Stamp Dump

I'd say it's somewhat farm themed?? A little birdie gave me this idea

◇ F2u credit appreciated.

What a lovely abandoned farm building...thing? Not sure what it was but there was no way I could get to it without ticks eating me alive. Anyone know what this place was, specifically?

Sabrina the barn cat was extra friendly yesterday <3 she even sat on my chest and did biscuits for a while :3

I uncovered a secret chicken nest among my sunchokes while weed whacking yesterday, but left the eggs to deal with later. This morning they were gone - all 7 of them. It was outside the fence, so some varmint got a feast last night. Possibly there is a very lumpy black snake sleeping it off in the woods.

Tomorrow we’re unloading 3 wagons of hay and thursday will be 5 wagons. Yes 5 more wagons not 5 total :]

I’m gonna be mush after, but i will be shredded >:]

I live in the woods by the farm.

They call me Pole Bean.

But this year, I may become Moose.

Maybe.

Hey @cynifer! They're here!

sorry for a late update. I ended up staying the night, and waking up next to her was genuinely the most incredible thing in the world. I’m helping her with chores today. She mostly does physical work outside, which makes sense. She said she didn’t mind heavy lifting back when we met. She seems to enjoy it here. She talks to the animals like people, but I guess I do the same for my cat. She talked to me a lot too, explaining what I could do to help, just talking, sometimes just smiling. I don’t mind helping.

End of night closing up the farm now includes the pigs and since this is the first day of having to make sure the pigs are inside and closing up.

It took me ten minutes of trying to chase the pigs inside (they did not want to be inside) because they aren’t used to me as a family member (I’ve been sick and/or busy performing the entirety of them being here) they don’t come when I call like the do my father.

I ended up giving them like. A HANDFUL of food and stepping into the corner before they went inside and ended up having to lock myself out of the pen and climbing over the pig proof fences. Which. Is apparently very human proof because I had to do a lot of shimmying and almost rolled my ankle. Very fun

That is to say- this is one of the last nicer days of closing up until it becomes -10 every night and I have to do chores while also getting frostbite. So it was nice to have a good walkthrough of everything since I’ve been sick so long before it becomes a race against freezing to death

It’s solar and wind and tidal and geothermal and hydropower.

It’s plant-based diets and regenerative livestock farming and insect protein and lab-grown meat.

It’s electric cars and reliable public transit and decreasing how far and how often we travel.

It’s growing your own vegetables and community gardens and vertical farms and supporting local producers.

It’s rewilding the countryside and greening cities.

It’s getting people active and improving disabled access.

It’s making your own clothes and buying or swapping sustainable stuff with your neighbours.

It’s the right to repair and reducing consumption in the first place.

It’s greater land rights for the commons and indigenous peoples and creating protected areas.

It’s radical, drastic change and community consensus.

It’s labour rights and less work.

It’s science and arts.

It’s theoretical academic thought and concrete practical action.

It’s signing petitions and campaigning and protesting and civil disobedience.

It’s sailboats and zeppelins.

It’s the speculative and the possible.

It’s raising living standards and curbing consumerism.

It’s global and local.

It’s me and you.

Climate solutions look different for everyone, and we all have something to offer.

Actual emoji: ❄️cozy man!!!

work never stops. even in the winter. so in a way, this is still my farm gear.

Note to self: If you’re going to wear a sweatshirt under your bee suit, make sure it has a zipper.

I ended up being unable to extricate myself without squishing the bee and getting stung, so I had to go find help like a raccoon with its head stuck in a can.

Personal shit but the more I work in security related fields like bouncing and surveillance and childminding and sex ed, stuff like that, the more I find myself compulsively intervening with situations I encounter in my off time and I’m beginning to feel like being the hypervigilant and paranoid parentified eldest child prepped me for this life like one of those retired service dogs that just keeps doing service dog stuff

Like not to pathologize shit cause my therapist told me not to but I genuinely do wonder if I’d be capable of surviving like. A white collar desk job. Or if I’d just lose my mind without a group to watch
