Pygmy Flower Rock Jasmine
Androsace Septentrionalis

This delightful southern Alberta #nativeplant (among other regions) is about the size of a quarter. The flowers will grow on a long leafless stalk into a candelabra that would be perfect for anyone wanting an early bloomer in their fairy garden.

I’ve been looking for resources like this, I haven’t looked in to this one yet, but if folks have, or have other resources, feel free to post them and I can also use my channels to signal boost here, FB, etc.

Not much us normies can do except try to avoid buying America’s crap for now.

"You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You've got garlic in your soul
Mr. Grinch
I wouldn't touch you with a
Thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole"

I think I can understand why Mr.Grinch is cranky about Whoville folk.

Fun Fact

Shovelling snow for 30 minutes burns about 0.25kWh of energy (216 Calories).

I have already burned 0.5kWh, but expect to burn around 2kWh before the end of the day.

Be safe and stay warm today!

Now that Mark Hamill's here, more like BlukeSkywalker, am I right?

It's okay, I know I'm not right. I know.

Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island, The Call of the Wild, and Hatchet all seem pertinent.
on the bright side, maybe the collapse of the internet into competing social media platforms and a flood of AI slop will drive us all back to reading.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
