This is a selection of the thousands of native potato varieties that grow in Peru. What is even more interesting is that agronomists are looking to the ancestral knowledge of Peruvian farmers to identify genetic strains that can resist climate change.

I've seen several people post this image, but none of them have used alt text, despite the fact that the web interface for Mastodon even offers to extract the text for you.

Anyway, here it is. And this is indeed some Nazi shit.

from Now You Know The Worst
by Wendell Berry

When a man of peace is killed
by a man of war, he gives a light.

You do not have to walk in darkness.
If you will have the courage for love,
you may walk in light. It will be

the light of those who have suffered
for peace. It will be
your light.

How do the #Tories ensure the poor are further impoverished?

One simple mechanism: freeze local housing Allowance (benefit) rates.

The squeeze is on & of course, when you wonder about the implications, along with the pain it causes poor households, it also acts to transfer the nation's income from #workers & the vulnerable to the #landlord class... yup, more Tory #classwar!
