These might be some of the best pickles I’ve had in my life.

Usually this size is just for seed saving but I cubed it into fried rice and it was actually delicious?

Foraged some Virginia Bluebells! I find them to be a little bitter so I blanch them, then make a sweet batter to dip them in and pan fry.

Omar Akkad’s writing has absolutely twisted the sorrow out of me like a wet rag. I have wept and paced and felt such commiseration with an author that feels as disturbed, sick, sad, frustrated as I do. Please visit your library to pick up a copy!
Book page open that reads “external injustice, is. But Palestinians do respond overwhelmingly with love. Just as the Indigenous populations of an entire hemisphere, subjected to the largest genocide in human history, responded overwhelmingly with love. Just as the Black communities in much of the United States, a country that quite simply would not exist in its current form were it not for the theft of their labor, responded overwhelmingly with love. Just as every people everywhere deemed acceptable collateral in service of the empires interest responded overwhelmingly with love. Today I watched footage of a man kissing his son's foot as he buried the body so torn apart by the missiles that the foot was one of the only pieces the father could find in the rubble. Tell me this man doesn't know love, hasn't been made to know it in a way no human being should. Except it is a love that cannot be acknowledged by the empire, because it is a peoples love for one another. Anyone who has dragged a relative out from under the wreckage of a bombed building, who has held a friend bleeding to death in the Book opened with a page that reads “What is this work we do? What are we good for? The literary critic Northrop Frye once said all art is metaphor, and a metaphor is the grammatical definition of insanity. What art does is meet us at the site of our insanity, our derangement, the plainly irrational mechanics of what it means to be human. There comes from this, then, at least a working definition of a soul: one's capacity to sit with the mysteries of a thing that cannot in any rational way be understood— only felt, only moved through. And sometimes that thing is so grotesque-what we do to one another so grotesque-that sitting with it feels an affront to the notion of art as a conduit of beauty. Still, sit. Sit.” Book cover, orange with a bomb falling towards a small toddler holding a flower, holding their hand up towards the bomb in wonder. The book title reads “one day, everyone will have always been against this”

Just finished @ashleyshoo.bsky.social ‘s Against Technoableism - absolutely a fantastic read that I will be gifting to friends for the foreseeable disabled future 💜 check your libraries or @litonfirepia.bsky.social to order a copy!
Page that reads Disabled people know a lot about uncertainty—if it isn't cancer-land and scanlife, it's a surprise flare and varying symptoms of autoimmune conditions; it's finding out there's a car parked too close to your lift-equipped van; it's a disruption to a plan that sends you toward a meltdown; it's that everything is itchy and you have to leave; it's a hearing-aid battery dead; it's that the elevator is out and the event will proceed without you; it's that no one has planned how you'll be evacuated in an emergency (they didn't plan for you at all). When we ask for the ability to live with uncertainty, we are asking to learn "the fine art" of being disabled. To grapple with the uncertain future, we would be well served to listen to disabled experts. The experiences and authentic stories of disabled people give us a lot of insight into our technological futures.

Civilization, like intelligence, may serve well, serve adequately, or fail to serve its adaptive function. When civilization fails to serve, it must disintegrate unless it is acted upon by unifying internal or external forces.
Plan in background for a living space text below “Civilization is to groups what intelligence is to individuals. It is a means of combining the intelligence of many to achieve ongoing group adaptation. Civilization, like intelligence, may serve well, serve adequately, or fail to serve its adaptive function. When civilization fails to serve, it must disintegrate unless it is acted upon by unifying internal or external forces.”

Arrest 13 make it more difficult for them to sort out the mistake. And it isn't just that you don't put up any resistance; you even walk down the stairs on tiptoe, as you are ordered to do, so your neighbors won't hear." what exact point, then, should one resist? When one's belt is taken away when one is ordered to face into a cornér? When one crosses, the threshold of one's home? An arrest consists of a series of incidental irrelevancies, of a multitude of things that do not matter, and there seems no point in arguing about any one of them individually especially at a time when the thoughts of the person arrested are wrapped tightly about the big question: "What for?"-and yet all these incidental irrelevancies taken together implacably constitute the arrest. Almost anything can occupy the thoughts of a person who has just been arrested! This alone would fill volumes. There can be feelings which we never suspected. When nineteen-year-old

My local grocery store has a squeaky pig called Officer Chops that you squeeze to call your cashier to the front.
Finally, a good use for bacon.

Last TikTok was the last lullaby from Prince of Egypt. Appropriate.
