This dance is called the Dabke if anyone wants to know more! I’m pretty sure the above version is from somewhere in Palestine, but it’s also a huge deal in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. According to legend, it originated in stamping on the dirt roofs in the houses of the region to compact the mixture of clay and straw and became a dance eventually.

THESE SPINS!!!! I’m screaming!

You know that post about how angels and telephone towers are biologically compatible? That’s how I feel about overgrown plants and industrial machines.

These two things can and SHOULD make offspring.

Do you WANT kudzu cables?

Do you WANT invasive machinery to bury your city?

Do you WANT to be entombed in wires until you can't tell where "you" end and "we" begin?

I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades

but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"

so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are

The mildest example of what OP's talking about in Dunedin, Aotearoa:

This is just with the streetlamp equivalent of using lampshades. Imagine what truly directional city lights could achieve?

Reblogging this again cause light pollution actually have negative health affects on humans and wildlife. We weren't meant to live in a world constantly bathed in light.

Dave Brandt was so much more than a meme. He partnered with universities to experiment with and expand soil conservation and cover crop techniques, worked to educate other farmers through worldwide conventions and direct mentorship, founded the Soil Health Academy, and was called the "Obi-Wan Kenobi of soil health" by the chief of the USDA's conservation department.

There is no healthy planet without healthy ag practices, and this guy was a legend.
