For me indoor growing began simply: just a rented room and grow lights. This was 2011, using a few buckets with red wrigglers to make a batch of compost. 70% of Canada's food imports come from the U.S. #indoorFarming

Early on, an oto baby learned to float upside down while sucking Repashy powder off the surface. Then others started doing it. Those first few weeks can be crucial. Often the fry don't learn to feed effectively and starve to death. This baby is 24 days old. #otocinclus #aquarium

Special friends just had about 30 babies so am enslaved to small tasks like incubating baby food (biofilm, basically slime). #otocinclus #aquarium

Sometimes I feel silly riding my cargo bike to work alone, but then I remember that nearly every car commuter is hauling their laptop and sandwich in a personal living room on wheels with room for 4–6 other people.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Sun + light in the afternoon. Have got the nitrates down near zero, and shrimp minerals are good. Just a 5 gallon tank because it takes up so little space the cat and I can both watch it. No shrimp or fish yet, this is about 2 weeks in. #shrimptank #nanotank

The shrimp temple will be the stone at left because one can climb to the top and wiggle his feelers to address the ones below. The plants are 2 days in and I am hypnotically pleased. No shrimp yet but need to setup the RO first. #Neocaridina #aquarium

It's possible to grow lemons under grow lights, although the plant will be engulfed by spider mites eventually, so getting some predatory fallacis mites established in compost is crucial. I grew 3 Ponderosa lemons that were spherical, but their time to maturity was long. #IndoorFarming

In future those yellow mites will mean the difference between starvation and a comfortable time relaxing in the cave. It's because indoor food production, the last option of humanity, will be defeated by spider mites. Luckily prescient hippies will save you with the yellow mites, which eat them.

“But to me, the heart of the exhibition is about more persuasively connecting the dots for people between better city-building & a better climate future. You can’t have one without the other. So the main theme was about cities taking bolder climate action, going further & faster with fewer excuses.”
