Happy Transgender Day of Visibility! I hope every trans person has a great day, and I hope today can be a day of being proud, loud, and visible! I want every trans kid to know that there are trans people out here living amazing, happy, fulfilling lives - and that future is waiting for you too!

Some of y’all think that holding hands and sharing a bed is immediately romantic, and this is why people cannot differentiate between romantic, platonic, and familial forms of love.
This is only for the five people out there also obsessed with these two niche games too but Disco Elysium and Pathologic are basically the same game conceit taken it exactly opposite directions. Both games are about being an outsider coming into a small, weird town and trying to solve an increasingly dangerous problem on a time limit of a little over a week, which is mostly accomplished by talking to every weirdo in town until they finally do what you want. Which is a *very* specific premise to have in common! But it’s kinda incredible how swapping one mechanic dramatically changes each of the game’s vibes.
In Disco Elysium, time only progresses when you talk to people, and only if you are hearing new dialogue. With that, and the fact it’s really hard to not progress the story even if you avoid the main plot, you will inevitably be able to complete about everything the game has to offer for a single playthrough before the time limit. You have to go out of your way to be a bad detective to fail. The decision of what to do on any given day is largely dependent on whatever happens to be compelling to the player, and having to run around the far side of town doesn’t risk getting people killed.
Conversely, in Pathologic, an inversion of that aforementioned game mechanic creates a MASSIVELY different play style. Time is always progressing in Pathologic, outside of dialogue and save menus. The game is a routing simulator disguised as a psychological horror. You have two hours to talk to eight people on opposite sides of the map with about five different modifier potentially altering your optimal way of getting through town (are you hungry? do you need more bottles? is the district infected? etc.). There is NO fuck around time, maybe if you’re lucky you can take ten seconds to stare at the Polyhedron, but that’s about it.
It just stuck out to me as a case of how one technically minor change in a gameplay mechanic can entirely alter how you interact with the world. Sure, there’s a lot of other differences between the two, but this one change felt like a condensation of how each chooses to approach their premise.

15 reasons to build an herb spiral for your garden (By Jean Bardot, Natural News)
(By Jean Bardot, Natural News)
Whether you’re a city mouse or a country mouse — with a high-rise patio or 1000 acres — building an herb spiral near your kitchen allows you to partake in the sustainable permaculture revolution and have fresh organic culinary herbs at your fingertips. An herb spiral is a compact vertical garden built on specific principles allowing for individualized management of wind and water flow to create the ideal garden in a limited amount of space.
The spiral is a natural form that provides an efficient method for managing space, storing and sorting. Using the natural universal design of a spiral, the forces of gravity and water flow are utilized to their fullest allowing for proper drainage downhill. Herbs that thrive on drier soils live at the top, whereas those needing more moisture reside at the bottom where water collects. This form allows for planting of a widely diverse number of plants, and creates natural, sunny and shady areas — a perfect miniature microclimate landscape environment. The herb spiral as a permaculture form that allows you to create your own ecosystem and become self sufficient. The format can be adapted to large gardens if space is available.
Stone or block building materials allow for retention of heat and insulate plants in colder weather or at night, while acting as the backbone for the structure. Collect water at the bottom and have a small fish or frog pond or even a bog and grow edible water plants. An herb spiral can be built even on a concrete foundation and filled with the richest biodynamic, organic earth to support any plants included.
The spiral should always be built to move in the direction of water drainage in whatever hemisphere it’s located in — for example, in the Northern hemisphere, water runs off in a clockwise direction and the opposite is true for the Southern hemisphere. This allows for optimal positioning of the pond at the bottom and reduces evaporation. The spiral can be built as a round or oval shape to take advantage of the movement of summer sunlight.
15 REASONS TO BUILD AN HERB SPIRAL FOR YOUR PERMACULTURE GARDEN
1. Maximize growing space to grow more food. 2. Multiple microclimates available for optimal plant growth.
3. Healthier plants where growing needs are met and companion planting is easy to reduce insect problems and foster beneficial plant relationships for better growth. 4. Aesthetic garden focal point.
5. Maximizes space even in very small areas on top of concrete or in high-rise buildings. 6. Harvesting access is easy and all plants are effortlessly accessible. 7. No bending, everything is at waist height — hooray!
8. Save money by growing your own food. 9. Eat organic, using heirloom seeds and avoid pesticides and genetically engineered seeds. 10. Reduces maintenance, little weeding and easy to turn and mulch.
11. Manage water amounts and use natural forces to perpetuate the growing season. 12. Reduce building costs when you use local available materials. 13. Use drip irrigation or a small sprinkler for easy watering and irrigation.
14. Create a bio-diverse habitat for creatures who come to visit. 15. Build an herb spiral to grow medicinal herbs to avoid Big Pharm drugs.

And I don’t want to

Twist your head around
It’s all around you

¡¡¡¡NO ES MAREA ROJA!!!!
Hoy tengo la necesidad de compartir con ustedes la agonía que vive mi tierra, nos estamos muriendo, mi tierra se muere, el mar se muere, toda la biodiversidad, el ecosistema marino se muere y mi gente ya no tiene que comer y sí, les llamo mi gente, porque somos todos sureños, porque no podemos hacer la vista gorda y mirar hacia un lado haciendonos los hueones, es mi gente, yo como de ellos, ellos nos proveen de alimento, ellos son los mayores proveedores de pescados y mariscos de Santiago, del país y el gobierno y la tele nos quiere hacer creer que es un alga que contamina a los mariscos, pero no son solo los mariscos lo que se están muriendo, han varado ballenas, han muerto infinidades de especies de pájaros en peligro de extinción, playas llenas de peces muertos eso, eso NO ES MAREA ROJA.
En marzo, 9 toneladas de salmones muertos fueron arrojados a 75 millas del continente, por las salmoneras de la región, justo frente a las costas de Chiloé y después de 25 días comenzó la mortandad de especies, nos están cortando las manos!! LA MAREA ROJA NO MATA ESPECIES, NI PECES NI MARISCOS, NI NADA!! Esto es producto del envenenamiento que provocaron las salmoneras, envenenaron el mar con todos esos salmones llenos de químicos que fueron a arrojar, para qué?, con qué fin? y para que decir las miles de personas que fueron despedidas desde las plantas de procesamiento de las mismas salmoneras.
Puerto Montt, Calbuco, Maullin, Los Muermos, Fresia, Llanquihue, Puerto Varas, Chiloé, Frutillar, infinidades de localidades ya no tienen combustible y como es de esperar en estas situaciones, comenzará la especulación. El Gobierno quiere entregar un bono de 100 mil pesos a los pescadores, mariscadores, feriantes, etc. que ya llevan más de un mes sin poder trabajar, ellos creen que con 100 mil pesos, podrán comer, pagar sus cuentas, movilizarse? Cuánto gastaron en enviar a Fuerzas Especiales de Carabineros a Chiloé por aire, si ese dinero lo hubiesen usado para ayudar a mi gente las cosas serían diferentes, el Sur siempre ha sido el patio trasero del país, siempre hemos sido menospreciados, abandonados, olvidados o como quieran llamarlo, pero mi gente se cansó, se cansó de ser abusado por los peces gordos de las salmoneras, por el gobierno, por los poderosos de este país, nos cansamos de ser siempre menospreciados, mi gente va a luchar, porque si por algo nos caracterizamos los sureños es por ser testarudos, porfiados, cargantes.
¡AGUANTE SUREÑOS, EL SUR SE PRIVÓ!
DIFUNDIR PARA QUE NO NOS SIGAN MINTIENDO, MIENTRAS MÁS GENTE ENTERE, MEJOR!
Once - Once is Plenty
Saw this last weekend, and I had pretty high expectations for it, based on the word of mouth and reviews that I’d seen. I think it is a welcome relief in the heat of summer from the usual hollywood crap to see a small, cinema verite bittersweet romance make it to the multiplexes, which could account for its popularity with the starved moviegoing public. I was a bit underwhelmed. The music was ok, the male lead “guy” (Glen Hansard) who I had seen before as the guitar player in “the Commitments” was great, his singing was impassioned, his awkward mooning over the girl was believable, and his quiet relationship with his vacuum cleaner repairman father was cute. The “girl” on the other hand, I just didn’t see what he saw in her, her vocals and piano playing were a bit dull and wooden, her personality wasn’t really fleshed out very much - perhaps it was enough for her to just “like his music” (where did the money come from to rent to recording studio? I’m a bit unclear on that?). As for the film overall, a bit heavy on the MTV sequences (but probably more enjoyable to watch than more painfully awkward conversations). The ‘Dublin Street Musician’ culture that we got a glimpse of in the beginning was kind of quirky and interesting, and on the plus side, the movie really knew how not to overstay its welcome, clocking in under 90 minutes (ending just about at the point where I was checking my wife’s luminous watch to see how much more of the movie we had coming).
In retrospect I may have been overly harsh with this one, for personal reasons - was just not in the mood for a movie about a male/female songster collaboration.
