You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

[theswisscheeserag]

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

[theswisscheeserag]

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

Seems legit

we all hear about kudzu being introduced as "erosion control" in the South but I don't think contemporary people understand on a gut level what that means

these are images from a 1930s pamphlet that endorsed kudzu, entitled "stop gullies: save your farm"

It was Bad.

Invasive plants need to be understood as part of a much larger cycle of incredible violence against the land.

[peat-moss-and-starlight]

For context: erosion on that scale occurred as a result of our clear-cutting entire states. The land east of the Mississippi used to be covered in old-growth forest to an extent that we literally can’t imagine anymore, because most of us have never seen a forest over 100 years old. It turns out if you remove all vegetation from a landscape, you end up with a bunch of loose soil ready to move downstream. A fast-growing plant that covers everything in dense vegetation sounds like salvation when you’re surrounded by 40-foot deep gullies that get wider with every rainstorm.

A lot of the south too was covered in Canebreaks, basically bamboo forests like a lot of South Asia, I don't know the specifics of the ecology, but bamboo being a grass I assume is rhizomatic like other grasses and forms a big net of roots that prevent erosion. *I assume* (pleez ecologists weigh in)

[headspace-hotel]

Yes, the destruction of Canebrakes was a direct cause of this erosion we see here. Canebrakes were destroyed, using slave labor, to make room for cotton plantations. You can read about it here.

Canebrakes built up incredibly rich, fertile soil and are amazing at preventing erosion. They form incredibly strong mats of rhizomes. And their roots are known to go 10 feet deep into the soil.

The erosion we see in these pictures was a result, very much directly, of the Canebrakes being destroyed.

[headspace-hotel]

This is a case study in how violence against ecosystems goes so closely hand in hand with violence against people. The violence against the indigenous caretakers of the land, and the violence against the enslaved captives that were forced to clear the Rivercane and work the cotton fields that would degrade the soil into nothing.

today's hebrew lesson is tohu wavohu—before creation, in the beginning, the earth is תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ (gen 1:2). the referent for this is "formless unforming," or, "weltering waste," "complete chaos," or, "nothingly nothing." gloomy, hole-y, god views the earth from his constellation in this nothingness. not vacuous but brimming, tohu wavohu refers to the ex nihilo (from nothingness) that creation blows. before the garden, before nakedness, ripe fruit, garments, or creeping crawling things, there is tohu wavohu. god is lonely for nothing in his tohu wavohu. he's curious, though; touching things and giving them loving form. there's this glutionous, virescere thoughtfulness that god keeps himself in, there, in his tohu. creation is never content, then—it's feeling before that

One of my favourite parts of Orthodox theology is that, not only does it say "no, non-Christians are not categorically damned" it follows that up with "and no, we're not citing a prooftext from the Scriptures or the Fathers for that, the only evidence we need for this is that God is good and loves mankind."
