My friends, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is pure eloquence: “To not protest in this moment would be a dereliction of duty.” Perfection. Nothing to add.👇

Merry Christmas to all. With a few notable exceptions.

For the erosion & sediment control geeks. Merry Christmas. May your bales bring magic. For non E&S geeks, what's the issue here?

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

Jalapeño seed saving. Eyes watering, sneezing, fingers tingling...don't touch eyes, don't touch anything sensitive!

The Epstein files being 90% blacked out tells me that Trump isn't just mentioned in them. He's the main fucking character. And of course, nobody is surprised.

I thought the "rule of law" dunk was pretty hilarious.

Yup, market day.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Good week with the OFB in France. Erosion and sed control workshop.

Any Senators here? I’m a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise. RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably. He’s lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably. He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably. 1/

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Great looking piments d'Espelette. Mildly hot but not too screaming hot. First batch to come in for the season. Want seeds? #metchosinfarm

Interesting variations in seed colours, size, kernels...from the OSU (Oregon) naked barley project. From black to violet, with short and long awns and varying seedhead shapes. #farming #seeds

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Fish are historically anti fascist.

For kernels scraped off the barn floor, this is a pretty good germ rate. Corn collected in the Pays Basque, France, and is an heirloom variety called arto gorria.

“Donald Trump has manufactured a crisis and is inflaming conditions.” - @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Trump Playbook 1. Intentionally create a crisis 2. Blame Dems, Biden & Obama 3. Abuses his power to claim VICTORY This *strategy* wastes tax-payers money & inflicts emotional terrorism on us all.

Red ripper cowpeas, christmas limas, scarlet runners, italian pole, aztec bush, promiscuous peas....all in. Finally. Juggling with isolation distances and space. These rippers were planted into a cover crop permanent no till bed. #metchosinfarm #seedsaving

First shoots of red Basque corn coming up. Brought from the Basque country last year after meeting a farmer who gave me a few handfuls of kernels of his arto gorria.
