The 10th Kingdom (2000)

the fact that walls get dusty is ridiculous. you're vertical. act like it.

And if I said Richard Alpert is hot? What then?

Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.

hi,

i am tempted to ask about you being "a fan of agriculture"

what do you mean by that?

Fantastic question that I’m happy to answer!

Short answer: I like food!

Long answer:

I truly believe that agriculture is one of the foundations of civilization and that being able to find ways to sustainably feed a community/population to the point that they can focus on building other aspects of the world around them (art, music, architecture, etc) is such an amazing thing we have managed to do.

Do I think agriculture industries anywhere in the world are perfect? No. Like medicine- agriculture is a #practice. It is constantly evolving with the world around it and that in itself is something to admire.

BUT I so deeply respect anyone who dedicates their life to raising crops and animals with such meticulous care. Especially when the work they do goes toward supporting communities that will never fully appreciate the scale, care, decisions, and work that goes into the balancing act of producing enough to make a living. And then to take that living they made and turn it immediately back to do it again??? Insane. Outstanding. And if you ask them why they do it??? Because someone has to. Despite being under constant scrutiny and having so much misinformation being spread by anyone and everyone (usually unintentionally but still) they just KEEP DOING IT?

And agriculture is so much on top of the actual growing of crops or livestock. There are endless opportunities for careers and connections to agriculture. Everyone is tied to it even if they have never stepped foot on a farm or ranch (a tragedy). If you ate food or put clothes on your body those things all came from agriculture.

Not to mention all of the intricacies of each specific agriculture and natural resources pathway/area. All full of people who are passionate about what they do and making sure they do it better than ever with even less resources.

*DEEP BREATH*

So anyway you could say I’m a casual fan.

Please tell me that y'all won't go back to tiktok once Trump gets whatever nefarious concessions he wants from the company and "saves" it. Like, you all NEED to stay gone. Stay on Xiaohongshu or move to other platforms or create a new one or whatever, but don't go back to whatever Trump-appeasement monstrosity TikTok is about to become. Don't do it.

If I was a teacher, I would make a list of false statements and then have my kids write a paper proving that the statement is false. Examples of false statements might be:

[State Im teaching in] has no Rowen trees.

Singapore outlawed the sale of teriyaki sauce

The word biscuit comes from bi meaning two and cuit meaning baking pan

Wearing your hair in pigtails can cause head cancer

A turtle sheds its shell like a hermit crab

Because all those things are kinda hard to disprove and it teaches kids research and misinformation and how to build a case. Also theres lots of ways they could find 'proof'

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it

Repeat after me: - Veganism is not affordable - Veganism is not cruelty free - Veganism is not the best choice for everyone

what’s it called when you’re so disconnected from reality that cold water doesn’t feel like anything and you can barely taste food anymore
