Les Hirondelles

News from  https://t.me/hirondelles Deux semaines se sont écoulées depuis notre départ temporaire de Pontareuse. Les négociations sont en cours et nous vous en parlerons bientôt ! En attendant davantage de graines à se mettre sous le bec, voici quelques jolies images du jardin des Hirondelles, dorloté malgré les aléas du froid. On en profite pour teaser qu'en fin de semaine, nous ferons probablement - mais sans certitude - un repas collectif dans la région à base de patates et de gras. Confirmation et plus d'infos suivront! Also: PIQUE-NIQUE & JARDINAGE / PICNIC & GARDEN Mardi 29 avril / 12H Tuesday 29 April / 12pm Welcome at the garden of L'AMAR to share a picnic and gardening !

Cholita Isabel on Yaca Yaca

It's like a cross between a carrot and yucca that grows wild on the altiplano. Subscribe to  Cholita Isabel . I searched for references to yaca yaca and altiplano and in the process came across this paper: Aymara Biologicals and Other Medicines : I was unable to find anything on Google relating to the Cronica Botanica article mentioned in footnote 2. I also came across this 120 page article written in 1870 (On the 21st June): On the Aymara Indians of Bolivia and Peru I found many references to Sorata in those 120 pages, including this astonishing one: See  Jeremy Narby - My life as a white vampire: Gringos, Amazonians and the antidote of reciprocity .

Yoko Ono - Music of the Mind

On the way in I met two girls in the shop and one of them was telling the other something about a photo of John and Yoko.

Mossy Earth - Strangler Figs

Image
I think that's what it's about, but I haven't watched it yet. I have a theory that these trees are the reason that so many palms in the Amazon have such amazingly long, poisonous spines. To discourage fig-eating birds from sewing the strangler figs seed in their crowns. I'm just guessing though. Not about the toxicity and sharpness of the spines though, that is from personal experience. [I didn't know about their asynchronous fruiting and dependence on the difference species of wasps for pollination. That's a complicated control system.] See also  Mossy Earth Project in Ecuador .

Philanthropy

Image
I just met a severely disabled man begging in the street. He was collecting for the blind, he said, and he assured me that everything goes to charity. "I do take a percentage cut, but that's how charity works". I feel ashamed that I gave him so little. Then I tried to back up some photos and I got this helpful box from Microsoft File Explorer, I presume: Then I tried again: Finally, the phone tells me I shoud probably back up the SD card, ... That's what I was trying to do!   This book looks well-written and well-reaearched.

Eleanor Goldfield - Everyone Loves Some Censorship, Right?

See her podcast on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/102218413 : It's quite clear that our government loves censorship, but it is kinda nice when someone we don't like gets censored, right? Examining the weapon of censorship as one that can never be wielded against only our enemies, the dependent relationship between censorship and propaganda, and why confronting dumb and dangerous ideas is the only real way to shut them down.

Rachel Macdonald Talks With Erin Remblance on Social Tipping Points

Image
See  https://www.planetcritical.com/  and  https://www.rebiz.io/ . At 15:00 Rachel mentions Jason Hickle and "degrowth". In the subsequent discussion about the link between GDP and energy use and material throughput they seem to be making some unstated assumption about the value of money. See  Demonstrations in Switzerland in the Sixties and Seventies . 5:29 "There huge chunks of the economy that are not based on social progress or human need." And the problem is that the global economy is one interconnected system so that all other parts that may be seem to be about social progress and human need are dependent on those huge chunks that are based on corporate greed.
