Little Things To Keep In Mind 💕

Little Ways to Bring Sustainability into Cottagecore. 🍄📚☀️📖☕️

•Make your own bread/baking/food (especially things that can only be found plastic wrapped)

•Make your laundry detergent and dish soap, or buy eco friendly ones

•Buy in bulk with your own containers

•Use glass and metal containers to store things in, as opposed to plastic

•~*C O M P O S T*~

•Buy local and trade with neighbours to keep business small and purposeful

•Reuse, repair, and repurpose old stuff

•Spend more time outside and less time wasting electricity

•Permaculture gardens!!!

•Go thrifting and antiquing before buying new

•Buy cute lil totes (especially from local artists) and stop using plastic bags

•Be mindful of what you’re consuming. Food and fashion wise, and otherwise. Take note of what you truly want or need.

•Hang your clothes on a line to dry

•Learn to hem and mend your own clothing

•Educate yourself on water conservation (especially in gardens)

THIS is the kind of take I love to see

Allthough I am Catholic there is something i think is important and needs to be said

I have talked to different people, I have talks to Muslims, Jewish people, other Christians, Pagans, Atheists, Agnostics and even Satanists

And everyone has separate and DEEPLY personal reasons as to why they are the faith they are. Religion and faith is highly personal. The first amendment here in America specifies we are a country with freedom to worship

That includes faiths you may not like or believe in

We can only choose our own path, we can only control ourselves

I believe it's disrespectful to try to control other people's paths, when we know good and well it would upset us if they did the same

my silly little dream

i love the idea of living close to nature. be it up in the cold mountains in a log cabin with a green tin roof, and solar panels in the yard, or in a country cob cabin with a living roof, nestled into a meadow somewhere beautiful and hot. i want to live close to the earth and be familiar with her. i don't want a television. i want a book shelf and some vinyl records and a turntable with lots of speeds. i want to dance with my husband and our kids in the living room and make tea and salads with the herbs and flowers, which we foraged. maybe i’ll un-school my kids, or i’ll send them to a Waldorf school (depending on the opportunities wherever we land). ill teach them witchcraft, but also to respect all faiths and ideologies (which pose no direct harm to others). ill send them to the local synagogue with my Jewish friends, to the mosque with my Muslim friends, to temple with my Hindu friends, and so on. i want open an open-minded, and kind-hearted family. my husband and i will kiss often, sometimes in front of the kids, and they will groan and roll their eyes, but ultimately they are learning that that's how their future partner should treat them. we might have chickens in the yard, and maybe one or two roosters. maybe a greenhouse, where i can grow fresh herbs and greens year round (if we are so blessed with the money to do so). i'll enroll my kiddos in book clubs at the local library, and read books to them with no pictures when they are bored. i will allow them the time to just rest. i don't care how loud, or odd, or sassy my kids might be, i care only that they are gentle with others and do their best to understand others. i’ll go on dates with my husband long after we are married, we will wander, weaving through the mountains or meadows. i will run my hands through his hair and gaze into his eyes as i do now, before the altar. if we have the money, i’ll put a swimming/fishing pond in the yard. we'll have lots of pets, and homestead animals and we'll nurture injured animals we encounter. i can’t wait for one day to come to me.

OMG, i need these!!! where do i buy them? are they good for all climates? they look so fluffy!!

Have you ever heard of teddy bear sunflowers? If not I highly recommend looking them up!

I looked them up and 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I want 100

Then, I'll convince myself that I'm a bad person who must be stopped, and hyperfocus on ethical philosophy in an attempt to better myself, instead of doing the work that I've been so carelessly avoiding... Wait

Good morning everybody, thanks for joining me today, I am now going to demonstrate how I avoid ALL my responsibilities AT ALL COSTS until someone I care about gets mad at me and I feel guilty.

(not mine, like most of my blog lol)

i’ve been learning how to use [ thou / thee / thy / thine ] and it sounded really confusing at first because all of the websites i found would be talking about things like whether you’re the subject or object and blah blah blah and it just made it sound really complicated

but as it turns out it’s not

in fact, you already know the rules for how to use [ thou / thee / thy / thine ] because it’s the same as [ i / me / my / mine ] (they even rhyme – me/thee, my/thy, and mine/thine)

the only difference is an archaic rule for “mine” that has since fallen out of use, the very same rule that we use for [ a / an ], which basically boils down to “if it comes before a vowel, add an [ n ]”

observe:

i gave him a gift // thou gave him a gift

he gave me a gift  // he gave thee a gift

this is my chair // this is thy chair

this chair is mine // this chair is thine

and

this is a pear // this is my pear // this is thy pear

this is an apple // this is mine my apple // this is thine apple

it’s as simple as that.

hey, so lateral sourcing is really difficult with international news but, i did learn a bit about how the italian gov functions while trying to find out if it was cool to reblog this..

i'm not italian, so idk if this is a reputable source, but i found a few good summarizing articles. (if you don't speak italian -in which case same- the option to google translate will pop up automatically for google users <3)
