Měto Balašk :ivory_boost:<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Storytime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Storytime</span></a>. Ich habe wenig Hoffnung für den Einzelhandel in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Berlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Berlin</span></a>. Wollte heute eine Hose kaufen. Erste Frage: Sind das hier alles Herrenhosen? Zurück kommt Augenrollen, "Ja, natürlich!". Fängt ja gut an. Levis 555 gefällt, leider teuer mit 130€. Ob sie denn länger hält, als eine billige etwa von H&amp;M? "Pfff ne, Jeans ist Jeans, hält immer gleich". Ob es sich lohnt, dann so viel Geld auszugeben? "Musst sie ja nicht kaufen." – Naja, ich bin dann gegangen. Ohne neue Hose.</p>

daieno bika<p>The <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/maple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maple</a> trees aren’t just <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/sap" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sap</a> spigots. I don’t think I fully realized how many organisms interact with them before I moved to New England and started experiencing the process of tapping them. Here is <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/moss" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moss</a>. Here is <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/lichen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lichen</a>. There might be a hollow where someone has stashed their acorns. </p><p>Checking the sap buckets shows me the soft little <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/moths" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moths</a>, grey and brown and black, that come to rest there and fall in. I rescue them and tuck them into bark crevices to wait for nightfall in a safer place. Sometimes there are little beetles as well. Later in the season when things are warming up and the sap is about to slow down, the <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/minerbees" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MinerBees</a> come. After a dunk in the sap, they sit in the sun and clean themselves. I didn’t know miner bees existed before I started finding them in the sap buckets. </p><p>There’s a dying maple in the front yard of our co-op’s common house. One trunk fell down a couple years ago. Another is still standing, but dead. The surrounding branches are large and provide cover around that central <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/snag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snag</a>, which is I suspect the reason the woodpeckers and smaller birds like to sit there so much - they can hide from the hawks <em>and</em> get a bug snack.</p><p>I used to dislike the maple trees. Their leaves become toxic to <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/horses" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horses</a> when they wilt, you see, and a very nice horse I knew when I was a child died when a storm brought down a maple branch in his pasture. He ate all the leaves and it took us days to notice the branch and figure out why he was sick. By then it was too late to save him, because he had already died. His friend, my horse, grieved for months. (I still grieve, in a less acute way. You never forget this sort of thing.)</p><p>Now I view that experience as a reminder that horses are not <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/native" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#native</a> to this area. When I think about <a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/pasturemanagement" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PastureManagement</a>,, I also think about how the horses and I can work with the land without trying to make it something it isn’t. I try to avoid having too many maples in the horses’ areas. But the maples were here first, and when we cut them they sprout back with so many more leaves at ground level that we’d have to rip out the whole stump to truly get <em>rid</em> of them. </p><p>So maybe, sometimes, it’s better to leave a tree in place. We can route the fencing so that dropped branches and fallen trees are likely to land outside the horse zone. We can walk the fences and make sure nothing’s down after windy weather. We can watch the horses and be aware that strange behavior could be maple poisoning, so the vet doesn’t have to start from square one when time is of the essence to save a life. </p><p>Is there still a risk of deadly snacking? Always. There are so many plants that horses cannot digest safely, for one reason or another. But mitigating the risks is a nuanced thing. It’s not even good for the horses to live on a perfectly groomed monoculture. So we work with the land we have, and we respect the fact that <em>we</em> are the ones out of place as best we can. </p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://akkoma.steadhaven.xyz/tag/storytime" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StoryTime</a></p>

Eine <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Geschichte" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geschichte</span></a> von Aufstieg, Macht, Familie und Erbe. Sie beginnt im Jahr 1872, in einer kleinen Holzhütte in Puerto Rico. Dort wurde mein Urgroßvater geboren: Pedro Rodríguez Torres. Ein Bauernjunge ohne Reichtum, ohne Bildung – aber mit einem unerschütterlichen Willen.

Rasta<p>As I drove back to town, waiting at the traffic lights, the view of the Kurhaus in front of me, the radio was playing a new hit by Eddy Grant. </p><p>The rental van had no Air-conditioning, so I had the windows down, blaring this through the region of Baden-Württemberg </p><p>♫ Electric Avenue ♫ <br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/NowPlaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowPlaying</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/NSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSR</span></a> Eddy Grant <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtPk5IUbdH0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=vtPk5IUbdH0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> 1982</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Storytime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Storytime</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Thread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thread</span></a></p>
Rasta<p>There were people everywhere, the restaurant and control room parts of the mountain top were in full swing, tourists and crowds everywhere. <br>No longer restricted by the long winding road around the mountain, tourists were at the top in 20 minutes. There was nothing I wanted to see now, and I took the tram back down. It felt kind of weird to be all hyped up, then totally deflated in the end. </p><p>This happens every time I return to a childhood memory. Nothing stays the same. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Storytime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Storytime</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Thread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thread</span></a></p>
