I had forgotten how much I enjoy Big Dog Tiny Bed photos.
Here is one of my favorites:

Farm Box Tuesday!
Tumblr media
It is week 9, and the Squashening has begun! this week I got beets, cabbage, kale (swapped for a massive quantity of lettuce), and FIVE yellow squashes. For fruits, there were two pints of blueberries and a thing of little plums from South Carolina.
I suppose it's just as well they didn't do cherries, considering my weekend, but I'm a little surprised we're still getting out-of-state fruit when cherries are bursting out all over the place.

My dried cherries! It's amazing how much less space they take up once all the water is sucked out.
Now that I have the dehydrator out, I did some sweet potato chews for Sophie, and now I'm making dried hash browns for me. (I just bought a bag of potatoes and then discovered I had a bunch left.) (The sweet potatoes I should have done ages ago; I had to throw a bunch away that were all shriveled up and moldy.)

I think the point the show is making--or, at minimum, a reading that the show does not resist--is that they come across as weird and naive and perhaps a bit ridiculous to other characters living in a corporatocractic hellscape.
And, you know, let that sink in a bit.
Is the Preservation team's communitarianism and alternative lifestyle really being played for laughs or are we just uncomfortable/not used to seeing a noncapitalistic noncisheteronormative society on screen that isn't a joke?

I guess it makes a little more sense that way. I mean, if there's no way around the "having the two tubes cross" problem.
The human body is such bullshit, I hate having to google shit like "why am I having stress symptoms when there are no sources of stress in my life".

You know, I'm not sure I've ever seen video of puffins on the water before.
They look like bath toys.

Big thanks to the person who suggested tzatziki for my Abundance of Cucumbers. I remembered I had a packet of seasoning mix that I bought last summer when I had a similar problem, but never got around to making it, that called for Greek yogurt and a grated cucumber. So I bought a tub of yogurt and made that, plus grilled chicken and onion skewers, with a yogurt marinade; lemon rice, and some of the yogurt skillet bread. Oh, and I chopped up another cucumber to have with some of the tzatziki as a dressing. It was very nice, and the only thing I didn't already have, and had to buy, was the yogurt.
I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for if Aldi gets that seasoning packet in again. (I'm sure I could also find a recipe to make it from scratch, but I suspect I'd have to buy several new spices.)

Yeah, there was a post where somebody was wondering why the Corporation Rim would bother making ComfortUnits, when they could just coerce people into sex-work indentures, but like...this. This is one of the reasons. Because they can have fantasy anatomy.

A lot of the time, it's stuff that just can't be conveyed in an explanation.
Like, the first time you meet an adult, or even an adult-adjacent older teen, who references, say, Covid as a historical event, you will unlock a new perspective on history.
I can say, "It's really not that long ago, people "in history" were people just like you, historical events echo forward in all kinds of ways; Faulkner was 100% spot on the money: the past is never dead; it's not even past," until I'm blue in the face and you might be like, "Yeah, sure, I know, whatever,"
BUT!!
You will know it differently once you hear people talking about things you experienced, and have clear, adult (or adult-ish) memories of, as abstract historical events.
I know, partially because 9/11 (of course) but also all the queer history that happened in the 90's.
And that's just one example; there are other things--like how life is a series of closing doors, or how even when you're middle-aged with a mortgage (or, I'm told, even a senior citizen) you still get that "Why are they letting me do this, I'm just a kid!" feeling sometimes.
I can tell you, and you can believe me, but you'll know it differently when you're older. You just will.
the worst part of "you'll understand when you're older" is that you really do understand when you're older

It's cool that it did that, but honestly in my view it had nothing to make up for. The Company presumably doesn't provide SecUnits with storage space for personal files (since it doesn't consider them persons); deleting some bloatware to make room for what it needs/considered important is a necessary & fully justified act of liberation.
I mean, it is a shame that they ended up in a situation where one of those pieces of bloatware ended up being important, but you can't make a protein-rich breakfast without breaking a few eggs amirite?
yeah sure Murderbot did delete hoppers service manual to have space for its shows but it literally ripped out its neural tissue to fix its mistake and save its humans
