Hey, everybody I never do this, but I am seriously fucked right now.

I need about $800 to fix my car so that I can take my girlfriend and myself to our medical appointments. Get our daughter to school and our area is absolute crap for public transportation.

Anything anyone can send to help would be a life saver.

Mental Crop Rotation

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.

: A crucial part of crop rotation is that the field is let fallow sometimes. You plant what’s called a “cover crop”, which is something you don’t expect to harvest– it’s there for its roots to hold the soil in place, and often it’ll be what’s called a nitrogen-fixer, i.e. a plant that can pull nitrogen out of the air and fix it into the soil with its roots (but sometimes it won’t, sometimes it’s really just there to shelter the soil surface), and then you’ll till in that cover crop, or let the frost kill it and the stalks lie as mulch, and then you’ll rotate productive crops back into that field the next season.

It’s important, though, to understand that during the fallow period, no nutrients are removed from that ground, and nothing is expected of it. Whatever the land grows then, it keeps, and it gets tilled back in or decomposes in place, to return its energy to the earth.

We’re not allowed, in our current society, to just let our minds be fallow for a bit, to produce nothing for export, to make nothing that can be sold. But it’s part of good land stewardship, to give every field time when it doesn’t need to give you anything back.

So yes, grow and produce different things from time to time, rotate them around your mind and exercise different mental muscles, take different things from your creative processes, yes– but also, give yourself a fallow spell now and again, and let the field of your mind grow things for itself to keep, to break down and save for later.

i enjoy comparing the different ways that birds of prey attack. you've got eagles doing the classic lord of the skies, king of the air, death from above pose

and then you've got peregrine falcons who are just like "fuck it. tactical missile strike."

and then of course there are ospreys who do a biiiiiiiig stretch (lethal intent)

Obi-Wan: *watching a bunch of escaped initiates absolutely destroying a fountain and terrorizing Masters Windu and Tiin, turns to Anakin at his side* Are you gonna be part of the problem, or part of the solution?

Anakin: I plan on making this scenario look like it’s not a problem in comparison.

Obi-Wan: Great. You honor my teachings. Love that for us. Fuck. Master was right.

Anakin: About what? You being too feral to raise a kid?

Obi-Wan: You’ve been talking to his ghost too much.

Anakin: He told me where to find your baby pictures. You bit a lot of people at my age. I can do worse.

the thing about the godawful "pluto will always be a planet IN MY HEART UnU" narrative is. why does this hypothetical anthropomorphic Pluto want to be a planet

like if i'd never fit in with all the other planets no matter how hard i tried and then someone finally realized "hey! its not fair to hold you to the standards of something you aren't! we know what you are now! we understand you better, you never have to be labeled as something you're not again!" that would be like the happiest ending possible

like science isn't nostalgia its constantly changing as we learn more and more about how the universe works, and change isn't always bad

but also like i fail to see how this is sad for pluto

Anakin: *trying to bond with Cody* Uh… he’s a ten, but he’s toxic.

Cody: Nah. Too much drama. Gotta go.

Anakin: But what if he’s got a nice ass?

Cody: *slowly turning to look directly at General Kenobi’s ass* …I could put up with it for a little bit, but I still might kill him.

Anakin: :/ hmmm… Padme actually gave that same answer when Bail asked. That’s why I wanted to know what you’d say.

Cody: She’s an icon for that reason and that reason alone. Practical.

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

OP this is EXCELLENT

Now THAT’S a self care resource! If you’ve gotten distracted by capitalism’s appropriation of “self-care” and watering the meaning down to nothing this is a super helpful guide to cut through the bullshit.

I’m doing well in some areas, OK in some, overall - could be better, but not bad. That’s ONLY because I DON’T WORK ANYMORE. In most jobs I had in Canada things like “nothing is way too much”, “negotiate/advocate for my needs”, “set limits” etc. was impossible. Even the “comfortable space”, LOL, one time we were so crammed that I barely could move my chair to sit on it; my last venerable employer put me into a closet-sized space with no window or ventilation, because my office was needed for a consultant on a Very Important Project, who, btw, quit in the middle of it and probably also showed them the finger.

I quit a few jobs that I couldn’t stand, but not everyone is free to do it. IMO most of the irremediable stress is caused by work conditions. Fucking Capitalism North-American edition is, in most things, inhuman.
