On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Apple season in New England! My favorite is the Macoun, bred by New York researchers in the 1920s from MacIntosh and Jersey Black stock. Great in pies and greater eaten fresh, crispy and tart (but not too tart).
They don't keep super well, so there's many a pie in our near future.

Posted by Mary Doria Russell, one of my favorite authors, over on FB. I'm not as exhausted as she is, but she's been battling harder than I have. I guess it's up to the rest of us to step it up while she rests and recuperates.

Can't beat this for cheesiness. Check out the whole thread if you're a word nerd. Really.
A Lithuanian equivalent to “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” is nemokamas sūris tik pelėkautuose. It means “the only free cheese is in a mousetrap”

Amazon worked for years to artificially depress the prices of self-published ebooks as a loss leader to sell Kindles. Now that the Kindle market is fairly saturated, they're using their near-monopoly market power to force ebook prices up and lower writer royalties.
