This is a Gullah Geechee community just above where I stay in FL. I've watched this no less than 4 times over the years&it hits so hard&so deep for so many reasons&somehow it's invisible, ignored. I resent who's heard these days. Y'all listening to the wrong people. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0dTe...

How bout a bit of good woman juju breaking thru the gloom of the manosphere? This is Farmer Bill's 51st season running the nursery I work at & last season was his first season with an almost all woman crew. Not only did he bring us all back-he told one of us it was his best crew in all those years.🌿

When eggplant parmesan and pizza become one. (gonna refrain from using an eggplant emoji here) 🔥🍕🔥 🍜

And away we go... Greenhouses opened.

Thursday alone in the woods is my favorite.✨🌿✨

I used to joke that I wanted a chip in my head so strangers could download my knowledge to start conversation on equal ground. Mostly my farm words are lost on people not knowing monocultures from guilds, mechanized from hand, gps subsidized from 501c3..It'd be easier if we all knew the same stuff.

If you're going to follow me to come post oddly incorrect farm/food supply info.. (especially if my food systems graduate work was in YOUR STATE) ...& then block me when I throw truths at you, just don't follow me to begin with friend! I've lived/visited the places I speak of so I'm not guessing.

Attn Central Ohio folks, you can order seedlings for your garden from me here: rock-dove-farm.square.site/shop/seedlin... Everything I offer has been trialed on my farm in Madison County, Ohio🌱

Everytime I say I'm not posting farm stuff-I do...alas serendipity demands it. This post won't even scratch the surface, but every tag is fully trackable. The photo of the small group was winter produce I bought in FL grocery store in Dec&Jan-cabbage from PA, Sweet Potato/squash/herbs from CA.. 1/4

Somedays I wish people would tell me what their paid work & academic credentials are so I can lecture them about their shit the way people lecture me about mine. BITCH i've done the work & been to all the places. This is a silly platform with 300 character limit. You won't know me even if I wanted.

While I'm shouting out the good work, I'll share this video from a few years ago that doesn't have nearly enough views. I wish more people wanted to amplify farm/food/equity solutions over problems, cause you have access to people like @thinkbetter.bsky.social here on 🦋 m.youtube.com/watch?v=6pyV...

@gwpda.bsky.social shared this great AZ produce initiative. Another great effort being ignored. Most states have something like this - but y'all be too busy ordering from amazon and then complaining about who's vote got us here. Use your brain/wallet - act locally. www.borderlandsproducerescue.org

And you just made me realize who you remind me of, it's been bugging me. Awesome human being!! www.goldmanprize.org/recipient/di...

I really am at a loss here... This doc is proving that companies like Formosa just think they can relocate to trash and kill another community - and that WHITE BREEDERS ARE SOMEHOW WHY WE START PAYING ATTENTION?!? Ugh I don't even. Point Comfort Texas ground zero 6 years ago.. STOP JUDGING THE SOUTH

More of this guy and less of everybody else. johnwarner.org

On a lighter note - stop "thanking" your immigrant farmers for "feeding you" AND ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE LABELING ON THE PRODUCE AT YOUR GROCERY STORE!!! This whole table and ONLY THE APPLES ARE FROM THE UNITED STATES!! I seriously give up. Y'all don't give a fuck about truth.

It is so difficult to not be furious with you all for normalizing what's fed to you. I farm because I had to change my whole life to reverse my Grave's Disease after YEARS of "top endocrine hospitals" trying to reverse it. After years of being told it was genetic instead of environmental 1/4

I really don't post much farming on here for a lot of reasons, but since I just dug this old post up during a potassium chat with another grower yesterday I may as well share it back on my page. Bananas in Missouri. The elders have been doing it forever. These plants were 4 years "old" at this trim.

Do I miss having a husband, house that I own full of kids & pets where I had a greenhouse that I built & a yard where I could grow whatever I wanted? Hell yes - no doubt, but then some days grace reigns & the joy of cooking, eating, watching what I want washes over. 🍜 Gumbo & darts for breakfast. 🔥

Robert L Arnold @defiance13.bsky.social 3/15 Women’s History Month - (For My Daughter) 1/3

Pretty much just trying to stay sane at this point. Food as medicine ain't just about nutrition - sometimes it's about ancestral meditation. Calzone made of the odds and ends that needed using up in my fridge. Zero waste. 💥🍽️💥 Arrabbiata, bacon, onion, and mozzarella. 🍜

By the way-this is also #501c3 I've never understood why people are so quick to judge effectiveness of 501c3s - just like any business some are run well & some are not, but failure is not inherent in structure, it's about people. Big ag & #H-2A aren't the only farms. m.youtube.com/watch?v=rued...

I'm trying to fight the vast misperception of farms & who farmers ARE that the media & Sarah Tabor tout. So I share this urban farm(s) started by a farmer from Mexico-because when I was in a masters of sustainable food systems program the law of resilience is small & many. urbantilth.org

I used to farm on parcels cause I live in a city & we do this. No millionaires. No billionaires. No maga. No land owning "farmers"(but Miss Rosie-she does own that city plot across from her house in North St. Louis). We rented space from her & all the other photos are rented space. #cityfarm #501c3

I used to farm on rooftops - cause I live in a city so we do this. No millionaires. No billionaires. No maga. No "farmer" land owners... just us actual farmers (3 of us) whose contract positions were "farmer". #rooffarm #cityfarm #501c3

W/the understanding that my posts are always on the outside, because apparently everyone lives in all white places w/enough money/surrounded by democrats,but the Target by me HAS ALWAYS BEEN BLACK WOMEN&MEN & OLD WOMEN OF COLOR!! Do you all seriously think Target employees are all white? stfu

Healing is knowing that some ghosts have already become soil. We leave them in the ground, and keep turning toward the light. #HealingKnotes 🌻🌱

On Tuesday a member of the manosphere was asking me how I had the knowledge coming up in our conversation, and when I said being a farmer and food hub chef he kept saying but what's your real job... cause DFs don't know the difference between H-2A and 501c3 where I was paid- bsky.app/profile/ther...

I'm Lebanese-my grandmother was born in Beirut. My father was a gunner boat Vietnam Vet who's files were declassified just before he OD'd. My sibling is CIA and sent me a survival guide back in 2013 with a note to find him when the apocalypse comes; what would I know? Carry on.

My email is an endless stream of “upgrade to get access to—“ I don’t want it. I want to downgrade. I want to get less access. I want the opposite of what you’re selling.

Aaaandd some nice but messy homemade thin mints made with my granny Nova's cookie cutter. Good night. 🍽️ 🍜 🤜💨

Sadly I'm sure no one will watch or watch this all the way thru... but if you do and then read my post from long ago maybe you can start to hear... but probably not.

I am NOT an 🍊 supporter AT ALL, but I'm a fact supporter & cannot for the life of me understand why you all are saying he's wrong about the US being the biggest producer of oil & that surge pricing means making more off exports. Those are facts-he just doesn't mean YOU when he says "we"make more.

The confluence of NHK featuring kiwis this morning, me being gifted too many kiwis by my stepdad, and me having overnight rubbed skirt steak ready to go=the weirdest (delicious) combo ever. Sesame beef w/kiwi tartar, mac n cheese cup & side salad w/homemade croutons. Shit's weird over here.🍽️ 🍜

Living in a city can be hard for me, but luckily my hometown is equally country and city... ..so I can still watch nature's cycles when I go running in our "woods"... ..like when the great blue herons show up first to nest. #blueheron #eastcoastkin

Pretty sure that learning about Harrison Sullivan, Amrou Fudl and the Manosphere today just ruined my life, altho it does explain why I have men saying "shhh men are talking" to my face and telling me no man is ever friends with a woman without alterer motive. Cool. Great. And you wonder why 🍊 won?

Look at how @ok2panic.bsky.social is. 🔥🙌🔥

In honor of my Managerial Serve Safe expiring in a couple weeks-I've transitioned my processing our farm produce thru our food hub, to how I cook for myself at my own home... So here's Edna Lewis's pastry chicken & a whole weeks worth ($40) of amazing food processed in one day for the whole week. 🍽️🍜

People wearing ornaments and fancy clothes, carrying weapons, drinking a lot and eating a lot, having a lot of things, a lot of money: shameless thieves. Surely their way isn't the way. - Lao Tsu

Good Evening Motherfuckers it’s Friday

People want houses -- not apartments. Why not pass a law that discourages McMansions but encourages small (2 bdrm?), affordable housing developments for 1st time buyers like they did after WW2?

Y'all got yer bull and I got mine. 🎯

Will this country still exist by then?

I don't get this space. You will never forgive those who didn't vote? Who are you talking to? I know at least 7 people in real life who didn't vote from black men to black women to white men to Indian people-they're not here-never will be & they don't care bout you. You just want validation pile up.

My discover feed is an absolute rage inducing nightmare today, & while tomorrow I will choose violence today I choose tools of affordable zen meditation. $3 of ingredients = 3 maki rolls. Not gonna break it down cause rolling sushi isn't a recipe or formula. Get trained by masters & practice. 🍜

Systems don’t pivot because the spotlight shifts. They move when pressure does.

I promise that if I ever own anything and have employees that I will reward original thought - because gatekeepers with money constantly dismissing my ethnobotany training has been/is unbearable. I can and will grow cacao and I can and will make hot chocolate with it for breakfast. 🤜🔥 🍜 🍽️

A song that my chosen family wrote about my chosen family - that I accidentally photographed all of, because for some of us frontlines isn't a choice, but damn are the lessons deep as the ocean.

Bluesky - where advocating for free speech and underrepresented populations is top priority! ...unless they think differently - then russian bot, report, block. It's like blue X over here. Miss me on your echo chamber bullshit. If you can't hear people who think different you're the problem.

I can't even speak about Nurul Amin Shah Alam. All I have to say is that the people constantly distinguishing between ICE, CBP and the REGULAR COPS are fools. That's it.
