The sea-kale gives zero damns about freezing temperatures, and even the poor light conditions aren't a concern. Grows very strong downward taproot, and a maze of thick root systems; I think this plant used to provide loch shore stability...until the Victorians uprooted it all.

If you still have a subscription to The Washington Post, today is a great day to cancel.
Note the framing here:
It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”

i can't hit the full $50, but i sent along what i could. anyone else wanna help out?
Now, tonight's local urgent needs.
First, little Niko's surgery is < 14 days away. Another $50, and his and his mama's crowdfund will hit the 50% mark. Surely we can do that now?
Even better, another $500 would get them to the 3/5 mark: spot.fund/k7g9nj4sc

women with ovaries have testosterone. women with PCOS have have higher T than those who don't. cis women w PCOS are overrepresented in sport.
if you actually researched, you'd know that trans women are required to have years of T supression therapy before they're allowed to compete in sports.
