Until I became a gardener, I didn't realise that seed companies divide the year very precisely into early, mid, and late, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. So today is the last day of late winter, and tomorrow is the first day of early spring 🌼🌼🌼🌼. A cause for celebration 🎉 🌱

You likely pass all kinds of plants and herbs in your day to day. But do you know who they are? Where they come from? Maggie Herskovitz joins Joe and Elly to talk about her new book's story, cover design, and how she got into plant identification.

Stay strong my friends. Rest. Recharge. Dig deep. We need each other and the country needs us.

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.

Today was the first day I noticed the days getting longer. It was nice.

Do I feel that more than one day is needed? Yes. Do I also feel that one day with enough people can #disrupt? Yes.

Forever grateful for #flowercode. My #throattattoo has made me recognizable as a safe person for my fellow and lovely queers as of late 🖤🌈 pic of after I got it done, last year I think? Perhaps the year before that. Time goes by so fast.

Gentle reminder not to use "bootlicker" as an insult because it unfairly includes people who like to lick boots purely for pervert reasons ❤️

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized (Gift Article)

A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

fyi MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico - not because of politics but because we haven't updated our maps in like 15 years and don't remember how to do it

Welcome to my page, we talk #nativeplants, #queerstories, #doggos, #queersmut, and many more. Who knows what I’ll post? It’ll be a ride we can take together!

🏳️‍⚧️Jaz🌈 @jazqueer.bsky.social · Jan 28

Shout out to @microcosm.bsky.social for offering such fun and hot #queersmut to read whilst trying to go to bed! 🥵
In times like these, it’s wonderful to be able to shop local(ish) with a small publisher! I love supporting these folks. 🖤🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I do think it’s super important right now and in the foreseeable future to really value moments of joy and to be intentional about making as many of them as you can

In moving things from Meta to here~ my #garden this year was filled with #moss that I propagated and replanted. A fun but long project.
