fear-mongering in the #baby-witch and #witchblr tags that it's raising some serious red flags. Caution is necessary, yes, but over-simplified warnings against herbs that have a very long history and tradition of safe and effective use can rob people of accessible, beneficial ways to take an active role in their own health and wellbeing.

True: People absolutely need to be cautious about what they are putting in their bodies. True: "Natural" does not equate to "good" or "healthy". True: You need to speak to a medical professional regarding medical issues.

All these things being true do not mean that you cannot find plants that are safe to ingest, and that can benefit your health and support you. You can use herbs safely and you do have the power and ability to find information about them.

I've literally seen posts that say not to ingest any kind of herb because "you don't know what's in them" and "you don't know dosage, so it might harm you".

This lack of nuance is precisely the type of thinking that breeds misinformation and unnecessary fear, as if there is not enough of that to go around! It seems like because MAGA and anti-vaxx folks have been using the line "do your own research!!" so much, people are associating research with... right wing conspiracy theory? Somehow? Don't forget that being capable of doing good research also means being capable of evaluating your sources, and thinking critically about what you're reading.

Here are some of the misconceptions I've come across in the last couple days:

Laypeople can't safely use herbs

Fear of toxicity in herbs is common and rational, but herbs that you can find in your kitchen are food-grade and widely available. You don't need to eat them in enormous quantities to experience their benefits.

For example, thyme can help support the lungs during cold and flu season. Ginger tea is great for minor digestive upsets. These are things you have access to and can provide a safe means of relief.

Local apothecaries are very knowledgeable about where they source their herbs and what dosages are safe. They are also able to tell you if their herbs are pesticide-free, organic, etc.

Where you want to be cautious is ordering herbs online, especially places like Amazon or Etsy where there is no control whatsoever. Even supplements have been found to frequently not contain what they are said to contain, and you really have to do research about the company you're buying from beforehand.

If you don't have a local apothecary, you can still buy herbs online! Just make sure you are using a reputable website such as Mountain Rose Herbs where you can get bulk herbs.

Lesser known herbs require more caution, but there are fantastic books about herbalism and they provide information on dosage and various ways the herbs can be used responsibly. Your local library is almost guaranteed to have several books about herbalism, and if you aren't sure about a particular herb, look it up in multiple other resources to see if their information matches up. You can even find information about many commonly used herbs on WebMD.

Also, don't forage herbs that you plan to ingest if you are not experienced. This is a recipe for disaster, and incredibly dangerous. I'm not going to go into super huge detail about this, because it would merit its own post, but seriously, just don't do it until you have experience. Plant identification apps are not sufficient to identify herbs you plan to ingest.

Herbal remedies cure major illnesses

Herbs can play a supportive role, but it's crucial to recognise their limits. Herbal medicine should complement, not replace, medical treatment for severe chronic conditions. Clinical herbalists are trained to assess what's appropriate for herb-based support and when a situation requires immediate medical attention.

Herbs are not a panacea that will cure every ailment. Every person is unique and any single herb can have wildly different effects on the body. Some people might find incredible relief, while another person may find no effect at all, or may even find an herb doesn't agree with them.

Herbalists think they are medical practitioners

Because there is no federally regulated body for herbalists, people sometimes think it's the wild west out there and anyone can do anything, but that's not the case. Herbalists are not exempt from the law, and no one is legally allowed to practice medicine if they are not licensed to do so. Period. No amount of traditional knowledge changes that.

While the herbalist profession is not regulated federally, there are regulating bodies that are run by herbalists and that set standards for what is expected and permitted. If you search for "herbalism guild Canada" you will find the Canadian Council of Herbalist Associations which has tons of information, and some provinces also have their own guilds. Most guilds will have a list of reputable herbalists that you can access and they have strict requirements for being added to those lists. You can find these requirements on their websites and gauge them for yourself.

Part of training to become a clinical herbalist is knowing you are not a medical practitioner. You are taught not to diagnose people, and how to recognise when something is outside of your scope of practice.

From the CCHA:

9. A registered herbal practitioner will  offer interdisciplinary collaboration with other health professionals

Herbalists focus on holistic, complementary care, rather than taking on the role of medical practitioners. A qualified herbalist works alongside them to support the body's systems, rather than attempting to independently treat or diagnose medical systems. For example, they might work with clients to ease side-effects from medication, but they won't independently treat serious conditions like infections.

Herbalists are anti-vaxx and anti-science

The vast majority of clinical herbalists are not anti-vaxx or anti-modern medicine at all, and focus on combining traditional knowledge about plants with modern science. Are there herbalists out there who are anti-vaxx? Absolutely, just like any demographic you can find people who are spouting nonsense, but that is not the norm.

Thankfully, herbalism schools and herbalists are pretty up front with their beliefs. The CCHA has these requirements for herbalists in the guild:

3. Herbalists have an extensive knowledge base combining traditional wisdom and modern scientific perspective       [...] 7. A registered herbal practitioner is trained in herbal safety, drug interactions, and possible contraindications [...] 10. A registered herbal practitioner is accountable  to a professional organization, must maintain annual continuing education and must abide by professional standards 

When I was looking for a clinical herbalist myself, I always checked their website information and whether they were registered with a guild, and what the requirements for that guild were. The herbalist I chose also had a clear section on her website where she stated that she had experience working with people on psychiatric medications.

You can also often find their stance on other things such as LGBTQIA+ issues (such as statements on their website regarding their approach to HRT).

The school I ultimately selected for my education was one that had explicit information about how they integrated new science into their curriculum, and how frequently it was updated.

If you are not finding the information you're looking for, just ask! It's completely acceptable and not rude to contact an herbalist and ask them what their approach is on the things you are concerned about. They will be happy to answer these questions and give you any information they can to help you decide if they are a good fit for you.

Conclusion

Herbalism is not about replacing medical care or promising miracle cures. It's about tapping into centuries-old knowledge and combining it with modern insights. Embrace herbs with curiosity, responsibility, and respect, and you can have an incredible and beneficial relationship with them.

I'm sure there are plenty of points here that I have omitted or not sufficiently covered. I hope readers will take this as an indictment of the author, me, rather than one against herbalism as a whole.

JusticeClan Hierarchy

a lot of these are taken straight from the warrior cats fandom wiki, but ofc I tweaked some of it to fit my au ^^

LEADER A leader is considered to be the most important cat in the clan. The leader's role is no different than the others, but there are a few add-ons. The leader is charged with the responsibility to manage and watch over the entire clan, maintaining discipline, order, and protection. The JusticeClan leader is normally granted nine lives and a new name with the suffix "-star" by ancestors in a dream after visiting the Moonshards.

DEPUTIES JusticeClan has not one but several deputies, with four as the limit. Deputies are second-in-command to the leader- or more fittingly, several-in-command. In situations where the leader can't fulfill their duties, one of them is chosen to serve their place. Deputies are in charge of organizing patrols, and are sought after by the leader for advice. Other than that, they're no different than warriors. When the leader dies or steps down from their position, the whole clan, minus kits and apprentices, has to vote on which deputy will take the leader's place. Deputies may also step down or retire and give up their rank if they so desire.

WARRIORS A warrior is an adult cat trained in the arts of fighting and hunting. Warriors make up the bulk of JusticeClan and provide the protection and food supply that keeps the clan safe and well-fed. There are also the senior warriors, or the seasoned warriors, which are older, more skilled cats who typically have a close connection with the leader and deputies. Senior warriors are often cats who have existed prior to the foundation of JusticeClan not long after the founders.

APPRENTICES An apprentice is a cat in training to become a warrior. Their names end in the suffix "-paw" to signify the new path their paws are following. Warriors usually take turns mentoring them, though typically there will be favorites among them. Most of the day, apprentices are taken out hunting and/or battle training. Before being promoted to warriors, apprentices have to undergo an assessment, usually catching prey, to prove whether or not they're ready to become warriors.

KIT As the name suggests, kits are kittens who have not been made into apprentices yet. Most often, they are under the age of six moons, though sometimes they are held back from being an apprentice for a certain amount of time due to severe injuries or misbehavior. Kits in JusticeClan may roam freely but are not allowed to step foot out of the camp unless accompanied by an older and trusted cat. It is every cat's responsibility to take care of kits, even if they aren't blood-related.

ELDERS An elder is a retired clan cat who is too old or not in suitable shape to continue with their duties. Elders are taken care of by the whole clan, and are given respect for the time they have served as part of the clan.

JusticeClan does not have a set healer, as every member of the clan is trained to have knowledge in herbs, minus kits. Apprentices of JusticeClan do not get assigned respective mentors, but they're instead trained by all warriors of JusticeClan. It is every cat's duty to guide and prepare the inexperienced.

note!!!!! image above is not entirely accurate since I have yet to design a lot of the characters obviously.... but also I'm not making these types of graphs ever again istg they're so tiring to do.

100 Witchcraft Tips in 100 Days!

Day 13 - Making Your Own Candles On a Budget

Witchcraft commercialism is a big problem I've noticed. Witchcraft has slowly started to become commercialized and it's detrimental to the people who can't afford it. Witchcraft doesn't have to be some expensive practice where you spend your life savings on supplies. Candles is one of the most accessible way of getting into witchcraft and over time can get very costly.

Collecting Your Wax

Whenever you burn down a candle there always tends to be some leftover wax. It might not be much but over time it slowly adds up and if you keep these leftovers you'll find you've built a solid collection. This collection usually is a blend of various colors, scents, and types of wax. You can combat this by organizing your scrap wax from the start by color, scent, or wax type. This will be the most budget friendly way of collecting wax. If you're lucky enough to own a beehive you have another wonderful method of collecting wax.

Making Your Wick

There are generally two main types of wick; wooden and standard. Most standard wicks are made of braided cotton which is good because it means we can easily make some ourselves. There are two materials you can make your budget wick out of. These materials are cotton yarn and twine and are easily accessible in bulk. In order to make a strong, well burning wick you're going to want to braid it or make a tight crochet chain. Once you've made a tight crochet chain or braided your fibers you'll want to stiffen your wicks. This can be done by filling a shallow pan with enough water to cover your wicks and adding 2-4 tablespoons of salt. You'll bring this mixture to a boil and allow all the salt to dissolve almost as if you're making a brine. Once the salt has dissolved turn off the heat and drop in your wicks allowing them to sit in this mixture for 5-10 minutes. Then using a spoon or tongs remove the wicks and place them somewhere safe and straighten them. Let them cool overnight and by morning you'll have plenty of wick.

Making Your Candle

You have your wax, you have your wicks, now it's time to make your candle. First you're going to want to choose your container or mold. You'll need to consider factors like size, how easy it will be to add the wick, and if it's temperature sensitive. Ideally you'll want something relatively small that's easy to set up the wick. For the budget witch this could simply be reusing old tealight candle containers. First you'll want to secure your wick to the bottom of the container. You can do this by melting some candle wax over the bottom and letting it solidify then draping it across a chopstick, popsicle stick, or other object placed across the top of your container or mold. Then fill a shallow pan halfway full of water and bring it to a boil. Place a smaller bowl in the boiling water and add your leftover wax. Make sure as your wax is melting that you stir it so the wax is evenly heated. Once your wax is melted feel free to add any herbs or scents that you'd like to include in your candle. Then carefully pour it into your prepared containers or molds and allow it to set and cure. The cure times vary between wax types. If using paraffin wax allow your candle to set for 24-48 hours. For soy wax allow your candles to set for 3-4 days. Once set trim your wick a quarter to a half inch above the top of the wax. With that your candle should be done and ready for your next ritual or spell.

Hi, sorry it’s me again (mpreg anon), and if you don’t feel comfortable talking about it I completely understand! But I can’t stop thinking about pregnant!silver!simm!master. Does he get pregnancy cravings? Nesting instinct? Is he changing out his clothes for maternity clothes??

Again, I am so very sorry

AN | Hello angel from my nightmares~ jkjk, I don't mind. Branding yourself Mpreg Anon for my memory is bold, it reminds me of Emoji anons, idk why I got that connection, I just woke up from a nap. Buggy, it's 3 am, I hear you say, I know. I meant to fix my sleep schedule because I fucked it up again. Body said 3-hour nap, and we are good to go again, after only sleeping 4 hours today. Anyway, I got some headcanons. You want some headcanons? added the taglist cause technically, sorry for the mention if this is once again not your thing.

TW | Mpreg

Pregnant!Silver!Simm!Master Headcanons

Cravings | Oh god, absolutely. The man is a menace. It's giving the time he was burning his energy in The End of Time; he is voracious. He is constantly hungry, and he is eating for two now, so he snacks continuously throughout the day, eats large meals, if he isn't sleeping, or scheming (But let's face it, he is snacking through that). He is snacking. It gets bad when he starts craving specific things, like this one specific wild mushroom and herb soup from Gallifrey, or some sort of cherry tart from across the galaxy. He will actively go seek the ingredients, time lines and such be damned. If he is stuck on Earth, this man eats unhealthy food, sometimes in weird combinations. Reader has bought so many Hot Crisps and tubs of ice cream. Spicy food is big for him, lots of spicy takeout. But then he complains about heart(s) burn, and an upset stomach. He also takes a lot of protein; his steaks are rare, rare rare, like he could bite into a cow and be happy about it. 

Nesting | Oh yeah, absolutely. It comes in two forms, actual nesting, like the bed is just a pile of blankets, pillows, one or two of reader's jackets, but don’t mention it because he will bite you. Then he goes through the other one, the cleaning EVERYTHING, in my opinion he isn’t messy to begin with, except his workshop, everything has a place and returns to said place, so the main bulk of his tardis is spotless, his workshop, that is a different story, and my mans has a panic about it. All those deadly toys and stuff, locked up, hell, the whole workshop is locked down. He converted a room into a nursery, it’s not typical baby decorations, he has an image after all, but there is a nice crib, everything is colored to his tastes, he is constantly organizing and reorganizing. Getting new things when he falls out of interest in what he has already bought. 

Clothing | He is PRESSED about having to get bigger clothing. He wears larger jackets to hide the bump until he can’t, and then he complains about it the entire time. As a joke, Reader got him one of those big pregnancy moomoos. Joke on, reader, that’s all he wears around the TARDIS. It’s this floral red thing that is so comfortable. He also has a pair of slippers he wears around the TARDIS. Towards the end of the pregnancy, he doesn’t leave; he got some maternity pants and stuff, but he doesn’t like how they look, and refuses to be in public in them. 

Gender | I want to say it’s a son, but it’s not, it’s a daughter, this man is a girl dad, and that is his curse. But it’s okay, because now he gets to dress her up in cute dresses, and he loves that.

Herbs to Hold Tanjiro x Reader Part 1

This is set after the entertainment district arc, adult Tanjiro, will be an 18+ series

╔═*✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*.·:·.✧-✦-✧.·:·.*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧*═╗

You brushed small bits of gravel and dirt that had gathered on your pants as you prepared to enter your shop. The construction outside is moving quickly but this means that it's kicking up a lot of debris. 

"I hope this doesn't affect the air quality too much, " you think to yourself.  "Not exactly great for patients. " You had worked really hard to get your practice out of the brothels and to your own brick and mortar location.  As much as this rebuilding effort was great for getting the entertainment district back on its feet, it also meant that your shop was in the thick of it.  

"I guess that's why it was so cheap, shoddily built but it's mine." Cracking your knuckles, you shift your load of supplies to your hip so that you could open the door. 

You didn't have any signage yet, but the girls you tended to at the pleasure houses could recognize the familiar pattern of your haori painted on the wall closest to the path. They promised to help spread the word as a thanks for being good to them these past couple of years.  

While not an oiran or performer, your name was somewhat familiar in this district.  You tended to those that needed it when a customer was too demanding, had ointments for chafed thighs,  could mix a decent concealer from plants and pigments. That alone was appreciated before the epic battle decimated a large portion of the area. Buildings were destroyed, livelihoods ended, and many were left injured. That night you ran through your supplies, and had to make do with quick mixes of herbs and whatever clean water you could get. A simple pain-relieving tea was all you could offer the later the night got. Praying to the gods that daylight would come and with it the chance to recoup your supplies. 

But that was months ago, and today was a different day. Today, you had returned from a market and your coin purse was much lighter than it was several days ago. The weight of your money carefully balanced on your hip in the form of better quality herbs, premade bases, and even a satchel of hard sweets that could be melted down to make more palatable medicines. Your legs were sore from the journey several towns over, you've been walking for days trying to get back in time to open this weekend.  

Since the entertainment district was still heavily recovering you had less customers that needed you easily available night after night.  You made sure to warn them in advance that you would be gone, and sold many small-jarred remedies of your most popular treatments. The coin that earned you was able to fund most of your trip, and only served to boost your confidence that you could truly have your own practice.

You were no doctor, you could not perform a major surgery or revert the impossible. But you knew your way around the body enough that you could fix most problems. You would learn more as you needed,  you would be able to help anyone who came through that door in search of you. 

You let warm hope fill your chest as you begin unpacking. You needed to preserve your goods in ways that were more shelf stable, and get them organized in time to truly start building your stock. Not only that, but one of the construction crews heard that you have a good muscle relaxer in the works and wanted to buy a bulk order for their team, they paid the material cost before you left. The rest of your payment would come in once they had picked it up from your store, that would be your first order of business after everything had been put in its proper place.

You had made it back early in the morning, but now the sun had turned a fiery orange as it began to move lower in the sky. The shadows cast from the window had been steadily creeping across the floor all day while you busied yourself. The process was peaceful but meditative. Carefully you unwrapped and rewrapped. You would reset your scale and weigh, moving things into delicate papers and tightened jars. Your writing was neat and precise as you labeled drawer after drawer, and container after container. Hard work paid off in the end, the sun was just beginning to set as you shut the last drawer in the wall.

A rumbling in your stomach warned you that skipping lunch was a bad idea, and that if you missed out on dinner there would be no energy left to continue your work.  Thankfully, some of the food stalls have reopened. You make your way out the door and towards the somewhat bustling streets. Lanterns were appearing more often on the walkways that lined your route, they were new and bright, and it brought a small smile to your lips. 

"Maybe things will go back to normal." Something catches your eye, pulling you from your nostalgia. There's a tuft of deep brown hair in front of you, burgundy tips catching light from the setting sun and lanterns. A checkered haori covers the back of the man you see across your path.  

"Kamado-san" you say in surprise. You don't realize you've spoken aloud until he turns to you. He smiles at you gently and you try to calm your beating heart. "Could he really hear me so far away?" He beckons you to come closer and turns back to reading the menu sign in front of him. "There's at least 3 stalls ahead of me, and even though the night is only just beginning there are plenty of people walking about and making noise."  

"Tanjiro Kamado, kanoe rank member of the demon slayer corps." You say before walking up to him. You remembered his introduction from those many moons ago. "What has you back in our district? Work or leisure?" A playful lilt in your voice, plenty of demon slayers come here to blow off steam, but you would never picture the respectable young man before you to be the type. Or maybe, you're hoping he's not the type. 

He's passing coins off to the worker in front of him, blood rushing to his cheeks. 

"Work!" The word is practically shouted and the coins threaten to fall as they exchange hands. 

"It is good to see you L/N-san, I am here for work.” His gentle eyes shifting to you, brows furrowing.

“There's word of a demon that may be coming this way with a strange power. Maybe you've heard something?"

Just the mention of demons is enough to make your skin crawl. Your nose crinkles instinctually. But you have heard of what he's asking about, you had already seen some of its work first hand. 

"I have. What do you already know?" You ask as you begin looking at the menu. Quickly, before he can answer you ask "What did you order?" 

"Kare rice." 

"Hmm." You place an order and hand over your yen. "Would you like to eat together? It is good to see you again, although it seems the circumstances aren't great." 

"I would like that very much L/N-san."

You both collect your meals and he follows you as you weave your way through a quickly growing crowd. 

"Another demon," you mutter. "I guess they go where the people go." Disgust is clear in your hushed tone. It surprised you to find out so many people did not know of the demons that have haunted the night. But many things surprise you these days, like the sudden appearance of the young man trailing behind you.

You were looking for a place to sit but had unknowingly walked back to your store front. Prior to this chance encounter you were dead set on coming back to eat and get straight to mixing that construction order.  

"My apologies Kamado-san. I had meant to find us a place to eat but it seems I cannot turn off my need to work. Your company would still be appreciated and we can discuss the reason for your return." You are embarrassed. The implication of a young man being anywhere alone with a woman in this district is obvious. "If you would be so inclined." You give a slight bow when you tack that on. In part to be respectful, but mostly to hint at your intentions being pure. 

"That sounds wonderful L/N-san, I hope it isn't too much of an intrusion." If Tanjiro thought you had intended to bring him here for anything other than dinner and conversation, he did not show it. He followed behind you with a respectable distance as you entered your shop. The drawers were much fuller now, and the smell of all those herbs had died down now that they were properly stored. 

"You know, you're the first to come in other than myself since we finished building." Pulling out two pillows from behind the counter as you talk. "Now, tell me more about what you've heard." You motion for him to sit after you've placed the pillows on either side of the small table at the center of the room. You both set your food at the table. 

He tells you that he had been nearby on a different mission when he got the assignment.  Apparently, a demon that had been frequenting nightlife areas escaped being slain several weeks ago. The Demon Slayer Corps have been tracking its activity as it seemed to only be growing stronger through its travel. 

"How it's been escaping daylight for so long between towns is unknown. But there have been strange accounts about how its victims had been taken." Tanjiro's cheek flush when he says this. And you know why. 

Several nights prior you saw the effects of that demon's power. You aren't sure what it was, but you've heard from the other healers of the area that it was an unpleasant experience. Over the course of his story you both had finished your dinners. You stand and make your way back to the counter. Pulling the herbs you would need to make the salves for tomorrow's order, you try to avoid eye contact with the demon slayer at your table. 

"So I have heard." And seen, but you are too embarrassed to say that. "I'll admit, it is a strange phenomenon. The other healers of this area were perplexed at the sudden influx of people to their doors. Our district is no stranger to aphrodisiacs or drugged folk. But this seems to be different." 

You both know how, but neither of you want to say it. Tanjiro is quiet as you fiddle with your scale, watching as you move dried flowers and bark out of their assigned drawers. You still cannot bring yourself to look at him, he is an attractive young man and you are both here alone. For no other reason than to converse. "There is no need to dance around it. You're both adults, he is here for work and you are offering information."

"Kamado-san, forgive me for being brash with my words. But it seems that the demon's powers are making people crave..." How do you word it delicately? You recollect your words between measurements. "It was one thing when young men were claiming to be drugged. Often drunk men would mix up their cups when spiking a drink. They'll pay heftily if you don't inform the house mother what they were intending to do. More if you convince them you won't tell their traveling buddies what an idiot they were. But what set off alarms to most of us is that the best performers and courtesans were afflicted as well. Even those that could not have been drugged. Some complaints were even from travelers. They all say the same thing." 

You move to grab your mortar and pestle, beginning to more finely grind the necessary ingredients. You glance at Tanjiro. His eyes are fixed on your hands, your movements stutter and he glances up at you. You hope the sudden flush in your cheeks isn't noticeable to him as you quickly look back to your work. 

"That they were in groups, and that there was always one person missing from the crowd. We've only lost 3 people that we know of. But no bodies had been found yet. Kamado-san." You set your pestle onto the counter. "Many people go missing at night here only to turn up later sunburnt from sleeping somewhere outside. Is this the work of a demon? Do you think those people could still be alive?"  You make eye contact with him as you ask the last question. He doesn't look hopeful and that alone puts a pit in your stomach. 

"I'm sorry L/N-san, it is incredibly unlikely. But I am here now to prevent any further loss. Is there anything else you've heard that you think could be helpful?" He looks regretful, but determined. His deep red eyes are staring right into the core of your being. The sincerity of his words are obvious. You want to believe him, and you do. As embarrassed as you are, you want to be honest with him if it would help. 

You empty the contents of your mortar into a larger bowl, adding clean water from jars, and other mixing agents. You begin to work it into a paste, something to keep you busy when you tell him what you know. 

"Several nights ago, before I left to gather these supplies, I had been at Ogimoto house tending to a regular patient of mine," Tanjiro's ears perk at the familiar name. "I was leaving the house when several people came rushing in. They were all saying the same story, and all of them were desperate to... find release."

Your meaning was not lost on the slayer. "What was the story?"

"That the air became sweet and thick, intolerably so. And that they all felt like fire was burning through them. Most of them were just undeniably lustful, and that was not a problem for the Ogimoto house. They rushed the high paying men off to courtesans and the high cost courtesans to deal with their desires alone. Everyone made full recoveries, the worst of it was dehydration from too much fluid loss and physical exertion. It took 2 days for the effects to wear off, but when asked about more details, they were able to say that someone had gone missing from their group. Sure enough, that person had not been seen by their inn or traveling partners. They were all close to the Ogimoto house, but still near some of the newer construction areas. I believe you'll find whatever you're searching for over there." 

You hadn't noticed, but while you were talking Tanjiro had cleared the table. "Thank you L/N-san for your help. It is good knowing where to look and what to look out for. The night is only just now settling in, I should head out now to get a good start." 

"I'm happy to be of use Kamado-san. Please be careful. If you need a place to rest there is a cot for you here." You grab a small jar filled with gel. "I got this on my journey, it's meant to be used as a base to mix salves with. I have a hunch that whatever those people were smelling must have been how they were afflicted. If you put this under your nose it may catch whatever it was and stop you from breathing it in as deeply." You walk over to Tanjiro and offer the jar to him, but he softly pushes your hand back to you. 

"I truly appreciate your offer, but I rely greatly on my sense of smell in battle. I promise to be careful, and I shall return here when the night is over. Save your supplies for your customers."  You nod, trying to hide the warmth that blooms in your chest as you turn back to your counter. 

“I’ll wait for your return tonight, if you do not come back, I’ll do my best to send you help.” He hums an affirmation you don’t really hear. You don’t look at the door as he leaves. Demon slaying was a dangerous job, you were no fool. If he didn’t return you didn’t want your last sight of him to be his back.

For years, the idea of food independence has conjured images of sprawling gardens, backyard chickens, and rows of home-canned goods. But let’s be real: not everyone has an acre of land—or even a backyard. Does that mean food independence is out of reach? Not by a long shot. In 2025, it’s time to rethink what food self-reliance looks like. Whether you’re in an apartment, a condo, or just don’t have the time or space for traditional homesteading, you can still build a pantry that’s resilient against supply chain hiccups, inflation, and shortages. Step 1: Maximize Shelf-Stable Staples You don’t need a garden to stock up on dry goods. Focus on building a pantry of essentials with long shelf lives. Stock Up On: - Rice, beans, and lentils - Oats, pasta, and flour - Shelf-stable milk and powdered eggs - Salt, sugar, and cooking oils Step 2: Canned Goods Are Your Friend Canning isn’t just for homesteaders. Commercially canned goods offer a long shelf life, convenience, and variety. Buy Smart: - Focus on vegetables, proteins (tuna, chicken), soups, and fruits - Check for sales and bulk-buy deals - Rotate stock and use older cans first Pro Tip: Don’t forget about canned butter, ghee, and shelf-stable cheese options. FIFO Countertop Mini Can Tracker Holds 30 Standard 10-24 Oz Can Sizes, White| Stackable & Adjustable Can Organizer for Pantry, USA Made, White - Mini Can Tracker: Keeps your kitchen organized by storing and rotating your canned goods on a First In First Out model saving you from expired food cost and waste - Can Organizer Easy Install: Ensures effortless installation saving you time and energy; Carefully sized dowels fit smoothly into the panels, giving your fridge or pantry a fresh new look; Made in the USA - Customizable Can Rack: Includes the following easy-fit dowels; 3 - A dowels (fits family soup cans), 6 - B dowels (fits chunky soup and fruit cans), 6 - C dowels (fits standard vegetable/soup cans) - Canned Food Organizer Capacity: Make room for up to 30 cans, preserving sodas, soups, and veggies in great harmony; Measures 16 inches long, 16 inches wide, 12 inches tall, and weighs 5 pounds - Expandable Food Storage: Expand your organized empire in your refrigerator, pantry, cupboards, and cabinets by adding panels, dowels, or even units for limitless growth $44.19 Buy on Amazon Step 3: Think Vertical—Indoor Gardening No backyard? No problem. Grow small-scale crops indoors with minimal space. Try These: - Herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro) on windowsills - Microgreens using shallow trays - Hydroponic kits for lettuce and greens Step 4: Store Water, Not Just Food Water is just as critical as food, and most urban preppers underestimate how much they’ll need. Store: - At least one gallon per person per day (for drinking and minimal hygiene) - Water filters and purification tablets as backup - Collapsible storage containers to maximize space Big Berkey Gravity-Fed Stainless Steel Countertop Water Filter System 2.25 Gallon with 2 Authentic Black Berkey Elements BB9-2 Filters - ENJOY GREAT-TASTING TAP WATER EVERY DAY AT HOME- The 2.25-gallon Big Berkey System can be used on a countertop in your kitchen or office to transform tap water into delicious drinking water that's also ideal for making your favorite beverages or cooking. - INDEPENDENT TESTING- Black Berkey Elements (the original BB9-2) are composed of a unique, proprietary blend of multiple media types backed by testing from accredited, third-party labs. Black Berkey Elements remove or dramatically reduce over 250+ typical contaminants that could be present in freshwater sources—no electricity, tools, or plumbing are required. - INCLUDES AUTHENTIC BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS (THE ORIGINAL BB9-2)- Don't fall for lookalike filters that use our Berkey BB9-2 model number or trademarks in their titles or product descriptions to legitimize their brand as replacements or "compatible", when they are not. Black Berkey Elements are designed to work synergistically and target specific contaminants that far exceed the reduction capabilities of black filters solely composed of activated carbon. - ECONOMICAL, LONG-LASTING- Black Berkey Elements provide filtered water for just pennies per gallon. Each pair of Black Berkey Elements lasts for up to 6,000 gallons before replacement is recommended. Elements may require replacement sooner based upon the quality of influent water. Each additional pair of Black Berkey Elements (sold separately) adds an additional 6,000 gallons of contaminant reduction. - THE GOLD STANDARD IN GRAVITY-FED WATER FILTRATION- Authentic Black Berkey Elements are capable of greater contaminant reduction and a longer lifespan than virtually any of the other filter elements on the market. Berkey systems are simple and easy to use and require no electricity, costly installation, or tools, providing economical, long-lasting water filtration for just pennies a gallon. $367.00 Buy on Amazon Step 5: Get Creative with Storage When space is tight, you have to think vertically and creatively. Ideas: - Under-bed bins for bulk goods - Overhead shelving in closets or garages - Stackable containers that maximize footprint Step 6: Plan for Rotation and Replenishment A pantry is only as good as its maintenance. Maintain It: - Label items with purchase and expiration dates - Create a simple inventory spreadsheet - Set reminders to rotate stock every few months Final Thoughts: You Don’t Need Land to Be Ready Food independence isn’t just for the rural prepper. It’s about mindset, strategy, and a commitment to self-reliance—no matter where you live. By focusing on shelf-stable essentials, clever storage, and a few innovative growing techniques, you can build a pantry that stands strong against whatever comes next. Related Reads: - The Sensible Prepper – Practical Advice for Tough Times - Survival Gear List – The Essentials You Shouldn’t Leave Without Finally, remember that food independence is an ongoing journey. Stay informed about food preservation techniques, explore new recipes using your stored items, and continuously adapt your strategies as your needs evolve. This proactive approach will help ensure that you remain prepared for any eventuality, no matter where you live. Moreover, engage with your community to share ideas, resources, and even trade goods. Building relationships with local farmers or joining community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs can enhance your food independence and introduce you to fresh, local options that may not be available in stores. Regular maintenance of your pantry is essential for ensuring that your food supply remains fresh and ready for use. Consider setting up a reminder system on your smartphone or calendar to help you keep track of your inventory and remind you when it's time to check on your supplies. When considering creative storage solutions, think beyond the conventional. Utilize space in your home creatively by incorporating multi-functional furniture that doubles as storage, such as ottomans or coffee tables with hidden compartments. Every bit of space counts when preparing for potential shortages or emergencies. Another critical aspect of water storage is the need for emergency preparedness. Storing water isn’t just about filling up containers; it’s also about ensuring you have access to clean, drinkable water during emergencies. Invest in high-quality water filtration systems and purification tablets to ensure your stored water remains safe for consumption over time. As you think vertically for indoor gardening, consider the benefits of LED grow lights. These lights can mimic sunlight, enabling you to grow plants indoors even when natural light is scarce. This technology allows for greater control over your indoor gardening environment and can significantly expand your growing options. In addition to canned goods, consider freeze-dried options. These products not only have an impressive shelf life but also retain more nutrients and flavor compared to traditional canned foods. They can be rehydrated and used in many recipes, making them a versatile addition to your pantry. When thinking about shelf-stable staples, it's beneficial to explore legumes beyond just basic beans and lentils. Incorporate a variety of dried beans—such as black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas—not only for their nutritional value but also for their versatility in a variety of dishes. Each type of legume can bring unique flavors and textures to your meals, enhancing your culinary repertoire. Consider urban gardening techniques that allow you to grow food in small spaces, such as vertical gardening or hydroponic systems. These innovations can transform a small apartment balcony into a lush, productive garden, yielding fresh vegetables and herbs all year round. In today's fast-paced world, the notion of achieving food independence takes on new dimensions. It's not just about self-sustaining your food source; it's about creating resilience in the face of global uncertainties. With the increasing volatility of food prices and supply chains, understanding how to prepare for the worst while still enjoying the best of what our urban environments have to offer is crucial.

Zero-Waste Kitchen Diaries

The idea behind Zero-Waste Kitchen Diaries is to reduce food waste, increase sustainability, and improve the green habits inside the kitchen. The book is meant for those who wish to help the environment by cooking at home, dining sustainably, and making convenient meal choices. In the following, I will explain ten important points that matter in this trend.

1. We make sure to cook every ingredient we have on hand: Cooking with no waste asks chefs to make use of broccoli stems, beet greens, citrus peels, and herb stems. Instead of throwing them away, people discover that you can make flavorful and healthy dishes from these small parts, including soups, sauces, stir-fries, and oils.

2. Creative Leftovers: Excess food is recycled, as it’s made into different meals. Chicken already cooked for Sunday lunch turns into delicious soup, and leftover rice is fried for a different dish. It allows you to save food and at the same time, enjoy different types of meals.

3. Home Composting: You should compost things like eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags, and fruit pits because they cannot be avoided in the kitchen. Putting organic waste in a small bin indoors or a compost pile outside turns it into beneficial soil for growing gardens or plants.

4. Make Essentials in Your Pantry: Commonly, a zero-waste kitchen includes items like self-made nut butter, broth from vegetables that were not used all at once, and sauces created from extra ripe produce. These allow you to make your own packaged foods, which lasts them longer.

5. Good Practices for Going to the Store: Making a list and shopping according to it will stop you from buying more food than necessary. When you get your produce loose and dry foods in bulk, you lower waste from packaging. Also, buying less cuts down on anything that might spoil and waste your money.

6. Sustainable Storage: You can wrap food using beeswax wraps, put it in glass containers, use silicone lids, and choose cloth produce bags instead. They save food better than plastic bags and support those who want to live plastic-free.

7. You can make a lot of food at once and store it for later by ‘batch cooking’ and ‘meal planning: Having a larger quantity of meals means you won’t have so much waste when using ingredients. In addition, it cuts down on wasted food, allows you to handle your time better, and helps you watch your portion sizes.

8. Checking your Fridge & Pantry: Checking the contents of the fridge means you won’t buy unnecessary items, use what you have first, and notice what may need to be used quickly.

9. Educational Content: It usually involves providing facts about food wastage, sharing ways to be eco-friendly, and giving useful tips. It makes more people mindful and interested in changing what they eat at home.

10. Community Engagement Through Zero-Waste Kitchen Diaries, people network, post about their experiences in the kitchen, and spur others to take part in this movement.
