People on the far left and far right have this misty-eye false nostalgia for #primitive #agriculture. They ignore the #GreenRevolution is what makes feeding everyone possible and fear #GMOs. I got news for you, the past was the worse. You know what they call everyone relying on a tiny plot of land to grow food on? #SubsistenceFarming, and it sucks. You can't feed a large population like that. And if anything goes wrong, you get #famine. That shit is not sustainable. Pull you heads out.

A small talk #introduction

I'm a #Queer #LifeModel who does #Watercolours (mostly buildings I've visited) and #Pitfired #Ceramic #Sculpture (mostly human forms). I also work at a med school and I'm involved in arts #UnionOrganising

I used to be a #SW pre-covid when I lived in a city, but there are no venues for a 300km radius and I was very much venue based.

I've been happily married for nearly a decade. We have a #CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel and two ex street cats both named after the same dead white guy (we all make decisions when we're young). We fostered a third cat for a short while and she was also named after the same dead white guy.

We live in a 1910 cottage. It's in livable condition but needs a lot of work, which we're learning to do. We're a full day's travel from any major city (on the bright side we're a fairly equal distance from three capital cities).

Small scale #SubsistenceFarming is pretty standard around here as fresh food availability is low and intermittent. I have a bit of farming experience from past employment and am currently working on maintaining the existing #Orchard and building a large #VegetableGarden
