My new best friend, tree-ripened Granny Smith apples. Picked them at MIL's house last weekend.

They're sweet with charming hints of tartness and have small red spotting on the skin.

Let them be a winter apple, you won't regret! Flavor as complex as wine & criollo chocolate ✨️

I am transported 🙌🏾🌱

"The US remains the world’s largest single economy, but the G20 minus the US forms a combined economic bloc almost three times larger. In population terms, the difference is staggering: roughly 340 million Americans compared to nearly 5.8 billion others represented at the table."

Wikipedia: Free France says the capital was London but scroll down and it says in law and in reality it was Brazzaville.

The silence and obfuscation are how they suppress their reliance on Africa and Black people globally.

But the ancestors remember. They remind us.

It's critical to connect with a local mycological society that does forays (preferred) or local mushroomer who eats what they grow/hunt.

Since they're usually smaller (picked quickly), I dbl checked w/ husband who knows the yard 6 years longer than me.

Gummy mushrooms my youngest loves in ramen 🍜

Y'all reading and teaching reading is one of my favorite things!! I'm also a huge advocate of adults playing educational games for kids because our inner kid deserves these goodies too.

A game I've supplemented with and played myself:

Just got out of the Doechii SF concert, opened by Kal Banx.

Enjoying the concerts these younger generations are doing! Talking about therapy, taking care of the audience, big energy isn't dimmed by care as implied in earlier generations.

This paper (+ so many others) is all "Herbal medicine is spreading widely today because of its biomedical benefits" meanwhile not only does most of the world already depend on & most of big pharma derive their drugs from them, but also in 1835, this species was named for its treatment of dysentery:

- So that you could live another day.

- Only now realizing you could end this mess and live free.

3. They are loud and wrong.

4. Say:

- It makes sense that you believe that because you are steeped in oppression and only now seeing all this mess.

Can't believe another poem came through me. Me, 2025 ⤵️

When they’re being loud & wrong: an interaction guide

1. They are being loud and wrong.

2. If you have already provided correct information, skip to 4. Otherwise, provide correct information.
