Guide to Life-Sustaining Nutrients: Vitamin A

Vitamin A's critical role in development, aging, intelligence, beauty, vision, hormones, sexuality, and immunity. The first in my series of Guides to the Life-Sustaining Nutrients.

The following begins my series, A Basic Guide to the Life-Sustaining Nutrients, a tentative multimedia project that will be almost fully Patreon-exclusive. Today’s Vitamin A entry serves as a preview of what the project entails. I hope you find value here, always keep learning, and support me on Patreon for much more to come. Patreon A few generalizable concepts coupled with their mechanisms…

Still thinking about last Purim when my dad tasted my chicken and told me “you cook just like nanny Gertrude did”. Nanny Gertrude died long before I was born, and I don’t have any of her recipes (if she even left a written record). I didn’t learn to cook from anyone on that side of the family. I just apparently have such strong Ashkenazi Bubbe energy that I can recreate the recipes of my long-dead ancestors while going off of nothing but schmaltz and intuition.

You can contact the Congress members just in a few clicks: texts for e-mails and phone calls are pre-written! You only need to send them out/call. Please, take your time to help 120.000 people in Artsakh that are currently under blockade organized by fascist dictatorship of Azerbaijan.

Went out for a quick moment for groceries and decided to stop by Maurice's momentarily to see if they still had any of my favorite pants in stock.

I bought two pairs last year- one in pink and one in grey. But somehow my grey ones completely vanished on me. So I've been stuck wearing the same pink ones for a year. I love these pants, though, because they're soft, they're stretchy, and they've proven to be comfortable no matter my pain level (provided I'm not stuffed from dinner, ha).

They didn't. Well, they did, technically. They had the pants still- in multiple colors, even. Just none in my size, specifically. But she said she could order them for me, so I grabbed a new pair in Olive green and Merlot, and I replaced my Grey ones that went missing.

Went to Homeland afterwards and grabbed the stuff we needed to make Swiss Onion Burgers for dinner tonight.

My Husband managed to find the Knockwurst I've been looking for for ages just on a whim, too. So I snagged that and grabbed all the stuff I needed for a Half-Sailor Sandwich for lunch for us when we came home as well.

Officially my favorite sandwich next to a Reuben, bless Hashem 🙏; the more ancestral recipes I try, and the more I delve into my ancestral foods (now that I finally know who my ancestors actually were and I'm not chasing a fucking lie) ... The more I just feel fed on a different level; ancestral foods really do just hit different in a way I can't articulate, man.

Wore my new sweater and one of my new sets of earrings out today, too. It's so weird actually being happy with the way I look lately? It's like the more I branch out with patterns and clothes, and the more I branch out with my headwrapping, and the more jewelry I wear, the happier I become with myself. And it's ... Strange.

Like ... I love this. I do. I can't put my finger on what on earth it reminds me of, but I have nothing sad or hateful to say about myself today. And I'm comfortable and warm; "Adorn Yourself" indeed you funky, fucky little spirit people.

I'm very glad I cancelled our D&D game today, however. Because it took me forever to get out of bed this morning; I felt every ounce of that time change and hated it. There's definitely no way I'd've been able to be up, out of bed, awake, and functional for the game today.

I hate that, but it's true.

Don't you love when something is nagging you to make a recipe, you let the Spirits lead you in the process, and afterwards when you search key words looking for something similar online, it turns out It's not only definitely A Thing but that you also have ancestral ties to it? because I do.

#I will always say #Ancestral foods and drinks are the BEST medicine #your ancestral body spent thousands of years adapting to certain environments and to the best foods and drinks to nourish it in them #why am I surprised that They would drop a recipe in my lap when it's to fix something that I'm constantly complaining about lol #my notes #there's nothing more joy enducing than having your practice be historically verified istg

In other news, I made coq au vin for dinner tonight, and this is one of those dishes where, whenever I make it, I can hear my ancestors saying yessss.

Meat and Eggs are Health Foods. Ignore Technocratic Misanthropy.

Since early 2020, cardiovascular disease has killed almost twice the amount of people as the SARS-Cov-2 virus, and poor cardiovascular health increases the chance of mortality from that virus by 10.5%. Cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death globally, killing almost 20 million people per year, and rates and resultant mortality continue to rise. We often associate “fatty foods”,…

What I was taught growing up: Wild edible plants and animals were just so naturally abundant that the indigenous people of my area, namely western Washington state, didn't have to develop agriculture and could just easily forage/hunt for all their needs.

The first pebble in what would become a landslide: Native peoples practiced intentional fire, which kept the trees from growing over the camas praire.

The next: PNW native peoples intentionally planted and cultivated forest gardens, and we can still see the increase in biodiversity where these gardens were today.

The next: We have an oak prairie savanna ecosystem that was intentionally maintained via intentional fire (which they were banned from doing for like, 100 years and we're just now starting to do again), and this ecosystem is disappearing as Douglas firs spread, invasive species take over, and land is turned into European-style agricultural systems.

The Land Slide: Actually, the native peoples had a complex agricultural and food processing system that allowed them to meet all their needs throughout the year, including storing food for the long, wet, dark winter. They collected a wide variety of plant foods (along with the salmon, deer, and other animals they hunted), from seaweeds to roots to berries, and they also managed these food systems via not only burning, but pruning, weeding, planting, digging/tilling, selectively harvesting root crops so that smaller ones were left behind to grow and the biggest were left to reseed, and careful harvesting at particular times for each species that both ensured their perennial (!) crops would continue thriving and that harvest occurred at the best time for the best quality food. American settlers were willfully ignorant of the complex agricultural system, because being thus allowed them to claim the land wasn't being used. Native peoples were actively managing the ecosystem to produce their food, in a sustainable manner that increased biodiversity, thus benefiting not only themselves but other species as well.

So that's cool. If you want to read more, I suggest "Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of Northwestern North America" by Nancy J. Turner

Excerpt:

Beer archaeologists are peering back millennia to recreate brews from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome using ancient methods and ingredients.

Some of the most interesting beers made in recent years provide a drinkable window into human history. These so-called "rebrews" of age-old ales were once savoured in places ranging from Ancient Egypt and Greece to Celtic and Viking Europe. Their drinkers liked a choice too, with 5,000-year-old Babylonian-carved stone tablets depicting recipes for nearly 20 different barley-based beers.

"Recreating ancient beers allows us to touch and taste history. It humanises our ancestors and makes us realise that we are not so different," says Travis Rupp, who combines teaching Classics and Anthropology at the University of Colorado with his past professional brewing experience at the Boulder-based producer Avery Brewing. It's a combination of skills that led him to create a line of archaic rebrews earning him the tag of The Beer Archaeologist, which is now the name of his business. /endquote

Katniss is like Lucy Gray this, Katniss is like Sejanus that, and yes fine that's all good and true and lovely but Katniss Everdeen is also a direct parallel to Coriolanus Snow and people NEED to start talking about this because it's driving me crazy.

Think about it: they both grew up poor and deeply vulnerable, losing parents at a very young age, with a matriarchal adult (Katniss' mother and Coriolanus' Grandma'am) who fails to provide for them emotionally and physically. They intimately understand the threat of starvation, even developing with stunted growth because of it, and their narrations in the books share a fixation on food. Throughout their childhoods, both experienced constant fear and suffered a fundamental lack of control over their circumstances. Because of this, they're inherently suspicious of the people around them. They resent feeling indebted to others, especially those who have saved their lives. They're motivated almost entirely by family and deeply connected to their communities. Both are used and manipulated by the Capitol, both are forced to perform to survive and despise every inch of it, both are thrown into the Arena and made to kill. Both have a self-sacrificial, genuinely sweet sister figure acting as their conscience. Peeta and Lucy Gray - performers and love interests with a fundamental kindness and sense of hope about them - fulfill markedly similar roles in their narrative. Both contribute to the development of the future Hunger Games, Snow throughout tbosas and Katniss towards the end of Mockingjay.

It's easy to ignore these similarities because, as mirrors of each other, they are exact opposites. Katniss is from District 12, viewed and treated as less than human; Snow is the cream of the Capitol crop, given the privilege of a name with social weight, an ancestral home, and the opportunity of the Academy despite having no more money than a miner from 12. Katniss has no agency over her life, and responds by being kind whenever she's able, while Snow justifies horrendous evils in order to continue his quest for complete control. Katniss does everything she can to protect her family; Snow does everything he can to protect his family's image as an extension of his own ego. Katniss loves her District and connects with its inhabitants on a meaningful level, but Snow is indifferent at best to his peers - the apparent "superior people" - and only engages with his community for personal gain. Katniss emerges from the Arena horrified at herself and the system, but Snow takes his trauma and turns it into an excuse to perpetuate the violence with himself at the top. Katniss cares for Prim until her death and then snaps at the loss of her little sister, while Snow survives on Tigris' blood, sweat, and tears and then torments and abandons her, presumably because she calls him out on his insanity. Snow actively adds to and popularizes the Hunger Games because of his vendetta against the Districts following his childhood wartime trauma - Katniss briefly agrees to a new Hunger Games in the pursuit of vengeance, but later stops them from happening by killing Coin and choosing a life of peace and privacy. Snow is obsessed with revenge, but Katniss empathizes with the Capitolites and does what she can to keep them from suffering. He exists in a cruel system and selfishly upholds it; she exists in a cruel system and works to dismantle it for the good of her family and community, at great personal cost. And Peeta and Lucy Gray are incredibly similar, but Katniss and Peeta forge a relationship of genuine love and understanding that shines in comparison to Coriolanus' obsessive projection onto Lucy Gray.

So, yeah, Katniss is Lucy Gray haunting Coriolanus. But I bet you anything that eighty-something year old President Snow looks at her, the girl on fire, bright and young and brilliant, emerging from a childhood of starvation with a relentless hunger for success, a talented and charming performer helping her win the Games, and he sees the ghost of his own past. And that's why he's so afraid of her! Because if he sees himself in her, then he's up against his own cunning, his own talent for manipulation, his own charisma, his own genius. He's up against the version of himself that he once wished to be, with the nightmare army of his childhood at her back and her star-crossed lover at her side, spewing Sejanus' truths in his own voice. This isn't to say that Katniss ever achieved the level of power and agency that Coriolanus did during her time with the rebellion, but it is to say that Snow was taken down by what truly terrified him - his own morality, come to finish the job.
