#or was it some other self sufficient person? in an underground bunker? who herded all their sheep in when they heard people coming?

EVERY fantasy book EVERY scifi novel every starwars movie every post apocalyptic show. I ask, WTF??? The same same question EVERY time. Say it with me - WHERE’S THE FARMING?
#ursula k le guin is guiding me. hand on my shoulder.
#approx 200 generations of agriculturist ancestors stand at the other shoulder and they are yelling
#where does your food come from? who makes your clothes?
#who repairs them?
#how do you store these things? how do you preserve them?
#What fuel do u use to cook how many people are you feeding?
#look. too much of the art i consume comes from the imperial core/global north where most of us have to think about where our shit comes from
#approximately none of the time
#but if u are writing about an alternative world u HAVE to have these systems
#i just watched the gay episode of TLOU and it was pretty good in that regard but in the early part the guy had chickens
#excellent move good work
#and then the chickens never reappeared?? nor the food garden? we only saw leisure activities? which sure u could have some time i guess.
#but what the fuck were you feeding those chickens? did ur big metal fence keep foxes away too?
#and then at the end [spoiler event] WITHOUT LIKE. REFERENCING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE ANIMALS?
#YOU HAVE DEPENDENTS MY DUDE. YOU CAN'T JUST [SPOILER].
#and how do those quarantine zones work? those walled citiess? we saw the land 10 miles to the east and it was wilderness?
#and weirdest thing there was pasture? grazed pasture? but no animals on it? is this city land?
#why weren't the fugitives avoiding it? why was it in the middle of forest?
#or was it some other self sufficient person? in an underground bunker? who herded all their sheep in when they heard people coming?
#which if u have ever worked with sheep. good luck doing that urgently.
