Since Its Been Almost A Month Since Ive Posted Anything Original (oops!) I Figured That Id Share Some

since it’s been almost a month since i’ve posted anything original (oops!) I figured that i’d share some solarpunk shenanigans that i’ve been up to lately…

- i finally cancelled my Amazon Prime! for ethical reasons i’ve minimized my Amazon usage for at least a year, and i’ve been on an “Amazon fast” since December of last year. i don’t want to give jeff bezos another dollar… ever!!

- it’s almost the start of the foraging season in earnest here in the PNW, so i’m brushing up on my existing knowledge and checking out many (so many) books from my local library so that when the weather finally clears up i’ll be ready!!!

- i’ve also been working on expanding my knowledge and skill set for living a more sustainable life! for example, if i buy a whole chicken and break it down, i have enough food for ten (!!!!) meals for my partner and i, with a minimal amount of plastic waste (the wrapper). this means that i can also afford to buy better-quality and more sustainable meats, since the dollar-per-meal cost is so low! the next thing i need to work on is making more of my own snacks, Trader Joe’s single-use-plastic-packaged yet delicious novelty snacks will be my downfall…

and here’s the first cherry blossom of the year!!!

Guy who’s only seen beauty in the mundane looking at any object: getting a lot of beauty and wonder vibes from this…

hate when folk call the Sun “our nearest star” no you dweebs that’s OUR STAR! After everything she's done for you and you want to compare her to some lightyears away ass nobody called some shit like Guncho 785B? We're not spinning eternally around any old ball, we’re three deep in the window on board the Sol Train and she did NOT provide the catering, the itinerary and all the fuel to share credit with some two-bit Proxima Centauri hack. point to these nuts in a constellation while you're at it. i love the sun

straight up if you went back in time and gave anomalacaris a double cheeseburger it would be enjoying it so decadantly like taking small bites and savoring the rich flavor and kinda blushing and looking at you when it thinks youre not looking

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."
