Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Just wrapped up working on this awesome machine! What a cool one! 😍 Lint buildup and tangled threads on the needle bar assembly are such a common problem leading to stitching issues. Glad I could get it cleaned up and back to work! #sewingmachine #apprenticeship #sewing #repair #apprenticelife

The absolute slimeball. Make this go viral! Douchecanoes have no place working in our senate. Since we are name calling now 🤣🤣🤣
This is a United States Senator

MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities

BANKS: You probably deserved it

MACK: Why did I deserve it?

BANKS: Because you look like a clown

Follow this page for my native plant nursery! I will have gardening tips and how to support pollinators and wildlife and more!
Just about warm enough to start spring garden cleanup! The recommendation is to wait until daytime temps are reliably in the 50s, so for zone 6b CT possibly this weekend, but definitely next weekend! I love this handout from @xercessociety.bsky.social about how to prune seasonally for bees!

Despite the crummy weather, cuttings are getting popped into soil for young bushes and trees! So far we have blueberries, elderberries, serviceberries, dogwood and willow going, and working on more this week!

Reminder to keep those leaves for a while longer! Dont do your garden and yard cleanup until the weather is reliably in the 50s for a week+. False spring always tries to convince us its time, then we get gross chilly weather back and the insects and wildlife still need those leaves & hollow stems!

When you get all inspired by a topic and request six books from the library to dig deeper, and the next week you find another interesting, different topic and request another handful of books, and then the following week you found another cool topic but you already have a dozen books to read.....
