Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

Future peppers popping up 🥰🌶️🌱

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now? youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

we love attentive blocking

Winter is here to remind us to rest. Plan, yes. Fight, yes. But rest too. ✨

I am trying so hard to limit the news to chunks I can handle. I am sewing something… I don’t know what yet?

Who could have seen that coming?

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself? I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

Prized possessions!! The Ball Blue Book from 1928 and the Kerr Home Canning Book from 1950. Canning & preservation plans GO WITH garden planning! Want to see some recipes?

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

Plan ahead for the garden & make the most of those expensive eggs! Save up the shells, dry them in the oven, smash 💥, save in an airtight container. Good garden calcium supplement, pest deterrent & fertilizer!

There is a world worth saving.

Ken Martin: "Whose side are we on? Are we on the side of the robber baron, the ultra-wealthy billionaire, the oil and gas polluter, the union buster. Or are we on the side of the American working family, the small business owner, the farmer, the immigrant, and the students?" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Things are REALLY bad. But we need you. Do whatever you need to do to keep going. Maybe it's a news break or some knitting or a hot bath or a fancy cuppa or a walk in the sunshine. It won't fix the terrible things, but it might help you keep going. We need all of us. 💓 Don't give up. 🧶☕️

May I humbly present;

Heads up for you that live in Monroe Washington. ICE is outside of the planet fitness center. It is said they are stationed at Starbucks. Make sure you have your ID and birth certificate. Heard they are stopping cars. Just passing along info.

Taking a moment of peace and waiting for spring.

Sorry I haven’t replied to your email, I’ve been frozen in abject horror watching the government be dismantled in real time.

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Introducing some light reading; The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery. In the 80s, my mom had a subscription that sent her the chapters that she filed in a binder! The author never considered it complete, updating 900pages over decades. #homesteading #gardening #preparation #winterboots

When you can only win with disinformation, data becomes a threat.

I have a serious question for the people smarter than I am - What makes us think he will care what a court says? What happens when lawsuits don’t work?

This is the year that we all go off grid and become hotter and more feral repost for a garden full of food this summer 🙏🌈🌱 #offgrid #gardening #garden #plants #lgbtq

My quiet morning project of the day - seed organization. I admit, I absolutely saw this online somewhere. 🌱🪴✨

Do you have trouble with insect pests on your peas? Try planting them with an aromatic companion such as basil, marigold, nasturtium, or radishes. Just don’t plant them with garlic or onions, as they compete for nutrients and may stunt pea growth. 🌱💚🫛 #companionplanting

Word of the day….

So satisfying!! I am greatful for the knowledge, it is time for resilience and “old” skills. Let’s go.
