my precious organic gardening/horticulture nerd sister was literally jumping up and down for joy over the idea of having a regenerative organic farmer advising the USDA

@suzania@Plough It would be interesting to read a piece which interviewed workers from less glamorized professions--carpenters, hotel managers, janitors, pig farmers, and consider the perspective of people who enjoy working even if their jobs aren't celebrated.
ideally, we probably want a bit of both. but as an author, I want to write characters whose ordinary love becomes extraordinary. Not by passionately declaring, “I would die for you,” but by quietly living for them.
I love Pride and Prejudice and a good L. M. Montgomery romance as much as any daydreamer. But as a writer, I want the ships in my books to have an *achievable* love.
lovers who can just live life together, and have an ordinary, kind, everyday kind of love? that is precious.
anyway, what kind of love would you rather have? the kind that makes passionate declarations, or the kind that stays up all night with the baby or drives the dog to the vet after an extra long shift?
the kind that speaks, or the kind that does?
