It puts me in mind of squares of cornfields, which are in and of themselves a gross imposition of human industry upon the natural world. Though us contemporary humans look at them and think how picturesque, how wonderfully alive and fertile such a scene looks.

    I ordered from them ~September last year and it took them 3 days to dispatch after the date on the order received email, so I don't think it's time to panic. It's a community initiative rather than some big corp.

    Also I think they run shipping out of China so keep that in mind. Depending on when you ordered they likely had already closed up for the day.

    The lack of pain-empathy in healthcare is mind-blowing. I'm a white man in an excellent position to be listened to, but when I had appendicitis last year getting people to understand that no, I am in crippling pain and I think it's urgent was far to much hassle for someone in crippling pain. I can't imagine what it's like for women.

    I can understand folk getting jaded eventually but I often get the feeling that many people start out not caring.
