Oh it’s warm??? Wait, it’s warm!?! 🙂‍↔️☀️

I miss my little home in Montana sm sometimes. It makes my chest ache with the homesickness.

Picture for tax:

Things that most dogs would hate but Franklin loves: laying full weight on him with my cheek pressed to his cheek and squeezing him hard enough to woosh the air outta him. He ADORES that sh*t.

When I was a junior or so in hs and my friends and I were having a convo about food scarcity and how GMO’s weren’t inherently bad and I had the audacity to say “non genetically modified food is more important” and was met with silence. I quickly realized my wrongdoing.

Apicture with a pink background with orange and cream colored shapes layered over it. There are graphics of bananas, a pear and some meat. Title: Food Sovereignty: What is it? Small text: People are constantly facing food crises, especially with the uncertain future and ever-changing social climate. Let's go over some of the basics!

A picture with a green background and blue text boxes. There is a graphic of a loaf of bread, sausage links and eggs. Box one: Food sovereignty is a growing, global movement. It's purpose is to bring back healthy, sustainable access to food - for everyone! Box two: Food Sovereignty (F.S.) is the belief that everyone has the right to healthy and sustainable food that gits within the individual's physical and cultural needs.

A picture with an orange background and two text bubbles. There are graphics of a steak, an orange and a sliced up piece of fruit. Text bubble one: The idea of F.S. started among the indigenous communities, but extends to landless workers and those impacted by poverty and global hunter. Text bubble two: In the Northwest areas (Idaho, Oregon and Washington) there are tribal coalitions and organizations that are focused primarily on preserving and re-introducing traditional food sourcing and harvesting.

A picture with an off-white background. There are multiple text boxes in blue and graphics of plants at the bottoms. The text boxes have lists read: How can I get involved? Take part in community gardens and food plots! Support indigenous farmers and food systems! Eat Local! Buy/trade with local producers and farmers! Practice sustainable growing...be environmentally aware! Participate in mutual aid and food distribution efforts in your community! Community gardens in Kennewick area: West highlands Methodist Church. Hansen Park. Community gardens in Richland area: McMurray Park, Corner of Stevens Dr. and Jadwin Ave. North of Gage Boulevard on Venus Street. Frankfort Park. Community gardens in Pasco area: Tierra Vidda park. Kurtzman Park. Palomino Parks.

Food scarcity is a scary thing! Thankfully, there are ways you can manage these situations.

Living in ND is knowing that it’s real-feel -28° and you still have to pretend like that wouldn’t give you hypothermia while you scoop the snow you just cleared off the other day, bc it blew back onto your driveway.

If I cover every inch of my skin with tattoos, it means I can’t see how splotchy and pale I am during the winter.

Problem solved.

Finished product: soft, a little misshapen, didn’t quite hold its rise. But delicious.

Onto its 30 minutes without a lid…big news, I actually have an ear on it….which I’ve never really gotten 🥹

Baking my first blueberry sourdough loaf. Will update with more pictures.

A side profile pencil sketch of a genderless person with blank eyes. They have monstera leaves covering their head and tendrils of hair trailing from under the leaves.

A closeup of the monstera leaves. They overlay each other and cast shadows

A closeup of the person’s eye and nose. The eye lacks an iris and has a weary look to it. The nose is shaded darker towards the tip, like it’s flushed.

This is a closeup of the person’s mouth and nose. The mouth is closed and tilted downwards in a neutral shape. There are no definitive lip lines, but the inside of the lip is shaded darker, making the mouth look bloodless or pale.

How do people name their art? How could I give this a title and know it wouldn’t cover everything the piece means?

Anyway. I love this one.

Anybody else still feeling this kind of way?

Thats how dogwhistles work, my guy

The animalistic urge to curl into a small cave and sip honeyed coffee while gazing out at the blowing snow, wrapped in my thickest blanket and with soft crackly music playing in the corner.

When I applied to FAFSA. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

When I was in high school and found out my dad didn’t want to go to our Catholic Church anymore bc it had “too many Mexicans”. Now, I’m not sure if that was exact wording, but we very quickly stopped attending that church when it became overwhelmingly Hispanic.

What radicalized us: A Thread

Literally. To even lay a finger on Zak Bagans? To breathe the same air as Aaron (and tell him to chillax)?

Essentially, they’re stopping what little “help” people seeking higher education have, and withholding the funds needed to go to college for most people!!

Hello! I highly encourage everyone to look into what those federal spending halts look like…yes, they affect schools, hospitals, local businesses etc, but they also halt all disbursement of student loans and Pell grants…

I think quite often about these kind of pictures of Franklin. Especially in the middle of the night when I wish I could sleep half as well as he does.

Bought my ration of coffee today….it didn’t seem like nearly enough to last me the rest of this presidency.

Fingers crossed my taste buds adapt to tea.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

Extremely long tweet by Colombian president Gutavo Petro, auto-translated from Spanish. Continued in next post. Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some worthy things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like bullshit to me, because they should unite. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are inside the US as well as inside my country. I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a shot of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can, with your economic strength and your arrogance, try to carry out a coup d'état as they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, 1 resisted torture and I resist you. I do not want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you cannot accompany me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you did not understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last. You will kill me, but I will survive in my town which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. You do not like our freedom, okay. I do not shake hands with white slavers. I shake the

This goes hard

Don’t mind me over here, adjusting the seam of my sock to not touch my pinky toe, in a very non-neurodivergent way.

I haven't seen, heard or witnessed one person from Denmark/Greenland saying they want to be part of the U.S...everyone wants as much distance as possible from this failing country.

Not to mention (taking this from one of my good friends), don’t discuss sensitive topics over text, chats or places that will be monitored by gov. Esp topics having to do with 👆🏻👆🏻 the above things!

This is your official reminder, if asked:

You “don’t know” anyone who is LGBTQ+

You “aren’t sure” of someone’s citizenship status

You “wouldn’t have a clue” if someone is part of protest groups or resistance organizations…unless they’re MAGA, ofc
