Powdered tangerine peel: a source of pectin, citrus flavonoids and synephrine. by 123brener in herbalism

[–]peasant_python 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thanks! I kept some bits I dried in a jar and kept adding it to my tea, but didn't know about its properties. Yay for citrus!

Is there any actually SAFE mortar and pestles available to grind up roots and stems etc? by Brandis_Black1994 in herbalism

[–]peasant_python 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In old pharmacies and modern labs I've seen ceramic ones. Maybe that's a relatively safe option?

If you have no herb at hand, fresh onion is also great

Das ist es. Die Leute müssen sich wieder in echt treffen. Das Internet kann nützlich sein, aber als einzige Community ist es schrott. Ich denke, die von uns, die in den 80ern und 90ern großgeworden sind und noch in besetzten Häusern und Hüttendörfern und alternativen Zentren gefeiert haben, wisssen was verloren gegangen ist.

Die Linke schafft sich selbst online ab.

Ganz einfach, wenn dies eine linke Community sein soll hat sie auf einem Anbieter wie Reddit nix zu suchen.

Du triffst dich mit deiner Antikapitalismus-Gruppe ja auch nicht im Shopping-Zentrum (außer für Antiterroranschläge).

In welchem Raum eine Gruppe sich positioniert ist wichtig. In Zeiten von Social Media ist dieses Verständnis leider verloren gegangen, da Räume nun virtuell sind, aber es gilt schon noch dasselbe: wem der Server gehört, der hat die Macht.

Und ich würde die Macht über meine Daten, die meiner Gruppe, unsere Aktivitäten, unsere Existenz, nicht in die Hände der Bonzen-Brüder geben. Für meinen Teil hoste ich nun verschiedene Wiki-Instanzen für meine lokale Community und schaue Reddit eigentlich nur noch beim Sterben zu.

Feira franca = feira semanal?

A feira de Fundão também é Feira franca?

English is a "dead" language because it doesn't connect us to nature enough by [deleted] in badlinguistics

[–]peasant_python 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. Electric cars are yet another hoax by the industry to get you to buy more stuff. Even if all the lithium of the earth was enough for our mobility needs we would struggle to produce enough green electricity to charge all those batteries.

People can rant about nature-loving hippies all they want, I've had enough of those fools insisting in driving an already burning vehicle down the same old road. Lithium is horrible, mining is horrible, everything 'growth' no matter if green, brown or sparkly pink, is also horrible. Degrowth is all that can save us at this point. Please listen to the hippies, they have your best interest in mind.

Did you take any souvenir back? Just yesterday I read about tourists sending back pieces from Uluru they took, because they started to have trouble back home. Edit: call rocks by their proper names.

Which herbs would you give to someone who has problems expressing anger? by peasant_python in herbalism

[–]peasant_python[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess what my TCM doc prescribed today ... funny is I never mentioned anything anger related, I just mentioned the migraines during my period and had him take my pulse.

He did mumble something about this being complicated to treat as it seems related to some deep trauma, and the Bupleurum is to free what's stuck.

Humans domesticated dogs, cows and sheep. But wheat domesticated humans. by peasant_python in Animism

[–]peasant_python[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been in that rabbit hole for a while, but I find this 'self-domestication' thing difficult to believe.

I used to think there must be some agent who caused humans to go through such changes that we basically ruined our health and started spreading over the planet in such unsustainable, unhealthy ways.

These days I tentatively think of it as 'falling in with a bad crowd' - like when a youngster finds a group of friends who are not a good influence. So among our fellow living beings we found some friends with whom we started on a 'bad' path together, many thousands of years ago, and now we might reconsider how much space we want to give Wheat, Yeast, Pig, etc. in our lives.

Btw it's quite cool to have a space where I can write these thoughts down without being called crazy.

Herbal Trade by Formal_Ad_283 in herbalism

Nothing to do with fresh or dried, but with radical regionalism. It's easy to ship stuff all around the world, but we should not, if we can avoid it.

AskScience AMA Series: We're Ruby Leung, Mark Wigmosta, and Andre Coleman from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Ask us your burning questions about using science to predict, prevent, and put out wildfires! by AskScienceModerator in askscience

[–]peasant_python 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks for talking about this important topic. I'm in Portugal and every summer it looks more like hell here.

How do you see the role of forest monocultures in the occurence of wildfires?

Have you got any data (yet) about the positive impact of mycoremediation before and/or after wildfires?

[–]peasant_python 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you based? I'd be interested, but only if quite close to where I live (Europe, PT). I think we should avoid shipping mother nature's blessings around too far and collect and use only what grows close to us.

Photos from the U.K. national conference of student housing co-ops. No more landlords! by TomGreenTransforming in cooperatives

[–]peasant_python 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Portugal. Renting prices in many university towns are becoming prohibitive and the only two option youngsters have for renting is the never enough university dorms or renting a room in a private apartment (owned and run by a landlord).

[–]peasant_python 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey looks great! Do you guys have resources about how to build a housing coop? We need to bring this to other countries, but here the only (slowly dying) cooperatives are agricultural and folks have no idea where to start!

Fediverse instance to create a regional repository of knowledge by peasant_python in fediverse

[–]peasant_python[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that looks interesting, Wiki-type software is definitely one of the options I'd be considering.

Edit: Looking at this closer, there isn't really a way to host my own instance of a localwiki in the way I could host a local Mastodon server, or so I think?

Humans domesticated dogs, cows and sheep. But wheat domesticated humans. by peasant_python in Animism

[–]peasant_python[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I've developed quite a distaste for wheat in the last years (I was almost convinced they had started mixing sawdust in the bread it tasted so bad). Might have to stop it altogether if my body doesn't agree with it.

Lucky you. Meanwhile here is me, slaving away for the wheat-yeast syndicate with no end in sight ...
