If the ocean ever disappears DONT GO LOOKING FOR IT… go in the other direction

i know this sounds like a shitpost but isn’t this like, real advice regarding tsunamis

Yes this was about hurricane Irma it is not a shitpost

This is actually really good advice so let me elaborate a bit: if you notice the tide is retreating very quickly at a very odd time of day, get as far away from water and as high up as you can. I live along the ocean and a long time ago we had a small tsunami and a relative of mine tells me how her father saw the tides retreating so he just picked her up and just ran, which probably saved their lives.

So yeah DONT LOOK FOR THE MISSING OCEAN just run away

ocean not lost, ocean is actually winding up to kick you very hard in the nuts.

i was about to joke about how my political stance is “end lawnmower culture” but then it occurred to me that i actually Am against lawns as suburban status symbols and wastes of land that Could be used to sustain native flora & fauna and grow food for people, but no, instead they are these huge useless swaths of land that need Constant maintenance, the process of which is not only destructive, but Incredibly Loud

You know that actually is the purpose of a lawn? They started as a trend of the French monarchy - the ones revolutionaries beheaded for being self indulgent assholes.

It exists purely as a status symbol that says, “I have land but I don’t have to use it for anything productive. I can invest time, money and resources in maintaining an entirely useless crop on land I’m not farming just because it looks pretty.”

Lawns offend me.

Why have that stunted golf course in front of your suburban house if you can’t even water it? Get one of these instead.

Unite Against the Lawn

Pro tiny house, anti grass lawn. Prioritize practicality.

This is actually really interesting because back in the 1950s and 60s in Australia when we started getting large waves of Southern European migrants one thing the Italians and others would often so is buy a little suburban home, then tear out the ornamental flower beds and lawn and useless trees and plant fruits, vegetables, grapes and even olives. It was considered completely scandalous by their Anglo-Saxon neighbours because lawn was considered an aspirational thing and the ideal was to go from not needing a kitchen garden and having an ornamental garden to show how well you were doing.

when i was at the san antonio botanical gardens last week they had a whole setup of tiny faux houses showing different potential layouts to alternate yards!! the focus of the exhibition was on replacing a lawn with other plants to conserve water (they partnered with the san antonio water system for this); lawns just…don’t do well in draught conditions, as you could probably guess. meanwhile native plants are VERY well adapted to the climate. from their website: 

WaterSaver Lane features six cottages that demonstrate different types of drought-tolerant landscaping, including one showing what not to plant! Find a variety of landscapes that minimize lawn and include more groundcover, perennial flowerbeds and herbs, native and adapted plants, and patio space.

here are a few of their examples (the exhibit has full mini yards to see but im pulling these pics off their website): 

cottage garden

spanish courtyard

hill country

they also have an adapted version of the traditional lawn. i know that this is a very lawn-abolitionist post, but in this particular hot take on the lawn discourse they’ve shown how replacing traditional lawn turf with low-water grass species, perennial shrubs, and shade trees can create the same kind of look in a more environmentally friendly manner:

Another fucked up thing about lawns is many local governments/cities have ordinances that actually REQUIRE you to have a “real” (as in standard common bluegrass) lawn as a civil duty. I learned from my environmental sustainability course that someone in my city ripped up the lawn in front of his house and replaced it with native plants that thrive in our natural desert ecosystem and he was reported by a neighbor and fined by our city for not maintaining a “proper lawn”.
