A great squash harvest! I'm currently prepping for tomato, ginger and chilli jam.

Drink the wine, make all the love, spray yourself with the good perfume every day. Stuff the larder, gather your tribe, build your community, learn to save seeds, create growing spaces, teach yourself how to preserve, be dead on, buy solar panels and don't worry about the small stuff.

What's really odd is that people think admitting they've been wrong, or fooled makes them look weak or stupid when the opposite is true.
"I know better now" shows integrity and strength.
It's called evolution.
Look it up.

“If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken."

— Carl Sagan

Remember the U.S. and UK conducted air strikes on Houthi targets and launched naval missions like Operation Prosperity Guardian to protect shipping because corporations were losing money? Aid workers being attacked and abducted is OK, though.

Brenda Gough @brendagough.bsky.social · 4d

Might we, indeed? So give us a bit of detail on how that's the case.......

So @zackpolanski.bsky.social decided he wasn't going to hide or deny his heritage, proudly restored his family surname, and paid homage to a Jewish child character in English literature.
