Zombiversary 19. Still undead, still here. Today's one of the bad ones, so.... 💨🏕️

@ominousrabbit.com Just a random thought, figured you might be one to share it with.... ...How much of a good idea/bad idea would it be to have wire cutters to snip zip-tie cuffs in the confusion?

Thinking about why I want to be a blacksmith and welder when, of all things, Johnny Cash's "One Piece At A Time" comes on. Shuffle-play, how very dare you! That's just...fitting. 😆 (If I want it accessible, gotta make it myself.) 🦾

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall.

Finally went to get my hands examined after feeling something shift in a knuckle joint. Good news, bad news? I didn't break anything! I just likely sprained...a lot. But! I didn't wreck my plans...I mean, hands. Potato, tomato, it's all nightshade. 😊 (...And pottery making. ...And forging.) 😅

Cover crop seeds sprouted at last. Roots in ground. Fingers crossed.

Excuse me, US gov? I didn't order the dysTOPia. I ordered a TOPiary. I know you have this obsession with wanting to be on TOP & only hearing what you want to, but you need to LISTEN. I SAID, "Bring us a shrubbery." NEEP.

Timeline cleanser 🐈

Rain at last. Grow already. Coax the fauns away from the construction. OUTGROW THE CRAP ALREADY THERE!! 😡🥺😡 ...Please?

Let's just say if anything happens to keep me from my little patch of wilderness-in-rehab, I will become completely untethered.

So...birthright citizenship. If that constitutional right gets yanked by SCOTUS... & the EO on "left terrorism" stands...with the talk of civil war & "national divorce" from tin foil MTG, etc.... What prevents them from yanking the citizenship of anyone not a registered republican? No, seriously.

How did your day go? Oh— by the way— fascism sucks.

Fucking tylenol...and vaccine access. So...we're at the government experimentation on disabled people stage of fascism. ...Fuck.

Looks like tilling the soil just the once is going to be necessary to get this thing started. Years of the utility company mowing with a skid-steer that weighs 6 tons on tank treads has compacted the soil so much none of my cover crop seed roots can break ground.

Changed my world when I found out apple podcasts has transcripts where song lyrics are in music. Same when people remember to turn on closed captions before recording video clips.

Jerkface ate my turnips. (Oh, well.)

If RFK Jr is Pestilence & Hegseth is War, Trump is the whore of babylon.

Gah...I got stressed & the vigil slipped & I got vocally political. Again. Sorry, y'all. Shutting up now.

I'm surprised people are still surprised by all the damage being done to the structural points of the U.S. It all makes easy sense if you use the same PoV as Trump1.0: the point is to dismantle & sabotage. Nominees like RFK Jr & what's-her-f...ace Dept of Education head & EPA.

Oh my gods WHY has this never occurred to me before? 3 questions: 1: How long does a potato battery last? 2: Has anyone tested to see how many you can run in series or parallel? 3: Does it work with potatoes that are actively growing, planted in the soil?

I guess it's time to dig out my Iron Front patches again. That means it's gonna be time to find a new vendor source, too. (I'm not gentle on my things.)

If you haven't already, now is SUPER the time you to consider what supplies and community infrastructure you have to be able to distribute information offline. If the first amendment does not exist for the rich and/or the legacy media, it doesn't exist for us.

Coooookies! ...You mean you don't pour out a dram of chocolate chips for the fae as tribute? For shame! ...For me! 🥺😉

It's too sad here. Screw this, I'm baking cookies. Let's manifest some sparkle and kindness.

"Antifa" is not, never was, and never will be an organization. It's a cause. Declaring "antifa" to be terrorism is making the viewpoint of being against fascism illegal. That includes anyone and everyone who opposes this administration. Things are about to get very very bad.

If the state declares, "to support antifascism is to support enemies of the state," then the state has declared itself to be fascist. I'd say it's basic logic, but Logic is a philosophy course. That's "woke," therefore now illegal. Is the thermometer at 451 Fahrenheit yet?

I searched Colt's name in apple news+ and only found one story about this. From WNC, eastern edge of the Helene zone: massive respect to the FEMA people. Y'all didn't and don't deserve the lies, bullshit, hostility...and SHORT damned memories. Words ain't enough.

Taking a moment and Someone decided maybe I'm not a threat after all. 🦌 No, I don't encourage interacting. "Friend-shaped don't mean friend-ly."

Absolutely NOT. When they show you who they are, you don't help them put the damn mask back on. Editor of the Bulwark, huh? Good to know which news outlets to quit taking seriously.

Tiny acts of random kindness are easier with a little prep. Sunday is one of my "down" days, so time to top off tires, check the charge on the portables, restock the first aid kit, etc. #WePullTogether #altCitizen #FightTheHate #WordsAndDeeds

So help me, if this turns into a national-level "trans panic" defense.... Thanks a lot, Axios. 🤬

Something's up with the hummingbirds this morning. There's 3-4 times as many and they're getting aggressively territorial. Not sure if it's the heat wave (climate change), if it's something to do with food availability, if it's migration related, or "D...of all of the above."

1: Never ignore animals. They pay attention to what's actually there. 2: That noise you heard or thing you only glimpsed? When you find the source...always verify it wasn't cover for something else. If nope-ing out isn't an option, ALWAYS identify the source.

If an old native tells you don't go somewhere Don't go there

Broadcast seed on the final 2 rows for peas & oilseed radishes as an overwintering cover crop. Peas for nitrogen, radishes to help with the compaction. As soon as my wrists quit hurting so much, it'll be time to spread the next few bales of straw mulch. ...Yeah, I heard the news. #DustOnMyBoots

While getting the next straw bale: "Oh! That's why I couldn't figure you out! I had your alignment wrong." (It was 90^ from how I thought it sat.) ...Then I said it back to myself & heard "alignment" with D&D ears. Well, that's a nat 20 to hit. Ouch. 3 years of therapy in 5 seconds. 💀

They pretty much ALL take medicaid, give or take a few independent practices.

How did I miss the passing of both Shane McGowan AND Sinéad O'Connor? 🥺😢🇨🇮

A friend of mine got their doctor to switch "gender dysphoria" on their medical records to "hormone deficiency, unspecified" - and some people thought that they were being paranoid. But with the ongoing march of fascism, it may help to raise fewer flags for insurance, pharmacies, and now the gov.

1 stupid trip & fall. 7 fingers, 2 wrists, and tendons in 1 forearm sprained. Autumn pre-frost agriculture preparations entering the 6 week push before first frost and both hands are in wrist splints adapted from skateboard pads. Ooookay...time to get creative at gardening.

My thoughts on AI in elevator form: If I punch 2+2 into a calculator & it says 5, I recycle it. If I punch in 2+2 & it asks how I feel about that...I dismantle it & scrap the parts.

I both hate & love how my brain works. - I just noticed how to get shunned by every pokemon fan at once. - "Whelp, there's no un-thinking THAT." - Wait a minute. I have a TBI that made my memory 2 seconds long. I just need a distraction to forget about...something.... - Oh well. 😆🤦😆

"What on earth is a 'fen cable'? Ohh...I meant 'fenceable.'" ...Which, apparently, isn't a word (even though containable is). C'mon, @merriam-webster.com ...what do you think? Fenceable: an area that is suitable for or designated for containment using a fence. (Example next post. Apologies.)

Tell ya what, random stranger who isn't a welder, metal worker, or wheelchair user: I'll make what I want in my shop that I know how to make...and you quit telling strangers what they should do. Okay? Okay.

The feed will swallow this whole (maybe that's why it's THE FEED?) But I wants it (precious) An' I needs it (my precious...gollum) An' it's that time of the month So I'm putting this where I can find it. 🏴‍☠️

It's a little cruel that there is an 's' in 'lisp.'

Hungry People Don't Vote 🤔 #ResistanceGardens #WNC

I swear...if I can't get an updated covid vaccine because of rfk, I'm gonna be looking at a possible road trip or...something.

This is the first time I've seen this with altText. Sharing for that reason.
