For me, it does not. I usually only think about gender in relation to myself in the context of the treatment of nonbinary people by other binary people. Maybe I am rather firmly agender.

I had found a somewhat wrinkled scarlet runner bean from a pod I had been given a few years ago and planted it; now, they sprouted, and their leaves are starting to unfold.

There are better ways to think freely, ways that do not involve assisting in murder and empowering wthat which you hate.

It is for some reason easier to think formulaically than to think freely. Perhaps the whole idea of thought that workist societies teach is based on formulaic thought, which can more easily be controlled and induced.

In formulaic thought, food is moved around on a table. But for free thought to be possible, the table must move around as well, change its colours and textures and materials, sometimes switch with other tables, and sometimes the food might even fall to the floor. Unless they take out a few legs of the table and more, no one can come to a conclusion like anarchy from a liberal table.

Learning to think freely seems like an oxymoron to me. We learn to think formulaically because we can learn processes, and formulaic thinking is a chain of these processes. But free thought is not a process. It cannot be learned, but unfree thought may be deconstructed to let it in.

This is the first time I have tried growing rice, but I planted it next to a well, where at this time of year there is some water flowing through the soil, but later in the year, it should be more moist than wet.

I do not expect to grow much this year, but I hope to start to convert the area into a garden.

The wheat and rice are doing well even in this cold weather, but there is little barley I have seen, which happens to also be the first to germinate. There has been no quinoa growing yet, either.

Edit: I forgot to mention that there is some barley growing in a raised bed.

I appreciate politeness, in a sense, especially since I can fall apart when someone is too curt or assertive.
