Intriguing that the child was buried in the Bishop’s garden. I believe the practice of not burying ‘demonic’ people on consecrated land goes back hundreds of years before this, but the Bishop’s garden? Makes me wonder if the bishop felt done sympathy …
Aren’t you worried you’re going to start attracting swingers with that thing in your window?
Oh man, I like lacto pickles and make them often, but I am balking at the idea of a fermented potato. They’re raw? Will you cook them before the salad? Are they good?! … and how does the vacuum packing work? Are they not still producing CO2?
Now draw a fire holding the woody species.
Oh, this is something I love doing IRL. Love getting in there and pruning and shaping until things have been restored. I love being the chance to rejuvenate a neglected apple tree over the course of a few years.
IRC the genetics don’t support that. It looks more like Polynesians originate from the area around Taiwan, sharing DNA with the indigenous Taiwanese. Again IRC there are some South American genes present in the Easter Island or Tahiti area, which seem to have been introduced pre-European contact. It’s tricky to tell though because there has been so much sharing of genetics since then. It looks like maybe some Polynesians went to South America one or a few times and returned.
Canada’s Brightest Ditch-Digger
Who’s this symbol for? Communist Freemasons?
Yeah, the sponge underside mushrooms are boletes, and I am not aware of any that are poisonous.
I’m no Dahlia expert, but I’m offer some thoughts.
Transplanting is a bit traumatic. Did you give it lots of water?
It’s interesting though because the leaves and the buds look pretty good (not water stressed).
It may just that it was a bit stressed and have to on that flower.
Is the flower stem damaged in any way?
Why would you want it near … … … anything?
What the fuck is wrong with us?
Oh man, this guy wrote a lot of hymns, many of my favorites! They’re singable and tuneful. I’ve seen his name so many times, and wondered about him. I learned he was Welsh, given his evident love of Welsh folk tunes and his last name.
So it’s Francophones, not Anglophones misgendering you?
I maintain that we have a battle of world views going on here. In some ways it’s about the myths we believe in. Most environmentalists believe in what I call the Hobbit Paradigm: we live in a beautiful garden, and if we grounded ourselves in relationships with our communities (including nature) we would have a good and sustainable life. Many technocentrists believe in what I call the Star Trek Paradigm: humans are limitlessly ingenious, technological solutions will save us, and Nature is viewed with an anthropocentric utilitarian ethic.
I do not believe in the Star Trek Paradigm. It’s hubris. I also don’t think it’s a very pragmatic paradigm. We live in a world we evolved to live in. Not worrying about this world because we think terraforming other planets and setting up space bases might be a possibility is not comprehending the Good or risk very well, IMHO.
I suppose a third paradigm is cold-blooded, individualist Realpolitik; It’s a dog eat dog world, fuck you, I’m just trying to get mine as hard as everyone else is. In this case Space Colonisation is just a beard to disguise a callous and usurious relationship to the beings is this world.
That makes the conflict one of story, of myth, which means no one will have their minds changed by facts. They’re belief systems. We need to expose those fundamentally short -sighted or selfish beliefs. We need to tell better stories, and expose the ridiculousness of the other stories.
No. Decanting is pouring, bit specifically not mixing.
Oh man, I think it’s the ‘e’ at the end of your name, which in a bunch of Romance languages would make it feminine. If it’s any consolation, solid men’s English names like ‘Lindsay’ and ‘Ashley’ are almost exclusively women’s names now for the same reason. (The “-y” or “-ie” marks a cutesy diminutive version, i.e. “bird” to “birdy”.)
I don’t think it’s the similarity to “Imane” (unless this is happening in your home culture) because I have never heard of that name before. However, I have seen “Imran” and I would have assumed that “Imrane” was the feminine version because of that ‘e’.
Wasn’t Imran Khan a famous cricketer?
Judith is a beefcake! She has a neck like a bull.
Interesting little experiment. I’m curious about the collapse parallels you see. Is it because you anticipate general food shortage, or increased governmental food rationing? One point the article made was that much of the poverty was due to government policy.
It’s other common name is the European Fat Dormouse.
I don’t see why the need to shame. Some of us like our dormice with some fat on them.
