Yea there are electrochemical methods of destroying PFAS that are pretty new but they are not cheap/commodity technologies yet. Eroding safety regs slows the development of this kind of technology because the potential market becomes smaller and investors don't want to invest as much.

The garden is so alive right now, there are so many insects and birds and seeds flying around in the air. I love it

large parts of the the classical world were slave societies, including pompeii. that level of sexual exploitation really strikes me as at odds with 'sexual liberation'

I started reading 'the sexual politics of meat' recently and it's good. it's been a while since I read academic writing that wasn't history/socialist lit so it's nice to stretch some other muscles. the concept of the 'absent referent' is really useful, not just in the context of veganism/feminism. it seems right up the alley of the citations needed guys when they talk about how the corporate media covers imperial warmongering and war crimes.

also I really liked this sentence, by far the most grad school thing I've read in years, "Could metaphor itself be the undergarment to the garb of oppression?"

oh cool. I've thought about collecting fiddleheads but I'm always so happy to see the ferns come back in the spring. sumac and mustard garlic sounds like a good combo.

I've been eating the oil soaked balls with crackers/bread recently and it's pretty good. I ate a fair amount of the stuff before I put herbs/oil on it and while good, it is better with the oil & herbs. After being in the oil for a while the tanginess has mellowed. I think if I do this again I will leave it to ferment longer, as I assume it's like kimchi in that it'll get more and more funky over time.

It definitely benefits from being eaten with other stuff like olives, walnuts, veggies etc and not just bulgur cheese + bread/crackers. bulgur cheese+bread feels unbalanced, like the 'yo dawg we heard you like carbs' meme or a hat on a hat.

MoA is a personal blog but RUSI is a legit British military think tank and Vershinin is one of their think tankies.
