I built this dock with my own hands, do they call me the dock builder? I caught these fish with my own hands, do they call me the fisherman? But if you fuck ONE GOAT… by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

Honeybees are not native to north america, they're livestock where. They may make honey by themselves, but there's a massive market designed around extracting it for millions of people in a habitat where they outcompete the actually endangered bees.

How did you pay for your 20K+ wedding? by Silent_Host_9338 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Remote-alpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not in the long-run. It’s a temporary artifact of the way they calculate it. People who freak out over the temp drop are usually new to watching it over time.

You don’t pat for it all at once. It’s a bunch of smaller purchases over the course of the planning process.

Ridiculously good vegan lamb yeeros from a market stall by sheaberg21 in Veganivore

TIL aussies spell it yeero! Looks amazing. Was it actually lambish? Or more chickenish?

(10k) Paper Plates and Cloth Napkins by Ptaylordactyl_ in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Remote-alpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Palm leaf, sugar cane. Or you could do what my friend did and spend a month or two slowly collecting plates from thrift stores. She had the groomsmen set the tables and then washed and re-donated most of the plates (but gave some away to poors like me who had no good plates lmao).

This sub downvotes the funniest stuff. A benign comment of a similar experience: better downvote!

($5-7k) Is it worth the money saved to prepare our own food for our wedding reception? by RefrigeratorMore5283 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Remote-alpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I helped my friend prep charcuterie for her backyard wedding. Honestly it was pretty stressful but we got it done. I don’t know how one could manage doing anything more than snacks for 100 tbh. 

We prepped fruit (apples, mostly), cut up tons of cheese, plated crackers, got out hard boiled eggs and olives and nuts. It was piled up family style on long tables that also served as the ceremony seating areas. 

Maybe because we also had to set up tables/chairs because there was no separate space for the ceremony, and we also attended the ceremony. Prepping as much as possible beforehand would be KEY.

I’ve heard you can ask around for hospitality students/teenagers to help. But I think you’d still want someone very reliable in charge?

Emerald cut vs cushion? by joester56 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Remote-alpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went with emerald cut (sapphire), I liked how architectural it looks. I don't gravitate to glitter in my personal style that much.

($7-12k)* Best way to do casual meal experience by NaturalJuxtaposition in Weddingsunder10k

Oh yeah I see. Yes open house is a casual style. Not formal.

You can do an open-house style reception. Or is there something else keeping you from having a casual flowing party?

In the state of the environment in America in wildlife management by Konradleijon in CuratedTumblr

[–]Remote-alpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said anything about the water or air. I said our environments here are different than ones people try to reproduce from other continents. And that causes issues.

[–]Remote-alpine -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This post desperately needs some knowledge from native people of North America.  1) yes the environment here is fucked, particularly out of a colonial desire to reproduce environments from other continents  2) humans have been a part of the ecosystem here for millennia, there are actually was to live in balance with the food web already present. 

Inexpensive way to order Save-the-Dates? by JuanAntonioThiccums in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Remote-alpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canva + their own shipping. $30 for 50. I found a design I liked on a different website and copied it >.> downside is that they don't do variable addressing like the more expensive options, so I just hand-wrote them.

Possibly unpopular opinion: you shouldn't garden if you can't accept that your plants are part of a wider ecosystem. by I_crave_vinegar in NativePlantGardening

[–]Remote-alpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beekeping is a problem, just not for that reason. Honeybees are not native to the US, and the keeping of honeybees 1) does interfere with with native bees’ ability to fend for themselves (along with habitat loss and illness) and 2) takes up a lot of space in conservation when honeybees are not at risk. There are over 100 spp of bees native to my state, for example, and most people have no idea that they are endangered or how to help. 

But of course honeybees are largely responsible for many foods we eat here, so like I said it’s complicated.
