Why did no one tell me the cats in Warrior Cats are literally just fucking cats. Like shit in a box and chase lasers cats. Not a mystical magical species of intelligent felines from some other world.

They're just cats. Y'all gotta lead with this. I have the books on hold at the library now.

Gerudo town may have ruined Breath of the Wild for me

I've been so into breath of the wild lately. I've been getting deep into the roleplay aspect and tapping into my inner noble lady knight. Yeah, Link gets called he and sir, but that also happens to me all the time. I guess I kinda forgot at some point the character was written for cis men and not trans women.

I get to the Gerudo, immediately meet this beautiful woman, and she tells me I'm not allowed in because I have a dick. I was so deep in the immersion that I kept playing for a bit, literally just walked along the edge of the water and sulked. I feel more dysphoric than I have in literally years. I know people are gonna tell me buck up it's just a game, and I don't care. I'm gonna try to keep playing it because it's brought me so much joy. I have a horse named Collin that I love. I feed him apples.

Whenever someone calls me bro (I hate that) I respond by calling them sis. I think this works regardless of their gender

My mom collected forms of abuse like pokemon cards

When therapists give me an ACE test their computer lights up and whoops and says NEW HIGH SCORE

Me: "I got my hairs cut."

Brother: "Which- wait... You're not allowed to do that..."

The west wing is off limits by their royal magesty's decree, young master. You know this.

I stumbled and spiked both my phone and my THC cart into the concrete... They both lived...

Writing this down for the next time I feel like the universe hates me

I could totally take a vow of silence if I didn't think of such funny shit to say all the time

I won a game of frotnite, and I think I'm realizing I only ever win this game when I'm stoned. Just goes to show all those PSAs were wrong, drugs do make me better at video games.

I was sitting in my bedroom with someone fairly new to my life when my cat crawled into my lap. I scritched his chin and sang the little song I sing to him every day just out of habit.

Stolas is a baby who needs water

Stolas is a baby who eats food

Stolas is a baby who needs play time

Stolas is a baby who eats poop

The new person looked at me with wide eyes, and I said "It started out as a joke. The last line was originally 'makes poop.'"

That didn't make their reaction any better, but eventually I remembered that my cat is named after a character from an animated show. I'm not the one who named him, and I haven't seen much of the show. I just forget there's another Stolas sometimes.

So this person thought I was singing about that fuckable owl while I stroked my lap cat like some twink obsessed supervillain

This is Stolas btw

Beliefs of mine that have lost me family:

I'm a woman

All people deserve to live simply for being people

It's a tragedy that anyone with a terminal illness has to work a job

Beliefs that have lost me friends:

Anyone who says they are a lesbian is a lesbian. That's the definition

The psychological toll of a job should be included when determining hazard pay

Reproductive rights includes the right to make children

I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I try to keep compassion in mind when I do literally everything, and it feels like that drives people away. I would expect that to bring them in.

And it's not like I'm preaching. I only ever give my opinion when asked. Well, aside from posting online, but half the internet is unsolicited opinions. I don't expect to change anyone's mind, so why do they act like I'm demanding the highest virtue in everyone I meet? What is going on?

Pharmacy tech: "Name and date of birth?"

Me: "Deadname and birthday."

Tech: "What's your relationship to deadname?"

Me: "Uh, self?"

Tech: *visibly very confused* "Are you maybe his roommate, or... ?"

Me, still not used to being cis assuming: "Deadname is me. I am deadname. We are one. That's my legal name."

Tech: *still confused* "What meds do you need?"

Me: "Progesterone, spironolactone, and estrogen."

Tech: *visibly realizing* "Oh! Alright I can get those."

Dave Brandt was so much more than a meme. He partnered with universities to experiment with and expand soil conservation and cover crop techniques, worked to educate other farmers through worldwide conventions and direct mentorship, founded the Soil Health Academy, and was called the "Obi-Wan Kenobi of soil health" by the chief of the USDA's conservation department.

There is no healthy planet without healthy ag practices, and this guy was a legend.

The A-horizon on his farm was 4 feet deep

You do not understand

Most modern Ag operations don’t even have a proper A-Horizon. They’re too busy turning the earth every time they replant. The A-horizon is the Black Gold that makes Soil Soil. It’s a structurally complex soil horizon that must be built in place by the interactions of Plants and Fungi and Insects. It is The Thing that soaks up rain and holds onto it for plants. The A-Horizon is The Thing that builds up when you let a field sit fallow. The act of tilling creates fecundity by breaking up the A-horizon. On a really good Organic no-till farm you might find an A-horizon between 3-6 inches.

His A-horizon was 4 feet deep. 50 inches.

I-

I have no context. His farm was covered in a living skin thick enough for a child to stand in.

Gives me hope for what we could accomplish if we got our collective heads on straight, you know? Like. This was one guy. A brilliant man, who knew what he was up to, but. The thing about brilliant ideas is they can be shared.

50 inches. The mind reels.

This is so much more impressive than I can understand and comprehend and I would love to know more about A horizon

Do you love the color of the Soil?

Humus, or Humic Compounds, are a cryptic and poorly understood set of organic substances. As the final metabolic result of once-living things being digested first by macroscopic organisms, and then by microorganisms, they resist most forms of analysis, and have cryptic structures. A few that we have managed to isolate and study are the Humic & Fulvic Acids.

Humus has a number of remarkable tendencies. It is capable of retaining water far better than any raw mineral clay; it also retains electrically charged clay granules, which themselves retain mineral ions, all of which is essential to make a soil a high-quality resource for Plants to grow in.

A composter is a box that contains an environment that is conducive to the production of Humus, but the best way to produce it is in-place, by laying layers of organic material down over an unbroken earth and growing things out of that. The interaction of the plants rooting, the fungus weaving itself through everything, the bacteria and archaea metabolizing as they do, and inorganic weathering forces all combine to gradually build up the microscopic equivalent of a complex megastructure capable of retaining far more water, and containing far more nutrients, than any inorganic substrate.

This stuff is black gold. This is the stuff that determines whether or not a plot of land is going to be “productive.” The knowledge of how to make it, how to care for it, is an essential piece of wisdom that our civilization needs to remember.

Fortunately, folks seem to have the right response:

Farmers are more important to the continuity of civilization than administrators, no matter what the elitists say. This knowledge is important.

Exactly

Neurodivergent thought of the day:

I can't remember what was in my mouth last but I can taste it and I want more of it, so maybe if I go around collecting dishes I'll find it
