News flash - I auto scroll past your AI event flyers and possibly miss things I would be interested in because that gpt formatting annoys my so brain badly I can't even read it You catch more flies with 15 minutes of actual work 😘

About to sit down with my spirit lamp and some agar, & 3 special fungal guests, including the craziest wild Hericium I have ever seen (pictured) I was mentally writing a little Star Wars esque intro score while setting up & titled it "Hope of the New Clones" if anyone wants a bad band name 👽

In the face of endless waves of images shattering the meaning of being an artist, I will be staying hand-painted and homespun for the duration as an act of preservation. Hopefully long after death, while the pixel storm burns at the rate of the algorithm 🖤🪡

I started finally building my farm stand... It's skeletal and minimalistic yet somehow also nonsensically huge and heavy 🙃 Like we're going to need to borrow a tractor to move it, or carry it to the roadside in pieces and re-assemble it there 🫠 The whole thing is full dimensional rough hemlock 🌲

Feeling like 💩 so I hobbled down the front hill to get some day lily petals for a bright, nutritious roasted beet, flower petal and gorgonzola salad 😋 hopefully these fresh phytonutrients help

Customers seem to trip over the word "spawn" a bit in the GYO mushroom biz I prefer "inoculum" but that word seems to generate blank stares Should I just force my ND brain to shut up and let them call it "spores" when actual spores are 0% involved in making spawn? Or is the knowledge valuable? 🫠

Went out to a favorite spot last night on the Pemigewasset River and realized I had never noticed this epic giant American Basswood tree Splotches of golden hour light through the canopy illuminating perfect branches in full flower, all I could do was stare 🥹🥰🍃🌳

A branch of American Basswood in early evening sunlight. It has large, broad, rounded leaves with a point at the end, and cascades of tiny yellowish flowers peeking out from between the leaves

If nothing else, it's now easier to discern who will look past and make excuses for the p€dophile r@pists in their family / social group / workplace Because sadly fam, it's all happening in our neighborhoods and action will be required from all of us if it's going to stop

Going out braless as a big titty middle age woman is important to society Because writing a mental opinion column about the body parts of someone old enough to be your mother is a hilarious step on the path to understanding that you're the problem

Morning 1 of my little dooryard potager after planting yesterday 🌱 Central indeterminate heirloom tomato tripod surrounded by garlic stockade, kitchen herbs, annual cutting flowers, and 3 red-flowered pole beans ❤️ I can't wait to see it in 30 days 🥹💚🌿

A small, rounded in ground garden with a central bamboo tripod and scattered large flower pots at the edges. The photo is taken from an entryway and the end of the railing is in the photo. Baby plants are planted throughout the garden but most are very small and hard to determine. There is a thin, faintly traveled circular pathway around the center tripod.

Genetics-based medicine and supplementing for deficiencies not fixable with food saved me from daily pain and mental illness Everyone deserves this kind of care and it's right around the corner - because it's less expensive than treating decades of chronic disease and the old system is breaking 🧬

It's not impossible or even that difficult to break societal norms on a planetary scale without being rich or famous Real culture, not the false reflection that comes out of screens, is built from choices - one individual at a time 🩵

While decorating, asking husbands/ male partners "Do you like this?" is rarely going to get an honest response due to programming Instead ask *if* they want to add some masculine design touches that reflect their style. Even if they say no, the "she actually cares what I think" glow is real 💘💡😘

One thing I will never get used to about New England is the mass cry-fest every time a single drop of precipitation falls We're still in a drought if you all could look past your own nose for a few minutes It might be time for another several-years long vacay from talking to people 🥲⛈️😹
