i’m trying to unlearn a lot of forms of convenience and being thankful for what the earth allows, so i’m starting to only buy in season produce this year. here’s what in season for summer if you’d like to join me:
fruits: berries, watermelons and stone fruits
veg: carrots, corn, asparagus, beets, peas, cucumber, eggplant, herbs, tomato, zucchini and squash
there’s lots of variety in the things you can make in the summer and this is the time these fruits and veggies will be at their best. a tip: try buying your herbs now and freezing or drying them for easy use later in the year :)

Nothing tastes better than soil of the earth produce you get for a pound at the local farmers market. Now that I’m 22 I have gone into a bit of a health fad and take vitamins, care about my gut health and… buy seasonal produce.
Lowkey nothing tastes better than fresh lemons. They’re cheap and divine, and a squeeze on anything makes a dish so much more better.

Get bang for your buck. Or atleast the best taste the produce has to offer. Also a great way to learn about the local economy, connect with producers etc etc.

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
