feed people native plants

Looks like they’ve been eating persimmons

I only eat them fresh when they’re goop

So fn good. Taste like what I imagine an orange would taste like if it wasn’t acidic. I saw you say caramel too.

I bet it’d be good on a piece of toast

One of if not my favorite fruit

I just slurp out the inside and toss the skin

If you haven’t tried honey from the locust, you should! It’s got a nice vanilla honey flavor. Delicious but can be a lil hard to eat since there’s not much fruit to it. The beans are edible too! Such a cool tree that too many people overlook

I’m from the Dayton area, now living in Cincinnati

So I gotta s/o

The Isley Brothers (Lincoln Heights) who gave a young Jimi Hendrix his start as their guitarist (soul)

and

Hi-Tek (West End) still influencing hip hop with the funky sound of SW OH

Ohio Players living and teaching students funk in Dayton led to many groups from the area:

Heatwave
Zapp
Slave
Lakeside
Faze-O
Dayton
Sun
The Dayton Sidewinders
Young Mods
Aurra
Steve Arringtons Hall of Fame

and more

You’d see them on ‘American Bandstand’ on a Saturday, and then on Monday afternoon you’d see them on the street. That was a big inspiration. -Roger Troutman

When they were famous, [the Players] never went to L.A. or New York; they stayed right here in Dayton. I can remember seeing them drive down the street in those new cars, seeing them living in those big houses.

‘The Ohio Players! That’s what gave all of us in the area the incentive to play.’ Troutman said of the ‘70s funk outfit best known for Fire and Love Rollercoaster ‘Babyface came from this area; a lot of people came from this area. The O’Jays, Slave. They were here because the Ohio Players were here.

Bootsy Collin’s played bass for the Father of Funk (James Brown) who started his music career in Cincinnati, Bootsys hometown

Bootsy asked James ‘what’s funk?’. James said go hard on the one and two-four will work itself out

Bootsy went on to play with George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic

In SW Ohio you could run into a music legend at the grocery store. Funk lives here. youtu.be/dOlH07dR9Ak?...

Mr. Roger's Funky Neighborhood Every day is a beautiful one for the leader of Zapp. Which doesn't diminish the scope--or influence--of his work as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer.

A lot of ppl don’t know Roger helped house his community by building and rehabilitating hundreds of housing units, covering down payments, making home ownership possible for low-income residents of Dayton

Nonprofit Modeled After DC Central Kitchen Opening in Triangle With plans to launch pilot programs in 2026, Triangle Central Kitchen aims to reduce food insecurity while creating job opportunities.

“We are a nation that has the potential to solve our hunger crisis that hasn’t,” Woods stresses. “I don’t think too many people need to have it explained to them how dire the need is in this particular moment for work that touches at the intersection of hunger and poverty.”

New Albany quite literally the wealthiest suburb of Columbus. Created by and home of Lex Wexner the local billionaire that Ohio State Hospital is named in honor of. Who was also a close friend of Epstein. I’d imagine he’s not happy with seeing this. 🖕🏾

YouTube doing it too

Opossum would like everyone to know
if you live somewhere where you can leave the leaves-
that’s where the tastiest snacks are😄

Was the egg OK?

Been having a fantastic time in North Carolina , kiki-ing with SE Woodlands Natives and learning how to culturally burn from Lumbee firekeepers.
Best Indigenous Peoples weekend i coulda wished for.

Embrace your inner nasty for good

Thanks for sharing. I was reading about how before the war people weren’t having kids because of the economic situation many found themselves in after the Great Depression. Made me think about how millennials (kids of baby boomers) aren’t having as many kids today. Seems like a colonial numbers game

I wonder how this impacted the baby boom

This is something a lot of white people don't get about segregation...the GI bill did not apply to anyone not white until legislation passed for it much later.
