Or see if there's a food pantry in your community that wants them. My neighborhood food pantry is thrilled to be able to offer additional fresh produce.

I take extra garden produce to the neighborhood food pantry. They are thrilled that summer increases what they can offer.

I can't eat tomatoes, so I use a mix of plums and zucchini (courgettes) to recreate the mouth feel of crushed tomatoes, and use vinegar, sugar, and herbs to balance the acid/flavor.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

That's been on my to-read list for ages. I have a couple other books out from the library, but if you are reading it I will try to bump it up the list.

Clusters of small white compound flowers rise above ferny foliage.

Coriandrum sativum inflorescences.

Yes: there is no double jeopardy for impeachment proceedings. You can keep doing it over and over.

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited).

It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.

Have separately confirmed. Secretary Kennedy should be removed.

*snort laugh* I would be fascinated!
But my interests spill over into urban planning and infrastructure. I haven't yet done an AuDHD deep dive into the subject, but it's on the list. 🙂

Me: Werewolves? Wait, this isn't Gail Carriger!

I agree w/your yum! Shrimp, crab, lobster, and crayfish are all arthropods, aka bugs, so people are happy to eat bugs in certain contexts. Anyone being squeamish about consuming shellac because it's bug secretions is being inconsistent.

No. M&Ms have a sugar & corn syrup glaze, and are then tumbled & polished. That's why they are so shiny.

A carnivorous 'bone collector' caterpillar dresses in the remains of its prey A new carnivorous caterpillar that wears the remains of its prey has been dubbed the bone collector. The odd insect is only found on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

A host of caterpillars native to Hawaii use silk glands to spin protective cases studded w/lichen, sand & other materials. This one is the first to use ant heads & fly wings. Scientists found just 62 of the carnivorous caterpillars in over 20 years of observing.

I'm working on adding medicinal herbs to the community orchard where I volunteer. Will have to figure out how to collect seed from some of them, but luckily a few are perennial.

Sadly H-Mart is not national. Looks like it's along the East Coast & West Coast, & in the greater Chicago area, w/a few additional locations. But the plains & Midwest are lacking. I'm lucky to have a bunch of small local Asian markets in my city, but no 99 Ranch or H-Mart.

And cardamom and nutmeg. Any spices that need a tropical environment to grow.

Be sure to read book 2.5 in Milan's Cyclone series when you are able, and I think there is a free short story from the universe available on her website?

And for those dubious about historical romance, I think her "Worth Saga" might be one of the most accessible places to start.

Courtney Milan's contemporary 'Cyclone' series is amazing. I reread it every so often to keep it fresh for when the next title in it comes out. In the meantime there are all her other books to reread!

Fascism is destructive & awful & "not everyone lives to see the other side, but it always, always fails. It takes work. It takes fighting back. It takes throwing punches. It takes doing whatever it takes to beat it back..."

The United States is currently a country where you can be kidnapped by secret police and shipped off to a slave labour concentration camp without ever being charged with a crime or getting a chance to argue your case in front of a judge.

If you think it can't happen to you, why do you think that?

Wild. Right after Cory Booker went viral for speaking on the "wretched truth about America," he just voted to keep arming a government that just officially achieved The Deadliest Conflict Ever for Journalists & executed and buried 15 paramedics and their emergency vehicles
