why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Wait is this true?? We’ve just been actively lied to by anatomical diagrams this whole time?

[transgenderer]

this is true of pretty much all internal anatomy, because the real situation is sort of like if you stuffed a bunch of water balloons of different shapes, connected by tubes, into a bag, itd be really hard to tell whats going on! so you make things more orderly when you represent them, and the connections and lengths and stuff are correct. like the former image is what you get if you cut it out of someone's body and arrange it neatly (and also, if their system wasnt aberrant somehow, but most people's bodies are aberrant somehow. so what they show you is more of like an average of everyone's weird aberrations)

This also commonly comes to us from indigenous societies. Famously, the Iroquois and Cherokee native American cultures planted the Three Sisters (corn, beans, and squash). https://www.nal.usda.gov/collections/stories/three-sisters

The reason that monocultures are still prevalent for the Three Sisters is because co-planting requires manual harvesting. My question for the wheat/walnut example is if the same is true, or if industrial machinery can still be used for harvesting?

[alexseanchai]

One of these photos is using industrial machinery for harvesting wheat. It's obviously less efficient in terms of percentage of wheat harvested, since it can't get at any wheat too close to the trees. But even if they sacrifice ten percent of the wheat for that reason, ten percent of 1.4 is significantly less than forty percent of 1.0. Either that or the 1.4 yield already doesn't count that sacrificed wheat.

[elljayvee]

The form of polyculture in the pictures is called "alley cropping" and it's often done explicitly to allow machine harvest. If correctly spaced and managed it can be very efficient. You can alley crop certain kinds of raspberries in apple orchards, because the raspberries are an earlier crop and can be mown flat after harvest, allowing harvest of the apple trees (the raspberries are fine and will grow out again afterwards).

There's a lot of kinds of polyculture that work better with manual harvesting, of course. One I can think off offhand is the walnut - apple/apricot - currant - vegetable crop layering common in some parts of Central Asia for example, which is just too many layers for industrial harvesting equipment to cope with in its usual format. But alley cropping is very machine-friendly.

I will always see maned wolves as some kind of Avatar The Last Airbender hybrid animal. Fox-deer.

If a flaming old queen in a cape wants to kill off racists in power I say have at it

[astrid-goes-for-a-spin]

That wasn’t even his plan!! His plan was to make the senator a mutant, so he’d have to advocate for mutants or be destroyed by his own policy, and tbh. It’s the best villain plan I’ve ever seen. The goo was the plan unexpectedly failing. 9/10 only bc he was going to kill Rogue. Next time use someone willing to sacrifice herself for the cause, pls. No further notes

[official-megumin]

I like how his plan in like real world terms, was to turn desantis gay but instead he exploded

[tavina-writes]

like to charge reblog to cast tbh
