I’ve been loving this basil above all others. I got the seeds from Eden Brothers, and it’s ‘Genovese Everleaf’ and every day or two I cut off a big handful leaves and there’s always a million more. Chonky lady.

An intertidal #seaweed meadow, glowing in the morning sun. These are in the genus *Halosaccion* - “salt sacs” - & the seaweeds’ bodies (“thalli”) are hollow sacs that fill w/ water when the tide is high then slowly leak the water at low tide to reduce stress via evaporative cooling. #MarineLife 🦑🌿

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

My feed is full of cats and nature with a smattering of US pol, and a tiny bit of herbal medicine. Did we all make the jump and then not post?

this is a really good idea. It focuses the mind on what to have prepared, it makes sure the things are all in stock, and a feature of respiratory viral infections is that it can be hard to think/remember what to do once in the thick of it.

I'm imagining a box organised energetically 😁
My ready to go box of vitamins, herbs, dried tea mixes, and tinctures in preparation for influenza, COVID, RSV, and anything else. #herbs #fluprep #immune #health

Wait. Doesn't everyone do this?

In times like these, it is always good to remember that the plants have enough spirit to transform our limited vision.

Take time daily to connect with the plants. Make herbal tea, go for a walk in the woods, sleep with a dream pillow stuffed with herbs. Listen to what the plants have to share.

Thanks for your patience as we navigated some technical difficulties today! Moving forward, the performance issues you may have noticed should hopefully be resolved.

TL;DR we're so back

Did you develop Long Covid after dropping precautions bc you believed the Great Barrington Declaration that young people will be fine if they get Covid-19? Please be in touch at jmetraux@motherjones.com for a potential @motherjones.com article and reposts are appreciated.
