I found a free Google Maps alternative that doesn't track my location (or kill my phone battery) Comaps features voice-guided directions and offline search, prioritizing privacy over the controversial practices of Google Maps.

I don't have any experience with this one, but it says it's privacy focused.

I use a double layer of paper I save from packages. I think burlap might be a problem if the seed roots grow into the weave. Tearing them out would be hard on them. Paper works great if you minimize handling of the roll. Look at the photo I posted.

Gardening Tip: Seed Starting with Seed Rolls and Seed Snails - 1840 Farm It's gardening season, so you'll find my mom and I out in the garden nearly every day. There's a lot of work to be done preparing the vegetable garden for planting and tidying up the flower gardens be...

It's a method for starting seeds. You lay out a long sheet of paper or plastic, top it with a .5-1 inch layer of potting soil, roll it up, and secure it with twine. Set it on it's short end, carefully sprinkle seeds on to the top, then lightly top with fine soil. 1840farm.com/2025/06/gard...

My mom loved what my sister and I classified as "elevator music". Easy listening is what they called it. She characterized rock and roll as "animal music". Woof.

I wish their lives had not been sacrificed on the altar of tRump's ego, in an incoherent illegal action instigated by Israel.

🌱 The State of the Yakhappy Greenhouse! I'm going rather hog wild on the snail rolls this year since I had great success with it last year. In snails: beets, onions, two types of tomatoes, and today carrots. Some folks use plastic for their rolls, but I prefer paper. The lemon is about to flower.

Propaganda,
Trickles like a leaky faucet,
Releasing a steady and persistent wave of anesthesia,
Dulling senses, rewiring neural paths,
Hijacking the mind,
Filling it with illusory truths,
Altering reality, to evoke visceral reactions, over critical thinking,
Wake up.

I'm an OG trekker from the 60s, and it pisses me off so much that Paramount is now a RWNJ-owned outlet. I won't watch it.

US judge orders refunds for more than $130bn in illegal Trump tariffs Trade court directs customs to repay importers with interest after supreme court ruled tariffs unlawful

None of us that aren't importers will ever see a dime in refunds or reduced costs. I have spoken.

I'm glad she's gone, but I wish the sex based attacks would stop. It's not that's she's a woman, it's that she's a psychopath.
