I don't know how to stand, or sit, or talk, ...I keep asking myself "we were born for a time like this?"...and trying to get back to trusting "we were born for a time like this."....right now I'm uncomfortably in the space between...but I do stand with Ukraine.

Farm Photography Project is underway. Sharing because sunsets at farms are so darn beautiful. That is all.

OK sports fans, so this is my last bulletin for my position at @losangelestimes.bsky.social. I resigned yesterday in protest of the paper's and owner's cozying up to Trump. Here's my explanation on my substack, where I hope you will follow me going forward.

November 29, 2024, Airglow to the bottom right. (Not aurora).

From Earth Sky . org.

"Airglow is the light of excited atoms high in Earth’s atmosphere. It’s usually too faint for the eye alone to see. But under very dark skies, photographers can capture it.

What flowers (native and not) are growing in your food forest?

We focus on native flowers and I also love dahlias, zinnias, cosmos, and huge sunflowers.

Share your photos and inspire!

Our fullest expression is creating from the inside-out.

I think that's the design.

Your ideas matter.

Your art matters.

Your contribution matters.

Does anyone else live with the best dog in the world? Please show me a photo!

This is ours - he's the love-muffin of the forest garden. He eats raspberries, blueberries, tomatoes right off the plants and guards his feathered-cats (the ducks) all day long.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

A collection of photos from the forest garden this fall. The ducks are our favourite little creatures who provide amazing fertilizer, and joy and take care of lots of things like potato beetles in an instant!

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Anyone planning their food forest, or garden for next spring yet?

An older blog post about moving to as many perennial food sources as we can over here.

I would love to hear any of your favourites or suggestions - especially for cold climates!

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
