It's never just a carrot.
I was standing in my kitchen this morning looking out at the garden. The only bed that I can really see from that vantage point is the carrot bed. That's not a complaint, the carrot bed is actually my favourite one.
I like carrots. Always have.
They're delicious pretty much any way you eat them. Lots of good things for the body. Easy to hide in food for people who (for whatever reason) don't like veggies. Honestly, one of the first things I remember wanting to grow when I thought of trying to grow anything.
It turns out that growing carrots is a lot more complex than I thought it was going to be just from reading about it. Like most things, lived experience often veers off the course of what the research tells you.
Is your soil fertile? Is it balanced? What are the boundaries of the space you are growing? What are your favoured varieties? Will they grow well together? Do you have enough light? Do you have enough shade? Are you ready to dedicate yourself to watering, and to fertilizing and pest control?
Are you ready to do the work?
Make no mistake, it is work. The carrots in a garden don't just appear for your use with zero - or low - effort. Lots of work before you get to partake. It's hard work that needs to be consistently done. If that effort isn't maintained, the crop won't be very fruitful and you might not have them when you need them; alternately, your carrot won't be viable - it might just wither in the ground.
But you! You did the work.
You learned as you went, made adjustments... hardest of all - you learned that you didn't have to tend the garden all by yourself.
Good for you!
So now that you have a gorgeous fucking crop of carrots, everything is wonderful and you can stop working so hard! Right? Everything is planted and look at all the lovely green growing up out of the ground... and "oh I have carrots here, I'm covered for all happy carrots, everything is great and I can kick my feet up because look at all the carrots!"
Mmmm.... Carrots. We are all set.
Hold up, hoes.
Lo and behold, one day you need a carrot while you're trying out a new recipe. You go and pull one out and it's the most wonderful, beautiful carrot and it's perfect and bright and full of nutrients and oh-so-good-for-us-ness... you talk about how excellent the conditions are for your carrot, and how healthy your garden is and eat together in happy-joyful-floaty, well earned satisfaction.
Delicious.
Enjoy your healthy garden!
Next time you are cooking up a storm, you suddenly need another carrot and you run to the garden to pull one and... it's ugly and twisted and there's dirt caked in a crack down the side of it and why does it look hairy? But that's the carrot you have and you use it because... you. need. a carrot.
This time, you discuss the garden conditions and the soil amendments. You make the choice to add and change and adjust and grow with your carrots... You let the fucking difficult carrot teach you how to cultivate a better garden. You share your meal, and it is made no less nurturing or nutritious by the ugly carrot; in fact, it is made even more delicious and fulfilling by the work you have put in to enhance your garden... by the choice to secure your future full of delectable, lovely carrots.
Each time you pull a carrot - be it perfect or ugly as hell, each time you talk about pulling a carrot, each time you tend to your carrots... you can make the choice to improve your garden as a whole. You can make the decision to apply what you have carrot-learned to how you handle other issues you might someday come up against with your lettuce, or your beans.
.
Hey, something just occurred to me...
.
Kinda the same with safewords, isn't it?
Who'd have thought that carrots and safewords would have so much in common?
.
Are you ready to do the work?
To prepare your soil? Plant your seeds? Tend your garden?
When you are ready... Use every single veggie or herb you pull... Every flower you pluck... to make your whole garden healthier, more nurturing...
Having to harvest your carrots is not a bad thing. Done with respect, with care, with mutually supportive intention, it serves to improve your garden.
Making it stronger. Resistant to pests.
Growing ever healthier and more resilient.
Sew.
Get fucking filthy.
Garden safe(word)ly on.
🥕
#i wrote a thing#for you...#lessons from the garden#doing the work#cultivating#magic things#not a garden dream#a garden reality#filthy fucking fun#safewords#communication#sharing harvests

>a queer delight a day, day 3:
went to a garden party hosted by a queer friend, who had in turn invited a bunch of other cool queer people !!!! highlights included:
- fun fashion!! fun queer fashion !!! sparkles and flowy dresses and embroidery and khaki shorts and brightly-colored print shirts and !! loud gender non-conformity!!! casual, fancy, weird, silly, all kinds!!
- doing introductions and hearing so many beautiful and cool and fun chosen names
- “my pronouns are he/him, unless someone thinks I’m cis, then it’s he/they”
- all the butches drawn to the grill like moths to a porch light. hotdogs cooked to perfection, thank you butches
- my partner also went over to the grill at one point but I suspect that was more about the. fire uwu <3
- “I used to identify as butch, but these days I just like the word ‘dyke’“ “dude, I gave up on other labels and I just started collecting slurs like stickers instead, it feels so much better, it’s so freeing” “I know right !!!!!” “I knowww”
- friend training to be a tattoo artist convincing at least 3 of us to consider letting her use us as a training cloth. Big Want ,,
- surprisingly well-coordinated dance party set to Cotton Eye Joe ..?
it was a freakin hoot, I love hanging out w other queers So Much, there is no better feeling than being in a big group of people, including ones you’ve never met before, and thinking “this is exactly where I’m supposed to be.” like what can compare
#deerchatter#pride month#lgbt+#queer positivity#queer community#it's technically past midnight here but ssshhh it's still yesterday in some other timezones. ssshh#i had to share the big queer garden party. it was the coolest#i have such cool friends and my cool friends have so many other cool friends ...

I could get really weird about Chrona/Mäkiniemi I bet. Chronäkiniemi. Mäki was getting real cuddly after the game with Magnus. There could be something there. Shared trauma through never having enough defensive support bringing them closer maybe.
#this year SUCKS bc all narrative info i am getting is from like what is happening on the ice bc we get no question videos and no fun content#or like what i personally witness at some team event#which is fun but it's not communal!! where is the shared joy you know#i'm like wholesale grasping for narrative but there's mo evidence to back me up!!#*no#anyway#chronäkiniemi. they're picking tangerines in my garden and then theyre going to kiss under the tree next to the shed when theyre all dusty#fresno oilers.txt#i literally would write this btw the cuda do gardening tasks for me series if i thought any of you would respect me in the morning

Guys please check on your friends and the people in your communities. The recent supreme court decisions have left a lot of people in really despairing positions. Reach out. Even if we cant help each other financially we can support one another emotionally.
#I know the biden administration is trying new things and whatever but#This shit hurts and its going to ruin and end lives.#We need to rely on community connection more now than ever#From just checking in to garden shares to rent strikes

#im probably trippin#but it feels like there's not really a bisexual community#like there's the obvious light hearted stereotypes and jokes we share among ourselves#as well as the appreciate posts made for and made by us#but other than that it doesn't feel like there's a bi/bi umbrella community#like do we look out for each other?#do we have specific terms for our experiences?#are there physical spaces reserved for us?#to be fair I need to look into queer history more#cause these things probably did and do exist#and I just haven't noticed#idk#I just want to commune with other bisexuals#this includes omni pan and polysexual folks as well#rambles in the garden

how to explain the concept that there are people i love & would describe as friends, if asked, who i have some species of crush on, and would absolutely kiss and (in some cases) sleep w/, and go on dates with, but it's fundamentally different from the way i love my spouse & do those things with him, in some esoteric way that is difficult to conceptualize, let alone define?????
how to explain the concept that there are still other friends whom i love with such intensity that it hurts; that i would hold their hands and kiss their cheeks and go on dates with, and share a living space, & spend my life next to, but definitely would not sleep with?? and that this love, too, is different in some way from both my love for my spouse & the previously described friend-love????
#laying in bed Thinkin my Thoughts on a lazy sunday afternoon#sometimes u wanna love ur friends by flirting w/ & fucking them i guess!#and sometimes u wanna love them by owning communal property and planting a garden in ur shared yard & cooking meals w/ them#and sometimes u wanna love them by hanging out a couple times a week to watch bad tv and play games#& that's all fine i think#just hard 2 define and explain#χ.txt

I love being back in the midwest lol today I learned one of the bartenders at our (very) local bar also has a farm and sells eggs! I’ve been thinking about how I wanted to find an egg connect and then here he is with these beauties in his truck for $3/dozen 😌
#i am really trying to intentionally build a resilient community here#bc when it all goes down I’m gonna need a guy with eggs#and I’m also trying to cultivate parts of my life that can be useful to others#my garden is small this year but I hope someday soon we are growing more than we need and that we have people to share our abundance with

Armenians have lived in Jerusalem for 1,600 years and Armenian Palestinians are the oldest group in the Armenian diaspora. From their indigenous land in Artsakh to the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem, Armenians have been facing ethnic cleansing and persecution on multiple fronts. With the escalating genocidal violence in Gaza and the West Bank, armed settler encroachment into Armenian holdings in Jerusalem has fallen under the radar of some pro-Palestine activism and it is critical we do not allow this to happen.
Some context:
( In 1948, Armenians in Jerusalem numbered about 16,000. Today, that number has shrunk; estimates range from 700-1000, with a smaller community in Bethlehem. )
“We are not the objectives of the Israelis, but we occupy a huge chunk of Jerusalem. The fact that we’re here is an obstacle for them, but we’ve been here for 1,600 years and we’re not going anywhere.”
"These are only the most visible of the challenges facing the community....Israeli discrimination, economic decline, and political insecurity have taken a toll on Armenians, encouraging emigration.
A century after the community was nearly annihilated, Armenian Palestinians today say they feel deeply at home in the Holy Land, but fear how much longer they will be able to hold on."
“Don’t ask me about the massacres that happened 100 years ago [1915],” Annie Guluzian said when asked about her experiences as an Armenian Palestinian. “I won’t open [up about] those topics. Because if I do, I will start talking about my brother who was martyred by the Israelis in the [second] Intifada.”
The toll of the Israeli occupation in Palestine is what defines her life today, Guluzian added. Source
Since October 26th, 2023, when the leader of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem announced it would cancel a once-secret 2021 land lease deal with a real estate company that has alleged links to settler interests, the company, Xana Gardens, has sent in armed settlers and bulldozers to steal the land (including Armenian Chruch property and several Armenian families). Armenians have been resisting the occupational forces day in and day out.

In response, Armenians have created an account on Twitter called SaveTheArq which has been documenting and updating on social media the recent land demolitions by Israeli settlers in the Armenian quarter, they have also launched a fundraiser for legal actions to protect the Armenian quarter and I highly recommend donating, if you can't, please share it around:
#palestine#jerusalem#armenia#armenian diaspora#save the Armenian quarter#free palestine#my liberation as a Palestinian is not complete without the liberation of Armenians and I stand by that#Armenian palestinians#armenian genocide
