"Is it bourgeois to go outside?"

This is a primo example of "not all discourse is worth engaging in." Sometimes because it's someone trolling and baiting you into wasting your energy, sometimes because it's just fucking stupid

There's something to be said about access to outdoor spaces but this is not a circumstance where everyone is operating on even remotely the same level of understanding of what the real issues are

Republicans getting bird flu to own the libs.

Before I knew better I was one of the 1% of people regularly consuming into raw dairy. The local cow share gave the cows an excellent environment, and it tasted so much better that it made grocery store milk seem thin and sour. Skimming the cream off the top, or shaking the milk to reincorporate it, was a great experience.

Now I know that the taste was primarily higher fat and nutrition from well kept cows, and the milk being unhomogenized. Pasteurization doesn't ruin the milk, it just makes it safer.

We all know Google is garbage and getting worse but putting the unholy menace that is Kentucky Bluegrass as a search result under native grasses? Go die

This is your friendly reminder to check your state or county's noxious weed list. Thanks to revisiting that site, I realized that there was not only bindweed in my yard, (a Class C noxious weed,) but perennial sowthistle and CHEATGRASS (aka, the Devil)

This is pretty much ENTIRELY bindweed and cheatgrass.

I'm gonna solarize the fuck out of this shit. Absolutely incinerated

I think about this a lot, and I think there's a lot of really great workarounds for transportation that don't rely on cars.

Something I saw a lot when I lived in the city is people using wagons to walk home with groceries. Simple, easy, effective, and it can be applied to many other things.

Ignore the fact that we're probably never going to be 100% rid of cars, and moving companies with moving vans will still probably exist many years into the future.
Yeah, hauling a sofa is going to be harder with a bike. But it might not be hard if you take it apart (my preferred way to move furniture in the first place) and grab a couple heavy duty wagons.
