Growing up, Mimi felt ashamed because she wasn’t like other #girls, but a chance discovery at 21 changed that. >>>
When she was first told about the enzyme deficiency, she says she was "reassured that I was...a girl, but that I just couldn't do the things that typical girls could do. I was also told that I couldn't tell my siblings or friends about this."
There are over 30 intersex variations with varying degrees of impact. For some, intersex features are noticeable from birth, while others don’t realise until they try for children. For more information, read:
#Orange thomsonite #geode looks so vibrant and #fuzzy! Fragile little display, but has striking colors that took millions of years to form, hidden deep in the earth.
Mulched beds, borders and (young) shrubs and trees. Exhausted now and all of our own #compost used up. Vegetable garden mulched a couple of weeks ago already. In all I had about ¾ of a cubic metre of compost. Not enough.
I don’t know about that one, bit I know of a somewhat similar option. Yiu can. in so. e states, havarranhe to Hove your body wrapped in a… fabric shroud, amd laid into a … vat filled with organic material, usually woodchils and the like(wood hips are sometimes consodered a waste or a garbage product) , then after after a few weeks you ahve compost or soil basically, that can be used for land conseravtion ect.
I might add, to yiur point, that representatives of the Catholic church have repeatedly opposed this posted etah option from becoming avakabke, on the ground that get this they considerit to be undignified’, (granted, they’re just about the only ones who take thatbosition, one they know moanybof the detail and context, but it’s a substantial and influential organisation), and then random passerby who doesn’t know anything other about the process than a sensational news headline on might well condiser it undignified too, in the moment anyway.
And of course, you could consider it to be as if you had arranged for your foture corpse to be turned into literal dirt, dirt, and then what could be more gloriously u dignified than that.
… more on that subject at: orderofthegooddeath.com/…/green-death-technology/… and at www.recompose.life (I shiuld warn, neigher of these resources make the process sound or look larocularky undignified, but then these things are a matter of perspective after all, in some ways)
"Ukraine was among the nine countries elected to the #UNESCO World Heritage Committee during the Nov. 22 vote for the first time in history. The country submitted its candidacy in July last year. #Ukraine is joining the other 20 members and will hold the seat on the Committee for the period 2023-2027."
"This is a historic event for Ukraine and an important step in the development and protection of the #cultural and #natural#heritage of Ukraine"
World leaders are silent about occupation of #gaza, and the crimes committed, yet while bombs rain down, business continues as usual, with #israel granting 12 licenses to six companies to explore for #NaturalGas off the country's Mediterranean coast on October 30th.
Denying citizens the right to use their own #natural#resources is a crime.
Homeboy takes scraps from the forest floor, turns them into art, then puts them back in their natural setting. Little fairytale houses that look fully-embedded in their surrounding. So cool!
AND, this is organic art with no harmful footprint. Bravo, Mary in the Fairyland. 👏🏻
So Justin #Trudeau, our "#unifying" prime minister who wants to "build #bridges, not sow #division", announced the suspension of the much-hated and regressive #carbon#tax on #heating#oil - but only in the Maritime provinces, because heating your #house shouldn't be expensive, and the #Maritimes are mostly oil-heated.
The west, which is mostly natural #gas-heated, or #propane-heated, which are also carbon taxed?
#Natural#gas is by far the most common #heating#fuel in the prairies, at least in cities of any size. If you're in a rural area, on a farm, a northern community, etc, you may have a #propane tank filled much like the oil tanks elsewhere. Propane costs a lot more than natural gas.
Electrical heat is far more expensive yet - because it generally means resistive heating. Affordable heat pumps that work efficiently in -40C don't exist yet.
