Pittsburgh at the corner of Penn and Braddock knows what's up. Stand with Ukraine. How that's not obvious is beyond me.

Started a thing, pun intended. IDK what I'm doing, but I've been wanting a place to share longer form stuff besides meta apps. First post is part of an intro series, but a bit about Swissvale Edible Garden Tour and other events in there too.

Yes. Excellent resistance. Learn from those in France resisting Nazi occupation. Throw a wrench into every stupid apparatus.

Given the time frame, I feel like someone should investigate if there was a turkey cartel/mafia involvement. But regardless, I do kinda wish steamers full of live turkeys were still a thing in Pittsburgh. 😬

Also: apparently my blue sky content is gonna be old news. I'm ok with that.

Love this. I spend a lot of time looking at old newspapers and other historical documents. That old adage of knowing history so you don't repeat it is just fantasy. Some universal human traits are revealed by studying these documents. Including, apparently, blaming the new thing for everything.

The problem is, the people voted for the leopards to eat their kids’ faces. Kids who deserve better than a government actively trying sabotage their futures.

Hello, bluesky. I live in Swissvale, outside of Pittsburgh, so I started a Swissvale feed: bsky.app/profile/did:.... I'm a seed starter, weaver, educator, wanderer, and wonderer. Not sure how much I'll post, but follow for local stuff, gardening, making, & adventures with Hollen and Buddy the dog.
