i was about to joke about how my political stance is “end lawnmower culture” but then it occurred to me that i actually Am against lawns as suburban status symbols and wastes of land that Could be used to sustain native flora & fauna and grow food for people, but no, instead they are these huge useless swaths of land that need Constant maintenance, the process of which is not only destructive, but Incredibly Loud

[turtletot43-deactivated20180723]

You know that actually is the purpose of a lawn? They started as a trend of the French monarchy - the ones revolutionaries beheaded for being self indulgent assholes.

It exists purely as a status symbol that says, “I have land but I don’t have to use it for anything productive. I can invest time, money and resources in maintaining an entirely useless crop on land I’m not farming just because it looks pretty.”

Lawns offend me.

Why have that stunted golf course in front of your suburban house if you can’t even water it? Get one of these instead.

Pro tiny house, anti grass lawn. Prioritize practicality.

This is actually really interesting because back in the 1950s and 60s in Australia when we started getting large waves of Southern European migrants one thing the Italians and others would often so is buy a little suburban home, then tear out the ornamental flower beds and lawn and useless trees and plant fruits, vegetables, grapes and even olives. It was considered completely scandalous by their Anglo-Saxon neighbours because lawn was considered an aspirational thing and the ideal was to go from not needing a kitchen garden and having an ornamental garden to show how well you were doing.

I have always wondered why on earth people in poor neighbourhoods in the US don’t grow vegetables in their “garden”… They have nothing there, there are no places nearby to buy good vegetables and in most of the US the weather would make it very easy to maintain. 

Any family in Russia has a vegetable garden to have good quality vegetables during winter and here in Spain and other places in Europe it is now fashionable to grow vegetables in your terrace or with some neighbours… If I had a house like that, I would grow the hell of a vegetable garden!

[headspace-hotel]

Many do in rural areas where poor people actually own land, outside city limits where you can’t be fined or punished for it.

But gardening has a reputation for being very difficult, and l suspect the reason is this: a turfgrass lawn is incredibly destructive to the soil. It creates compacted, concrete-like dirt with a dusty mineral odor instead of the lush, alive smell of real topsoil.

Raking and landfilling leaves is additionally destructive; it steals away nutrients that would be returned to the soil and causes the ground to starve over time.

People try to till up a patch of grass that’s been lawn for decades and when they can’t grow anything, they blame gardening as a concept.

Gonna chime in and bring up the HOA point again. Where we live now was considered ‘country’ 15 years ago, but we still had an HOA. The small trailer park neighborhood next door even adopted an HOA about 4 years ago. Saw a woman from that neighborhood be forced to surrender her chickens. Chickens she had raised over many years because some schmuck worried about ‘home values’ decided livestock needed to be prohibited.

We can educate people about ecology, gardening, animal husbandry, and everything else. Until we protect peoples rights to engage in agriculture it’s a moot point. As I told our HOA board, agriculture is a right not a privilege. (After I lied about having chickens)

[headspace-hotel]

So much of this stuff goes back to how HOA’s are Satan, but I don’t even know how to begin to deal with that. It seems like they shouldn’t even be legal.

Biggest indicator of US decline: You could buy 6 BigMacs with 1 hour of minimum wage in 1980, but today you can't even buy one, despite minimum wage more than doubling.

It's over.

My second to last semester comes to a close (technically I have one more final but that’s honestly the least of my worries). I am so fucking ready to have a last semester where I am going to be straight chilling. If I end up dropping my minor I will literally only have class on Wednesdays and Fridays, with the Friday class being online and being only half a semester long. 

If you’re wondering why I’m dropping my minor, it’s because I no longer need it, because your boy has a guaranteed job after graduation. Well, I should say “guaranteed” because I still have to wait on my government clearance. Oh yea, going to be making cool shit that goes to space. More on that later, but just wanted to make note of it here for now.
