We know what we mean but the patients & families read our notes and it sounds judgemental.

Greens in general; Territorial sometimes sells a winter lettuce blend. I'm not sure how low it can tolerate.
Beans don't like it too hot, runners especially & broad beans like it cold.

Would starting the seeds inside and moving them to a cold frame / pots covered with clear plastic (you can use produce bags for taller plants) be more doable? IDK how cold it is there.
Yes, brassicas should do well.
Root veggies, peas all like cold.

How far north are you going?

I garden in the Maritime Northwest, 8b (but zones don't do our cold springs justice)...if you want seed suggestions of what does well here, or what I've tried but it's a little too warm for, LMK.

Landlord took a full size washer and dryer and put the dryer on top of the washer. 😟
Had to move the fridge cause the floor was too uneven so theoretically could put the dryer on the floor...but IDK if it's like this cause it's the only way everything could reach/connect.

Simply voting out 47 won't make the problem go away.
These issues get debated almost every election we have around here, some Dems want sweeps & bans & cops, some want services. There's loopholes & restrictions that mean housing isn't built.
I wish it was that easy.

Jess 💛🤍💜🖤 @gardenjess.bsky.social · 7h

This has been going on for a long time.
"Revitalizing" neighborhoods.
The switch to "market rate" housing.
The way housing funds have been taken to pay for cops.
Shelters closed because not enough clients placed in permanent housing (that did not exist).
Sweeps.
Bans.
Closure of public restrooms.

We need "democracy" people who are problem solvers.

"Democracy" is about how every human has rights - but some of the "democracy" party isn't so sure about a couple groups.

- from the West where almost every election is about housing / sweeps / etc

Jess 💛🤍💜🖤 @gardenjess.bsky.social · 8h

The issue is that "democracy" doesn't pay the rent, put food on the table, pay the hospital bill..."democracy" only lets us vote for people who have plans to solve those issues.

Just cause you're pro-democracy doesn't mean that you can solve problems or even believe that they should be solved.

I understand this is not as emotionally satisfying as fighting and winning on democracy but it turns out a core part of democracy is that the voters get to pick what they care about. They can’t be lectured or educated into it

Always be wary when the oppressor likes the plan meant to contain their evil.

What I think has gotten lost in a lot of the commentary about this in many ppls rush to use it to dunk on Biden is that Netanyahu in particular seems really pleased with this deal which, uh, should tell us some things.

This is the fourth picture of Trump with a pedophile in the last week. It’s not a coincidence.

There are lots of pictures of me with runners: I’m a runner

I bought myself a chair (I thought).

The cat has decided that the chair is her new fave spot.

If I sit in it, she cries until I move so that she can have it.

If I walk towards the living room & she's in it, she hisses.

I'm not sure if she's going to share.

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.

RE: we used to not have to remember area codes...unless you lived in 253. Because 253 is actually two seperate areas and if you called from one to the other, it required the area code.
