drinking “kill anything inside me, flush my system tea”: fresh prairie sage (artemisia ludoviciana) & osha/bear root tea (don’t buy or harvest osha/bear root, the root please. had this for like 5 years before I knew better. you can brew the same root 100s of times. stop the extinction of this plant)

working with some hawthorn medicine this morning to assist in grieving, generally feeling and moving emotions, puncturing illusions (hawthorn has thorns). i don’t use this medicine lightly, space is needed to be with the intense emotions that arise (kind of like mushrooms). tincture from berries
hawthorn tincture made from berries in a large repurposed glass container. the tincture is a few years old now, I made it myself. the tincture from the berries is so sweet.

Ahh yes, taking me back to my days of engaging with Capital as Power and their ideas around what political-economy really is

capitalaspower.com/casp-forum/t...
Text excerpt from capitalaspower.com page “The Stagflation Norm” “These data raise an obvious question: if stagflation is the norm and prices tend to rise in the midst of slack, then there is no material scarcity; but if there is no ‘real’ shortage, why are buyers willing to pay higher prices? The short answer is that usually they are not willing; they are forced. And the way to force them is by creating, imposing and maintaining various forms of social crisis, apparent or real. Examples of such crises: military hostilities during the WWI, the reparation crisis of Germany in the 1920s, the global oil crises of the 1970s, rising unemployment in Israel during the 1980, political instability in Russia in the 1990s, debt default in Argentina in the early 2000s, ‘peak commodities’ in the late 2000s, Covid19 in 2020-2 – these are all illustrations of such inflation-triggering crises. The key point is that these inflation-triggering crises might be real of fake, but they are rarely if ever crises of physical ‘scarcity’. In all of them, ‘scarcity’ is created not by lack of commodities, but by sellers raising their prices.”

today is cooking survival food i guess: sunchoke chips and flour-and-water-only bread
on the left a pan frying sliced sunchokes in bacon grease, in the back right some whole freshly-harvested sun chokes, and in the front right a mixing bowl with water and flour being mixed with a hand-carved spatula

quote from our dear elder in transition to ancestry calling out “primitivists” explicitly in much the same way i just articulated www.indigenousaction.org/unknowable-a...
Quote from “COLONIALUnknowable: Against an Indigenous Anarchist Theory” — Zine “Settler colonialism by definition is involuntary association. Colonizers who are anarchists still maintain an implicit position of domination over Indigenous Peoples and Lands, which is unmistakably contrary to anti-authoritarianism. This has been incongruously apparent in “primitivist,” green anarchist, and re-wildling tendencies that have been wrought with cultural appropriation, fetishism, and erasure. Without consent, without meaningful relationality with Indigenous Peoples, settler colonizer anarchists in the so-called U.S. will always have to face this deep contradiction. Anarchism, or any other political proposition for that matter, simply cannot be imposed or “re-wilded” on stolen lands.”
