Once you become familiar with agroecology it becomes so so so infuriating how agriculture is being done the overwhelming majority of the time.

[abtl]

Like. Hey. Genetic diversity is good, that way your crops are less likely to be completely fulminated by disease in one clean cut. Like. Hey. Agrotoxins are bad not just because they poison people and groundwater and kill non target species in droves but because they also fuck the plant's nutrition over. Like. Hey. Monocultures are bad. Full stop. Either rotate your shit properly or arrange a stratified consortium with plants that agree with each other.

[abtl]

Mulch is your truest and most stalwart friend. Have faith in her.

[abtl]

I now realise I'm sounding like that one XKCD comic with the geologists and quartz.

[abtl]

Also for FUCK sake adapt your varieties TO the local climate, NOT the other way around. Semideserts aren't bad. They're arable. Just learn how the ecosystem works and plant things that can bear it, mimicking its structure. Drought is relative. Cacti are your friends. They are living water reservoirs.

[abtl]

"Weeds" are your friends. They're pioneers. Soil UN-fuckers. By identifying what species you can VERY reliably guess the acidity, rain frequency, fertility, and compactness of the soil, among other things. Also those things are UNDERSTUDIED. COME ON. THEY HAVE POTENTIAL.

[abtl]

And sometimes? The only reason invasive species get the upper hand is because the soil is WAY too fucked for the natives. You can actually use this to your advantage. Plant what grows, return the organic matter to the bloody soil, and once it's UN-fucked enough, THEN you plant more demanding natives.

[abtl]

Quick tutorial with beetle! (Paraphrasing Ana Primavesi) - How to create HELLHOLES. 1 - Get rid of ALL the organic matter. No plants. No mulch. Nothing. 2 - Make sure the wind can blow freely. Dry wind will suck up moisture from the earth like NOTHING else. 3 - If possible, water frequently. This will make clay seep down and create a hard-pan + salinate the soil. Now do the exact opposite. Boom.

[abtl]

(Exclusive to the tropics) DONNNNNNN'T FUCKING TILL THE SOIL. DON'T. As SOON as it rains the soil will get even more fucked than before. DO NOT FUCKING CALCIFY THE SOIL. YES ALUMINIUM IS TOXIC. IT IS ALSO AN ESSENTIAL AGGREGATE. USE ORGANIC MATTER. COVER it. Mulch. Mulch. Mulch. Green manure. Cover cropping. Mulch. Insulate it. Insulate it. INSULATE IT.

[abtl]

Diseases and pests are your FRIENDS. Let me explain. They only happen when something's wrong. Nutrient deficiencies, most usually. Sometimes it's because they're in an agroecosystem not appropriate to the species/aren't paired with the right plants. Identifying what causes what is KEY to stopping it FAR more thoroughly than any pesticide could. They are not the disease. They are a symptom.

[abtl]

Sometimes there's no grand cause. Sometimes it might just be because a pipe burst on your property or something.

[abtl]

STRATA. Plants like growing in "floors". In each other's shade. Even Pliny the Elder figured it out when looking at how things were grown in Carthage.

[abtl]

Why am I going on and on and on and on and on about the mulch Ad Mother Fucking Nihilum? One - aforementioned point. Insulation. Two - help your other friends, the soil critters. Bacteria, fungi, and microfauna WILL make your soil As Soily As Soil Can Be! FEED THEM. FEED THEM. FEED THEM. FEED THEM. E S P E C I A L L Y down here in the tropics where decomposition and nutrient recycling is going on at Mach Yes.

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE

A Guide from Chicago Organizers

https://crimethinc.com/StandUptoICE

Are masked agents stalking your town, looking to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start?

This guide is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during “Operation Midway Blitz.”

As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices.

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

[the-supernatural-atheist]

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

[makaeru]

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

[marzipanandminutiae]

this is exactly why I love talking about historical passive heating and cooling techniques

oh wow the glass-tower office buildings we constructed when we thought air conditioning and central heating would never have downsides...have downsides?

and we're still building them?

while the Victorian house museum where I work, with thick walls and small windows and big wooden shutters stays ~10 degrees above (winter) or below (summer) the outside temperature for days on end with no help at all?

uh. okay then

(also public transit. the history of public transit in the US is infuriating, because we had it! and then we destroyed it!)

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that

Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today
