My Promise To Myself And The Land This Year Is To Aggressively Help Native Plants Reclaim The Barren

My promise to myself and the land this year is to aggressively help native plants reclaim the barren city scapes I have access to. I don’t care if it’s ripped up again six months later. I will try.

listen...Plants Are Free. an acorn will become a tree. Fallen leaves will become rich soil. The wild creatures and plants will come. You don't have to give them money.

I say this, not to deny that land, soil, seeds, and water are all made into commodities, but as a WAY OF RESISTANCE

The plants are your allies. They are fighting back every day, endlessly, clawing to return to the pavement and hard eroded ground, the abandoned lots and gravel piles left behind by the pointless and endless pursuit of profit. They are giving us seeds and nuts and acorns as gifts. The dandelions and blackberries are given to us freely by abandoned and neglected ground. Here, take this fruit and eat. Here, take these acorns and plant them. Here, take these leaves and protect and build the soil. Rest in my shade. Breathe my breath.

What do we do to survive the horrible machine, the wasteland, the all-devouring dragon? Listen to the plants. Observe them closely, learn their ways, and all of us, each of us, do the smallest things we can to be caretakers—grow and distribute the seeds, learn the names of trees and common wildflowers, protect the smallest patches of resistance in neglected corners of our neighborhoods. Take photos of any plant not planted by human hands, honoring the dignity of weeds. In the future, there will be no word for "gardener," because we will all be caretakers to whatever small or great extent we can.

I fuckin love it when animators give us DETAILS

Subtle things I found in Puss in Boots 2 that blew my fucking mind

When Puss is fighting the giant you can see Death in the crowd on the top left

You can also see him in this shot, also on the left between the two ladies

The fucking wildest one though gotta be this one where as the giant falls the shadow of his antlers along with the crowd make the subtle shape of a wolf head (they literally put 2 people with red clothes where his eyes would be)

Like Jesus Christ DreamWorks the amount of details in this movie is insane you literally have to scrub through the film to find details like this PLEASE go watch this movie

ok well im going to build a good future for myself whether i like it or not

Have horses, can confirm

I’m so angry for what they stole from their children. I’m angry for the lives they robbed.

YEAH BABEYYYYYY

Weevils! 🪲✨
