I may be the last one to notice, but right wing media tends to not use a subscription model. This is hugely consequential! You never see a paywall when clicking on a link from Fox News, Breitbart, One America etc., which translates into massive reach and readership of lies and disinformation.

This delightful orchid, Clowesia Rebecca Northen, needs a dry rest season of 3-4 months in order to bloom. It loses all its leaves and shrivels up, with zero watering, and then these lovely flower stalks emerge from what looks like a dead plant, smelling like grapefruit or pink lemonade. #orchids

The blackest orchid in my collection and, as a bonus, It's also very fragrant, especially in the morning. FDK After Dark 'SVO Black Pearl' FCC/AOS (Fredclarkeara - named after famed CA orchid grower Fred Clarke of Sunset Valley Orchids, who developed this unusual and beautiful hybrid). #orchids

It's the last day of Hanukkah and I just barely squeezed in a big batch of potato latkes in the nick of time. Yum yum yum 😋.
