If food waste is a concern, I wonder if US-style leftover culture will spread, except I don't know how that might impact disposable container consumption.

Personally I'm okay with slice of life stuff. It's about the experience rather than the plot, but I get it if that's not your jam.

 

I've only seen a couple reviews on it, not the piece itself, but my general impression is 1) diabetes-inducing adorable, 2) probably as anticapitalist a message as we're gonna get from a capitalism factory.

I want a picture rail so it's easy to hang all them things.

Given my extremely ambiguous feelings about some of my uncles, I dunno that it always means that much.

My problem is that I would end up more unfitted granny-hippie than punk. Just wear shit inspired by hanfu, caftans, and elastic waist pants. Me and my muumuu don't need no tailor.

I have mixed feelings about this because it often ends up meaning that people feel entitled to free female labor. What do I get out of this village, huh? Do I at least get a casserole?

So many deadbeat dudes who finally got served divorce papers just turn around and snag another woman to dump all the domestic labor onto.

 

I recently upgraded my phone, and I'm having a better time with tank photography. Here is the least potato pic I've taken of my boi Diogenes.

He's recently turned very blue. He deffo was not this blue even last week. He was, tbh, kinda shit-colored with blue tints in his fins when I first got him.

He's also the most puppy-like out of the couple-few bettas I've had. Corbulo was leery of fingers and faces near his tank, but Dio just wants to see what's up. I wonder if it has anything to do with breeding -- are wild types or wild hybrids less grumpy than most bettas?

That makes me think of shit like Karahan Tepe or Poverty Point. How would they organize to build cool shit without a centralized authority? Or maybe it was a centralized authority but it wasn't hierarchical?

 

My poor dude Corbulo kicked the bucket a few weeks ago when I fucked up planting his tank. I've been waiting to see if I killed the plants, but at least one (1) is growing.

I already had 'Diogenes' picked out as a name for my next betta, and it seems like a name for a something in the yellow-red spectrum. Except I also liked the look of the 'alien' boys, which mostly come in blue.

So I picked a rather bland speckled boy who may or may not be a wild type. I hope he brightens up as he grows.

 

My crypt undulata has had 3 weeks to melt and be dramatic, but I can't really tell if it's doing anything under the fuzz. How long before I can say that I gave it a good run before I yoink it for something else?

My anubias, planted at the same time, gave me a new leaf so I'm not totally hopeless.

Man, assuming they have the money, indigenous tribes also in the US could do some amazing solarpunk shit. Renewable energy like this, rewilding and traditional sustainable land management, maybe even guaranteed housing in a communal setting. But they have a hard time getting the feds to give them the funding for the treaty-mandated healthcare shit as it is.

Black Forager, whom I mostly follow on F-book.

I have beef with him, tho TBF it's mostly CS Lewis's fault. Platonic ideals are social constructs, suck on that, fundagelicals who pretend to be intellectuals.

 

Still waiting for my newest African violet to shape up, but it was cruelly yanked from an auntie's loving humidity cabinet and then thrown to sink or swim on my countertop.

 

IDK if this is quite solarpunk, but it's some kind of eco-punk.

This guy films himself cleaning up culverts and street drains, mostly in the New England region of the US, with a rake and hip waders. He bitches about beavers and idiots with excavators and has a lot of technical opinions on road engineering that I find interesting for no good gawddamn reason.

Props to him if he makes a decent amount on these videos. Better than customer service work.

 

My gesneriad gang made the commute to the kitchen bar top. I remembered where I stored the grow light but I can only find one of the heated cat beds. Send halp, there will be hissing and flexing

 

Inherited a set of these amber glass cups from my dude's great-grandma. I like them, they make me feel a little fancy, but I absolutely cannot gauge a steep color in these. I've got water as hardass as a Humphrey Bogart character, and it helps to glance at the color to see if I've got a decent steep, especially for herbal tisanes.

Welp.

 

Because redecorating a 10g fish tank with fake plants is cheaper than redecorating my apartment. It ended up more open on top than I wanted but my betta boi still has his floating log to hide in. Gonna go blow all my money on more aquarium decor to alter it during next week's water change.

 

Jumping from a previous post on education. Feel free to skip the first 7:30 minutes (which mostly defines solarpunk as a concept, I think we're good on that in this space), but this seems like this Human Restoration Project is a good thing with the wonk behind it to make it functional. (extra linky just in case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nh0EkuiBzs)

 

Maybe I'm just a dirty tree-hugging hippie, but captive bred is better.

 

This is the 3rd betta I've had and he's just not food motivated like every other betta I've seen. We've tried pellets, flakes, and assorted freeze dried shit and he'll still mostly ignore it until it sinks to the bottom, and then maybe he'll nibble it. Bruh you are not a catfish or pleco, wtf. He's a "samurai" plakat male, while before I had the bog standard veiltails. Is this why he's weird? It doesn't seem likely tho?
