Im now growing lettuce in my backyard and will avoid Taylor Farms like the plague it is. Shameful behavior.
I put in a garden after he was re-elected because I just knew in my bones things would get harder and we are eating a lot out of the yard right now. Victory Gardens are the future (and the past)!
Highly recommended the documentary series starting with this one on Industrial vs Regenerative Farming.
Documentary Recommendation: The third and final film in the series. There are already so many farmers and people around the world who’ve shifted away from Industrial to Regenerative Farming. Please support them!
Documentary Recommendation: Watched the second part in the trilogy. Regenerative Farming is the way to heal the climate. We need to support these farmers.
Dresser and original art both thrifted. For way less than I could buy new.
Suffs is on YouTube (PBS) and is exactly what I needed. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend.
Going hands free at the protest so I can knit. (Gonna clip the balloon to my jeans).
lol. Somebody tagged our building the morning after he was elected and my dog had a similar reaction. 😂
Omg. I just cut in my very first afterthought heel and I’m stressed! 😂
lol. I’m a middle age grandma posting about Lina Khan at the same time you’re over here posting this. I think you’re correct. I will not be satisfied until she’s dismantled all these monopolies into tiny pieces.
Melt The Ice Hat is done. Pattern proceeds have now raised over $600,000 for Minnesota Mutual Aid and Immigration Rights groups. Carry on, Warriors!
Meanwhile 300 miles to the Canadian border we are having a balmy day.
Melt the Ice hat is coming along. I’m holding fingering weight doubled and love how spongey the ribbing feels.
Working on my Melt the Ice hat while waiting for yoga class to start.
My annual New Year’s gift to myself. I like to buy a heap of yarn for the year. This year: sock yarns 🧦
Checking in from Spokane Washington at the ICE OUT solidarity protest with Minnesota.
Checking in from the Multi-Faith vigil in solidarity with Minnesota. Spokane, Washington. 🙏
Spokane: come join me tomorrow in solidarity with Minnesota.
A Minute of Quiet. Collective meditation. 💛 Daily. 9pm EST/6pm PST
We interrupt this mental spiral for a little ukulele practice. Truly worried my stress levels are in the very unhealthy zone. Trying to back off the ledge.
I came for the tiny needle knitting and stayed for the anti ICE messaging.
