When my cacti bloomed last fall I did a little cross pollination project and got a few seed pods, and just recently they started changing colour.

If anyone has any advice about what to do now it would be very appreciated!!

I don’t generally do any sort of advocacy things on here, but this one hits (literally) close to home.

We are getting into the final days of signing the Water Not Coal petition here in Alberta. If you are a citizen of Alberta, I urge you to find somewhere to sign this. If you’re not Albertan, I am begging you to reblog this so we can get enough signatures. We have until June 10th. You can read about it here:

Water Not Coal | Corb Lund's Petition To Protect Alberta's Rockies

Join Corb Lund and thousands of Albertans to prohibit coal mining in the Rocky Mountains. Sign the citizen initiative petition.

Please save my home, my mountains, my water.

48 hours left! There’s still time to sign- lots of places on the Water Not Coal website!! Tomorrow evening, if you’re in Edmonton, you can head over to Southbound Brewing to grab a beer and get your signature out there!!

The good news is: the needed signatures were acquired. The bad news (and with the Alberta government there’s always bad news): this ain’t over yet.

But, it will go to referendum in October with whatever other bizarrely worded questions can be cooked up for that, and I have hope and faith that people will be opposed to the mining. So thank you to anyone who signed. If nothing else, this has bought time.

There is one very important thing I need people without major dietary restrictions to understand: the distress caused by allergies, celiac disease, and other food restrictions is largely not about the food.

Do I miss some foods I can't eat anymore without getting sick? Sure, but that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is being excluded from a huge portion of human social life of which food is a crucial component. What bothers me is the stress and social stigma of trying to figure out what I can safely eat. What bothers me is the amount of extra work and cost that is required of me to identify, obtain, and prepare safe foods. What bothers me is people treating my needs like a nuisance, as though I chose to be like this - as though their brief inconvenience to check an ingredients list is unreasonable, when I deal with this every day of my life forever.

I don't miss the food that much. I miss not having to worry about what I eat. I miss freedom. I miss when trying new foods and new restaurants was fun instead of a minefield. I miss not having to plan my entire life around the need for safe foods.

Food is such a basic human need, and a lot of people don't really need to think about it. When your danger foods can be anywhere and everywhere, suddenly your entire life revolves around avoiding them, and it massively sucks. You get used to it and it's not a big deal most of the time, but then you go to a new restaurant, or your office has a potluck, or you've been invited to a party and suddenly it feels just as miserable and exhausting as it ever has.

Since I was just reminded of this song: welcome to the Canadian Prairies

[caesarsaladinn]

most radio country music is a tangle of floating signifiers, basically unmoored from any actual human culture, but Corb Lund takes it a little too far in the other direction and writes verses that are incomprehensible unless you remember the names of some famous 1970s Canadian rodeo horses

Corb Lund is writing songs that are incomprehensible unless you know u/duitsallnightlong’s one-armed chilean leftist uncle Jose

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."
