most of my life I never thought I'd have my own house but I still always said if I did I'd be the old woman trimming the front verge with garden scissors.

and here I am.

my plan for next year is a Mari Contrari Garden. 😁

I live that! I have four double knockout bushes in red. I have two in yellow that are up against the bricks on either side of the big window on the front of the house - the colors are excellent together. it's the reds that are still blooming

"Roei Shalev survived the Nova festival. The love of his life died beneath his body as he sheltered her when Hamas opened fire on them both. He took bullets and survived. She did not. His mother committed suicide weeks after the massacre. He followed suit yesterday, on World Mental Health Day,"

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

WATCH — @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social : “Here’s a partial list of things Trump is choosing to no longer study — food insecurity, gun violence, toxic exposures etc… Just because you don't measure it doesn't mean the problem went away. Censoring science & data collection is scary in a democracy.”

The Salvation Army are not good people. There are good people involved, I'm sure, but they are pushing an agenda. They are supporting horrible things. They withold their "help" because of religious beliefs that don't even mirror the book they quote. #fuckthesalvationarmy

To the “doctors” in the GOP Senate: you could have prevented this deranged eugenicist from being confirmed, but you chose loyalty to Trump over your oaths. Perpetual shame.
