Right? I found out from this video. The recipe in the post body was one I riffed, but search for banana peel curries or banana peel carnitas as well. There's this playlist by Chef Jana, but I haven't tried any of them yet.
Been using banana peels as a vegetable, shredding them into strips with a fork then simmering in broth. Kinda like a crunchy string bean texture after 20 minutes of cooking, no detectable banana flavor (for me at least). I'm on the lookout for more recipes if anyone else uses them.
As for hobbies, desperately waiting for spring to start gardening again. I miss all the cool bugs and being chased inside by carpenter bees 🐝 lol!
Vincent van Gogh since seeing his Sunflowers 🌻 series in 3rd grade art class, especially after learning in my 20s that we share migraine disease. Louis Wain is a close second with "Cat's Nightmare" (my profile picture) being one of my faves.
Also, I went down a 90s kid nostalgia trip recently and watched some FernGully clips. Anyone remember that movie, specifically Batty's rap? It was about vivisection 🤯 I was tempted to post it in the music community lol.
Written information from Europeans goes back four centuries, like the account from the 1600s about cultivated food forests. The archeological finds about consumption in general are much older.
On the post image, Knowing Animals Podcast: Episode 58: Animal Rights in Palestine and Israel with Esther Alloun
This episode of Knowing Animals features Esther Alloun from the University of Wollongong. We discuss her article ‘’That’s the beauty of it, it’s very simple!’ Animal rights and settler colonialism in Palestine–Israel’ which appeared in the journal Settler Colonial Studies in December 2017.
I've read that in the southeastern states, Spanish moss was used like wool, also for thread and upholstery. But it doesn't get nearly as cold down there 😆
I've seen folks online use Virginia creeper and pokeberry to dye fabrics, a soft green and vibrant purple respectively. I'd love to take a crack at them on cotton, maybe even a natural tie dye!
The US Forest Service has a chart with plants and their corresponding colors. I wonder if there's a dye community on lemmy 🤔
They don’t want most of the crap people plant trying to be Eco friendly anyways or so the landscape architect told me.
The research of entomologist, Dr. Doug Tallamy, and his team at the University of Delaware have identified 14% of native plants (the keystones) support 90% of butterfly and moth lepidoptera species. The research of horticulturist Jarrod Fowler has shown that 15% to 60% of North American native bee species are pollen specialists who only eat pollen from 40% of native plants.

Honey bees were domesticated, selectively bred like all other livestock, to be more docile and dependent. The relationship you describe was created by humans for the benefit of humans.

Given the nature of the fediverse, bringing this community more in line with the Solarpunk instance:
A place for hopeful vegans and curious folk, focused on the climate crisis.
Solarpunk is an anti-capitalist movement against the status quo. Apolitical means status quo. Capitalism will not bring about liberation for any earthling, nor will the NGOs who do the bidding for the state. We can't rely on our institutions. We need a grassroots movement from below.
More discussions about activism and community organizing. Posts about art, music, and creative works. Optimistic or thought-provoking essays aligned with Solarpunk values. Zero waste recipes or DIY dupes. Projects we can support or take to our own communities. News about everyday people working towards a better world.
Less about corporate offerings, consumption, and processed foods wrapped in plastic. Less inflammatory missionary work, less debate bros, and less worrying about scaring off conservatives.
There are numerous vegan communities across the fediverse on generalist instances more in line with the mainstream movement, let it be those who get that type of activity. Or in the discussion community which could use some love: [email protected]
