I’ll be popping these things into all the deadfall within a mile of me. 🤣🤣🤣 Let the re-wilded foods flourish!

So excited and hopeful! If anyone wants to try their hand at it, look at Paul Stamet’s website for types of wood that work. We have spare plugs in maitake that are thriving. Unsure about the shiitake plugs - they might have gotten warm.

1 month, 15 logs, about 1,000 holes drilled and filled, and 3 varieties of spore plugs later, we’re done! In 6 months, if all goes well, we’ll have shiitakes. In 12 we’ll have a little lion’s mane. And in 2 years, testing every bit of patience and I can handle, we’ll have maitakes.

Finished our mushroom log plug project yesterday! It took us a month because of my interpretation of Eph’s statement, “let’s start small, like 3 logs.” “Start….. Small…..?????” *bork*

I would rather include you than exclude you in the celebration of what it means to be a woman. Because that’s what *any* of my many mothers would do. Women bring solidarity and community.

I would rather stand beside you than against you, and keep pushing forward for our rights - and the rights of all the underserved and oppressed who need them.

Immigrants CREATE JOBS. They do not STEAL THEM. They start businesses, they hire people, and 66% of every dollar spent with them will stay in your community. HERE IN CANADA, 32% of businesses are owned by immigrants. We have 800,000 self-employed immigrants, & 250,000 of them have employees.

As we look to the future, immigrant entrepreneurs and business leaders will have an important role to play ensuring we have a growing and successful economy.

Widely regarded as a champion of the working class, Matapacos first showed up in 2010, just as students began organizing for free education. The young radicals knew him as a faithful comrade who endured tear gas and water cannons, and who only ever attacked or barked at pacos (slang for cops).

Have you heard about Riot Dogs? Strays will often join in on protests and riots, defending the protesters. One famous example of this is the revered Negro Matapacos, a Chilean riot dog. Im adding a photo of Negro Matapacos to my altar for this winter/spring, to help me channel my fear into courage.

A full 30 days. Finally back to 75% energy, and coughing to get the last of the deep lung crap out. Fucking hell. I feel amazing at 75% compared to HOW BAD I felt for so long. Get your shots folks, this one was rough.

Brushing up on and learning new information and skills. Root cellars today. I’ve heard about ethylene gas and food, but my knowledge went about as far as its existence. If you’ve ever been curious, see pics. Source in comments.

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Good to know there’s workarounds, though (for now?) like replacing letters with numbers to create a code.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Would anyone be interested in teaching or attending classes at my shop, Crystal Lounge? I am trying to figure out how to help right now, and skillshare classes on topics of canning, weaving, etc seem like they may be helpful. I hope we don’t NEED these skills, but they’d be good to have if we do.
