Jimbocho, Japan, a historical town of bookstores. A jilted lover. Reconnecting with an uncle who ultimately saves her life. An enchanting city street with loveable characters. A weekend trip in the mountains to visit a temple. Love and redemption. #booksky #booklife #readthis #satoshiyagisawa

Another harvest to add to my perpetual Black Eyed Pea stash. I'm so happy that the plants are reawakening for fall. They went dormant in the heat. Hopefully, I'll have enough for New Year's Day. #blackeyedpeas #aridadventuresingardening #zone9b #gardensky #lasvegasbluesky #mojavedesert

Started asparagus in early spring. It will take probably a couple of years before I have spears. The crowns have to be soaked overnight. Add 10-10-10, triple phosphate to potting soil, mound the soil, and spread the crowns over the mound. Cover with dirt and mulch. #lasvegasbluesky #gardensky

Started these sweet potatoes from a Beauregard Sweet Potato back in January. It took almost three months to sprout. The sprout grew roots quickly, and I planted the slips in May. It's almost the end of September, and I'm working up the courage to dig them up soon. #lasvegasbluesky #gardensky

Jing Orange Okra. It was the first to sprout and the first to fruit out of the 8 varieties of okra that I planted in my garden this season. #lasvegasbluesky #gardenbluesky #inthegarden #desertgardener #jingorangeokra #okra

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

This 🤨 MAGAts are in a cult and their extreme devotion to the cult leader has blinded them to truth and to reality.

Harvesting greens. Kohlrabi, Swiss Chard, Brussells Sprouts, beets, brocolli, and turnips. Also harvested turnips roots and cabbage, but not pictured. My apologies. The second time that I say beets is actually brocolli greens. #LasVegasBluesky #GardenBluesky #LasVegasGardener

No matter what RFK Jr says, I will oppose amputations anesthetized with whiskey, bloodletting and surgeries performed by candlelight. I am not nostalgic about the illiterate Middle Ages.

#BlackHistoryMonth So many talented, intelligent people that went unrecognized for their accomplishments in this country. We must NEVER forget those inspiring, beautiful people! 🫶♥️

This is a great piece.

The Smith family owns 600 acres of land, which has been passed down since the 1920s. A superior court judge recently ruled that a railroad company could seize their property. They are now appealing the decision to the Georgia Supreme Court. capitalbnews.org/georgia-fami...

"This was more than just a rap performance; it was a critique of American culture...with the symbolism of the perils of the inner city...decrying the results of racial profiling...[and] alluding to reparations." - Jason Jones on Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show

I'm hoping that the Brussels Sprouts hang in there and mature before the heat hits. The Bok Choy has bolted. The bees are happy. #DesertGardener #DesertGardener #BlueskyGarden #BlueskyGardener #LasVegasBluesky

A White House official told April Ryan that if African American History is taught at HBCUs that receive federal funds, those monies will be extracted from the school.

And 🤨 I’m going to repost everyday your Jan6 video of the insurrection that racist lying convicted felon planned for months then incited that MAGA mob that morning to attack our nation’s capitol.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Their aim is nothing short of a new Dark Ages. Anti-science, anti-education, anti-democracy, in favor of needless human suffering. NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

It's gardening season. I was out in the yard pruning the Mexican Bird of Paradise and soaking the Agave with Bonide Tree and Shrub, and what did I see? Cauiflower!! Normally, seeing cauliflower in a garden is no big deal, but this was planted back in October, and I live in Vegas! #DesertGarden

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

The dock tragedy on Sapelo Island forces the Gullah Geechee community into a state of alert, as they face displacement, neglect, & rising property taxes. Yet, the descendants remain resilient, as they continue to fight to protect their culture, heritage and land. capitalbnews.org/sapelo-islan...

As a former federal prosecutor who worked for the Justice Department for 25 years, I cannot fully express how outrageous and corrupt it is to amass a list of every person who worked on a case, with an eye to firing them because the president didn't like the case. www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/p...

Intuit, the owner of Turbotax, is against Americans being able to do for free what Turbotax can charge them for. Intuit made a $1,000,000 contribution to the 2025 Trump Inaugural Committee. Trump and Musk don't care about helping Americans, it's all about helping themselves--preferably to money.

I had to read this real slow, twice.
