Food bank volunteer building survival gardens while counting birds.

We're not buying gifts for each other this year. Instead we will buy food for those in need. That feels better anyway.
Not all of us are going to make it through this unscathed. We need to think about how we want to be remembered when it's over, and act like the heroes we so desperately need.

Nice to meet you LadyLanie.
We have insidiously eliminated third spaces. There is nowhere to hang out if you can't buy a coffee/snack. Not many people can afford to go to the movies or dinner out anymore. What kind of tower are the people who write these articles living in?
Gen Z, and low budget people, are asked to reject ALL the pleasures of a consumer society while also being bombarded by commercial messages telling them buying stuff will make them happy.

No conflict there. Nope. None at all.

Here’s an idea and you want to help people in you area, turn your itty bitty book library 📚 into a tiny food pantry.

Again, please repost.
Our food bank was short volunteers last week. Yours may need your help too. We had 100 new families sign up for help. Action is the antidote for anxiety. Come out to help, you'll feel better.

trump is a pedophile nazi. maga is a fascist death cult. ICE is the new Gastapo. Miller is the new Joseph Goebbels, and RFK Jr is the new Dr Mengele. You now live in Nazi America. The question is what are YOU going to do about it

If you want to help us with legal expenses as we stand up to Trump, you can chip in at katforillinois.com/legal!
If you weren't before, you certainly on the national political stage now, Kat.
Is there a GoFundMe account started for you yet? A lot of us will contribute as much as we can.

#PlantMoreNatives! Here's a positive story from Sue Dingwell on installing native plants for her HOA entrance in Colorado and some lessons on how to accomplish something similar in your community. beautifulnativeplants.blogspot.com/2025/10/hoa-...

The biodiversity crisis is actually scary, but, collectively, we can fix this. You can regenerate biodiversity simply by shrinking your lawn & planting native. Have a great Halloween weekend!

Does anyone else keep saying, while stuck waiting in a medical office where you're subjected to non-stop MSM, "Stop calling IT a president! It's not acting like a president. Stop normalizing this shit."

Sigh.

We are less than two weeks away from a health care crisis in this country, with premiums set to skyrocket, and Republicans refuse to work towards a solution.

That’s why I voted NO for the 12th time against their partisan budget bill.

Republicans must negotiate now.

I better see NATIONAL COVERAGE of the no kings protests. If (when) the agitators and cops turn violent I hope you grow a spine and report it accurately.

I was a vegan for 30yrs. No kidding. If I really enjoy never sleeping due to nerve pain, I can go back to 100% vegan. Nutritional yeast helps, but not much.
Some neurological symptoms can be exacerbated by meat alternatives. An Impossible Burger makes my MS symptoms worse. Different preservatives and too much sugar do as well. Accurate labelling helps me stay healthy.

#PlantMoreNatives and think like a pollinator to bee ready for butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, & other pollinators. Fall is a great time to install good habitat in your yard & in your community. For more specifics, read my habitat article: greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/2022/10/habi...

Portland, Oregon. The request by Occupy Democrats was to share this video far and wide. So l'm doing that. This escalation is illegal. We must exercise our right to peacefully protest the illegal actions of the govt. I look forward to the day of justice for all of these fuckers.
