I've been learning daily what our federal government does, as civil servants at the highest levels are being cut and replaced with 47's sycophants. Not sure what to do, other than make posts in support of the resistance, to stop this insurrection from within.

Here, have some chunky eggnog we never got to. Chicken: yeah no. Here's some apples, bananas, and fresh basil. Birds: fuck yeah! Buff Orpington and turkey: uhh, got any of those mealwormy things?

Visited one of our libraries for the first time in a long time. Hoping I can do something this year to help our oppressed community, many of whom find solace in our library.

Staying frosty,staying vigilant. The tried and true media sources I depend upon are shifting. Even the Atlantic, beyond the NYT, seems to acquiesce to an incoming, intolerant regime. I need a new, progressive source.

Yaaaaas. That's how we're gonna get through, and help one another.

We got to join a Feast of Seven Fishes on Xmas eve. Made some limoncello for the first time. Salut!

Good tidings. It's okay to let folks have their rant. We can listen and read and reread, and then wait. Wait for the right words, or perhaps for the frustration to subside. There is time. And maybe many won't be persuaded by any amount of words. They'll have to experience it. Let them have that.

While they plan out the authoritarian regime, we'll be planning the revolution. Today, that means watering a buckeye tree planted yesterday, planting some garlic, working on a newsletter for our local permaculture guild, and attending a meeting to see other ways we might act as allies.

Let's go.

Hello Bluesky fam. Just getting started. I've been trying to comment on fb threads of friends who seem to have been duped by the far right propaganda machine. Hoping to find solidarity in how we build resilience in our community, spread truth, and stand in allyship with those being oppressed.
