Last night in a 'grandma's kitchen' moment at my in-laws, I mentioned I needed to buy straws for something, & she goes, "Oh, I have some," & brings me an open box of vintage straws from the mid 90s clearly bought when my daughter was little. 👀😂❤️

For my birthday my daughter got me this vintage witch charm (90s) encased in resin 🖤 which I will use as a pendant. What's really crazy though is, somewhere around here, I have a smaller version of the same charm I remember buying in the 90s! I'll post when I find it.

I bought an olive tree but didn't get a chance to plant it before it got chilly. So I brought it inside for the winter, & it's getting ready to flower!

Me gently tossing treats to really obvious places on the floor, so our black furred orange brained cat, can have hunting enrichment time, while I praise him for what a ✨brave & skilled hunter✨ he is! 🤷‍♀️😂

A couple gems I stole. I'm so tired of self serving politicians who deliberately misunderstand, misuse, & demonize the term democratic socialism, in order to manipulate public opinion for their own financial & political gain.

#fuckfascism #fuckdjt #resist #witchsky
A democratic socialist is not a Marxist socialist or a communist. A democratic socialist is one who seeks to restrain the self destructive excesses of capitalism and channel government's use of our tax money into creating opportunities for everyone. Democratic socialist believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. A democratic socialist does not want to destroy private corporations, but does want to bring them under greater democratic control. The government could use regulation and tax incentives to encourage companies to act in the public interest and outlaw destructive activities such as exporting jobs to low wage countries and polluting our environment. Most of all, socialists look to unions to make private business more accountable Pictured: a family sitting around the dinner table Caption: Kid: Mom, why are there no Republicans on Star Trek? Mom: Because it's the future, son.

Before you convince yourself you have a 'problem' with tea, behold my collection. Also, these are large hat boxes. When I say I need a 12 step program, I'm kinda not kidding. I stash teas in everything like an English squirrel. ☺️

Omg! It worked! Our ✨mushrooms✨ are fruiting! Last spring we inoculated birch logs with spore plugs, & look at these gorgeous turkey tails! They're small but plentiful & should fruit (& get bigger) for several seasons. 🤎

One of the things I love about the dark half of the year at our place, is the sunrises are often spectacular. ☀️✨
