Last Notes npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I'm occasionally accused of trying to convert people to anarchism, but really what I want most of all is for people to plant native plants and listen to Willi Carlisle. That's the better world that I believe is possible. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Also, people talk about all the infighting and cat-herding behaviour on the left in the context of it being this huge impediment to movement. But it's also a strength in that you can't control it top-down like you can with liberal or right wing groups. You don't have to pacify 10 leaders, you have to pacify 10 million people. There's no "marching orders". npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Based on past patterns, they're hoping that people are going to take a partial victory. They'll wait it out long enough to demobilize resistance and then unleash them again. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Surely this individual Cartesian actors would pursue their rational self interest, and over time, arrive at TRUTH. Praise be the new god! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They stretched these understandings out into the social sphere. Markets are not just a chosen way to distribute labour and material goods, they are a fundamental fabric guided by immutable scientific laws. A scientific god with invisible hands guides these markets toward TRUTH and harmonious functioning. This idealism was true of speech as well, of course. The invisible hand of the marketplace of ideas, guiding it toward an optimal outcome and the TRUE IDEAS. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The liberal tradition around the marketplace of ideas has common origins to their ideas around markets in general. The founding philosophies came about as these Europeans were eschewing the bible and the crown as the source of truth in the world. This was contemporary to the enlightenment scientific revolution. They were very excited about the unveiling of the universe through Newtonian mechanics, etc., as new frontiers to replace god and the king. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "Psssst hey kid, you wanna buy some opinions on the tax code?" npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "I'll trade you one well thought out policy about sanitation system upgrades for six fleeting notions about the moon landing" npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "But I lowered the price and took out a full page ad! Why are you not being a rational actor and purchasing my clearly more efficient idea product?" npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea We don't exist in a marketplace of ideas. We exist in communities of people who have ideas. Those are fundamentally different things. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Deradicalization is possible but difficult. It requires way more work than slinging around slogans. You will get precisely zero dopamine hits from it. If you ever feel a dopamine hit, you're not doing deradicalization - you're playing out your Sorkin fetish in public. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea If you actually care about convincing any of those people about anything, it needs to be human conversations with someone who you're actually connected to. Not sure why you'd ever think this grandstanding west wing garbage would be effective at that, as though they'd never heard of liberalism before. Touch grass. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Does anyone think that these open letters "Republicans, this should blah blah blah" actually work? Have you ever spoken to a human? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea If any Americans need cold weather advice, hit me up in this thread. I've spent a lot of time out in the bush at -40 and am happy to share whatever I got. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea There's a good bit in the bread book where he talks about how the Paris Commune failed because the so-called revolutionaries were making grand speeches on liberty while the people holding the barricades went unfed. The grand revolutionaries were notably all men and they neglected the care work necessary to actually sustain their movement. Feeding people was just an invisible thing that happened, not a thing "they" were supposed to do. Not "revolutionary". npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Fascism wasn't stopped with Churchill's "We will fight them on the beaches" speech. It was stopped by fighting them on the beaches. We're not getting out of this with words and not without paying a high cost. That hasn't sunk in for most people yet. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The first tanks to liberate Paris from the fascists were Spanish anarchist regfugees whose homes were under fascist occupation. As you say, free people can free people. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea This myth is still floating around, so I'm gonna reiterate please don't use milk on your eyes for teargas or pepper spray. There's a reason we put clean water in industrial eyewash stations. We do not specify milk. Stop. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Notable that all of the very serious talking heads who think Canada shouldn't trade with China because they use forced labour don't think that Canada should stop trading with the US because they use forced labour npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I'll never forget the american coworker here who, when I described Canadian labour laws to him a few years ago, replied "yeah but it's an american company so it follows american laws". npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Again, I think the potential for misunderstanding is way too high and just invites endless word games trying to define democracy. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yeah it's not my preferred rhetoric. I prefer something along the lines of (give or take): npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "Political rights do not exist because they have been legally set down on a piece of paper, but only when they have become the ingrown habit of a people, and when any attempt to impair them will meet with the violent resistance of the populace. Where this is not the case, there is no help in any parliamentary Opposition or any Platonic appeals to the constitution." npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The reason I'm bringing this up is to tell you not to go to bat for John Bolton. Even if that fight is won, you've just expended all your energy and all you've got is John Bolton. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Groups like the ACLU and other institutions that structure themselves as liberal rights-based NGOs tend to spend their time pursuing the most extreme end of whatever so-called principle they're fighting for. So they do things like defend nazis to prove that even the most *extreme* deserve freedom of speech. Meanwhile, they neglect genuine political prisoners languishing behind bars. They opt for performance of an ideal, rather than actually materially advancing that ideal. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea In my experience, a big part of this is that nationalism causes people to identify with the state. Since they view the state as an extension of themselves, a criticism of the actions of the state is also a criticism of them. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I let my tomatillo plants get too bushy, which made me dread pruning and harvesting them. I'm finally hacking them back today so I can retrieve my soaker hose, and of course there's a fuckin billion tomatillos in here lmao. Not only on the plants, but also dropped all over the bed. Some rotting, some nibbled on, some beautiful. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea This is at the heart of why it feels like "we can't build anything anymore". All of the resources have been pulled from the doers to managers, auditors, financiers. All of the attention is paid to tracking KPIs and box-checking compliance instead of actual labour. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Neoliberals and the private sector both wrap themselves in the aesthetic of "efficiency" and "cutting red tape", but really all they do is cut funding and gum shit up. They fucking looooove red tape. 10 more forms and 3 more auditors to scrutinize the spending please. Oh, that didn't work? Better create another agency of auditors to audit the auditing agency. Oh, that didn't work? How about another? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Carney's governing style so far seems to basically consist of creating new government agencies to duplicate bureaucratic functions. I suppose it should come as no surprise that a neoliberal who spent his whole life in finance and government would fail open into this mode. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Has nobody in the US told these yankee petite bourgeoisie that we're hurting their businesses on purpose? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea There's other ways too of course, but those probably take longer npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The quickest way for blue states to get Canadians to visit again is for them to secede from the union. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It's funny too, that most of these people probably regularly refer to their current government as fascist. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea People here are not complaining about "hurt feelings" or the finer points of free trade deals. We're grappling with the idea of being killed by american soldiers or sent to a death camp. There's no amount of liberal apologies, "Canadians welcome" signs, or free parking that are going to change that. If these people are so concerned about Canadian visitors, they need to pull their heads out of the sand and fix the fucking problem. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Look I'm sure these people are nice enough, but are they just totally oblivious? Or is this a weird selective sample by Klepper? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I think everyone needs a reminder that fascists don't need "an excuse" to do fascist violence. Fascists do fascist violence when given opportunity, not when given pretext. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Capitalism brought us such innovations as setting up a second line next to the normal line at the amusement park where you can pay more money to go sooner. The ride still has the same throughput, it just lets you go sooner if you pay more. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea People who say that without markets we'll have rationing are hiding the fact that markets are a form of rationing npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea There was a butterfly milkweed at the local nursery and it had a little baby monarch caterpillar on it so obviously I had to bring it home npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Look at this cute lil snake in the grass! :blobcataww: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "I'm gonna change the system from the inside!" npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It makes me sad to think about how many of us have been stolen by these power structures. Young, idealistic, good people. They want to help, they grab the ring of power, and they become everything they were fighting against. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea People in my community tell me to run for council pretty often. Every time, I tell them that if I become their councilor then I won't be me anymore. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea When you'll do anything for a dollar, you'll do most things for a fascist dime npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The past decade has been the longest most pathetic parade of liberal clowns entertaining fascists, and the clowns have found their Carney npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea You put your elbows up npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea When I first saw this notification, I thought it was about the slug lmao npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea A hummingbird was just flying 30 cm from my face and it looked at me for a bit! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I roll it in oil, sprinkle with flaky salt and fresh pepper, and crisp up under the broiler. Much less bitter. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Good garden haul so I'm just gonna eat a fuckload of green things for supper. I am become rabbit. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea We men simply burn our hands when we cook tasty cinnamon buns npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Defend Mark Hancock npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It's going to remain especially tough until the lib/NDP swing "progressives" get tired of their new toy and take off their rose coloured glasses. So many people still giving him the benefit of the doubt for absolutely no reason. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The state is not on our side, so why would I want it to be run competently? And workaholic types are the worst because they always act like the rest of us are supposed to feel the same. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea One of these days, labour is gonna need to show some backbone and shoot our shot. Every one of these fights we lose by following the law, the harder that shot is gonna be. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea CUPE once again getting their rights to strike suspended by the government and Unifor once again signalling the government that they are ready to fuck up their shit. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Imagine coming unsolicited into my mentions to tell me how scary homeless people are and that's why you never leave the house unarmed. Buddy, do you know where in the fuck you are? Byeeeeee npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They tell you that homeless people are a threat to you because of crime, drugs, blah blah blah. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea That so-called unproductive members of society will be forcibly deprived of housing is one of the sticks that they use to beat you into producing for them. Yankees will recognize this as the same reason why their healthcare is tied to their employment. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It's amazing how many people will hear a statement like "obviously we can't house EVERYONE" and just shrug and go along with it as though it makes any kind of sense npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Thanks, yeah everyone's safe which is what matters. Pissed though. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Anyone from the oil patch wanna make the pitch to me why my family's home should burn for their job? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea My family live in a place where the normal seasons are rain, snow, rain with fog, and rain again but different. They're all evacuating from wildfires right now. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea A hickory tussock moth caterpillar dropped into my hair from one of the walnut trees. What a fuzzy little cutie :blobcataww: Can't reach the walnut canopy so I left the lil fuzzball on a stump sprouting ash that's now taken on a sort of bush form. Lots to munch! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea :blobcataww: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Bush honeysuckle and columbine are good adds as well for hummingbirds 🙂 npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yessssss :ablobcatbongo: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They're on my lanceleaf coreopsis doing the same! I made sure to grab some seeds to spread around before the birds got them all lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Sometimes I think we've overmessaged on milkweed and forgot to say that butterflies need nectar too. But yeah, the adults love liatris! It's good to plant things for the adults nearby the larval hosts 🙂 npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Monarch butterfly! On the liatris spicata! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I had to wrap mine in chicken wire after the rabbits got one lol. And I planted it back by the ravine and the pawpaws where it gets part shade from the walnuts. Seems happy! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Michigan lily is finally blooming! :ablobcatbongo: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Damn, where'd they get the soil? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Haha yup! Named that because there's basically no soil there lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They'll do that! Mine are about 4 feet tall right now and look juuuust about to burst npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Very excited for your Joe Pye! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Liatris brings all the bees to the yard npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Can't keep soil free of plants for very long! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Garter snake! In the clematis! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Once it's established, yeah! Prolific grower. Mine's still establishing so I have to be patient lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea You need to get them some friendly neighbours 🙂 Maybe some little bluestem or black eyed susans or something to lean on. Prairie plants are communities, and they like to cuddle up close! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Woke up lookin for the broccoli npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Did anyone protest the G7 this time? Is it even relevant enough to protest? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea A lot of people don't like their kids and wanted to be able to send them back to school so they didn't have to be around them all day. Thus, childhood covid immunity was phantasmically birthed into existence. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They belong in front of a scotiabank or something, not at my home 😤 npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yeah! I think they're mostly all dormant still. I split them off from the flower order so they'd send them sooner and I can get rid of these cursed boxwoods lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I've got a bunch of native trees and shrubs arriving tomorrow :ablobcatbongo: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I think one important thing to note here, is that there's not really a singular Anglo-Canadian culture beyond the white wasp expansion of John A. There are, however, LOTS of different little regional pockets of culture and history that exist within the Canadian anglosphere. Many of these have strong artistic traditions already. This speaks really well to the point that @npub1xyr…332r made above, I think. A militant pluralism is a lot more defensible here than a hegemony imo npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I agree with a lot of this. "Canada first" is not a tenable response and I'm sorry that you and others have felt the brunt of that. I try to do what I can to stop the upswell here, but it feels like it's always one step forward and two steps back. I can't answer for our state, our media, or for that fascist upswell any more than you can for those systems in the US. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I'm having trouble reconciling this with your post the other day. If this issue were a simple question of duelling nationalisms, I'd be right there with you, but there's much more in play here than that, which I think you at least partly alluded to. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Never had that before! Is it any good? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It's very nice! You fry it in butter so the toast crisps up good. Then you dip your fried bread in the runny yolk in the middle. We'd have maple syrup or sometimes molasses drizzled over it as well. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yep! Maybe V For Vendetta took it from us instead of the English? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea We always made that growing up but called it "egg in a hole". When I was in school, my Indian roommate saw me cooking it and declared it a "white delicacy" as a joke, but then he started making it himself lmao npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Mia speaking directly to my heart on these Boeing episodes. A few technical and design philosophy quibbles (especially her pronunciation of "pitot tube" lol), but she definitely latched onto the relevant threads for her thesis. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Capitalism claims to provide people with choice, but what it really does for most people is obscure the choices that are made for them by the wealthy. It will show you a hundred choices, only a few of which will be viable for you. If you're lucky. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea You can also make gumbo using filé powder (my preference), but that's probably even harder for you to find. Though it would ship/keep better, for future reference. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I find creole to be super confusing actually. Sometimes I hear it used similar to how we would say Métis, sometimes the latin settlers, sometimes mixed-race settler-Indigenous, and sometimes purely Indigenous or Afro-Caribbean. I almost never understand what someone means by it unless there are more context clues. Cajun, however, is very clear and specific. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Dépêche Mode is french for "going peach mode"
