If it weren't for the yeast entertaining me through the dark months, happily building bread and brewing magic elixirs, I'd be fucking suicidal.

Volunteer zinnia.
The seed fell off a zinnia planted this past June, grew (but not too tall), and now flowered.

Just a reminder that lactorrhea is real, can be a sign of a pituitary gland cyst or tumor (often benign but still problematic), a side effect of certain drugs, and, of course, the result of breast feeding.
If you have lactorrhea and tunnel vision, get that pituitary checked out!

Honestly, that is probably true.
But we can make the silent armed men's jobs harder. We can show the inhumanity. We can provide courage to others to speak. We can bear witness and feel in our beings that this isn't just some abstract reality show.

"What need have I of all your sacrifices?" says the Lord...
Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is offensive to Me...
Learn to do good. Seek justice. Aid the oppressed. Uphold the rights of the orphan. Plead for the widow."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I may have used over a stick of butter in a couple dozen clams, over a tsp per clam
But they were good.
(They each had about a 1/2 tsp of garden fresh parsley, 1/4 tsp fresh rosemary, and almost a tsp of onions.)
