I even marked the day (it was in 2024)! The only way I got through it was by thinking "I am Freeman Lowell. I'm doing this for the future and for wildlife (and for food security)." I sometimes have to throw myself into a "role" to focus and get things done...

Attached: 1 image Organized the "seed vault" today. Threw out anything that had gotten moldy or was too old. I have some treasured heirloom seeds tucked away in sealed containers just in case (beans, corn, sunflowers, etc.). Hopefully this year, my black #walnut tree will start producing walnuts. The "mother tree" was one fully acclimated to #Maine. I've manage to keep alive a few #HeirloomPlants -- including strongly scented #lilacs, that I've rooted and planted in other locations. I've always idolized #FreemanLowell from #SilentRunning -- trying to keep my little corner of the universe green and full of food for the local wildlife.

Two fictional characters that I've identified with for many, many years... The first one is #FreemanLowell from the movie #SilentRunning, an astronaut and gardener who tries to preserve what's left of what used to be life on Earth -- housed in domes in space. The second character is #RayFlowers / #RaeFlowers from #TheStand -- a radio DJ who reports on what's going on, even though the government is trying to shut them down. (I'm trying not to have spoilers -- let me know if I've not succeeded). I still feel like both of those characters to this day -- trying to save nature around me, and attempting to report on what's going on in the midst of #polycrisis. And yes, the government did try and shut this instance down. Things are feeling very dystopian right now...
