Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Made the cranberry relish Sunday. So it’s really good right now. All that’s left for tomorrow is some Sichuan green beans but I think I don’t have any ya cai (pickled mustard greens) so might make the famous eggplant instead. We shall see. Now I’m gonna crash and read.

Made my house-famous fruit salad of pomegranates, pineapple, kumquats (from our yard), and juice from Myer lemons (also from our yard). That’s it. Mix well and let it sit in fridge getting better by the hour.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

These ppl found a baby goat trapped in a pit. They took him home & cared for him overnite.
The next day they tried to find the owner but had no luck. While looking - they found a group of goats with the same white fur.
Then this happened.

Did I get stuck by the high tide on a sandbar when I left my family on the holiday to go birding “for a few hours”? Sure
Will it go down as one of the best moments of my life? Also yes
There are thousands of birds here, letting me lay among them. Like, Piping Plovers and Black Skimmers! Phone vid:
