I don't watch movies and I don't own a TV. My media consumption is low. Why is Skydance such an awful name? I get the huge merger issue, just confused why people hate the name.

I wonder when the orange felon will try to rename Portland Oregon to Boston.

At some point, other nations are going to simply move on from our temper tantrum tariffs. Canada already has, and they look pretty good right now.

The blackout doesn't seem to have much traction. I'm enjoying staying home and buying nothing. #massblackout

Is anyone else not buying? This could be the best year yet to refrain from gifting. I stopped years ago and I can tell you life is better without having to give so many gifts. #massblackout

I voted! I appreciate mail in voting, even though it's 100% mail-delivered balloting. I dropped my ballot off at the elections office. Even though the only candidates on the ballot were for the Cemetery District and the Hospital District. Even though my county doesn't even have a hospital.

Wapito blooming in my small stock tank converted to native pond. This tank is fed from a downspout off my roof. The pond has hosted 2 years of pacific chorus frogs as well, so I'm considering it a success. Skamania County, Washington #pnwgardening #pnwnatives 🌱
flowers of Wapito (Sagittaria cuneata, aka arrowroot) has 3 white petals and a yellowish center.  Leaves are arrow-shaped and on long stems.  Plant is growing in water.

How do #ace people celebrate #pride month? It seems so much more directed towards the leading edge of the long acronym, and I'm so far at the tail it often gets dropped.

My first biochar burn went great. We didn't use a kiln, just a pile that we added to as the wood burned. The biochar will be top dressed around my fruit trees and in the veg beds. #biochar #gardening #PNWgardening 🌱

Love the idea of bloom scrolling today. Here's a rose that I got as a freebie from a local nursery. At the time it was a scraggly couple of twigs that they couldn't sell. When I showed the nursery owner the photo she said it was probably "At Last". 🌱 #bloomscrolling #organicgardening
At Last rose in bloom.  Peachy-pink

My grandmother's Christmas Cactus blooming for Christmas this year. She's bloomed for Easter, for Memorial Day, and for Thanksgiving in the past. I inherited this plant in the 1980s. Amazing.
