Kernza is a newly-domesticated form of wheatgrass that was designed to be planted from a single seed and regrow on its own, year after year. This would make it unique amongst most other commercial or industrial crops, which are usually annual and need to be replanted every year. According to The Washington Post, annual crops...
A perennial grain is quite a revolution! I assume it would likely still be a monoculture in practise but leaving roots in the ground year round instead of tilling is going to do wonders for the soil life and structure.
Spent a few hours learning from older gent here in Ireland who says that willowweaving used to be passed down from fathers to sons. They used them to store produce like root vegetables mostly.
...but at the same time want to hold on to useless stuff or hobby stuff you don't have the energy to do. I feel like if I didn't have so much stuff I wouldn't have all the clutter to make me feel anxious, like there's just so much stuff. I have a very small wardrobe (well, boxes of clothes since I haven't had the energy to go an...
Keeping clothes under control is a big deal imo. Clothes have so many pain and pleasure points that is easy to hold onto our pasts and pretend futures through them.
Clothes plus creativity are my bane. 'One day I'll wear that elegant dress I just need to add a new zip." I've had to limit myself by keeping a project box. If it doesn't fit I need to swop something out or chuck the project away.
Basically Dana K White's container method (https://youtu.be/_24PoIZSmVs) has been my saving grace. I'm now looking for ways to create zones based on function and then limit my 'inventory'. It's a numbers game for me. Less inventory means I function better in my space. And functioning feels so good when it happens well.
Sounds to me like you found a way to function better around work clothes and better is good. Definitely worth a high five in my book !
I figured this community could use a little content! I freehand crocheted this bag last August using the magic circle to start the bottom, mosaic crochet for the body, double crochet for the flap, and spiral rope crochet for the straps. The button was purchased from a vendor on Etsy.
I also have a small patch to work with and it is so rewarding. I started reading about permaculture because I hated the idea of added npk fertilizers to make plants grow. It felt so unintuitive and daunting to me.
The moment I read about dynamic accumulation, soil life cycles and guilds it was like a bomb went off in my head. I was so excited I had to read everything I could. I love the idea of a mostly closed cycle and reusing as much of what the garden and my kitchen waste could provide.
I neglected my worms when I had my third child and was so sure they had died. 18 months later my worm tower was full to bursting with alive worms ready to be fed. It amazed me. 18 months without food and they continued their lifecycle without any inputs from me. It was a very happy day for me.
I hope a "hurray, we're here!" post is okay. Thank you so much for existing. The subreddit I was most concerned about losing was /r/adhdwomen, and after a difficult evening last night and morning today, I was really missing the community and compassion of my fellow neurodivergent ladies. I'm very grateful to find this, and I...
The niche subs are for sure my biggest worry. I have interests that would be hard to curate content for and have conversations on if it weren’t for all the amazing people of old reddit.
Its made me realise how amazing people are for sure!
I've been struggling with whether to get an autism diagnosis or an adhd one (or to blow the money on therapy instead). I feel like I'm functioning less and less the older I get and sometimes wish a test trial of stimulants could tell me if I had ADHD.
Like if I functioned better on meds then I'd know I'm ADHD. I know it's not a logical wish but I hate all the loopholes and money. I struggle to make medical appointments for anything that is immediately obvious like a wound or rash. Need to get a script ready in my head and hate advocating for myself or the kids to indifferent professionals.
Or snack prep. Or if you make/use freezer packs (prepped raw/half cooked ingredients that can just be thrown in a pot) which I haven’t tried but it seems interesting.
Shelf stable ingredients in general make life so much easier. Canned pumpkin isn’t really available where I am but everytime someone mentions it I want to try it.
My husband has been following a discord channel of each sub going dark like he’s watching the races. Chuckling about sub names and citing the user numbers/stats
