Hey, I'm trying to do a thing here. Introducing the Black Gardeners and Farmers starter pack. I *know* there are more of us. Let me know so I can add you!

Includes people who are looking to connect over gardening 🀝🏾🌱

I've been reminded that because of the cooking temperatures, the oven lights are still incandescents ✨️

I’ve rediscovered the joy of cinnamon toast. A nice whole grain bread. Some kerrygold. And a smattering of sugar and cinnamon.

Live the dream with me.
Oh the memories this unlocked! I'd forgotten the oven light trick.

Wondering if newer ovens have lights this works with tho

If you have the means, space, and time for it, starting a garden to supplement (not replace) your groceries will always be a good thing.
Today I bent my ear to probably-Mexican Spanish spoken with a Cantonese accent.

I will forever love California 🀎
‼️ That is a choice they're making

Spotify runs ICE recruitment ads but you don’t have to pay for them.
I did this yesterday. They even ask you to state why you are leaving. Cool thing is I'm going to save about a dollar a month.
What are you planting, raising, harvesting, in your winter gardens? 🌱

We have eggs and peas, tomatoes and I need to figure out what else in SoCal.

Peas, eggs, foraged mushrooms, acorns, apples, figs in NorCal. Going to find out what we can overwinter with snow and fog. Small greenhouse clean-up 🀞🏾

"The survey shows that security ops center (SOC) teams continue to struggle with securing cloud environments, identities, and AI technologies amid evolving threats, which is amplifying the risk and business impact of cyberattacks."

A risk in every industry.

Then we get to talk about (and act on) what to do about it too.
They really really do. It's such a relief for all of us to talk about it without pretending or gaslighted.
Game recognize game. Especially during these times.

It's genuine. I'm so happy for them and you.
These people are unserious.

Too many to add to my arguing with Black Women list atp. I've just started reporting and blocking them because these questions/statements/arguments are straight-up misogynoir.

My granddaddy was a WW2 veteran who took fire! He lost 80% of his hearing in 1 ear and 85% in the other. You know what he never once said, β€œsometimes people have a Nazi phase”

Not once! Idk what’s going on in everybody else’s house, but I grew up in a no Nazis ever household
There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second:

Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

yeah we can just report him for his ws beliefs, transphobia, and ableism wherever the labelers at because what in the world
Remembering the horrible winter 2017-18 flu that had my 4yo and I sleeping on the floor in front of the wood stove because we were too sick to make it bed. Gonna go get my flu shot now I'm back in California πŸ₯²

So, fun fact: You shouldn't try to make jello shots by dissolving vitamin gummies in alcohol. Turns out that a bunch of the common vitamins, if carried along via alcohol, can be incredibly damaging to your liver. You didn't know that? Neither did someone else I know. Ask me how they know now. πŸ’€

A student brought me these eggs. Beauty.

What's the over-under on white people developing double consciousness before the end of the year?
Grateful the hens are cranking up egg production now. Two of our 10 are surprise roos who we will slaughter and share soon πŸ™πŸΎπŸ“ΏπŸŒ±

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
