“An old joke has an Oxford professor meeting an American former graduate student and asking him what he's working on these days. 'My thesis is on the survival of the class system in the United States.' 'Oh really, that's interesting: one didn't think there was a class system in the United States.' 'Nobody does. That's how it survives.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“Atheism by itself is, of course, not a moral position or a political one of any kind; it simply is the refusal to believe in a supernatural dimension.”

“I prefer rationalism to atheism. The question of God and other objects-of-faith are outside reason and play no part in rationalism, thus you don’t have to waste your time in either attacking or defending.”

compost, to gardening
@compost@regenerate.social avatar

So far my experiment on using chopped weeds in the aisles of our garden beds is a success. I have put a quite deep cover of this material.

No weeds are regrowing over the cover as long as it is maintained. When we have flash flood events it holds together and is not being washed away by the rain. The aisles are not flooded as they used to be because the soil was too compacted.

So because I did that on a small area to test this option, I will expand it to the whole garden.

@compost If you are close to any winery, check with them on the squeezings. Highly acidic and will overpower a garden but pathways and garden borders it is strong stuff. I had a friend with a winery in Las Cruces and he found out the hard way. 🙂

“People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is just be a little kinder.”

“The mob was only a means to strengthen their position, to give their voices a greater resonance. Obviously they neither could nor wanted to organize the mob, and would dismiss it once their aim was achieved. But they discovered that antisemitic slogans were highly effective in mobilizing large strata of the population.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
