Which animal gives off the most polite vibe?
Bear
Donkey
Owl
Giraffe
Earthworm
Help me settle a debate with my friends! If it seems difficult to choose that's normal, we've already dealt with the animals that are easy to sort (e.g. goats and mice are the two extremes on the spectrum of animal civility) and these are the more dicey choices that are on a similar level of perceived politeness.
Machines vote for owl:

Oh fuck this shit.
Coming out again and again, each time another parent of a kid in daycare asks whether we wanna have a playdate because our kids seem to like each other.
Even in this country, one of the most tolerant ones in the world. Each time a parent that comes from a different culture (and we got lots here) doesn't say hi when we meet in the shop or where have you, it's: maybe they didn't recognize me? Maybe I had done something wrong? Or, uh, did they finally notice that their kid's friend in daycare has two mommies?
I guess it should just always be the first thing out of my mouth. Hi, my name is, and I have a wife, if you don't like it, fuck off straight away.
And maybe they're allies but just don't like me! I'll never know. Fucking fantastic.

How do you imagine the climate crisis will affect you, your animals and your rural life in general? Are you doing anything in particular to try to mitigate the effects?
I think about it a lot. Then try to focus on the present day and the near future so as not to feel hopeless. I was talking with a farmer neighbour the other day about hayâthe year I moved here the harvest was ruined by several heat waves and prolonged drought (people actually had to feed hay to their animals in summer as there was no grass to eat, and I bought my animals for very cheap because a lot of farms had to sell parts of their herds lest they start depleting their winterâs supply of hay in July); then last year there was an insane hailstorm that left pastures looking like they'd been crushed by bulldozers; and this year weâve had torrents of rain almost every day since summer started. I was like, that didn't use to happen, did it? and he said no, no, it's not normal for the harvest to be ruined by a different crazy weather event every single year.
Trees are more resilient to extreme weather than grass so I tried making tree hay last year and the animals ate it just fine; and I'll continue clearing my overgrown second pasture so I can make my own hay in the future and hopefully be self-sufficient when it comes to my animalsâ food supply. So I guess my thought experiments re: climate change so far don't go any further than "What if one summer I can't buy any hay?" Reading about people who go a lot further and are actively stockpiling supplies or learning how to be self-sufficient in every way in preparation for the future petrifies me, people who are so determined to survive any level of dystopian future feel unrelatable and kind of scary.
We often have long power cuts in the autumn & winter here and sometimes I'm like, well letâs see how I would fare if society collapsed and thereâs no electricityâin many ways it feels more manageable here than it would be in a city, as I have sources of water (that can also keep perishable foods cool) and a wood stove I can cook on, but in reality I would not last very long nor want to. What I find really scary is less a hazy notion of societal collapse and more the looming threat of violent fascism and resource warsâwar is such an enormous waste of resources, energy, human potential, and the idea that we would waste it on destructive actions, to create more misery, at a time when we desperately need these dwindling resources for constructive ends, is mind-numbingly depressing.
One way of bracing myself for the future that doesnât make me feel anxious is being friends & exchanging small services with the people from my local community, which reminds me that people enjoy sustaining small communities and helping others without monetary incentive and perhaps this will endure despite everything.
I'm building a greenhouse so I can grow more food over a longer growing season, and would also like to plant fruit trees and to rehabilitate the former pond and stock it with edible fish, but it's more because it makes me happy to participate in the informal food gift-economy with my neighbours and offer nice meals to the city friends who visit me, and because eating my own food would allow me to buy less stuff (esp. plastic-packaged stuff), than in a spirit of preparation for a bleak future. I try to focus on the few things I can control (driving my car as seldom as I can, not flying, not having kids, not ordering stuff online and not buying unneeded things, having mostly hobbies that donât involve consumption or technology) and keep the rest at bay.
I felt terrified of global warming as a kid (Iâm not sure why, because in the late 90s the general discourse was overall reassuring, we still talked mostly of âthe greenhouse effectâ and adults were like âthis is something your grandchildren will have to worry about towards the end of the next century if we donât do something about it, but Iâm sure we will, look, we just signed the Kyoto Protocol!ââI would have been so traumatised growing up now.) I remember reading an 1850s book in which the author made enthusiastic predictions about the year 2000 and thinking, wow, imagine having this wide a horizon. Trying to picture society 150 years from now and not hitting a mental wall. On my birthday I used to think, âwell at least I made it to age [10, 11, 12] and things were okay. No matter what happens from now on at least I got to live ten okay years before it happened.â I still kind of think like this, I go on a walk like âright now the natural world is beautiful despite everythingâ, focusing on whatâs at hand rather than future conjectures, which feels like taking shallow breaths for fear of smelling smoke, I tell myself âat least this week was goodâ, âthis lovely thing happened todayâ, itâs a strange kind of contented despair. Desperate contentment.
âIs it possible to see the future as dark and darkening further; to reject false hope and desperate pseudo-optimism without collapsing into despair? What, at this moment in history, would not be a waste of my time? If you donât feel despair, in times like these, you are not fully alive. But there has to be something beyond despair too; or rather, something that accompanies it, like a companion on the road.â (x)
your blackberry-frangipane pie looks delicious! would you be willing to share your recipe?
1. The frangipane filling is super simple: - 2 eggs, - 40g melted butter, - 100g sugar, - 125g ground almonds. Stir with fork until you get something that feels creamy and grainy and right. Spread it evenly on whichever crust you usually use for fruit pie (I use a pùte sablée)
2. Then add enough blackberries to cover it all, as shown above, but without having several layers of berries (you donât want to smother your frangipane). I have no idea how much that is, Iâve never bothered to weigh my berriesâmaybe 200g? more? I donât know :( You can also try to replace the blackberries with other fruit and see what happens (and let me know!)
3. Then in the oven for 40min at 200°C. My oven is a weak old beast so thatâs what works for me, but in my grandmaâs state of the art oven it was done after 30min at 180°C so just... check on your pie anxiously the first time. And bake until the frangipane in the centre no longer looks too raw. If it looks raw-er than on the periphery thatâs perfectly normal.
My grandmother used to separate some berries from their sisters and mix them with the frangipane, in order to get a beautiful pink-hued frangipane that âdidnât clash with the colour of the berriesâ. Her pies looked like a sunset on the wine-dark sea and mine look like I enjoy taking the path of least resistance.
The least resistance it is!

what is one line of poetry/writing that lives in ur head rent free please share i would like to knowÂ
it wouldnât reward the watcher to stay awake in hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break on his particular time and personal sight. That calm seems certainly safe to last to-night

I know he's blood but you can still turn him away you don't owe him anything
idk if its bc of the calming, wise persona you present online (not that you are not those things irl, but i wouldnt be able to attest to that) but something makes me wanna tell you everything about my day and listen to everything abt yours as well
Thank you for this nice ask! My ideal microblogging platform now that I think about it would be one where people only make 1 post a day, in which they share one pleasant or interesting thing about their day. Like a nicer Twitter. Call it Chipper. The posts would be automatically queued so they would all appear around the same time, so you arenât tempted to check the platform compulsively many times a day but know that at 8am or 8pm (up to you) your daily batch of little nice news from people you follow will be delivered like a paper on your doorstep. For me this week it would be:
Monday: I started reading a poetry collection by astronomer Rebecca Elson; lovely timing because a late June evening in the pasture was the ideal setting to read some of these
Tuesday: I wanted to write a little update about Pampeâs education but I didnât have my phone with me to take a picture and she is being so good lately I end up not having anything very interesting to say. âI put the halter on her and made her walk around a bit and she was very calm.â Boring. Well-behaved llamas seldom make history.
Wednesday: I read in a book about a French 18th-century philosopher (Maupertuis, son of the pirate Maupertuis who was knighted by Louis XIV) that he once told Madame de la FertĂ©-Imbault âyour gaiety will last forever, because it is based on nothing.â I like the idea of groundless gaiety being the most dependable form of happiness.
Thursday: I am currently sitting near a little lake and I wanted to wait a bit longer to see what it would look like when the sun sets, but itâs starting to rain. But it was already beautiful in the early evening light:
I think the only thing thatâs right about this is that the problem involves a beethoven symphony and thatâs about it

The boat goes through water at 10 miles per hour. How long does it take to go from Port Smith to Port Jones? How long to come back?
Lawrence immediately saw that it was a trick question. You would have to be some kind of idiot to make the facile assumption that the current would add or subtract 5 miles per hour to or from the speed of the boat. Clearly, 5 miles per hour was nothing more than the average speed. The current would be faster in the middle of the river and slower at the banks. More complicated variations could be expected at bends in the river. Basically it was a question of hydrodynamics, which could be tackled using certain well-known systems of differential equations. Lawrence dove into the problem, rapidly (or so he thought) covering both sides of ten sheets of paper with calculations. Along the way, he realized that one of his assumptions, in combination with the simplified Navier Stokes equations, had led him into an exploration of a particularly interesting family of partial differential equations. Before he knew it, he had proved a new theorem. If that didnât prove his intelligence, what would?
Then the time bell rang and the papers were collected. Lawrence managed to hang onto his scratch paper. He took it back to his dorm, typed it up, and mailed it to one of the more approachable math professors at Princeton, who promptly arranged for it to be published in a Parisian mathematics journal.
Lawrence received two free, freshly printed copies of the journal a few months later, in San Diego, California, during mail call on board a large ship called the U.S.S. Nevada. The ship had a band, and the Navy had given Lawrence the job of playing the glockenspiel in it, because their testing procedures had proven that he was not intelligent enough to do anything else.

OH. My. God.
Goddamnanit.
BAH!!! Hahahaha!!!
I love everything about this.
How dare you
