  • I came here to say this! My chickens love pumpkins. If you know anyone who has goats they will demolish then. Aaaand You can also cube them or puree them and add them to dog food. With an appropriate ratio of animal protein.

    For cat food you can boil and blend some chicken with a little bit of pumpkin and salt by weight. It comes out like a pate’ and my cat loves it. Vet aproved if you stick with the correct ratios.

    If you have dogs that like to chew and shred you can cut a hole in one to get it started and let them have at it outside.

    I also highly reccomend calabaza en tacha as a dessert. Shit is sooo fucking good and really simple to make.

    I used to grow pumpkins, but this time of year so many are being thrown out at stores that i just dive them now.





  • I should also say, I’m not sure what kind of luggage you have, if you have a Hardcase, a hiking backpack, or a cloth military type bag. But you absolutely need to make sure that’s clean before you put them back in. If it can be tossed in a dryer, that’s ideal but if it’s a hardcase or a case with any kind of liner that you can remove you’re going to need to spray the fuck out of it and let it dry, then wipe it out, or Scrub it by hand in a bathroom. Don’t sleep on pockets in that bag, or any of your shoes. This process sucks and you don’t want to have to repeat it or contaminate your next place.

    I know you may not have access to a shower in between those loads of laundry but you’re gonna feel a whole lot better if you can at least take a “truckstop bath” between swapping the contam and the heated clothes.

    Lastly, any item that you do have to toss. Please, please, sharpie bedbugs on it so nobody pulls it out of the trash and tries to re use.


  • Bedbugs are a bear to get rid of, you’re not going to successfully get rid of bedbugs in a rental. Period. That being said, you and all of your belongings are now contaminated. High heat will nuke them on your clothing. So here’s what you can do do decontam yourself and not bring them to the next place and not trash everything you own. Take all of your luggage and drop that in a garbage bag. Grab a can of bed bug spray for your shoes and head to a laundromat with some spare plastic bags.

    Remove one entire set of clothes. And throw them in a dryer on the highest setting or an hr. Take your shoes off and spray the fuck out of them outside. If you don’t have a good spot to leave them to dry outdoors. Put them in a second bag and take them with you. Take the rest of your cloth belongings and toss them in a dryer on high for at least an hr. Throw away the bag, when the first set of clothes are dry and you’re done handling any cloth that could be contaminated. Check through everything you own and make sure you spray down anything that cant be washed and that you’re not missing any cloth items. Very carefully strip. Put your current clothes in a bag and, tie that fucker up tight. Set the contaminated bags far away from your current clothes and then nuke those in the dryer. This will get rid of them on your luggage and body. Bear in mind those Fuckers jump so be careful with the swaps. I have absolutely done this while homeless/on the road. It sucks but you don’t actually have to throw everything you own away.



  • And why are judges so harsh on sentencing women defending themselves or others?

    It’s also worth noting that the pedophile here was an ex cop. 40% of police families experience domestic violence. That study was done by cops self reporting their own violent behavior and abuse btw.

    Men who kill their spouses for any reason serve an average of 2-5 year prison sentences, while women who kill their partners in self-defense serve an average of 15 years.

    The deeper you delve into these statistics, the more harrowing the facts become.

    Abusers are given light sentences while their victims are hit with the book, including women who have found out their partners have been sexually abusing children and snap.

    None of this is to even start delving into the racial biases woven into the fabric of the US prison industrial system.

    Another fun fact, approximately 77% of women incarcerated for murder were abused by their alleged victims.

    That statistics follows approximately 77% of women incarcerated across the US legal system for any reason are themselves domestic abuse survivors.

    Below is an article that highlights additional statistics and stories about the reality of sentencing disparities.

  • The tomatoes on the far right is one of a million batches of cherry tomatoes, they got cut in half and dehydrated some of them canned for sundried tomatoes in olive oil with basil and garlic. SOme get vacuum packed for use throughout the winter. The tomatoes in the wooden crate are the big boys that got canned for crushed tomatoes. Not pictured but the same week was a massive batch of pickled banana peppers, a bunch of purple cabbage that got sour krouted, a half bushel of jalepenos for cowboy candy, and a bunch of hot peppers that got dehydrated. Gonna make the rest of the super hots into hot sauce.

















  • So I can give you the rough proportions, but I eyeball it at this point.

    Take a hearty glug of oil or lard and throw it in the bottom of a ripping hot pan, throw a diced onion in, and your rice. You’re going to want to stir and shake the pot constantly until a few of the grains of raise are golden brown and the rest have turned white. Get them all nice and toasty. Just before that point I throw in a handful or so of finely diced cilantro stems just until they bloom. I have a pitcher of water and tomato consume’ or knorr tomato seasoning at the ready before I throw everything in the pot. So when everything is done I flush the rice with the water and stock powder, I bring that to a light boil and then throw it on the back burner, barely simmering until done. Sometimes I’ll throw some red beans or diced tomatoes, green peppers/whatever chilis I pull out of my garden but thats it. Finish with chopped cilantro. I know that’s kind of chaotic, so let me know if you want me to clarify anything!



  • I have 11 hens and a rooster. Im getting almost a dozen eggs a day right now, but that’s not usually the case. Those Lil ladies are spoiled. Definitely happy. I built them a chicken jungle gym i keep adding too and they roam around and get fed a ludicrous amount of veggies scraps from the garden.
