Would love to connect with other #japaneseindigo #indigo #persicariatinctoria growers and dyers.

Plants germinated from seeds I collected, from the 100+ plants I grew last year, are in the ground.

Looking forward to the four day #indigofest on the Washington Coast in August.

I love this time of the season where there are so many possibilities.

No surprise here. At least for half of us in the country.

I have Iowa farm roots. And my family and I currently live on a 15 acre historic farm in Western WA.

It’s so difficult. I did not want this for the farming community. But this is the path that was chosen, whether it was fully known or not.

What’s up? A need for anyone willing and able, to call it what it is. And to call in the power of community.

While many of us are doing the good work in our communities, badass women like @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social are standing brave at a broader level, saying “NO” and making it as difficult as possible to f- with our election system. I have spent the last many days hoping these warriors were out there…
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

What are you unwilling to feel? This is one of the most brutal, most clarifying questions in life, answering which requires great courage and great vulnerability. Out of that unwillingness arises the greatest inner tension of the heart, its great labor: https://www.themarginalian.org/2024/11/14/emo…

This is a transition for me, from my long-standing IG account to Bluesky. Feeling my way into it.

I’ve long been a vocal advocate for social justice. I appreciate this space for that expression.

I’m also a lover of wilderness, a forager and professionally, a flower grower + floral designer.

Do not obey in advance.

I won’t stop talking about #foodsecurity. I won’t stop talking about how incredibly important it is RIGHT NOW to support local policies that support local agriculture. And how important it is to support local farms and farmers.

Find out about your county’s policies on local food security.
