waves that are gaining speed and strength. I no longer wish to dare the waves to knock me down. If society has chosen to stand frozen on the beach daring the tsunami to know them down while hoping the video will go viral, so be it. End 🧵

people dying from excessive heat this summer is barely a blip on the radar in the US. It's not from the lack of compassion. It's from the overwhelming catastrophic tsunami of political and societal crap that is bombarding us on a daily basis. Now, I see Europe and Australia headed in the same

Civilization is doing as we ignore the reality of our current predicament. We are daring the waves of reality to knock us down. Considering the overwhelming size of these waves, it's suicide. Every day, I try to do something that will make the coming years less sucky. I can't stop these waves. I

🌱 We're supposed to get our first frost this week. I just harvested: comfrey, sage, peppermint, spearmint, and basil. I filled a gallon sized basket of sage. I don't know if you remember, but deer ate my sage bush down to the ground just as it started to emerge this spring. ...

I just watched a video on collapse. It was so painful to watch. I will share my personal thoughts at the end. Too many have this expectation that tech or politicians will save us. Take a look around. Tech bros have zero interest. Politicians are only interested in power serving their wealthy ...

just vote blue. (Um, the DNC is 100% complicit in corruption that has destroyed our ecosystem. They do not care about poor people. They only care about winning. Schumer is pro-genocide.) As long as society sees rape, racism, abuse, sex trafficking, etc. as just a thing that survivors need to...

This is still too far in the future to be reliable. Still....❄️☃️❄️ Since it's supposed to rain today. I plan on spending time in the greenhouse. I have been cleaning out my shed and separating out my garden stuff and tools and putting it in the new greenhouse. Now, I need to organize it all.

Dog wound help needed Harley somehow managed to tear a piece of a toe pad off. I have no idea how. He doesn't cry out in pain. It's about 3mm across down to the soft issue beneath. It's red, but not oozing. I am going to clean it, cover with gauze, and wrap it. Should I put any ointment on it?

I have read on serval sites that my triple antibiotic ointment is safe as long as I wrap it well so he can't pick it. I am just looking for any other cautionary advice.

Yesterday, I walked to a neighbor's to inform him of the silver alert. He doesn't do social media. He's 84 and a Navy vet. He's this cantankerous curmudgeon who doesn't like anyone...mostly. I helped him put my number in his cell contacts. He also wrote it down on his emergency contact list. ...

He just sent me a text to make sure we did it right. I asked if he had any food allergies so I could bring him soup when I make a big pot. He said, "Nope, but I do love chili!" I reminded him that I am from Texas, and my chili can be a bit spicy. He said that he has plenty of antacids and ....
