Did you hear the scientists have found a way to grow colored cotton? Thoughts?

It’s not a ‘scientists have found’ and much more ‘people have been already doing that for thousands of years and it’s just gaining more attention recently’

Scientists didn’t know. It should be “Scientists just found out”

There’s actually been a load of vitriol leveled against folks who try to raise traditional colored cottons, because a lot of cotton growers don’t want the colored cottons cross-pollinating with their standard white cotton.

But anyway cotton can be grown in lovely natural shades of greens, reddish-brown ochres, and browns, all of which deepen with a good boil in water with a bit of washing soda thrown in.

The color obviously doesn’t fade or run, because it’s not dye. It’s the intrinsic color of the fiber itself.

I....I want clothes made out of those colors. They don't hurt my brain!

Aren’t they lovely?

I’m biased because I love the natural earth tones of many fibers, of course...browns, blacks, creams, copper-reds, ect...but I think they’re just gorgeous.

Unpopular but true: a large reason why grocery store are empty now isn’t just because there’s a bunch of greedy, awful people panic everything in sight to spite others. Sure, there’s some hoarding assholes, but a lot of it is people realizing they will now need over a month’s worth of groceries in one go when they might usually only buy enough to last them a week, maybe two, and people who can no longer supplement with going out, people who are now eating three meals at home when usually their kids eat lunch at school and they have lunch at the office… that’s a hell of a lot more food than most families need to have on hand, including people who normally never cook and just grubhub everything. The food supply chains will hopefully stabilize a bit in the coming weeks - just wanted to point out it’s not all malicious and people aren’t as awful as is being said. I’m under self imposed quarantine, social distancing, working from home and staying away from others. Hoping all of you guys are safe and feeling ok.

just about every person coming through my line at the grocery store is just buying what they’d usually buy when they buy groceries. They’re just buying MORE of it than they’d usually buy. Because they’re needing more than they’d usually need. I lost count of how many times I was asked if we had any more eggs simply because people told me they were cooking sit down breakfasts for their kids now instead of ‘something they can send them out the door on the way to school with’. We’re not sold out of milk because we’ve got milk hoarders stalking up their garage for the next five months with milk. We’re out of milk because everyone’s home now and drinking more of it. Same with bread. Our cake mixes aren’t flying off the shelves because people are worried about dessert shortages. It’s because people are home and doing baking with their free time. So - yeah - there are some assholes out there hoarding shit. But its not that simple. It’s rarely that simple. Beware of people that tell you its that simple.

should also point out that my store, and most others, have, for a couple weeks now, had a limit on how much of a certain thing people can buy. So no, even when we do get trucks in, no one’s walking out of our store with two cartloads full of toilet paper. And I’ve only had to turn away two people that tried to overbuy in the past two weeks as well.

Huh. Hadn’t thought about it like that before

#we should all try to be critical and thoughtful when encountering narratives that suggest that humanity is inherently selfish #or promotes the perspective of viewing your community as a hoard that you’re separate from#cause these beliefs really do limit your ability to trust in your neighbors and establish mutual aid networks &#make you more susceptible to eugenics propaganda#criticize individuals behaving badly or even specific behavior that is widespread- but when it comes to criticizing ‘humanity’ or whatever#be careful and think about what you actually mean#I saw someone criticizing getting 3 months of meds & like I normally get my meds in 3 month batches as of like a year ago#cause I’ve been consistently on the same meds for like half a decade#and also I don’t know if I’ll even be able to see my psychiatrist in the coming months (via @closet-keys)

time passes too quickly. you lay down in the forest. "just five minutes," you say to the trees. "five minutes to be alone. then i can get up and go on living." you close your eyes. when you open them again the saplings around you have grown massive, and your hair has turned to moss. "you were gone too long," the trees whisper. "they've forgotten all about you."

i don’t think i was meant to be a person. i think i was meant to be a small mushroom growing on a decomposing log deep in the forest. i think that would be ideal.
