Lover of words, birds, permaculture, food forests, rewilding, and the idea that gender and sexuality are on a spectrum.

I visited the tulips on the Pearl Street mall in Boulder. 🌱
Queen of the night tulips, so purple, they’re almost black. Two tulips cross each other, their pedals arranged like the heads of two friends leaning on each other. In the background is a blurry shot of a pedestrian mall. Same shot as the one I just described, but the background is the leaves of other tulip plants.A shot of closed buds of red and pink tulips, about 20 of them, in a garden bed.A garden bed on the Pearl Street mall with black metal edging. The tulips are dark pink with yellow edges, and they curve out at the bottom and top.

Reservation land is held in trust by Congress. So you might lease an acre to live on, but you can’t use it as collateral for a loan or build equity on it. www.nhonews.com/features/let...

This book, the story of a gay sleeping car porter traveling across 1920s Canada, is fabulous. I love the staccato paragraphs in which the porter walks the train and does his chores while trying not to fall asleep.

The beauty of late-blooming rabbit brush at Bluff Lake.
This is a picture, looking down on a blooming aster plant in front of a blooming rabbit brush plant. The color of the asters is lilac and the color of the rabbit brush flowers is yellow.

Workers at the Hyatt Regency downtown Denver are negotiating for better wages and affordable healthcare, but Hyatt has not yet agreed. Meanwhile, Hyatt is proceeding with a $70 million renovation of the rooms in that location. www.fairhotel.org

Every day on my way to water my community garden plot, I walk by this house. Almost every day the goose has a new outfit. This one is my favorite so far.

The founder of project ID explains why 26 million Americans lack IDs that they need to open a bank account or rent an apartment or even get food at a food bank, and how a federal ID for everyone would solve this problem.

A cherry tree I pruned (my ax is in the left-hand picture) and a plum tree in bloom. Go food forests! 🌱

There was a house finch singing loudly, but the video didn’t pick it up.

I’ve been posting here since December & wanted to introduce myself. I’m looking to connect with other recycling nerds, gardeners, Tolkien fans, poets, and fiction writers. I love to share what I know about waste management & what I’m learning about mycology and community gardens and food forests.

I went to the protest today at the state capital in Denver. I arrived late, but there were people standing along Lincoln with signs and drivers were responding positively. There was lots of honking. As I stood there, protestors who had marched around the area came up and joined us.
