I agree, but if we let this sentiment bleed over and begin infighting with our allies and accomplices we weaken the coalition we need to fix this. Don't let them blunt your ability to organize. Fascism thrives when we self-isolate and drive ourselves and each other apart

One hundred percent. We weren't acquainted on reddit but conversations with it here and on the Beehaw discord have truly made a positive impact on me.

We sent this as a gif to our family to announce that we were having a child, with "life, uh, found a way"

Despite almost two months of not gaining weight despite feeding on demand, our daughter is finally up to the 41st percentile for weight gain by age and is hitting her developmental milestones. Trying to focus on those positives instead of all the negative emotions I'm harboring right now. Trying to remember that she's a tiny little vibe-o-meter and that my primary focus has to be her well-being in spite of everything else that's going on.

Everyone should read Jello Biafra's accounts about Pelosi from back in the day to put her statements in context.

Everyone should read Gaywallet's post from yesterday before commenting. Remember the human on the other screen and be(e) kind

Replicators first, please.

You're not wrong. But this is Beehaw, where we yeet them with prejudice

First and foremost, thank you all for being a part of this wonderful place. You're all part of my extended chosen family - family that doesn't always see eye to eye on everything but knows that we'll have each other's backs instead of putting them to the wall.

Secondly, step away from the chats and the doom to do something positive for yourself in your space, or do something to re-orient yourself. Despair and gloom blunt your efficacy communicating and organizing, and mutual care and aid like we have here on Beehaw are going to be more important than ever.

He was very "ehh, I guess you can hold me" until he saw himself, and then he got really into it.

Today, our gardens were my biggest source of solace and hope, and I hope that yours are comfort for you all as well. I went hard planting more fruit bushes and will be hitting up our town's seed library tomorrow to hedge some bets for next spring.

One of the plant families I went big on this past year is Pycnanthemum - mountain mints. Not only are they a good source of nutrition for pollinators, they have the added benefit of being an abortifacient you can grow on the DL. There are a number of species, not just P. virginianum, so check to see what's endemic to your region and have a patch growing for your local support network <3

What's growing on with you all?

We've had an overnight low of 21°F already, despite the unseasonable daily high temps. One of the things I prefer to do after our first few frosts is harvesting our Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) because of the chemical changes they undergo - the starches change and they become a little sweeter.

If you haven't yet (and you haven't), please suggest a plant nursery doing good things in your region (or a region other than your own, that's fine too) so others visiting can put their plant dollars towards nurseries engaged in good works and social equity.

I am feeling a little sad about the state of my progress in relation to the imaginary and arbitrary goals I had set for myself - every task in the garden reminds me of two not being done. I hope your garden adventures are filling you with joy, though!

Let's share how our gardens are growing, and encourage those seeds we've all planted this year, whether that's in our gardens, someone else's, or within ourselves

I am a bit swamped this week, as I am prepping for a fair on Saturday and also trying to get things squared around the house for my parents to come meet their granddaughter.

Our tomatoes are pretty much done for the season, and I think I'm going to have to clip and cure some of our pumpkins in the hoophouse rather than leaving them on the vine. This morning a friend let me take a truck bed's worth of wild elderberry cuttings for the fair and other fall sales, which was super nice of her.

What's growing on with you all?

Next to him is a white one with even lighter brown along his wings and on the top of his head. The third is a mottled gray boy with white highlights and a black head, while the fourth is black and green on his wings with a black head and white belly]
