Naw fam, it’s speciest as hell to put human feelings before animal lives.

So glad to not see that shit spammed here.

1. Been really enjoying Doechii
2. I think I first had tofu as a vegetarian, but that was in the late 90s and was a teen with little exposure to non-western food. Tofu was available in most grocery stores but I did have to go to the health food store for any sort of “substitute” that’s wasn’t soymilk lol.

Once my Forsythia bloom it’s over for this seasonal depression.

Hello fell clay soil haver! I think I’ve had a total of 3 dump trucks of wood chips over the years and we’ll do at least two more this summer. My traps will be so strong!

It’s that time of winter where I’m like, “It’ll never be green again!”. But I also need to buy seeds soon to start…

1. We did hot pot for new years and that was tasty! It’s a nice special occasion meal.
2. Pottery! Picking up our glazed pieces and 40 more lbs of clay today lol.

Glad you are taking care of yourself, friend.

I look forward to posting my slop on the pixelfed 💖

I renewed my library card today because of this thread 💖

Thanks for all you do bud

Audiobooks are great! My partner gets audiobooks from the library and really enjoys listening while doing chores.

Last week I read a volume of a report related to the design of a new wastewater treatment plant. The report was 30 years old, so it’s not new, but one of my favorite things to do is untangle the history of industrial sites and map how they have changed over time.

It’s so interesting to map how laws changed over time because a lot of these rules exist only in site specific documents (there was no real blanket minimum treatment level until 2015-ish). I info dumped in the Vegan Home Cooks discord about sewers and the topic steered towards why we “allow” microplastics to enter the water. This stuff is so fascinating albeit depressing as hell that we pollute so much.

Oh my god how will we ever recover from the rejection of a nationalist?

It is the weirdest cope by people living in the imperial core for their own lack of democracy and power in their own communities across the US, Canada and Europe to blame him and Russia for everything. The blame lies on the fascist consolidation of power over the past 80 years that destroyed all the leftist movements across the Global North not propaganda since 2016.

I guess I am old now because I am shaking my head at (some) kids these days lol. It might not be very anarchist of me, but it would be super cool if they read some history/theory 🫠

It’s important for me to clarify that I am constantly blown away by how the youth are making changes for the better. When I look at the mainstream and not just my tiny bubble of weirdos I am delighted to see a wider range of gender expression and also a focus on mental wellness.

What a fun idea!

I’m sorry to hear the internet is being shit

The last concert I went to was Movements. My husband is a fan, so we went. I had a nice time.

I don’t know if I have a favorite genre. I think I can find music I like in most genres so long as I’m in the right mood tbh. I recently went to a training where this was the icebreaker and I did the most stereotypical neurodivergent 1000 yard stare and then I think answered industrial. I like music that gives me good brain chemicals.

You’re a champ!

I hope you will share your homebrew experiments it sounds super coo!

Hell yeah for the month without ethanol! You rule!

1. Which fields of science are you particularly fascinated by, and can you tell us a niche or exciting tidbit relating to it?

I feel like I make people regret asking this type of question because I will NOT SHUT UP. I work in wastewater and it’s the most fascinating, expansive, exciting, problem-riddled field out there (to me). I am already late for work so I will just drop this baddie:

That thing that’s pulsing in the middle? That’s it’s MF-ing JAW. This fascinating creature CHEWS. I love them.

2. What is your favourite vegetable(s)?

I prefer fruits in general, but I love brassicas. Choys especially.
