Odd Stuff (Part 4)

It took my brain a second to read it as intactivism as opposed to inactivism! :laughing:

I’d probably stick with the non-fiction books I listed, if for no other reason than [in my imagined role as the head of the U.S. EPA] I’d want to convey that these books–Gaviotas and Mycelium Running at least–are IRL roadmaps, successful projects completed by living breathing mortal humans who get measurable, useful, tested results. They are handles for the ecological breakdown current lifeforms on this planet face.

I guess if I were to pick something allegorical, I could get a first edition of Frank Herbert’s Dune which I appreciate as far as making ecology a religion goes, but I’ve kinda grown out of Herbert. These days I’m more likely to pick Winona LaDuke’s All Our Relations.

I like the expression of the man on the right. “So, do you want me to shoot it, or…no, I guess you’ve got this?”

The other guy is about to set everything on fire. I assume shooting a flaming, rabid angry otter in a tent wouldn’t really help a lot.

That’s a dangerous stretch of road to be traveling on a Friday night on your lawnmower. It’s the only primary artery besides I-75 which doesn’t even border on The Villages. And there’s several stores within the complex!
