After learning about the latest embarrassment for our country this morning, I decided to engage in some productive distraction. So, after splitting firewood, building some shelves in the bathroom, I tried my hand at homemade bread - a loaf of rye and a loaf of banana. #homesteading #agrihood

Decided to bring on the heat this morning with my fermented chilis -- a honey jalapeno-cayenne and an extra hot cayenne-banana pepper concoction. Should be enough to get me through winter...or become handy holiday gifts. I haven't decided yet 🤔

This week's science experiments in Farmer Farley's kitchen: two types of fermented hot sauce and a ginger bug for a batch of ginger beer (non-alcoholic, sorry to disappoint anyone 😁)

Exhausted after removing weeds and hauling tons of soil, but all the blueberries and raspberries are planted with about a dozen more strawberry plants to go...and it's rabbit-proof this year! #homesteading #gardening

I think we're done with the polar vortices for the year here in northern Wisconsin. Cold nights remain, but it's a perfect time to get some things started in the greenhouse - excited to try bok choy and collards (I find myself missing my Florida garden some days) #gardening #homesteading

I will never understand how American voters chose chaos and cruelty over competence and joy. When I saw Harris and Walz on stage, I felt something I haven't felt for years in this country, joy and embrace of life. youtu.be/9UdHdjuodPg?...

This is a great reminder to remain focused. The fascist game plan is to wear us out with all of the chaos, but we need to look ahead and work steadfastly toward reclaiming our democracy remembering that we have strength in numbers as long as we all contribute what we can to the effort.

2/2 As we honor today the legacy of Jimmy Carter, I am reminded that in addition to our dark history of racism and greed that each generation has its share of those who shine. That gives me hope that we can soon be looking at the oncoming clown car in the rear view mirror.

It breaks my heart to think of the America that could've been. As a teacher, I was fortunate to see the potential in the young minds of my students -- not yet tainted by the regressive thinking that divides -- to help create that America that sees the value in its diversity. 1/2

Latest DIY project coming along. Starting missing my students after retiring last May and decided to turn the shed into a studio for online teaching...also keeps me constructively busy during these arctic temps. May post video of this latest learning experience when complete. #Homesteading #Edusky

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams

CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

The United States has the highest GDP in the world by *ten trillion dollars*. It's not even close. Americans should retire at 60 w/ full pension. We should have free universal healthcare. We should have free PreK-PhD education. This belt-tightening ideology is a neurotoxin limiting our potential.
