Today is Nakba Day, when we commemorate the roughly 750,000 Palestinians who were forcibly displaced by Zionist militias during the 1948 Palestine War. Acknowledging the Nakba and making restitution is the precursor to building a better future for everyone living in the region.

Gardeners of Bluesky! A question: I have a patch of black raspberries that are doing great in most respects save one: they barely set fruit. They flower prolifically, but rarely get beyond that. I assume this is a pollination issue, but none of my other fruiting plants have this problem! Help?

Terms like Antisemitic or Anti-hindu are incredibly important for protecting minority groups who are being persecuted by the majority in their areas. Using these terms to silence criticism when you are the majority persecuting a different minority really hurts the communities that need protection
