“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This little crested cactus was a cutting from an acquaintance. I haven't been able to identify the genus/species so far, but love the crested pups and unusual colors. #cactus #crestedcactus #succulents #plantsky #gardeningfeed

Did my best to surround our home with cold hardy #flowers, and it pays off especially in January & February when we need it the most. This is a King Henry Violet. We also have hyacinth starting to bloom and daffodils leafing out. #garden 🌱

A close shot of the entrancing 'Cahokia' from 1948. Heavily diamond dusted, it just sparkles in the sunshine. Such a pale blue it is practically white. 🌱 #iris

Love finding old photos of gardens so you can compare them to the present. These are taken from 30 years ago, after just a few years from when the raised beds were installed. 🌱🌿💚 #Gardening

Video: 9 clips from the documentary Israel doesn't want you to see - and the BBC deleted. Here's a little that might show why Israel wanted 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone' off the air - if you know of more, drop them in the replies...

The prime minister has failed to produce any evidence to back up “baseless” and “poisonous” claims in a newspaper article that large numbers of young disabled people are pretending they are not fit enough to work.

The first crocuses of the year starting to pop in my garden now, I wonder why it's always the yellow ones that turn up first? #FlowersOnFriday 🌱📷 #bloomscrolling #gardening
