I came of age in a time when everything was completely uncertain, and I’m happy to be part of a new generation that’s turning things over, but we were turning things over while print floundered and wondered what to do with itself. And it had been the stalwart thing, this very, very reliable dependable thing for generations, print. And we watched it die from up on our hill of youth. You kind of get the sense that you’re not safe. That’s coming for you, too, but you don’t know what it looks like for you. That’s kind of bleak, I suppose.
I spent a whole afternoon picking 600 dandelions to make dandelion honey 🙂 I got about 6 jars, using 1.5kg of sugar, 2 grapefruits, 1 orange and 2 lemons. The chickens helped a bit, if only by providing constructive criticism as I looked for good dandelion spots (though I think they assumed I was looking for worms.) The other animals helped not one bit.
