Here is a thread about our habitat restoration project in North Carolina. I'll keep it updated with photos and progress when I remember. In 2020, we bought a parcel of land just outside of Candor, NC, in the Uwharrie National Forest. It's off of a dirt road in a pretty remote section of the county.

🍂 FALL SHOP UPDATE 🍂 Mark your calendars! My largest update of the year goes live next Friday, October 2nd at 11 AM PT! New tea towels, keychains, patches, pins, stickers, prints, and so much more!

Have watched others take this course and been jealous of them. I finally took the plunge and signed up this morning. There is a sliding fee scale (see thread). So, if you're unemployed (like me!) or just having a hard time financially, maybe you can still find a way to jump in.

Friends! Can I ask you a favour? My 🐦 + 📊 course starts next week. I'm super excited but registration is worryingly low. Can you share this with your weirdo nature + art + code friends? jerthorp.me/learning

I spent most of the day string trimming and mowing and working on other chores. Hot but tolerable. I drank a half gallon of gatorade. I also found these oyster mushrooms! Those are going in the dehydrator tonight.

Today was a good day to remove Tree of Heaven! We have a few patches here and there around the property. I have been using a herbicide called Pathfinder 2 with an added red dye to see where I have treated. If you just cut them down without herbicide, they will sprout back up all around.

Bari Weiss not beating the bootlicking propagandist allegations here:

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

Just paste one more code. Look in your email. Look on your phone. Open the authenticator app. Don't give this code out. Give this code to the person on the phone. What's the passphrase? Answer a security question. Are you a robot? Click on these sidewalks. Look in your email for a code.

This photo was taken one block from my house. I hate this, and I won’t stop hating it. A frequent comment is that the troops are just standing around shooting the shit, playing on their phones. But they’ll also openly act hostile and contemptuous towards the people they’re supposedly protecting.

Periodic reminder: D.C. remains patrolled all over the city by armed members of the National Guard deployed to do so by President Trump.

This is still happening. This is still white supremacist fascism. This is still ethnic cleansing.

More collusion, yayyy. And be on the lookout for that big, blue bus thing.

do not look away from this. this is still ethnic cleansing. this is still fascism. This is not about immigration law or law enforcement. This is the power fantasies of every fucking CHUD too shitty to get a job as a mall cop.

Minnesotans are back out in serious numbers because of the drawdown you think actually happened.

Kansas is a largely rural prairie state. Its nearly impossible to live in much of the state without driving. Taking away people's ability to drive on short notice without any individual wrongdoing is malicious, and it will cause further criminalization of people who can't respond fast enough.

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

They are moving to deport Liam. They are stepping up retribution against observers. They are not stopping, there is no draw down. This is ethnic cleansing, this is fascist a exercise in power. DO NOT STOP LOOKING AT MINNESOTA. #ABOLISHICE

Minnesota understood the assignment. Minnesota acted. Minnesota fights for your freedom. They will come for you next. HAVE OUR BACKS, USA.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

David Roberts@volts.wtf

Today on Volts: while some blue states hedge on their green commitments, Illinois is doubling down, passing its third major energy bill in a decade. Among other things, this one empowers the state's utility regulator to directly procure clean energy. I get into it w/ two of its architects.
