If you care about the climate 🌱pollinator survival, human life, democracy, ORGANIZE. while you still CAN - before posting gets you stripped of citizenship & sent to a prison camp. This is a dictatorship. Do not believe elections will be fair or free. Signup to volunteer @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Americans don’t seem to “get” that this is a dictatorship - which usually end after decades of fight and suffering, the dissolution of the middle class, and a worthless dollar. While you still can, organize. This is my 1st dictatorship too, i don’t want regrets like every other fascist country.

Climate-warmed S. California means Fall is a 2nd Summer. (*exception: El Niño years). December = Fall, so no rest for insects until January/February. 🦋 Plant late blooming: 60% August-January.
30% Spring-blooming natives.
10% leaf-littered soil.
Butterflies/insects need late season flower food. 🌱

Blame this guy… on a fire that insurance quoted a 1 out of a 0-10 risk. A fire without water to fight it…. A fire that (like the Wolsey fire before it), never would’ve burned what it did without La Niña rains followed by El Niño drought, then 80mph climate warming winds… but yeah, all ChatGPT guy.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

Screenshot depicting posts on X, one showing the suspect accused of starting the Palisades Fire, a white man. The X news tab reports on the suspect's arrest, but shows a photo of a black man instead.

Yeah, hang him before he’s tried on that chat GPT image, that makes everyone awesome. A fire that was a 1 in 0-10 insurance risk…that had no water to fight it…. A fire that would never have been possible without El Niño 80mph climate warming winds… but yeah…

No, we need a WEEK day GENERAL STRIKE and no more useless, and military-justifying marches.

There used to be a great app called Galora where you could swap harvests, seeds, buy plants and find gardeners in your direct community. I miss it!

All 7 Colorado apartments sold after devaluation and raids… the grift is strategic favors and real estate empire building. What will all of the soy farmlands be bought up for next year? AI warehouses?

Last botanical from the art gallery of NSW Sydney Australia: Murnong daisies being harvested by an Aboriginal woman allude to food histories that many have forgotten. 🌱

More Botanicals from the art gallery of NSW Sydney. # 2 is no doubt a spring cabbage harvest. 🌱

Golden apples and a single pear lit with might on an almost black table and background. The gold accented black frame reflects all colors within the painting.

A spring cabbage harvest pairing, a windswept scene shows trees in the background leaning, two women in the foreground in long skirts and aprons harvesting or working the field. Ocean and puffy cumulus nimbus in the background.

“Scent” depicted in a painting of five senses with a child offering flowers to the nose, and “taste,” with a baby suckling the breast of the same woman looking upward to the child with the flowers

Golden light and Martin shadow over farm rows with bright green row stripes between, snowy mountains in the background and both bare and full tees.

Timeline cleanse… botanicals from the art gallery of NSW Sydney Australia. Eucalyptus and more blooms 🌱

Multi colored orange, dark maroon, red, offsite and bright pink and coral tufts of eucalyptus blooms look like fringe around each seed pod, and bouquets of clustered like colors in a dark green bowl on a white wood or marble table

A large beveled glass vase packed with darker green and silver leaves of eucalyptus, giant eucalyptus blooms in tight clusters of pink with yellow centers as nectaries, pollen parts, a tower of leaves with dark green/silver two sides

A beautiful lithograph of ruffled-looking eucalyptus blooms that go from coral to yellow to dark orange in a vase?

Tupelo’s, calendula, irises, Lillie’s belles, and peacock plume feathers swirl all around a vase filling the entire frame in a bouquet sitting in a dark green vessel on a creamy table cloth

Wow it’s been 10 years since Beyond the War on Invasive Species was published and I got to hold a physical copy in my hands!
Since then I’ve enjoyed so many interesting conversations about ecology, land stewardship, and the meaning of restoration - here’s to many more years of these!

Listen to the whole Russian rev on the revolutions podcast… decades and decades of infighting about how/when to fight/general strike… NO action, until:

1.) there’s a publicized blood bath by government on people

2.) starvation

Not helping:
Americans don’t even know what a General Strike IS.

The dialogue to armed forces family and community needs to be a reminder of a constitutional oath, not an oath to a dictator.

Volunteer @thepeoplessickdays.bsky.social help raise mutual aid @generalstrikeus.bsky.social and ask other groups to join them. Americans don’t even know what a General Strike IS - think it’s a boycott 🫣
Ask @sanders.senate.gov and @rbreich.bsky.social to TALK about it, call for volunteers.

Like everyone who arrested, drugged and dropped 30,000 into the ocean in Argentina’s dictatorship, none will be punished. We’ve hardly seen the worst. None will be punished. So fight NOW @thepeoplessickdays.bsky.social and @generalstrikeus.bsky.social no more marches that justify military at voting
