in vanessa machado de oliveira's book "hospicing modernity" (which i recommend!), she has a whole chapter about her discomfort w/composting toilets, & her attachment to toilets, & sort of working through that.

it's the first book i've seen that deals w/a very real problem: if you're not used to dealing w/your own waste, it can be a huge dealbreaker.

again, i don't love dealing w/my own poop either, but it's a part of life. plus, my waste (properly composted) is food for plants.

from her perspective, she doesn't understand why i am "drawn" to "gross" things, or "dirty things" or "ugly" things. she likes ~beautiful things~.

it's not that i particularly like spreading chicken manure, it's that i love helping the plants grow & i recognize that for the price of FREE, i can give them what they need & help them grow (while also solving my neighbor's problem of having chicken waste that he didn't want to use).

yesterday my mom video-called me when i was in the garden. she asked what i was doing, & i said that i was spreading around composted scrapings from my neighbor's chicken coops (aka, straw mixed with chicken poop). when these scrapings dry out & get spread in the garden, the plants *love* it.

she told me that it's gross & that she likes ~nice things~. i said "but it's good for the garden." she didn't care.

i, myself, have been wading in the great garbage continuum. i recently finished clearing out the original location of our junk pile, & have set up a tidy new junk pile in another area i like better.

the old area now has old wood & cardboard. with our rain, it'll decompose fast. i plan to use that space for starters & sproutlings in pots (because it's just flat rock under there, which is one reason why we initially picked that spot for garbage). yay cleanup!!

work continues on my zine series about the great garbage continuum: that swirling cosmic cycle of stuff where things move from being "materials", to "useful", to "junk", and beyond...

here's a preview from one of the #zines in the series: "wading in the great garbage continuum"

as part of my #zine series on the great garbage continuum, i'm working on a zine about the "thousand year cleanup" that we'll be coming into. there's just going to be so much to clean...

in theory, extractive industries clean up when they're done with a particular place. in practice, when they're done sucking up the resources, they abandon equipment & leave poison ponds & huge dangerous holes in the ground.

they just abandon it!! and if you want it to not be a poison hole forever, usually it's the gov that pays. IF someone pushes VERY hard for it, for many years, usually with lawsuits.

i have a number of #zines in progress about the great garbage continuum: the great cosmic flow of garbage, where things move from being "materials" to "useful" to "junk" to "gross" and then onward..

we are all in the great garbage continuum. the relationship b/w the cycle of life & the ggc is very complex.

anyway, i keep getting more zine ideas about it, like "with all projects, start them with the understanding that you'll eventually have to clean it up."
