Pretty trees on a pretty rainy day 🌸🌧️

Watering my wolffia. I've kept this cup like this for about 5 years #lowmaintenanceplants

My recently renovated terrariums

I repaired a tear in my sock 👍 #clothingrepair #sewing

An experiment that turned out delicious. Crumbled amaranth wafers and blended oatmeal for the crust (microwaved for ~4 minutes), pudding and frozen mixed berries for the filling 🍰

“burn the entire democracy down and start over” is an opinion equivalent to “apocalyptic times are good because the rapture is coming and I’ll go to heaven” in that it’s a way people give themselves permission to do none of the complex and difficult things that would make things a little better now

More progress on the sample cowl for our kits that will be coming soon! These will first be available at the Fiber Blitz show in January and online afterwards. In the meantime, don’t forget that our entire shop is on sale!! hartfordyarnworks.com #sale #Yarn #Knitting #Crochet #indiedyedyarn

Disability justice activists were an important part of grassroots efforts to shut down Atlanta’s Cop City. I covered their work in this piece — worth revisiting as we think about who is most vulnerable to the growing police violence in our cities and how we can come together against it.

How do we get people who didn’t vote to do it next time. And no I don’t mean by the candidate having no positions on issues. Or being someone who nobody can have a criticism of. I mean how do we get them to see that the outcome has weight. Is there a way to get them to see the outcome matters?

I don't remember who it was but there was someone who advocated for each child to start life being given an x thousand dollar savings account. And people kept saying 'that'll never happen why do you keep talking about it' and the person said that they'll Keep Saying It bc it's the Right Thing To Do

They’ve gone rogue against American fascism. They aren’t going to back down when it comes to our rights. Don’t mess with the good people from Rogue Valley. It’s not a left or right issue. It’s an American promise. 🇺🇸

If we banned owning second homes we wouldn't have to build a million new apartment complexes everywhere.

Gutted to get 2 messages from kids in my family telling me I need to try harder to socialize at the holidays & “get over” being sick I do so much disability advocacy to try and help people understand that it’s not our fault We can’t “try harder” Yet I can’t get my family to understand Crushed

I just realized that I can winter sow my onions for my garden now. Gardening season 2026 has begun!!!! I will do it this weekend. #Gardensky #Gardening #Onions

If I decided it was too much bother to clean my house so I moved into an igloo in Antarctica for the rest of my life, you'd think I was awful stupid. Tech bros deciding they'd lose too much profit if they stopped destroying the Earth because they can move to Mars someday is even stupider.

"Stop over-identifying with your autism. Stop making your struggles an identity." Allistics feels insulted when I don't want to follow their routines and rituals. THEY should stop over-identifying with their allism and making everything about their allism.

You don't even need conspiracy theories of blackmail and spies to understand why the West keeps supporting Israel. It's just capitalism, doing capitalist things. Extracting land, gas, testing tech/weapons on humans, justified with racism. Depravity is extremely profitable.

(just a small note on many comments I’m seeing about cecot: stop saying things like “innocent people” are being tortured vs. “criminals”, as though people aren’t arbitrarily labeled as criminals or one demographic is more or less deserving. no one should be tortured. abolish all prisons.)

Allistics sublimate their Conformity Syndrome into "fixing" Autistics. But actually they need to fix themselves. #autism

I understand that the counter to our doomed capitalist existence is going out and meeting people to form communities, but I FUCKING HATE DOING THAT!

People should embrace an abundance, post-scarcity mindset. We are on the cusp of having the tech to make it possible. So much sociopolitical strife comes from competition over limited resources. We short-circuit this by making enough that everyone can live well.

China ratified the Global Ocean Treaty!!! The landmark agreement will go into effect January 17, 2026. www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/pre...

California Academy scientists identify 20 new species in Guam’s deep reefs. Retrieving devices from twilight zone, they find unique life, including a clam-dwelling hermit crab. This shows a rich, unmapped biodiversity persisting in ocean’s dark depths and an urgent need to protect fragile habitats.

As we head into the holidays in 2025 America, it’s clear that our entire society is completely divided by whether you understand science, or whether you want to base your entire life on fictional beliefs. The fairy tale people are winning, simply because they can be used by those who seek power.

President Biden fought for student loan borrowers and made it possible to have their debt forgiven. Meanwhile the MAGA regime says they will start garnishing paychecks from borrowers who are in default aka raiding people’s bank accounts. They are not the same.

I turned off haptics and it's so peaceful to like things now 😌

There are many places along Newfoundland’s East Coast Trail where, in winter, strong onshore winds blow seaward streams and brooks backwards, turning the surrounding area into a beautiful, frozen sculpture.
