Day 20 💰💰🏭🏦🛢️☢️🕍⛪️🙏🔥

“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.

Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.

Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers”

“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.

Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority – #HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”

If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony 🧅 got a new job.

Transferred the California Gewurztraminer wine to a carboy for degassing and clearing. It is day 22. It was still fermenting slowly and it was about 1.001 a week ago and wasn't bubbling at all yesterday and measured 0.996 today. It gets the chitosan and reserves tomorrow.

A cropped photo showing a hydrometer in wine. It reads 0.996. The wine is clear and amber looking in the bucket.

Finally getting around to making the 2024 blackberry wine. 19.5kg/43lbs of frozen blackberries.

Once this is mostly thawed (tomorrow sometime) I'll add some water and about 4.5kg/10lbs of sugar.

I'll let it ferment with whatever wild yeast is on them. This usually works out just fine and I end up with a dry wine of around 12%

A bunch of frozen chunks of blackberries sit in a large plastic fermentor

Good morning everyone! Welcome to all the new people here. Thought it would be good to do another introduction post. I love to connect with other creatives.

I am an artist who explores the potential of clay and specialize in raku/alternative firings. Mythology and nature are themes/inspirations in my work. Some of my other interests include:

#nature #garden #hiking #winemaking #offgrid #space #mythology #art #spirituality #kindnessmatters

6 row of clay creations. Row 1 - red, 3 vases Row 2 - orange, 2 vases, raku bear Row 3 - yellow, 2 vases, owl Row 4 - green, 3 vases Row 5 - blue, vase, skull, Buddha Row 6 - purple, Buddha, urn, vase
Four rows with three different ceramic pieces in each row. All pieces are in white, more neutral shades with the exception of some pit fired pieces at the bottom of the photo with some reds and blacks.

Good afternoon everyone! I am new to Pixelfed! I am an artist who works primarily in clay and specialize in raku pottery and I explore mythology and nature in my work. Some of my other interests include:

#nature #garden #hiking #winemaking #offgrid #space #mythology #art #spirituality #kindnessmatters #pottery #ceramics #raku

This account will be used primarily to show my art with some pictures from nature and the garden also included. I'm still figuring out how everything here works, and I love to connect with other creatives, lovers of nature and those who share interests.

Below is a sample of my work.:

Have you ever wondered which grape varietals were used in ancient times?

Turns out they used grapes which were quite like modern grapes:

Edit: Reading it again, medieval wine varietals are close to the ones used now - Roman grapes were different. For Roman grapes you should look to Iberia and Eastern Europe for matches.

NaturePalaeogenomic insights into the origins of French grapevine diversity - Nature PlantsThousands of varieties of wine grapes have been recorded and described in historical accounts, some going back as far as the Middle Ages, but genetic relationships between ancient and modern varieties were unknown. Genomic sequencing of 28 seeds, dating back as far as the Iron Age, finds close relationships to today’s cultivars, including a genetic match to Savagnin Blanc from 1100 ce.

Grape cultivation and wine-making in Turkey began some 7,000 years ago, but the industry has been in decline for generations, mainly as a result of religious restrictions and unrest. “We lost it all: the maintenance of all the vineyards, the making of the wine,” Umay Ceviker, a co-founder of Yaban Kolektif, an initiative to protect indigenous grapes in Turkey, told New Lines. “All of this history, all of this background, all of the traditions, festivals and rituals [tied to wine] — we were forced to forget everything.” Now, he and other experts and makers are attempting to revive Turkish wine, and bring near-extinct grapes back to life.
