what i’m supposed to be getting out of this memoir: a deep appreciation for the beauty & fragility of the wild world, told through the eyes of a sensitive & keen observer, à la a 21-st century Sand County Almanac

what i’m actually getting out of this memoir: wait, can we hear more about the author’s older brother???  he sounds like exactly the kind of brilliant asshole i would’ve hooked up with after some concert during The Messy Part of my postcollege years???  am i supposed to think someone is hot just based on an eight-page description in someone’s memoir?  because like.  that just happened.  that is where my head is at

scullys awesome when he gets drunk

[image description: two simple drawings of scully, a butch lesbian with short spiky hair. the first one shows him zoming out with a neutral expression, holding a can labeled beer with a little bit of a flush on his face. above him is a caption reading "[deep in thought for 20 minutes]". the second image shows him turned to the right a little with his mouth open and a slightly more present expression, hes saying "d'you think dogs can get married" end image id]

On a humid May afternoon beneath the shade cloth of the plant nursery on his South Texas ranch, Benito Treviño leaned down, magnifying glasses perched on his nose above an extravagant salt-and-pepper moustache, and used his pen knife to remove a bulbous growth from the top of a baseball-sized, dome-shaped cactus. He sliced the thing over a white paper plate, and dozens of bowl-shaped, red-brown specks spilled out.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser's Household Water Purification System

For urine and waste water from the household, Hundertwasser designed a biological water-purification system using aquatic plants and put it into practise in several versions (KunstHausWien). The plant purification system can be used in bright and warm interiors using the following plants: calla, cypress grass, waterhyacinth, papyrus, scouring rush, spiderwort, alocasia, jointed twig-rush, climbing fig etc. Outdoors, bulrushes, reeds, cattails, water mint and water flag, etc., are used. The dirty water must flow through the root portion of the aquatic plants and through the colonies of decomposing bacteria; in this way it is purified naturally. The dirt is converted in part to vegetable matter and in part to mineral sediment.
