i hate that concerns about urban gardening/foraging safety is often met with "What are you, a cop?" scorn. I believe it's a suspicion of anything that hinders the punk/anti-system urgency to jump in immediately and do whatever feels right.

Safety, ethics, and sustainability are all a part of urban gardening and foraging. I'm sorry that means you need to do homework before you can do anything, I know that sounds lame. But life is complicated.

I know anti-intellectualism is viewed as activist these days, but like, surely you don't want to literally eat lead, right?

Let’s check in and see how those rascally solarpunk kids are doing, surely they’ve learned by now that…..

I am convinced that if the world was good and righteous and not racist, all the Hozier fangirlies would be aaaaaall over Jeremy Dutcher. I feel like they have very similar vocal styles, though JD is a bit more classical and Hozier more bluesy. Of course, Hozier has the lyrics in English and at least half of JD’s music is in Wolastoqiyik so it’s a hard sell. BUT unlike Hozier, Jeremy Dutcher is actually queer—specifically Two-Spirit! And he looks like THIS:

Recommended songs to start with: Mehcinut, There I Wander, Honor Song

Note that only his second album, Motewolonuwok, has English language songs; the first album is entirely his reworkings of old recorded songs in Wolastoqiyik

This is Mehcinut, probably his most famous/popular song from the first album where he took old archival recordings of Wolastoqiyik songs and turned them into duets between him and the original singer
