Bari Weiss, the incoming editor in chief of CBS News, once auditioned for a role on the hit daytime television show "The View," but tested so poorly with audiences that she "wasn't invited back," according to a new report.

Lilacs reblooming, confused by fall weather ⋆ Restore Lilac Way

Yesterday at work the bakery debuted the pot pies they've been making. They were delicious and everyone was happy. We all got to try them. It was a lovely cozy day.

So weird to listen to people that the US is transforming into an oligarchy. Who do you think drafted the Constitution? What was George Washington? The wealthiest men of the colonies cooked up this scam.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

Poppy State: A Labyrinth of Plants and a Story of Beginnings
By Myriam Gurba. Timber Press. Out
Oct. 21.
The latest by writer and activist Myriam Gurba is a raw yet delightful lesson for our time. Gurba masterfully blends ecofeminism, memoir, humor, candor, plant love and Indigenous knowledge into one of the most unique and captivating books I've read this year.
