Bear is pretty greasy/gamey. I’ve had it when it was made into like a summer sausage though and it was really good. I’ve been on the animals are our comrades kick for the last 3 or 4 years though, and basically just want to try every kind of mushroom out there. Luckily some of the best wild mushrooms (morels) can be found in the spring with a bit of hiking through the forests, something enjoy even if it doesn’t win me dinner. I’d like to find some king bolete mushrooms though. Those suckers look tasty.
I generally enjoy my job (underground mine support/backfill/construction). Most of the time though I'm just sitting around with nothing to do, but have to show up anyway because who could imagine a world where (at least) 40 hours of your life isn't given to a company. Hell, yesterday I was legitimately bummed out that it was the end of shift and I didn't have time to see a project through to completion. I would have loved to finish it just for the personal satisfaction of a job well done. Capitalism is pretty efficient at sucking the joy out of workers who enjoy labor. I'm sure this is more common in salt-of-the-earth physical labor type jobs.
These things are so rad! Some really cool photos in local history books of how these things would keep the tracks usable in my little mining town area. No rail here anymore, all converted to bike/multi-use trails. The old Northern Pacific, Hiawatha, and Milwaukee lines. Steep, and winding, and traversing mountain passes. Trains are so fucking cool. Way better than an endless stream of diesel semis tearing the shit out of the interstate. All lined up for miles chaining up everytime there's a bit of snow. What a dumb fucking idea that was. The US was really bad at planning a country.
It's lame. I can't even drive up the river for a swim to where I usually go in the summer, it's just lame ass Washington plates all over. They're driving at least an hour to get there too.
Definitely seems to be going up where I’m at in Idaho. Between the Trump supporters here who think of masks as Chinese Communist Tyranny and all the Washington folks driving over here specifically to not have to wear a mask while shopping, it’s not really looking good.
Emma Goldman’s Anarchism and Other Essays is a decent primer and I felt like I got quite a bit out of it, even though I just listened to the audiobook version. The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin is just fucking great sci-fi in general and covers quite a bit of anarchist thoughts and sentiments. Audiobook for that also, highly recommend.
