    Queer, sapphic and utterly bleak and beautiful, this had the descent into despair and madness I was looking for from The Starving Saints.

    Thoughts on paradise

    i say it so often — i dream of california pre-colonization. fresno as a lush green eden seems incomprehensible. but central california was not meant to be home to almond groves as far as the eye can see.

    “…in a landscape that must have appeared to anyone east of the rockies like an earthly Paradise… given water to pour on its light and otherwise almost desert soil, it can be made to produce a reasonable facsimile of Eden. some of the world’s most spectacular gardens are in los angeles, where southern palm wild litrally grow next to northern conifers, and it was this promise of an ecological miracle that was the areas first really saleable product - the ‘land of perpetual spring.’”

    Thoughts from 10% (page 26)

    “where water was available, mediterranean crops made better sense and profit, olives, vines and - above all - citrus fruits, the first great wealth in southern california after land itself”
