belly of the beast

[quoms]

you’re not a capitalist. a capitalist is a person who owns or manages capital. the word for a person who neither owns nor manages capital but who believes in capitalism is ‘sucker’

@patatuszine For many years now my sister, Xayara, and I have dreamed of putting together a magazine. A magazine that is inclusive of all colors, body types, gender identities, and sexual orientations. A multimedia magazine where people could share their opinions, poetry, research, music, comics, paintings, videos, or whatever one could come up with. We are two vigilant and compassionate Chicanxs seeking to create a haven for expression and a place to share resources. Patatus (pah-tah-toos) translates to a dizzy spell. “Casi me dio un patatus” our mother would say when she was startled, meaning she almost fainted from the fright. The word always lingered in my mind, and I figured it would be an apt name for this endeavor. Now is the time to connect with each other and let out some steam and discuss difficult topics and laugh and cry (and maybe scare some people.) So, we are asking if you have anything you would like to share please send in submissions to the page tagged below. There is no deadline as we hope to release a new zine every few months. Our plan (for now) is to make pdf and printed zines, as well as post content on Instagram, facebook, tumblr, and youtube. I should note that this is a labor of love and completely diy. If anybody is interested in helping us admin, please hit us up!

Just Announced! Psilocybe @ Cianfano’s Bar in Elizabeth, NJ - May 31st

[taavot-deactivated20170404]

remember being little and thinking dandelions were fun or a pretty color or something and every adult in an 80 mile radius wouldn’t let you say that without screaming ITS A WEED

[rabbittrabbitt]

also like:

dandelions are edible, easy to grow, and are rich in vitamins a, c, k, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, manganese, and potassium

dandelions can be made into wine, tea, soft drinks, and a coffee substitute

they are used in herbal remedies to treat liver and digestive problems and as a diuretic

they’re good for bees!

they make good companion plants for various herbs and tomatoes; their long taproot helps bring up nutrients in the soil and they release ethylene gas which ripens fruit

dandelions secrete latex which means they can be used to make natural rubber 

they make great flower crowns 

[mszombi]

Why ARE they considered a weed? They’re a good flower? Who decided they were bad? =(

[kittyknowsthings]

You can also make beautiful jelly from the blossoms!

[systlin]

They’re considered weeds because they were a poor person resource and not having them was a status symbol.

Let’s back up.

In Europe dating back to the 1500’s and even earlier, you could only have immaculate manicured lawns if you had just pots of money and were able to own land. So, rich nobility had swaths of land, and they demonstrated their wealth and power by hiring people to physically cut the grass and keep their gardens and dig weeds out of the turf by hand. It was a demonstration of money and power. It said “I can afford to have eight people employed full time just to dig things that aren’t grass out of my grass. I can afford to have all of this land doing nothing. It’s not producing food. People don’t farm it or live on it. I can afford to just grow grass, and have someone tend to that wholly useless crop.”

Fast forward a few hundred years. Europeans come to America. Many of them are from the poorer classes in Europe. Many have never owned land before, and now all of a sudden they can (because they stole it from the Native Americans but that’s a whole other rant.)

Now, at first you see little cottage gardens like the lower classes in Europe always had around their homes; places where they grew food and herbs and kept chickens or other livestock. Dandelions were welcome here; they were eaten and brewed into wine and used for medicine, just as they’d been for centuries.

But then people start making a little money, and we have the whole phenomenon of people who can demonstrate that they are Moving Up In The World by buying all of their food and medicine, just like the old landed gentry back in the Old Country. So they do. What goes in the place of those cottage gardens? Why, the same thing that went in the place of productive land back in the Earl of Chatsworth’s front lawn; a lawn.

So. Dandelions were a symbol. They were a throwback to the old days. They were a sign that you were somehow less prosperous than your neighbors, or lazier. (A Mortal Sin in America.) But, many Americans work, and can’t afford to hire a gardener just to grub dandelions out of the yard with a trowel all day.

Enter the lawn care industry, which began to market a dizzying array of poisons and fertilizers aimed at making your lawn a sterile moonscape where only grass grew with minimum effort from the homeowner. This continues to this day and is a multibillion dollar industry that has huge negative impacts on the environment and human health, but we can’t seem to shake that old ideal of a manicured lawn.

We pour water on deserts and poison on native wildflowers to attain it. We expose our children to poisons. We poison pollinators and pets. The days where we recognized a well kept lawn as a symbol of aristocratic leisure are gone, but we’ve been successfully fed a lie that some dandelions and chickweed are Bad by the lawn care industry in their ads for decades. They, obviously, want to keep it going because they’re making fat $$$$$$$ off of us.

THAT’S why dandelions are viewed as weeds.

Also yeah dandelions are really good for bees, and beloved by native bees and honeybees alike. So please, leave them blooming!! You can support bees and do your bit to smash capitalistic exploitation of the working class and the environment all in one go!

I want you to know that it is not always easy to love me. That sometimes my chest is a field full of landmines, and where you went last night, you can’t go tomorrow. There is no manual, there is no road map, no help line you can call; my body does not come with instructions, and sometimes even I don’t know what to do with it. This cannot be easy. But still, you touch me anyway.

Ivan E. Coyote  (via thequotejournals)

[wordsnquotes]

When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.

How I got out of my abusive marriage

Trigger Warning: Graphic Violence

I was born in Southern Mexico, part of a distinctive ethnic group. We have many peculiarities. Among them is the lack of a word for “lady”. We don’t need that word because, in our culture, a girl becomes a woman as soon as she gets married.
