Ask ghosts.
Good time to remind everyone that you can get seeds and live plants for food bearing species using American SNAP food benefits. No telling what this administration will do to benefits, so if you have a little food insecurity and have been eyeing a corner of your yard thinking about #gardening
In a world full of terrible LotR analogies, be Tom Bombadil. Sing and shitpost and laugh about everything.
Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

I do not want that stupid app.
It’s spyware-bloated, full of crap.

I want appliances that work,
without tattling to some techbro jerk.

I’m sick of “AI” garbage-spew,
Sick of silo’d platforms too.

To analog I shall return,
and wait for all this mess to burn.

We did it!!!

We built a new free fridge and community pantry!

It took about a hundred days from deciding to do it, through planning, and finally execution (thread above tracks this). And that is for putting down concrete and electrical. If we did a simple fridge on a pallet, it can be quicker. But even going all out, dang!

So we held the ribbon cutting ceremony. A lot of folks showed up to do the initial stock. Now we'll maintain it and spread the word out to the community. The town has a food resource app. The library maintains a list. I'll add it to our site. The local paper is writing an article.

This is also just the first part of this fridge. They're adding another pantry and an awning to cover it all.

Alright. This one is done. On to the next one!

Along with #leavetheleaves, another way you can help wildlife in your garden is not to cut everything down right away. Standing dead vegetation provides overwintering habitat for pollinators and other insects (some even nest in the hollow plant stems) and foraging opportunities for birds. Here I'm channeling my inner Piet Oudolf a bit but I always leave these plants standing in my garden--they will look great with a dusting of snow. #gardening #autumn #WildLife #birds #pollinators
Oh… hey. No, no, I didn’t need the toilet. I was… uh… just checking the toilet paper level. #caturday because i couldn’t wait to post this until tomorrow.
