大したことしない日記197（巨木ランド） 今度はトウヒとジャングルの巨木の植林地を作りました。足場を作ると、木の高さが制限されるようなので、最小限のサイズでエレベーターを作りました。登って収穫してね！のんびりするスペースもあるよ。

"The Land of Giant Tree " I built the woodlot of spruce and jungle trees. You can cut woods. There is a lounge space.

Autumn Splendour

[kihaku-gato]

The internet / social media really is getting super exhausting and really is just making everyone more stressed and angrier and angrier huh

[glitchlight]

just to add onto the feeling goin round at the moment: i dont particularly care if you find love in a very special jesus, just for queers! made out of broken glass and deer skulls, angel corpses and sour candy! I think a measure of peace goes a long way, and if faith in any form grants that, I find good in it. but dont expect me to be impressed by the empty symbols of your moodboard theology.

Fort Salem Witching Hour S3E4 makes a very good point that Sterling has been a part of Blanton Silver's staff for at least 14 years or more (since at least when Penelope was 4, and she has to be 18 or older to be conscripted). Possibly, he was hand-picked by Silver himself rather than simply assigned, which doesn't make any sense if Silver hated witches the entire time. While M apparently had a cover that could be blown when on Wade's detail, that was within the context of the Camarilla having already returned. It feels much more unlikely that the military would be able to predict that a particular politician would ascend to the vice presidency and have an agent live a non-witch alias for over a decade. If the military didn't believe in the return of the Camarilla until a year ago, why would they have sent an agent to spy on a rando politician 14 years ago? Further supporting this is that Sterling himself spent all those years in Silver's company and still genuinely believed that Silver was a good man as of 2x9. Are we to believe that Sterling was that bad a judge of character? So, Silver should be characterized in fic in the mold of someone who was radicalized only relatively recently. Note that Penelope was born well into the Spree era, so if it was the Spree, it was only because of the grind of the Spree era lasting for so long. Even more notably, the radicalization has to be recent enough that Sterling never met Hearst before he entered Fort Salem as a part of the TV crew to inject Penelope. Neither did Sterling know Kara Brandt. So, evidently Silver never met with those two in Sterling's presence in the 14 years Sterling was on his detail. Nor was Silver's behavior with Sterling such that Sterling would have reason to believe that Silver was secretly meeting with people while avoiding Sterling's observation.

BOTD: Pileated Woodpecker

Photo: Robin Horn

"A big, dashing bird with a flaming crest, the largest woodpecker in North America (except the Ivory-bill, which is almost certainly extinct). Excavating deep into rotten wood to get at the nests of carpenter ants, the Pileated leaves characteristic rectangular holes in dead trees. This species became rare in eastern North America with clearing of forests in centuries past, but has gradually increased in numbers again since about the beginning of the 20th century. Where unmolested, it even lives in parks and woodlots around the edges of large cities."

When she left, she wept a great deal; she said to me, "This parting must be endured, Sappho. I go unwillingly."

"all the violet tiaras, braided rosebuds, dill and crocus twined around your young neck"

"myrrh poured on your head"

"and on soft mats girls with all that they most wished for beside them"

"while no voices chanted choruses without ours, no woodlot bloomed in spring without song..."

Permaculture is one of those things which....ugh, I don't know. On the one hand y'all are talking sense in a world that's mostly still excited about gardening and farming techniques that actively damage the world. On the other, damn, you can sure be pretentious about it.

I'm watching a video, and she's like, "I'm assuming you're invested enough in permaculture that you know about the 12 Principles and the 5 Zones" and I'm like....no? So I look it up, and the 5 Zones thing is just, "Put stuff you interact with more closer to your center of operations." Sincerely, that's all it is.

I already did that, bro. That was common sense. It's great that you've got a system and that you've broken "common sense" down into teachable directives, but you're out here acting like "put greens and herbs and chickens near the house and pasture and woodlots and things you don't have to interact with daily further away" is the Ten Commandments or something.

I can't express my discomfort totally clearly yet, but at some point your teaching tools actually become shibboleths of the permie in-group and barriers to outside understanding, when it is sometimes very easy to express these concepts in a way that's readily accessible to most people with any experience with gardening or farming at all.

大したことしない日記201（アカシアとサクラの植林場） アカシアとサクラの植林場を作りました。サクラの植林場は初めて。結構な暴れん坊で、面白いです。とりあえず、アカシアと同じ条件（３つおき、10ブロック上に制限ブロックを設置）にしたら、ちゃんと全部の場所で生えたので、まぁ大丈夫でしょ。ピンクの木材って面白いですな。

"The Woodlot of Acacia and Cherry Trees" I built the woodlot of acacia and cherry trees. I built cherry tree's one for the first time. It's funny because it's unpredictable. I placed the saplings every 3 blocks, and lanterns 10 blocks above. Cherry planks are cool!

Cruising down the back roads in rolling hill country, headed to a particular bridge on a particular stream winding its way through the woodlots and corn fields.

Windows down and baseball on the radio, doing the swoopy hand thing out the window in front red barns and chewing cows.

Eventually, we gear up and slip into the creek. Like going home again.

That was a fine summer. Here's to many more.

A writer’s guide to forests: woodlands made by man

Forests are for the most part, the realm of nature. But what about those with a less than natural origin? Here are some woodlands that are shaped artificially.

Parks and gardens- Trees look nice, there’s no denying it. As long as there have been people who admire trees, there have been gardens and parks. Grassy meadows, neatly trimmed hedges and flower beds may get all the attention, but an accenting grove, or a rambling woodland always adds to the aesthetic. Wealthy aristocrats would import trees from far away places, while more modest landowners and public spaces grow native species. Though the results do look quite natural, they are nonetheless human creations.

Orchard- Fruit and nut bearing trees have always been favored as a reliable source of food. And so people since nearly the beginning of agriculture have been planting orchards to provide for them. Trees are planted in rows, evenly spaced apart for the ease of harvesting. Smaller orchards, those catering to families who pick their own fruit, and those that grow fairly delicate fruits still do the harvesting by hand, while many more rely on machines to do the heavy lifting.

Tree farm/ plantation- Many trees types cultivated are deciduous species, but there are some instances when conifers are preferred. Being relatively fast growing, and usually possessing a single, straight trunk, they are the ideal tree type for use as lumber and paper products. Of course, one cannot forget the need every November and December for Christmas trees.

Palm plantation- The tropics are ideal for growing oil palms. Thousands of acres are devoted to the tree, as so much of our food and other products these days relies on palm oil. This is not a good thing as the demand means that vast areas of rainforest have had to be cleared. In Indonesia, the problem is particularly evident, as the growth of palm plantations is one of the main factors behind the decline of orangutan numbers.

Coconut grove- Almost anywhere you go in the tropics will have coconut palms. Buoyant, the nut floats easily on the currents, and where it is too isolated for a coconut to reach naturally (such as Hawaii), people have brought it with them. As well as the coconuts, the palms themsevles are also used; palm fronds can be used for roofing, and the fibers are used in weaving.

Bonsai forest- The art of growing miniature trees has been practiced for centuries. Some trees are collected in the wild, harsh natural conditions causing the trees to grow slowly and stay small, but many more are shaped over many years. While many bonsai are grown singularly, groves and forests are also popular choices. These can be either monospecific, or mixed, and can be part of a larger landscape creation that includes rocks, water, and figures.

There are plenty of examples of forest areas that are man-made. Don’t feel like you have to confine your story to a natural woodland. Use what you find around you to inspire the setting and drive your characters and the plot. What happens on the earth can easily be applied to science fiction or fantasy. Put your own spin on it (maybe your characters are small and live in a bonsai forest…of course they could also be normal sized people who happen to be in a giant sized bonsai planting).

Edit: As pointed out in the comments/reblogs, I seemed to have forgotten woodlots, so I am going to include those.

Woodlot- Common areas open to members of the community include a mixture of open pastureland and forested areas. People would have their flocks and herds forage here in spring and summer, whilst they managed and harvested the trees. Trees in woodlots would not be felled, instead the branches would be cut back and allowed to regrow. The resulting growth produces straight branches that are used in constructing walls, fences, as well as firewood and charcoal. (Communal pastures and woodlots are not really thought of these days, as many areas were lost over the years due to industrialization, urbanization, and the enclosure of land by the aristocracy)

Dating Remus Lupin headcannons?

d a t i n g r e m u s l u p i n

fandom- Harry Potter

pairing(s)- remus lupin

a/n: im so sorry it took so long, my questions are flooded and im trying my best but regardless my requests are open luvs :)

so this is actually kind of based on a boy i liked (like) and i can't say its been as happy as this but that's where i found a bit of my inspiration for this and its honestly sad but eh

requested- yes

warnings- there is a bit of insecurities and doubt showing

remus lupin was the bravest bitch of them all but when it comes to you? you wish

he would help someone burry a body without even knowing their middle name but noo, can't go sit with you in charms, pathetic

this boy isn't the type to let everyone know abt his little crush but then again james and sirius would find out immediately cause he's not very good at keeping this secret

before you guys even started talking its just staring at you in the hallways or passing by you asking sirius if you looked oml

but he wont even hold eye contact

he would acknowledge the marauders sitting next to him but he had smthn better to look at

his favourite things to do is simp for you and suffer

"i worship her" lupin agenda

remus blushing is my favourite sight to see

he has the most hypnotizing eyes ahh

he would have the sluttiest tattoos

him putting his hands around you when you talk to someone he dislikes <3

he woodlot be as touchy but deffo gonna lean on you or have his arms around you

he would give dirtiest looks

possessive lupin all the way

i'm a huge advocate of remus john lupin being the bitch who does not need or want your approval and actively support it

i feel like he would have anger issues and his cussing would be off the roof but its maintained around you

you could control him by giving him chocolate

shifting would be another thing, he wouldn't let you near him as a werewolf but you're all he wants before and after

he's pretty insecure about his scars but yk its hot

tbh personally he'd be chaotic and a little loopy but he always has his best interests lined for you

and he makes a show of what and who his priorities are
