This is just what collapse looks like. Let's try to build something better this time.

I'm all about anti-consumption and waste reduction.
Has anyone in the #Kansascity area seen #potted #christmastrees for sale in the area? Looking for a small tree that I can decorate for the holiday and plant outside in the spring. Small, local biz preferred. TIA

Call me crazy, but I think the Federal min wage should be high enough so someone working 20 hours a week shouldn't qualify for SNAP. That would be about $20/ hr for a single person. Anything less is literally just corporate welfare.

Shake it off and keep moving. We have a lot of work to do.

Missouri's own attention whore Senator Eric Schmidt is trying to convince the Feds to sic agents on #KansasCity because of crime. Let me remind everyone that Republicans in Jefferson City control our police department and that's why it sucks.

My mystery gourd produced a ton of ornamental gourds. One plant. I didn't plant it. A seed must have been leftover from when I had chickens and people would bring them their leftover pumpkins and gourds after Halloween. #surprise #halloween

If you're in the #kansascity area, don't forget the barter market this weekend.
If anyone in the #kansascity area is interested in attending a barter market, there's one coming up October 5. Come swap and meet the sharers. Lots of artsy and interesting people come.

I traded two houseplants for two big jugs of Tide. Seriously, find your local swap groups.

I just found out the Mid-Continent Public Library in Independence, Missouri has a #magazine exchange and a #puzzle exchange. I'm not sure if the other branches do, but what a great idea! I wish I had known about the puzzle exchange when my mom was still alive.

In America, only money matters. So spend your money wisely. Boycott any business bending the knee to fascism and authoritarianism. Save your money and spend it as locally as you can and only what you must.

During these perilous times, I want everyone to remember that even the majestic and sure-footed elk can eat shit if not paying attention to the path before him.

I keep thinking about this quote:

"America was waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that one-third of our people will kill one-third of our people while one-third of our people watches."

I do most of the shopping for my elderly father and aunt. I think the tariffs are going to really make people compare prices again. There's no brand loyalty when the budget brand coffee is now $6 more than the mid-tier brand on sale and double last year. Compare those prices!

Attempting to transplant a #pawpaw sapling from my woods to my dad's yard. All positive thoughts appreciated.

Found a ton of unused stamps in my dad's house. According to the letter with them my great-aunt wrote to my dad, she was a cashier during WW2 and people would pay for whole orders using stamps.

The renovations on my dad's park are finally done and we are OPEN! If you're coming to the #kansascity #missouri area and want to stay in a small, peaceful park near the city, but in a small quiet town, we're it.

The orchard is in, but I'm still working on the gardens.

Fyi: It's ringless honey mushroom season in Missouri. #foraging #missouri is a #foodforest

Mystery gourd that grew in my yard. I let it go to see what it would become. Still no clue. #squash

So many butterflies this time of year.

The monarchs are here.

Do people realize how many countries/ companies are restricting shipping to the USA due to the tariffs chaos?

Do people realize how many critical supplies are shipped directly like this?

Shortages, anyone?

A Trump administration tariff deadline is creating "chaos" for postal networks and retailers globally, as low-value parcels will be slugged with import duties from next week.

Covid finally caught me last week so I wasn't harvesting the produce. This Zucchini got away from me.

Big news! #Pawpaw season has started in #Missouri!!

I'm just going to throw this out there for no particular reason, but if you want to learn how to safely handle and shoot a gun, there are free classes through the #Missouri Department of Conservative.

We're officially to the "please take some produce because I'm drowning in tomatoes" portion of the summer.
