we do not talk enough about the fact that ram finds out he's dying and immediately goes to bheem. like it's so obvious to him & to we the audience that that's what he's going to do that it doesn't even bother showing like a thought process. no hospital. no babai. no letters home no last ditch attempt to steal some guns no blaze of glory taking a thousand of the bastards with him no nothing. only bheem.

happy pub day to the little book that has occupied my brain for the past four years. my prayer for you and for us is that you live long enough to be called "Everything Was Tuberculosis."

A fundamental flaw of the human design is that we’re so complicated but also we like putting stuff in fun simple little categories. Like major glitch there. They should patch that.

Even when you know that things are complicated your brain still starts merrily humming along trying to figure out if yellow skittles belong in the green pile or the blue pile

Yellow goes into the green pile because yellow is used to create green and sit beside each other on the color wheel

On the other hand yellow and blue are both primary colors and components of green. And really if you have a pile of blue and yellow you just end up with two piles of green. One is just deconstructed.

And here we see exactly what I was talking about in action in real time

yellow goes in the yellow pile. because yellow isn't green or blue, it's yellow

None of you know what metaphors are and I’m spitting in your cereal.

Spit goes in the spit jar, cereal goes in the cereal bowl

The spit is already in your cereal. Your arbitrary sorting shatters at the slightest provocation.

For the past 64 years, Jim Enote has planted a waffle garden, sunken garden beds enclosed by clay-heavy walls that he learned to build from his grandmother. This year, he planted onions and chiles, which he waters from a nearby stream. It’s an Indigenous farming tradition suited for the semi-arid, high-altitude desert of the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico, where waffle gardens have long flourished and Enote has farmed since childhood.

“They are the inverse of raised beds, and for an area where it is more arid, they’re actually very efficient at conserving water,” said Enote, who leads the Colorado Plateau Foundation to protect Indigenous land, traditions, and water. Each interior cell of the waffle covers about a square foot of land, just below ground-level, and the raised, mounded earthen walls are designed to help keep moisture in the soil.

Similar sunken beds for growing food with less water have been used globally in arid regions, arising independently by Indigenous farmers, including across distinct Pueblo tribes in the Southwest. “When you have ecological equivalents you often have cultural equivalents,” said Enote. As climate change deepens, he sees this tradition as one of many ways to adapt while building food security and sovereignty.

How am I only just learning this!?
