Conioselinum pacificum (Pacific hemlock-parsley) is a carrot-family native to sow in a sunny spot while we still have a few months of winter ahead of us. It looks fairly similar to invasive Queen Anne's lace, and don't let the name fool ya; the roots are a traditional food in our region.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids.
If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I hear endlessly (including right now on the radio) that “the new consensus” is that Covid was “almost certainly” caused by a lab leak.
This might be a political “consensus”, led by the same White House that says tylenol caused autism. But it’s not the scientific one.

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

She is doing so by throwing up vague assertions in the complete absence of any credible evidence of a link between COVID19 vaccines and cancer.
