  • Curtains are a god send. Make sure you have them to isolate things coming into and out of your house. So have a curtain to isolate your entry way. That way the heat stays there. Same things at the stairs so you can keep the cool in the baseline while you stay there

    Also to note that depending on your house and the outside temp its not worthwhile to open the windows at night. But generally it is better. Make sure you have a fan in the window blowing the hot air out as well. Its best if its upstairs to draw the cool air in.






  • If you are kinky and are feeling bad about I would highly recommend you start listening and reading to my boy Dan Savage America’s longest running sex-advice columnist. Hearing and understanding other people’s kinks will put your own into perspective and you will understand that the only thing typical about human sexuality is how atypical it is. Almost everyone has at least 1 “non-normative sexual desires” so keep that it mind.

    How do you get rid of kink? You don’t. You can’t. You can try but it will always come back. So you will need to understand this about yourself and accept it. Sexuality has been keep our species alive and fucking since before we were Homo sapiens. You can’t fight it.

    There is a potential to pivot a kink if you understand what it is about the kink that turns you on. If you are interested in humilating and degrading the root of this may just be a power exchange. Power exchange is pretty typical and almost all kinks have an aspect of that which may fulfill that itch for in person sex. You also can keep a kink to yourself even in a relationships. So you might be “out” about being into a submissive role but not share you are in degradation with your partner.

    If you are interested in learning more I would recommend you read The New Bottoming Book and the The New Topping Book by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy. (Note the cover change in these pdfs). They will really open your eyes about how kinks are not some curse but a fun quirk of your sexuality’s that gives your partners something fun to play with. Congratulations have Fun.

    You think that human developments didn’t occur in the Americas before European came in?

    Dandelions are a very human centric plant which makes sense that they traveled with humans as they traveled around the globe. This travel could be accidental or brought on purpose like many other different plants.


  • If you have a dandelion problem I would recommend you mulch / mow the dead dandelions you pull back into your yard. Dandelions are a dynamic accumulator which means they are very good at pulling up vitamins and minerals from the soil which they incorporate into their roots leaves, etc. This means dandelions will contain those minerals when being mulched and mowed back into your yard. If you are having a dandelion problem it likely mean your yard needs one or more of the minerals that they accumulate. So my mowing it back in you will feed your lawn and reduce their appear in the future


  • The gist from what I have read (mostly from Native American herbalists) is that there is a oral cultural tradition for using dandelion for both food and medicine in North America. These oral traditions have various uses for the plant that likely predate European settlement. The basic concept is that Europeans never considered that a plant that they had in Europe could appear in North America unless they brought it. It was never considered to be native in both places even though the people who used in North America have a long tradition of use back by an oral tradition. However, since this was an oral tradition no one thought to consider it valid since it wasn’t written down. Since this has been suggested there is some genetic studies that back up that concept.

    I found most of this information on the Dandelion section in Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask: Anishinaabe Botanical Teachings. They have a good description and I have seen it mentioned now in a few other books.
