We don’t see many US products here in Italy (food quality being the main issue), but if I see any, I’ll probably do a bit of “rearranging”. To be honest though, I think they’ll become even more scarce, for rather obvious reasons

Today was a lovely day spent restocking my herb tins. I received a bag of gloriously fragrant chamomile from my supplier in Germany

When you need to be in the studio but you also need a new shirt - a little bit of sewing amongst the herbs 100% handmade clothing has challenges - it’s going on 6 years now of not buying clothes aside from shoes & socks - but it does take time From the skin out, my designs, my needle & thread

Right after the lockdowns were lifted here in Italy following the pandemic, my husband and I had the opportunity to visit the Vatican while there were no tourists. So here is the #arch in the gilded hallway that is usually filled with people

To celebrate this weeks theme of the #arch I’d like to share a tranquil moment taken at the Abbadia di Fiastra, in Marche, Italy

So I’m peacefully living in Italy, married to a US Veteran, and my husband has become increasingly worried that my posts re politics could make us targets. Out of respect for the tremendous stress he’s under, I’ve created an anonymous account Please give me a follow MarshmallowSamurai.bsky.social

Todays tisane - Mint & Hibiscus. Lovely to drink either hot or cold, and difficult to keep on my shelf - everyone try’s it and immediately has to take some home with them.

Any legal resident, any visa holder, any green card holder, can be snatched off the street, kidnapped, and disappeared, if they don’t like their words - Freedom of Speech be damned And then, of course, this will also be applicable to other groups, as soon as there are new laws they can “break”

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

A moment of peace, for anyone who needs it. The sunrises from my bedroom window are amazing, so when I’m stuck in a cloud, up here on our mountaintop (like today), I always remember the mornings when the sun shows off all its glory. #sunrise #alba

Never give up. 25 years ago I was disabled after a crash 23 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 20 years ago I put the fibro into remission with my own herbal medicines For 17 years I accepted limited mobility 3 years ago I started aikido TONIGHT, I did a standing somersault without injury
55 year old marshmallow shaped woman, wearing a gi, holding a bokkan (wooden Japanese sword), who came back from total disability 25 years ago, to be able to practice the martial art Aikido, and who is childishly giddy over her successfully doing a forward somersault from the standing position, after trying (and failing) for 3 years. 

Never. Ever. Give up on yourself.

So… Krasnov tells his SecDef that Signal is a great way to keep things “secret”, SecDef gets everyone to join chats, Gabbard makes sure the Kremlin has access, and technically nobody leaks info to Putin For all we know, the emojis are a goddamn code. Maybe they are just morons AND traitors

This woman needs someone to rescue her. It’s like watching a DV victim do a video about how great her marriage is, and extoll the virtues of her abuser. Disturbing on so many levels, but the body language, and her eyes are really painful to watch.

If a country cannot be trusted to act ethically, logically, or uphold agreements & treaties, they cannot be trusted at all Buying weapons from the US is a bad spending decision at best, and a massive risk for national security at worst Aside from the “supporting Nazis is never a good idea” thing

The garden is filling up with calendula, a clear indication that spring is well on its way. I collect blossoms all year, but the explosion of color in spring is my favorite time to gather calendula for my medicines. #naturalmedicine #healpeople

Of course. The person being robbed of their earned benefits, should just sit quietly and wait to die, rather than inconvenience the rich guys who robbed them by complaining about their imminent death - because they must be a thief if they don’t want to die. Makes perfect sense

Making people fear that: - They’re gonna lose their healthcare - Their families & friends are gonna be deported - They’re gonna lose their Social Security - Their kids are gonna lose their education IS RADICAL DOMESTIC TERRORISM Pass it on…
