We only cohabitate with nature, it’s the greatest thought fallacy that we have dominion over Nature. Man has been here only a very short period of time, man will be replaced quite easily because we do not recognize how to sustainably live in relationship with nature. Nature will continue on over men’s bones and vast achievements. Nature does not have a ego.
You often see this kind of comment made after someone is attacked by a shark or bear. And it took me a long time to understand, but that is a thoroughly wrong headed thought process.
We don’t enter sharks, bears, raccoons, or anything else’s environment. And they do not enter ours. We are a much a part of nature and the environment as any other living thing, and vice versa. You, me, everyone has a much call and cause to swim in the ocean or walk in the mountains any other living thing.
We keep separating ourselves from nature and the environment to the point we’re we get a God complex thinking we need to “save” it. Or, on the other end of the spectrum “it ain’t mine, so fuck it”. And because of it, we do really dumb shit to our own home.
They say all politics is local. Well, so is nature. And when you separate yourself from it, it becomes someone or something else problem, or responsibility. But the problem is, that ain’t the case. You cannot remove yourself from it, it is the natural world, and we are all part of it.
We have a much right and responsibility to hug trees and not pollute, as we do to fill a deep freeze with venison. We have as much right and responsibility to be good stewards of our home (nature) as we do to utilize the resources contained in it. And until we stop viewing tree huggers as hippy commies and hunters as evil murderers our house (nature) won’t be getting any cleaner or any better.
Until we stop thinking about nature in absolutes, we will continue to find it harder and harder to maintain, and live in, our home.
That certainly would appear to be the situation.
So why are so many still enamored of this party, the vast majority will not be able to enjoy the tax cutting the party is espousing. They are actually the ones that are paying the bills.
Moss appreciation 👍
WHUUUUUUMMMPPPPHHHH. !
wait for it the concussive wave, (that would be the pressure wave you feel from lightning very close). OR I will truly hope ::::: happens in the minds of more peoples.
Been in this situation. It also took me YEARS to figure out, because Nobody talks above this stuff in the open.
As I sit here at my two hour Spravato treatment, I’m thinking about how we talk about depression and whose job it is to do scicomm and health comm about depression.
I’ve had clinical suicidal depression for 24 years, I’ve been in therapy, done inpatient, taken meds, done treatments. I know a lot about it and can help people with the process. I love being a resource for friends new to navigating the options.
But I don’t want to be The Depression Person. Depression is just some background noise that gets in the way of who I actually am. I wanna talk prairie and plants and history!
I hate talking about my depression and suicidiality. I don’t care about receptors and inhibitors and brain chemistry. I don’t want to make work about it. I get rip-roaring furious talking about anti-medication activism, discourse and stigmas around getting help. I have zero interest in getting into it about The Psychiatry Industry, pharmaceuticals, or insurance.
So what action should I take? As a beneficiary of this complex and nuanced field of depression treatment, as a person who uses images to communicate, what am I morally obliged to do? Should I use my experience to educate people? Wouldn’t that make me a corpo shill? A pharma shill? A psychiatry apologist?
I hate that objective, concrete quality of life improvements I have had will be met with hostility and bad faith responses. I’m afraid of the inevitable backlash any depression treatment educational material I make will have. This seems especially pertinent as we in the US are going to have RFK, a man who has explicitly targeted antidepressants, as part of our government. What is my obligation here? What is the right thing to do?
Idk man. I just want to draw and talk about plants. But it sure would have been nice if I had known any of this depression stuff like, a decade earlier.
Interesting mode of protesting corporate behavior ! !
Kellogg’s is making a Twitch channel for Tony the Tiger as a vtuber. It is the moral duty of everyone who can spare the time to do so to spam the most vile, repulsive, unabashedly horny nonsense in the chat, such that this cannot be maintained. Hold the line against the continual corporate takeover of our media. Become unprofitable.
TO SHUT THE FUCK UP. Nobody wants to hear your nonsensical, marginally sentient, Constitutionally misinterpreted, drivel about how you get to, for all intent and purposes, fuck all of your fellow citizens in the ass with a claw hammer because you have “rights”
Until you want to add “I have responsibilities” to the conversation, I don’t want to here a fucking word emanate from your yap.
I LOVE this description!
Having been,on occasion, the person tied into a tree with the chainsaw in hand; you have got to KNOW/LIVE that knowledge or bad things will happen.
Well done. Accolades. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
tyler, at the point where torsion is not applied makes a shallow pie cut(open face), The compression wood is then somewhat relieved, this opens the tree up for barber chairing which can be extremely fatal. The part I decieded to film at is when he stepped and bucked down into a lower and more ducked position incase of minor barber chairing which can occur but isn’t likely if you make your cuts right. Hickory like this is strong meaning a 5% hinge is critical. burrow cut/plunge cut into the center than move tword the face cut to make a 5% hinge. the back wood and the hinge spot are what we call fiber plates that are holding that tree together, the back is under tension, the hinge under compression. after moving forward to leave 5 % hinge, cut backwards in the plunge cut tword yourself till a tension fiber plate of 5% is remaining. When their is still potential for spring loading your spar/snag while bucked in, it isn’t wise to continue your borrow/ plunge cut out the back twords your face as you can buckle your arms and saw chuck your face or not get your saw out fast enough to prepare for the pop and release. Tyler is tied in to a tree adjacent to him but on MRS/DRT and not as a trunk anchor and not in the best spot, it’s back up so he doesnt whip if he gaphs or spikes out from spring back. The other method used often is called double bucking with a sinching method or spar anchor to prevent this. Either way you never cut twords your face on a spring loaded spar/snag. Tyler than finishes the back fiber plate off full throttle with a simple back cut. static lowers his chainsaw after knuckle pucking the chainbrake foreward and rushes to brace pushing away from the spar as it crashes to the grown missing the targets near by and freeing it’s self from the tree its few tips were tangled in.
IMO. : Most of them are brain dead now. That’s how much useful interaction you get from them anyway, just my opinion. 🤣
Someday, most Facebook accounts will belong to dead people. Click to read the full fact.
An observation hiking, Out and about a couple days ago.
Not all that unusual of a sight, except that was in Wisconsin on January 17th (above the 45th parallel) , the temperature was 34F. The only time the temperature was above 27F in the previous nine days and every day since. That little guy should be hibernating this whole time. ! Today started out at -3F. It’s COLD.
Sailboat obscured
OMFG !
I fucking hate this I hate that human beings who want to build and create and live life are forced to waste their lives fighting for meaningless timewaster jobs while the positions of artists and actors and musicians and painters are replaced by plagiarism machines and algorithms and nothing you work to pay for belongs to you I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it if a robot can do our jobs then why the FUCK aren't we living
