This is one of the nicer earthships that I've seen. It's very well-maintained and has a great indoor garden that's full of fruit trees. The 2021 Tres Piedras, NM home has 2bds, 1ba, 1,850sqft. Asking $529k.

Very nice, neat entrance.

The "hall" and inner garden is lovely.

The garden is well-maintained. Usually, they have become neglected when owners start losing interest.

These must be the fruit plants that they refer to in the listing.

This wall is typically open to the main living area and walls are up in front of the bedrooms.

Double doors open to a lovely living room.

And, a large kitchen combo.

Next down the hall, there's this pretty bedroom.

And, the 2nd bedroom. This ship has walls and doors for the bedrooms. Some don't.

And, this is the bathroom. Very nice.

Neatly done, it's not as lumpy as some I've seen.

A nice wall and a piece of art.

I think that this is a neat little earthship.

This is a solar water heater.

1.79 acre lot.

Looks like a neighbor down the road, but basically it looks like a barren wasteland.

Appears to be a colony of homes down on the right. Now, w/all the talk about UFOs, this looks like the perfect place for them to land.

Seeing the large-scale patterns in how plant species are distributed across the landscape is nuts because it highlights how we manage land according to Concepts, and create technology for managing land according to Concepts, and we have words for certain types of environments and not others

Like, in my area, out of our plants that grow here, there is a certain group of plants that Exists in Forests, and another group that Exists in Lawns, and another group that Exists in Pastures, and depending on certain factors like how far upland it is and the soil pH, you can get a pretty good sense of what you're going to see and you can find environments like that over and over again, with similar combinations of plants.

And then there are plants that are absolute wildcards, that don't consistently exist anywhere because their habitats are only ever created accidentally. Powerline cuts, abandoned stretches of land, roadsides that are intermittently maintained, patches of land with complicated histories of being used for this and that and the other, disturbed and neglected in various ways.

Like in the eastern USA we have concept "forest" and we have concept "field/pasture" and then there is Land Used By People (mowed by heavy machinery) but probably like 1/2 of our plant biodiversity straight up can't live in forests of the density and lack of disturbance that Eastern forests have, but also can't live in the socially acknowledge categories of "useful" land that we have, so you find them in these random ass places that are like, A Ditch Between A Railroad Track And A Poorly Maintained Public Park or Field Where There Used To Be Horses But Now People Ride ATV's There

Forever I am trying to figure out how to tell people that there aren't, like, places that are "Nature" and places that are "Not Nature," there's just, a range of socially constructed ideas about what kinds of Places exist and machines and constructions built to enforce those criteria.

When say "i hate lawns" yes I hate the convention of having huge swaths of empty invasive grass but even more I hate the way our (?) brains have gotten accustomed to seeing stretches of short turf grass as being...just, what space between two things looks like.

It's like in between buildings there is Space and that space is No Place and most people can't even see it or notice it.

Like, when you start to actually pay attention to what is covering the surface area of the ground in shopping centers, parks, industrial areas, roadsides, there are countless square miles of space planted with invasive turfgrass and maintained with a lawn mower and they are completely unnoticed and unacknowledged.

Two buildings can be "next to each other" but there is a 30 yards walk between them and the fact that the land walked over in those 30 yards is, in fact, land, does not occur to people at all.
