Reminder that the Lorax took the same approach of speaking out and bearing witness that Democrats are taking and it didn't work out so well. Resistance must be active or it's meaningless.

Howard Zinn, with some words many of us need to read today.

The painting is Behind the Myth of Benevolence by Titus Kaphar

US schools have long taught that Thomas Jefferson was a hero, a visionary, and a champion of human liberty. And they did that while erasing Sally Hemmings, whom he enslaved, raped, and impregnated.

Found a friend while weeding to remove non-native plants at the edge of my woods. Not a worm, look close to spot the legs! #amphibians

Happy chosen birthday to one of my heroes, Frederick Douglass. I first read his autobiography when I was 12 and was inspired by his intellect, his humor, his courage, his integrity, and his determination.

If ever I find myself doubting that a person can change the world, I return to his story.

@aclu.org shared this on another platform. The text is clear and unambiguous. It has also been violated before - the Chinese Exclusion Act forcibly and illegally deported many Californians of Chinese descent, stripping them of homes and citizenship.

This afternoon, I did test bakes of two new recipes to include in sampler boxes for potential investors - acorn ricotta cheesecake with a huckleberry swirl + acorn pine nut cinnamon cookies. Recipes and more coming to eatacorn.com soon!

Had some left over acorn mash from another dish, so I turned it into pancakes! They came out really really good. Posted the recipe here: eatacorn.com/recipes/acor...

Here's the first iteration from 2 years ago. One of the things I found in my research is that one of the big threats to wildlife from backyard ponds is temperature variations and a bigger pond is far more stable in temp, which makes better habitat. So I started at roughly 10x12 and then expanded.

The tree #frogs that live in the woods near my house are listed as "threatened," largely because the vast majority of California's vernal ponds where they spawn have been filled in. So two years ago I started digging a pond for them. The rain has filled it to full this week.

Very very little of the plastic produced has ever been recycled. Instead it breaks down into tiny particles that have now been found in everything from rainwater to breastmilk. We are poisoning our world for the profits of a few corporations.

I've been doing equipment tests as we get ready for the launch of our factory and using the processed acorns to cook test recipes for eatacorn.com. This batch was a variation on the Spaetzle recipe - slightly increasing the size made delicious dumplings. eatacorn.com/recipes/acor...

This one makes me smile.

Lots of people know Manzanita's are beautiful and support pollinators. Most don't know that the berries are edible! Breaking the dry berries up and removing the seeds produces a sweet meal that is halfway between flour and sugar and makes a wonderful natural sweetener. #Nativeplants #NativeFoods

Processing acorn by hand is slow and a TON of work, but satisfying. I did some machinery tests in late December for cracking and cleaning the nuts and then did the rest of the process by hand. This is California's most perfect native food.
