Eli's Native Plants

Trying to stop the 6th global extinction event. Encouraging others to garden for wildlife and for themselves, to identify plants, and forage, and improve their connection to the wild world.
This bill allows them to separate children from their parents, strip search, and detain them in isolation. That is monstrous. I'm so disgusted that a majority of our representatives in the house wanted this to happen. Every one of them is a monster. Every one is the enemy of humanity.

Sold, to someone who is interested in ecology and wants to keep the field guides that I marked up with the species present. I hope that means that they will live in harmony with the many species who have made a home on that little patch of land.

Wow. I had to come back after reading and say thank you for sharing this. This is my bright shiny good news to keep in my back pocket for today. It makes me want to drive halfway across the country to get a tree I would be proud of.

This is wonderful. I'd rather see fire returned to the landscape. It does far more for species diversity than just removing the Eastern Redcedar does. But this turns your Christmas tree into an act of ecological restoration, instead of supporting pesticide-ridden monoculture tree farms.

I'd much rather directly donate to the progressive candidates that I want to see elected than donate to the corporatist DNC. They have betrayed the will of Democrat voters time and again. They haven't gotten a penny from me since they betrayed us to block Bernie Sanders. @represent.us: Ranked choice

Yeah, some came from me, in MA. Not a lot of money in Maine, and he's running against a corporatist with big money backing. But he's not making deals with corporations or AIPAC; he's talking progressive policy, and looking to the working class for support.

Well I was wrong about it being an oil PAC. I lost faith in him because I believed he was a grassroots funded progressive he claimed. Like Kat Abughazaleh or Graham Platner, or Mamdani, but he isn't. But maybe there's some nuance to the story.

Dem darling showered with Miriam Adelson-linked money
A group funded by Adelson was the biggest donor to James Talarico’s campaign last year.

Time for a class action lawsuit. He crippled government agencies that protect us, because he didn't like being regulated, and he should pay to fix that.

Id still rather have her run than have the "democrat" candidate be one funded mainly by an oil PAC (Talarico) or AIPAC ('ricio's other main opponent in the primaries... I forget his name).

Please check the funding sources of your candidates. It tells you what they are planning behind the scenes. Talarico's public speeches are great, but his biggest source of funding is an oil PAC. I've been rooting for Crockett to run, because otherwise we'd be choosing between big oil and AIPAC.
December 9, 2025 at 1:53 PM
We do know he gets most of his funding from an oil PAC. I think if you scratch his blue suit, you'll see red. I think he's a smarter, more charismatic Fetterman, who will betray us at every turn.
December 9, 2025 at 1:46 PM
Follow the money. Look at Talarico's campaign funding. He talks a good game, but good biggest source of funding is an oil PAC. So you should know he's saying something far different from his public speeches behind the scenes.
December 9, 2025 at 1:44 PM
But he gets most of his funding from oil PACs. Don't trust their words, follow the money. He would be a smarter, more charismatic version of Fetterman: a constant betrayer

Thank you for fighting for the restoration of your sheep-blighted ecosystems. I hope awareness continues to rise and put pressure on backward public policy.

I would say that we should put the whole trump administration in such boxes, but I think we should respect the laws against cruel and unusual punishment. Give the government license to violate that, and they'll do more of this. So for now, let's support legal actions against these abuses.

We found a buyer who will appreciate the gardens! They passed the test: asked to keep the Petersons field guide and foraging books marked up with the species present (included on request). I stalked LinkedIn profiles: interests include learning about ecology and naturalism. We signed the offer.

I love to see that label! It means I can harvest seeds and share them.

My favorite seed source is the Experimental Farm Network: composed of professional and hobbyist farmers and plant breeders, improving heirloom crops.

Thank you! This is a good example for me. I'll take a leaf from your book here, and put up some posts with more tags over the holiday. It would be truly wonderful if the property went to someone who was passionate about helping the local ecosystem.

Skippers are such cuties. We have a few varieties of grass skippers that have taken up residence since we planted a diversity of native grasses, sedges, and rushes. But I was just starting to work at identifying them this year.

Thank you for sharing the article! It's so neat that we can track the migration of an individual butterfly now.
