no joke when i publish a book I'm dedicating it to every dog on earth

this is a hill I'd die on

Honestly they've done so much for the cultural zeitgeist w/ next to zero acknowledgement of that contribution,

if we want more modern Black theories, we gotta keep the cultivators alive

I'm starting to teach my teenage nieces how to do hard actual research like, books, film, proper archives and newspapers- alla that bc online sources are trash.+ it's my personal belief that Black and Ntv children should be told not to trust any interpretation of our sources from colonizer mouths

All these years later I’m still incensed that that lady killed Selena.

she coulda united us all like the Avatar

whhhaaaa? that's fucking devious.

sucks when people sip on the anti-Blackness juice.

frfr i feel like even in the Black community that name was retired cause we loved that girl... Yolanda is now a granny name

left: The sepals now visible, petals are turning pink. Stigma cloose to maturity and viability at this point. Still very cold hardy. Right: in all its glory, the dark-purple-pink petals are now fully extended, revealing the sanctum sanctorum of the flower; the stigma and pistils. Note the green stigmas are ripe and ready for pollen, yet the flower's own pollen-producing pistils are still tightly bound and white (the orb-like structure in the middle). This prevents self-pollination. The flower is no longer frost-hardy at this point. Here two stages are present, ripe pollen (right) and greenbud (left). Note ripe white pollen grains inside flower on right. Photo taken April 10 at author's grove in Louisville, KY In this final stage, the pollen shed stage, the stigmas are no longer viable and not able to receive pollen, and the pistils are now full of ripe pollen. See the whitish pollen grains? This is what you collect for hand-pollination. The petals will often start to brown or appear wilted at this stage

hey kid..... wanna see how to pollinate a pawpaw?

"Psalm for the Wild Built" by Becky Chambers has convinced me I've missed my true futurist vocation... being a wandering Tea Monk.

changed my @ to OtterRambles

Craftivism also offers a more inclusive forum for communal participation for elders, the introverted and disabled comrades.
Generally when a Maker is supported their family and community get that money more directly.
Like in the case of many Native or Black folk, its jewelry makers/bakers/cooks

the 70s folk art revival movement is an example of people trying to revitalize culture through Heritage arts... which includes social gatherings and passing of knowledge on.
anyways i could go on forever about domestic artisanship being undervalued.

societal enshittification isn't just about Ai, though Ai is the most detrimental product of this era's capitalism.
part of the issue has always been the US/American need to pursue quantity over quality.

casual reminder: be kind to makers, artists and crafts people.
we set our prices to survive, rarely make above ends meet + our side hustles are just that.

very few of us get to just "make" to survive.

I hope that everyone who spent 2025 misgendering, erasing, marginalizing and generally being assholes to trans people are having the 2026 they deserve.

"a business built on theft is not a business, it’s a scam.

…So-called AI—which is not intelligent at all—is being shoved into everything,&makes nothing better (quite the reverse)…you have the nerve to presume we should all put up with every outrage, with every act of destruction, with every theft."
