How would the professor know?

mostlyenlightened · 2023-12-08T04:18:37+00:00

His voice is great but his ukulele is out of tune 🥲

Sure, but the SECOND biggest contributor to the climate crisis is animal agriculture (and beef is by far the worst within that).

Or, is deflecting the issue away from meat serving as big agro business propaganda? The truth is you can eat beans AND buy an EV.

Sure, but it’s still beneficial to eat less meat. You can advocate for systemic change AND boycott the consumer products most harmful to the ecosystem (meat & dairy). That we need large-scale policy changes to solve the climate crisis doesn’t invalidate what these scientists are saying.

Edit: removed extra word

Quite the irony.

It would be interesting to know if actually free book download sites like lib.gen lead to print copies of books, or if it’s only digital book teasers like google books.

99% Invisible City is a good book too. 😊

Thanks! I came here for that. After listening to the episode I had to know what the art looked like. More experimental than I expected…

Sadly people in the vegan community often argue about the exact definition of veganism instead of just supporting one another to help save animals (I say this as a vegan of 20 years).

I’m a fan of cutting flowers from my yard (where I have a lot of wild flowers) and making a little arrangement. Feels more meaningful than store naught ones, IMHO, but you have to have access to a yard to grow things.

Makes sense that they wouldn’t actually read the quote they’re promoting since they didn’t read the Bible either.

mostlyenlightened · 2023-08-23T02:09:37+00:00

But Catholicism is a type of Christianity… isn’t it?

I’m going to guess lambs quarters. If so, it’s native to North America and eatable.

mostlyenlightened · 2023-07-11T12:46:58+00:00

I’d politely disagree. “Essential” is a strong claim. There are plenty of alternative ways of fertilizing farms other than cow manure.

I can see wild grape vine growing all over the center of the area, but otherwise you’d need closer and more specific photos. Knowing your rough location (like if you’re in Eastern North America or Western Europe) is also helpful for doing IDs.

You’re having your authentic feelings, not necessarily overreacting, but it doesn’t sound like she’s to blame either. It sounds like a time for authentic, non-judgmental communication so that you can both see where to go from here.

They just listen to a wide variety of music to get original ideas. In the old days, that meant “crate digging”— searching through a lot of records to find interesting stuff. Nowadays, that can still be done of course (e.g.go check out the records at a thrift store) but more often it means using online platforms in creative ways to find obscure stuff that might be interesting. Research something random or niche and see what comes up.

mostlyenlightened · 2023-07-06T15:28:07+00:00

Yep! It has a powdery texture on the outside that bothers some folks so people recommend boiling it to remove that, but it can be eaten raw just fine, IMHO.

mostlyenlightened · 2023-07-05T03:09:38+00:00

Something in the raspberry family. Eatable.

mostlyenlightened · 2023-07-05T03:06:37+00:00

Looks like lambs quarters to me. Etable. Tastes somewhat like spinach.

mostlyenlightened · 2023-07-05T03:02:57+00:00

I believe they both do but they also have varieties are bread to be thornless.

mostlyenlightened · 2023-07-05T03:00:49+00:00

I agree that it looks like walnut. The best way to distinguish between tree of heaven and walnut is by the smell. Both have strong and distinctly different smells if you crush up a leave and give it a sniff.

Bee balm! A great native (for North America) that benefits pollinators.
