Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

I can’t keep track of days, but I can share my fave pottery pic of the week. Take care of yourselves and do what you can with what you have. Experimental bottle - hoping it turns out more forest floor than ocean floor after firing

Reddish clay bottle with little bits and patterns added around the neck that hopefully will look like moss after it’s glazed and fired

One cool thing about the United States is that there are more people whose job is to deny healthcare coverage without having any medical background than there are people to provide healthcare coverage and they’ve somehow convinced people that the doctors are where the monetary waste is happening

I think it’s more that many people have an unconscious urge to ignore things that are too bad to be true. Working in the ER, I saw lots of late stage cancer diagnoses come about this way, too. It’s barely willful - it’s more magical thinking than intentional ignorance.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

True, veganism reduces immensely ones carbon footprint, specially if we are also talking about à vegan life style and not only diet... but again many habits can be adopted to change ones footprint. Kindness and education is what brings people together and willing to change their habits.

For your gardening fun, growing sweet potatoes is pretty easy! Buy a sweet potato, cut it up, and when the “slips” or shoots have got some nice roots AND it’s getting warm out, plant them! #gardenlife #localfood #backyardgarden

I found gardening back in 2019 when I literally threw some seeds into some dirt outside the place I’d just moved to. Now I have a big garden and even bigger plans for this year 🌱 This big mama is among the last of 2024 sweet potatoes, but she will live on this year! Her slips are growing!

My hand holding a pretty big sweet potato, from which the end has been cut off for growing slips (new potato plants for this year). Trays planted with sweet potato chunks are in the background.

Whoops - got sick & utterly filled with despair @ the state of (waves hands) things Day 6: Serviceberry, Amelanchier spp, Rose family (Rosaceae) I am growing seeds from a artsy friend @hooeybatiks.bsky.social. Today’s intersectionality is that instead of the other organisms that visit this plant.

Serviceberries - red and pink, about the size of blueberries, from our tree - planted about 30 years ago. The birds also love them.

Tiny plants growing in a tray in my greenhouse. Yes, it’s plastic. I will use it as long as I can, have some chill please.
