I'm planting a #foodforest in the 🇨🇦 #pnw. I cook and eat locally grown and foraged food.
I am interested in places where food, #history, culture, and #gardening intersect.

Exploding the Business Case for an Alberta to BC pipeline
No need for a huge political fight between Premiers @Dave_Eby and @ABDanielleSmith.
Just don't build the pipeline. Do something smarter, like make carbon fibre with bitumen.

Look, women no longer do shit for free is actually at the root of a lot of social disruption. The question is whether you think the solution is women going back to being unpaid and unprotected by their own labor.

My grand unified theory of suburbia is that camera doorbells are like SUVs, they provide an illusion of security while making you more paranoid

It's not social media or supposed attacks on masculinity that are causing the (largely made up) " male loneliness epidemic."
It's that some men choose to be people who nobody in their right mind would want to be around.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?
