I don’t really have to worry about that. The closest ‘body of water’ to me is a swamp/bog that’s maybe a mile away. Runoff would have to run very far indeed to get to a body of water, and 99% of the way there would be through spruce and birch forests.
So, I had to look this up, but the Oklahoma City bombing was in '95. In season 1 (I think?) of The X-Files, Agent Mulder is given a shit job for stepping on toes, and he has to double check people purchasing larger quantities of ammonium nitrate. That was filmed in '93.
It’s DEFINITELY controlled now. If my garden goes well this year, I’m probably going to try a much larger plot next year, and I’ll likely need fertilizer for it. And, well, I’m not sure how well that’s going to go.
No, you misunderstand: ALL labor under capitalism is exploitative. ‘Dangerous’ and ‘difficult’ has nothing to do with it. The system is set up so that your labor must be used for the benefit of someone else in order to obtain the bare necessities of survival, and you don’t get the full value of your labor. It doesn’t matter if that’s working in an office doing spreadsheets all day, or as a sex work; ALL labor is exploited under capitalism.
Work is work; sex workers are workers.
Having spoken with a few women that have done things adjacent to pornography, their regrets are mostly in regards to the way they were treated by people that were not in the industry. The escorts I’ve spoken with enjoy the work itself, although not necessarily all of the customers.
What you’re saying about the horrors of pornography and prostitution apply to ALL people that need to work for a living. The company I work for buys my time, the product of my labor–which they sell for many times what I’m paid–and even my dignity by forcing me to wear a uniform of their choice. I absolutely do not like the customers that ultimately purchase the products of my labor, but I have little choice if I want to have a place to live, and food to eat.
I know that the soil is pretty shallow; ledge is just a few feet down. (On the positive side, if you want to build a rock retaining wall, frost heave will give you lots of free rocks every year!) I haven’t checked soil quality yet. If I need fertilizer, it’s not going to be just ammonium nitrate, it’s also going to be potassium and phosphorus. And I need to work on my compost heap, maybe see about buying chicken or cow manure? (Or raise chickens…?)
But when I say ‘garden’, I mean several acres, not going from a 10x10 to 20x20. I also need to get a greenhouse in, because we have a very short season here otherwise.
