Congratulations to all the Democrats who won their elections last night. It seems times are changing.

I hesitate to even post this on the kind of platform fueling the crisis we're in.

It's almost certainly futile, as the algorithms don't want anyone to hear this kind of sentiment - which is a big part of the problem.

never is right
24 years ago this morning, I was in a crowd fleeing the U.S. Capitol under police orders. In the chaos, I found a familiar face - my previous boss, Bernie Sanders. We found our way to a little Greek restaurant where we saw the disaster unfold on TV & knew things wouldn't ever be the same.

so interesting
So I picked one of the iris seed pods last night and sliced into it. I was surprised to see remnants (?) of the purple flower inside! I wasn’t sure if that gets further absorbed as the pod develops? Didn’t just get lucky to see that bit? Fun stuff! #irisseedpod #remnantflower 🌱

A full moon, dubbed the strawberry moon, lit up the night sky this week, creating countless photo opportunities of the stunning night sky.

A beautiful view of the 'strawberry moon' last night, June 10-11. This was the lowest full moon to appear in the sky in nearly 20 years.

The scent is so lovely! Our native honeysuckle (Coral honeysuckle) looks like this!

I think the vibe with the white/yellow flowers is Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)

Rushed home to play in the dirt before the rain came. Planted eggplant, peppers, cantaloupe, geranium, Giant Cockscomb, and my new grape vine! Created a sunflower patch in front of my fence and put down seed. Potato plants dying means some potatoes are ready...roses showing off! Now a movie...🌱🍇🥔🌹
