Not “Only My Reading Of Canon Is Correct” Or “Interpretations Are Subjective And All Valid” But

So. Storytime for guerilla gardeners and solarpunk enthusiasts. This story comes to me 3rd hand but I believe the basic shape of it is true, even if details may be off.

So there’s this guy who lives in my parents’ town. Wanted to have a pocket farm but lives on an urban lot in a small city instead because y’know jobs and stuff. He could definitely get a few raised beds in the backyard but nothing all that impressive and the front yard is on a very busy road with the expectation that it’ll look reasonably traditional (plus planting food by busy roads isn’t always a good idea).

However

After he’s lived there for a while, he realizes his neighbors are all older people who maybe have more challenges taking care of their yards than they used to. So he goes to his next door neighbor and offers a deal: I’ll mow and maintain your front yard for free if you let me knock down the fences between our backyards and plant them both with food. And you’ll get a cut of the produce.

Presumably the neighbor already knew and trusted this guy because he said yes. So he starts mowing and maintaining his and his neighbor’s front yards and planting food in their now-shared backyards. After a season or two this goes well enough that the next neighbor down the street asks if he can be in on this too.

So now there’s 3 front yards to mow and three backyards full of produce. And it keeps going from there. Dude gets a rider lawnmower and does everyone’s front yards, and meanwhile he’s maintaining an entire block’s worth of produce in the back. His yields got so high that he was able to start offering boxes of produce outside of the block’s residents too. This is how I heard of him: my parents’ next door neighbors were picking up a regular box of produce from him.

I love a couple of things about this story:

Offering to maintain people’s front yards for them allows baby boomers to feed their thirst for keeping up appearances while still getting food production into the neighborhood

As homeowners age offering services like this is legitimately good community building

BLOCK-LONG POCKET FARM

These exact circumstances might not be replicable everywhere, but I love thinking about how these principles could be applied.

forgot to post this a bit ago uhhh yoppie flower husbands!

PLEASE REBLOG!!! ^_^

okay but I do want to know why Kusuo never bothered to learn how his limiters work. Supposedly, he helped design them, but he doesn’t know how to fix them himself, implying Kuusuke did most of the work.

Saiki is fully capable of getting full marks on his test. He’s good at solving logical problems, as long as they don’t involve predicting people’s behavior.

I guess he just never had interest in engineering.

Which begs the question… what kinds of subjects are Saiki genuinely interested in? Possibly aviation. He’s a fan of a few JUMP serials. And obviously, pretending to be ‘normal.’ But what else?

go on watch severance DO IT

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

OMG Torisai AND cats!!!!!!! I'm in love 💕

Torisai kitties /ᐠ˵- ⩊ -˵マ

I think I've fully developed an obsession for torisai. Quick someone, stop me!

An immortal museum curator Who has been making exhibits based on her friends when they passed. For generations they were always beautiful and complex representing their emotions and interests, thier soul even. There has always been one huge exhibit in the empty centre of the museum, one day the museum closes down for renovation. you enter the museum a couple weeks later to find the exhibit has been filled. It has hundreds of items, all hand picked, it has letters of their life on display and sitting on a podium in the center of it is a small box containing a wedding ring.

The curator comes out to give a speech herself for the first time since the museum’s opening. As she speaks you notice a ring on her finger matching the one in the box
