I am a hobbyist artist, but I do like to do commissions when I can! I’ll probably mostly post my art on here, but I’ll probably end up engaging with a lot more.

  • Also important to note that it was aristocrats that started and perpetrated the war to begin with. They weren’t just opportunistically jumping in to get their piece, but were the cause of the conflict to begin with. They didn’t want to be beholden to the crown, when they could just make their own country that they could design from the ground up to be exploitable.

    The war was unpopular, attrition was high, and Washington was a blowhard. He killed more of his own soldiers than the British did. He was a drunkard and mediocre commander and only ended up winning because the French did most of the work for them.



  • I think we should go harder into mycoculture and Insectivory. We can grow mushrooms or other fungus on our plant waste like wood, paper, and food scraps. We can also feed soldier flies, grubs, ants, termites or grasshoppers on farm and food waste.

    Insects and fungi are also WAY more efficient than mammals like cows, or reptiles like birds. And they can both use waste material from agriculture without using up resources that we ourselves could use for ourselves. Fungi can be grown in the pitch black, so that reduces energy consumption. Many insects can be grown in far denser populations that like cows or chickens, and they don’t have nearly the same level of consciousness (that we know of) as cows or other mammals. So, even if we are still killing them, its arguably less unethical.

    On top of that, consumption of insects has way lower risk of disease. Salmonella, worms, prions, etc. You can get those and others from mammals and birds, but insects are so different from us that it’s a lot safer for the most part. That being said, there might still be some risk we haven’t identified yet.
