Barkû Yaggin!

I have no idea where I was going with this, I was doodling during a conversation

Anyway yeah I'm glad for everyone who's able to ignore their CAGAB but I can't. I'm agender AND transfem, and being transfem affects my daily life in a specific way that I can't detach myself from.

I finished this one several weeks ago and forgot to post it.

Skills like gardening and food preservation and people around who can teach those skills can be a really important part of food security

In particular, access to gardening can really increase the quality of people's diets in areas where fresh vegetables and fruits are not as available.

If we want a world with quality clothing without sweatshops where fast fashion companies aren’t dumping unsold clothes in landfills we need to prepare for that now, even if it’s not the most convenient or practical. If a good percentage of the population can make, tailor, and/or repair clothes, people can use that leverage to fight for an ethical, sustainable fashion industry.

There’s a reason why places like Detroit are hubs of urban farming — because that’s what’s helped people survive after everything collapsed. There are real, actual people around the world who have and are using these skills to help their communities. Hunting and gardening allowed my parents to feed me and my siblings. Preserving food meant that we didn’t starve when ice storms resulted in us losing power for days to weeks at a time because nobody wanted to replace failing infrastructure. My local Master Gardeners donate nearly a thousand pounds of fresh vegetables each year to food banks — better quality and less ecologically damaging than the food bank could ever afford to buy.

Also, people’s mental health matters. Seeing real, tangible evidence that they can *do* something empowers people and gives them the ability to make more changes. And let’s be real, most people’s lives are not going to be improved by even more time at work.
