Finished our mushroom log plug project yesterday! It took us a month because of my interpretation of Eph’s statement, “let’s start small, like 3 logs.”

Immigrants CREATE JOBS. They do not STEAL THEM. They start businesses, they hire people, and 66% of every dollar spent with them will stay in your community.
HERE IN CANADA, 32% of businesses are owned by immigrants. We have 800,000 self-employed immigrants, & 250,000 of them have employees.

Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

Have you heard about Riot Dogs? Strays will often join in on protests and riots, defending the protesters. One famous example of this is the revered Negro Matapacos, a Chilean riot dog.
Im adding a photo of Negro Matapacos to my altar for this winter/spring, to help me channel my fear into courage.

Brushing up on and learning new information and skills. Root cellars today. I’ve heard about ethylene gas and food, but my knowledge went about as far as its existence. If you’ve ever been curious, see pics. Source in comments.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Would anyone be interested in teaching or attending classes at my shop, Crystal Lounge? I am trying to figure out how to help right now, and skillshare classes on topics of canning, weaving, etc seem like they may be helpful. I hope we don’t NEED these skills, but they’d be good to have if we do.
