The myth that panic, looting, and antisocial behavior increases during the apocalypse (or apocalyptic-like scenarios) is in fact a myth—and has been solidly disproved by multiple scientific studies. The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, a research group within the United States Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), has produced research that shows over and over again that “disaster victims are assisted first by others in the immediate vicinity and surrounding area and only later by official public safety personnel […] The spontaneous provision of assistance is facilitated by the fact that when crises occur, they take place in the context of ongoing community life and daily routines—that is, they affect not isolated individuals but rather people who are embedded in networks of social relationships.” (Facing Hazards and Disasters: Understanding Human Dimensions, National Academy of Sciences, 2006). Humans do not, under the pressure of an emergency, socially collapse. Rather, they seem to display higher levels of social cohesion, despite what media or government agents might expect…or portray on TV. Humans, after the apocalypse, band together in collectives to help one another—and they do this spontaneously. Disaster response workers call it ‘spontaneous prosocial helping behavior’, and it saves lives.

I’ve been sharing this article a lot recently! I think it’s important

#stop believing capitalism’s myths about human nature#and start remembering that we are the descendants of the first animals to bury their dead with flowers#we are all alive because of kindness. because of cooperation. because of companionship. because of mutual aid.#we did not become the dominant species based on rugged individualism: we survived together. and that’s the only way forward. (via @robotmango)

Historical Fashion: Byzantine Dress

At the beginning of the Byzantine Empire (4th century CE - 15th century CE), togas that took after the Roman fashion was worn by the upper class. By the time of Justinian’s rule, togas went out of fashion and the tunica was worn by men and women. The tunica was similar to the shirt in that it was T-Shaped. Tunicas worn by women were longer than tunicas worn by men. Women dressed modestly, wearing fashions that covered most if not all of their bodies. [x] 

Rich fabrics such as silk was worn by the upper classes, while the lower classes wore fabrics that were less costly and less vibrant. Court dress or formal dress is the most common image associated with the Byzantine style. This style is the illustrious headdresses with jewels, pearls, and gold, and the colorful garments with intricate patterns.

And here’s what’s going on inside the cold frame on 3/11/20! I planted collard, radish, and spinach seeds a month ago, and they are chugging along. The spinach is getting its first true leaves, as are the radishes. The collards in the back are slower, as is to be expected.

The kale & chard are overwintered; the cold frame saved them from the chickens as well as the cold. We are also growing a nice crop of chickweed in here, which I weeded out and fed to the rabbits.
