In the words of @lukelukeluke.bsky.social, here are some good mushrooms!

I kinda miss the days where there were only like, 10 podcasts. Remember when we ALL listened to Serial?! A simpler time.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Tomato gang, rise up! 🍅🍅🍅🍅

Yesss! We have 15 chickens haha

I made an olive oil lemon cake, butter, AND homemade pizza today but I’m also a raging feminist who believes in bodily autonomy, pasteurized milk, vaccines, school, love is love etc which is WILD TO HAVE TO SAY in this day and age

Truly wild that we let men be in charge of stuff for so many years when they literally used to settle arguments with duels, like just talk it out like women would idk?????!!

It’s SO RUDE!!! Like that’s all it takes to make me unravel?? Can’t a girl just have a day to rot I guess not in these trying times!! Gotta be fit to fight fascism 😖

I was there on Saturday, can confirm it felt good to spend $$$ with a company that isn’t kissing the ring!!!

After missing a workout yesterday, I’m sorry to report that exercise is, in fact, the thread that I’m dangling by so I don’t dip into complete existential despair.

Just had a mini cry sesh, feeling all the heaviness from the past 2 weeks and was like oh shit I need to workout I cannot feel this rn

I download IG once a week to link to my substack and then promptly delete it. No dumb reels, no ads, no meta cesspool.

This month is feeling like I want to wander into a local bookstore and buy hundreds of dollars of books just to feel something.

2025 vibe

I miss when the internet was just a fun little place to disassociate and look at memes and photos and funny videos. It all started going downhill in 2016 and now every platform feels like a different level of hell????

Yay hiiii!!!!

Just downloaded!! Thank you!

Or sometimes local landscaping places will offer a garden mix in bulk and they’ll deliver to you! Call around and ask them for what you need. Your local nursery will be your best friend haha

Raised beds can be costly upfront but look into hugelktur for adding organic matter to the bottom to save some $$! I started raised beds with Mel’s mix from the book square foot gardening — 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 compost. Purchased in bulk it wasn’t TOO horribly $$ but an investment!

I love that! I’m in 6a so don’t grow figs here but haven’t tried. I’m adding paw paws to our growing mini orchard this year and v excited

When someone asks about my biggest fear but I can’t say this creepy dude from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, specifically his jerky head movements and horrifying teeth, so I just say “the dark”

Not too late to order bare root fruit trees!!

Sure, they’ll take longer to bear fruit than a more established tree from a nursery, but will be healthier in the long run since the root system will have a chance to establish before putting forth energy to produce fruit.

Hell yeah

Yay hi!! Wait your name looks so familiar. Have you written for RW or bicycling?? Or maybe I followed you on Twitter at some point?!

The best kinda gift 🫶🏼

Yay hi there!! I’m waiting eagerly for bluesky’s IG like app, Flashes, to launch 📸 I didn’t fully delete my account but it’s dormant for…well, a long time probably lol

Omg yay hi!! I loves threads post election but I just had to get away from zuck platforms 😩😩😩😩

I’m amending my No Buy 2025 list and making an exception for banned books. I have a thriftbooks cart full of ‘em 📚

I deleted Threads and IG where I followed tons of progressive gardeners and homesteaders and am on the hunt for those accounts on here!! It that’s you, drop a comment so it can be a resource for people to find each other 🫶🏼

Felt like a good day to bust this sweatshirt out.
