I remember when I was younger, anytime I watched a movie where the characters have to kill a scary monster/alien, I always thought the act of killing it was intended to be part of the horror. Like there’s this amazing creature that we’ve never seen before, and maybe under different circumstances we could’ve coexisted with it, but it’s trying to attack you and you have to defend yourself, but by destroying it you also destroy the ability to ever understand it and that’s sad and is supposed to make you feel conflicted.

It was not until well into my adulthood that I realized most people do not have complicated feelings about movies where people have to kill a scary alien monster, nor is that necessarily meant to be part of the narrative (unless it very obviously is). They just want the scary thing to die because it’s scary. I don’t have a real conclusion to this I just started thinking about it for some reason.

I always felt I couldn't possibly be upset about dying to an alien monster because proof of otherwordly life is exactly what it'd take for me to die happy

Thinking about this. So many people in the US are adult children

If you were going to start a garden to prepare for the apocalypse, what would you plant? Housemates and I decided that was a better use of our anxiety than playing zombie games and I don’t have anyone else to ask.

1. Potatoes. Best starch and caloric yield per acre of just about any food.

2. Tomatoes. Easy to can or dry, tasty, high in nutrients.

3. Corn, beans, and squash, planted Three Sisters style. All are nutritious, and planted this way the beans put back into the soil the nitrogen the corn uses. If you plant dent or flour corn and dry beans and sun-dry the squash, all store well. 

4. Mint. It’s useful for minor aches and pains in salve, it’s good for upset stomachs, and it’s quite tasty.

5. Hot peppers. Tasty, and also useful for aches and pains.

6. An assortment of herbs for both seasoning and medicinal use.

Also great: 7. Lettuce. Easy, jummy. The types that grow as leaves (as opposed o full heads of lettuce) can regrow every few weeks. Fresh veggies all the time.

8. Radishes. Same reason. Regrows in a few weeks. How perfect is that.

9. Strawberries. If the climate is right for it. Easy and jummy. Strawberry plants can live multiple years (though they give less fruit after the first 3 years) and create their own baby-plants in fall. So you can have more strawberry plants every year or give the plants to other zombie-apocalypse survivors.

10. Winter carrots. Your winter will be boring if you only have potatoes. Carrots are a great winter veggie. 

11. Onion and garlic. Because you really can’t cook without them, can you?

Oh, & maybe just as important is what NOT to grow or the apocalypse or just for your first DIY garden:

1. Cauliflower. Difficult. Requires a lot of work, time, space and nutrients and you’re quite likely to end up empty handed.

2. Broccoli. Same reason.

3. Olives. The trees need to be over 5 years old to produce their first olive and many more for a good harvest. That’s not much use for immediate survival.

4. Walnuts. These trees take 15+ years to start giving nuts! Don’t plant em unless it’s for your kids.

Strawberries (and most berries/small fruit in general) will probably be snatched up by squirrels and birds before you can get to them unless you take proper precautions. They make nets and various deterrents for this, but the easiest option if it’s available is just to grow them inside

People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greater Santa Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.

You see this?

That's not a river. That's the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).

This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.

Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.

below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930's of one branch of Phoenix's canal systems:

Also have the "Montezuma Castle," if you need a castle:

I don't need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.

[dingodad]

the bit about the Crocker family tradition of taxidermying dead relatives always kind of stuck out to me as a weird oddity considering all the implication suggests it originated with Meenah, a troll, and a notable point is made that trolls do not care at all for the bodies of their dead. and then it clicked for me very recently that it's Meenah who tries to preserve her friends' souls by killing them during the scratch, and it's Meenah who keeps attempting to resurrect the troll race after their extinction even when she's given another planet to rule over entirely. attempting to preserve what she's lost is literally a specific character quirk of Meenah's

[sea-mists]

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
