Working my church job this morning, rev Stefan begins with “Hello, welcome, and I’m sorry you couldn’t get brunch reservations”. Best opener I’ve heard in a long time haha

It really is this simple.

Father Nathan Monk posted on Facebook a message. This is a screenshot of the message, which says, "You are about to watch the whole world respect a chosen name. It's that easy."

On this day in 1886, Lucy Parsons, a Black anarchist born into slavery, marched with her children at the front of one of the largest labor marches in US history, as workers across the country demanded the eight hour day. Two days later, striking workers were shot.

So Canadians, are you literally watching the numbers live here on CBC despite knowing it'll be hours before anything is going to be known or are you sensible and making better life choices than me this evening?

Today’s tiny ray of hope: repotted a bunch of my seedlings. Some of those itty bitty tomatoes have 6-8” root systems. That feels hopeful.

Any tiny rays of hope for you lately?
In front of a window, under grow lights, hundreds of tiny plants are growing in little containers of various sizes.

In Gaza, World Central Kitchen @wck.org is among the last organizations still able to cook meals. The IDF has shut all crossings to shipments, including humanitarian relief. We are now nearing the end of our supplies—and the limits of what’s possible.

Made some super delicious individually hand rolled crackers with the rosemary from my windowsill and fancy smoked salt. This is the kind of special fussy shit I love doing.

“At the same time, agriculture and food production has been destroyed - last year, the UN found that 70% of farmland had been decimated and 90% of cattle killed, while a report by Forensic Architecture found that 83% of plant life has been destroyed”

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago, has something to say to us today:

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: what would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive..."
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If… if… We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more—we had no awareness of the real situation… We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Borscht, lasagna, butternut soup and sushi bowls are available for ordering! Pay what you can, even if that’s nothing. Good enough to get rave reviews from food nerds and fits EVERY budget, because everyone deserves to eat good food.
