Indigenous cultural practices are a climate solution, report finds

Indigenous lands are crucial for climate mitigation and resilience. Research shows their health is a direct result of Indigenous stewardship

While this isn't news to anyone who works in this space, it is useful to have this water-is-wet research to affirm that Indigenous knowledge and land management are extremely effective at storing carbon and protecting biodiversity.

I want to draw special attention to this part of the article:

New research shows that approach overlooks the key role that Indigenous knowledge and culture can play in mitigating climate change. It also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated. Nothing could be further from the truth. The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them.

I'm actually bringing this back around to say another important thing.

I get a fair number of asks and comments on my posts expressing sentiments like "human beings are a plague on this Earth", "humans ruin everything, we deserve to be wiped out", "humanity is inherently selfish, evil, and irredeemable".

I don't think the folks saying these things have bad intentions, I know their words come from a place of very understandable pain, fear, and anger. But to act as though humanity's impact on nature is inherently damaging and extractive is to erase thousands of years of Indigenous stewardship of nature. These ecosystems are thriving because there are humans living there.

This is your regular reminder that you don't need to feel guilty for being a human. You are part of nature--viewing humans as inherently separate from the rest of nature is actually part of the problem. You will be so much better served redirecting that guilt into supporting the humans who are helping nature or resisting those who are hurting it.

New video in which I do 2 different pants drafts, mock them up & fit them, and alter them into useable fall front patterns. One's more loosely fitted with a narrow fall, and one's tighter with a broadfall. They're for everyday wear, so are not meant to be any specific kind of historical.

I made plenty of mistakes, but they still turned out fine. It's an hour and 8 minutes. I have 2 other partially finished videos at the moment, but patrons voted for this one to be finished next, so now it is.

Here are both of the pantses from the two patterns I made.

These are wearable mockups of the final designs, and they both needed some tweaking. The brownish pair needed the under-fall adjusted to the narrow edge of the placket wouldn't show, and the greenish pair was too long and needed the hems shortened a bit. (I did both of those alterations in the video.)

One would think it'd be common courtesy to not leave comments that boil down to "haha your butt is really big", but just in case it needs to be said, have some goddamn manners and don't do that. I will block you.

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still
