What better time than the beginning of winter to think about the last days of summer? It's so easy, in a society where we're told to focus on the "news of the day," to forget that seasons come and go, things change, sometimes it's hot and sometimes it's not.

To be a young skipper with a strong back who fished a prime spot was seen as incredibly low, and undermining of the community itself. Not only might you find your nets cut, you may find yourself lacking in the even more important networks of solidarity and mutual aid. And a remote coastal town in the North Atlantic is no place to be without that.

This seems to be a very frequent feature of #rural community: resistance to bureaucratization and centralization.

Another #rural #folk tune to share this morning. This one hits pretty close for me as part of the Newfoundland diaspora. I was raised on stories of home as my family scattered across the country because of a capitalist collapse. As in every extractive economy, when the resource is depleted, communities are destroyed while a wealthy few move on to their next plunder.

Climate change poses significant #threats to #agriculture in #Senegal, where only 7% of cultivated land is irrigated, rendering the country's agriculture highly reliant on rainfall.

November 26 - the birthday of William Sidney Mount (1807-1868) - the first native-born #American artist to specialize in genre painting. He achieved fame in the U.S. and Europe as a painter who chronicled rural life on Long Island in the mid-19th century.

https://stellar-art.pixels.com/featured/cider-making-1840-william-sidney-mount.html

#art #ArtHistory #ArtistBirthday #LongIsland #rural #countryside #history #US #USA

In this work, Mount explicitly recorded the steps involved in making hard cider, presenting an image of idyllic farm life in Setauket, Long Island. While the scene is vivid and cheerful, it also references current events. A newspaper story about the painting suggested that Mount may have intended each figure to represent candidates in the 1840 presidential campaign. In that race, the successful Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison, defeated the Jacksonian Democrats by presenting himself as a "common man," who would rather drink cider in a log cabin than reside in the White House.

@straphanger Would be curious to hear your thoughts on some of the ideas put forward by Bookchin, which seem to have something to offer to both the urbanist and ruralist conceptions you lay out.

In any case, I always love hearing from people who can see value in #rural life without falling into paternalistic or reactionary nostalgia. Appreciate the perspective.

#Pigeons are still (sometimes) faster than your #internet
Racing pigeons clock an average of 40mph and typically race up to 400mi, roughly D.C. to Boston, according to the American Racing Pigeon Union. With the boost of a tailwind, pigeons have been recorded going as fast as 110mph and as far as 1,000 miles.
At certain data volumes and distances, the pigeon is a quicker option for large swaths of #rural #America, where internet speeds can lag far behind national average.

A view looking directly down a river .  The surface reflects the colour of the sky and the surrounding deciduous trees like a silver mirror.  Craggy rocks make jagged shapes around the river banks.  A hill with a conifer plantation on it can be seen in the background.
A brightly lit stand of small, bare trees surrounded by a very neatly built, circular dry stone dyke in the middle  of remote sheep fields. Bleak  sweeping hills and cold blue skies make the backdrop.
On a hillside of winter brown fields, a ruined chimney from an old Lead mine stands.  A view going all the way to distant, rolling hills covered in green conifer plantations is behind the chimney.  Tiny fluffy white clouds hang in otherwise clear blue skies.
A closer view of the chimney, this time against an azure sky.  The rubble ruins of working buildings of the Lead Mine form the foreground.

"The US Federal Communications Commission (#FCC) has authorized more than $18 billion to be paid to #carriers to #expand #rural #broadband."
Based on the results of PAST such subsides, of course, the $64,000 question — or rather, the $18 billion question — is whether carriers will actually do anything after they pocket the money. If carriers had actually built the infrastructure they promised to build out in return for past subsidies, the entire US would have a robust broadband infrastructure already.

Water makes its impact on the landscape. And it doesn't have to be a massive amount: while a raging, roaring river, the kind that tumbles boulders, definitely carves its space, a small quiet stream, given enough time, leaves its mark -- or shall I say influence? -- as well.

October 04 - the birthday of Jean-François Millet (1814-1875) - a French artist and one of the founders of the Barbizon school in #rural France. Millet is noted for his paintings of #peasant farmers and can be categorized as part of the #Realism art movement. Millet was an important source of inspiration for Vincent van Gogh during his early period. Millet and his work are mentioned many times in Vincent's letters to his brother Theo.
