Years of finds and acquisitions, takes a while to offload, even with frequent multi-bag donation trips!

Same! Have offloaded some bits, so far, and as ever, its the micro-est of dents in the stashes

Will see if i can watch after our garage sale, its a great day for it here, though probably wont sell much, its more of an excuse for Swedish death cleaning practice

Also, who was Darrin to police her use of witchcraft. From my recollection of that show, she never used it for inappropriate personal gain or aggrandizement, unnecessary vengeance, or other nefarious purposes. Neutralizing a drunk that is bothering you, ? what is not to love about that

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

In Denmark, farmers are required by law to grow field flowers for bees on 5 % of their land…. 💐🐝

White House mantelpiece loaded down with dumbfoundingly cheesy fake gold knickknacks, possibly plastic. Ignore floating head at bottom.

Did they just have some lackey go out and buy knickknacks and then dip them in 14K gold paint?

Lol, that would work really well on mastodon

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio at S&P 500 companies last year was 285-to-1. The median employee would have had to start working in the year 1740 to earn what the average CEO received in 2024. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Glad to know I am not the only Jew who enjoys farming (aspirational for now in my case).

Any recommendations on reading on Am Olam, it's history, etc.?

Great word for what’s unfolding in our nation right now..

Give them no peace!
