No idea what I'm doing but had a bunch of seeds so decided to experiment

Edible flower mixture has sprouted. Also the arugula. I see some movement in the cress.

But it's a 3 season porch so I may have made a mess of the temperatures and planted the peppers too early.

Ah well... learning. 😁

A fantastic thread to save & return to over & over for inspiration when you feel discouraged (which we all will over the next bunch of years…) by @ifindkarma.bsky.social thank you Adam.

I'm trying to be optimistic and open minded about the next few years but with a hearty dose of realism. Indeed it continues to be a bumpy ride all around.

TBH, I'd also been thinking I should keep my mouth shut. I seldom reply to anyone publicly and am not sure what compelled me this AM. Maybe it was because I hadn't had my coffee yet? Wasn't the first impression I'd indended. I mean, I know who YOU are but nobody would miss me if I dropped off SM.

But the article says the opposite:

"The battle between Ocasio-Cortez, 35, and Connolly, 74, came as several committee ranking members have fallen to challenges from relatively younger colleagues."

Implying only AOC lost where they expected her not to.

I don't see the problem here.

Resources for Artists Against Ai Scroll down for social media sight ratings. Artists are finding it harder to protect their artwork from AI scraping theft. They are forced to delete imagery and leave social media platforms they on…

I wrote a blog post rating popular social media sites by their Ai scraping safety + benefits for artists. Bluesky is our best location for networking. Glad you’re here! kazwindness.blog/2024/11/04/r...

🤣 Nahhh. I got you beat there by a mile.

Jewish Kidlit Joy: Post #3 I've been meaning to read RGB's Brave & Brilliant Women by Nadine Epstein for a couple of years. Presenting the biographies in chronological order worked well & helped emphasize how even when women were meant to be invisible, there were always those that stood out.

Jewish Kidlit Joy: Post #1

I'm reading 18 new (or new to me) Jewish kidlit books. The number 18, in Judaism, represents Chai or Life.

I just read Two Tribes by Emily Bowen Cohen and I can't say enough good things about this debut MG graphic novel about navigating identities (Jewish & Muskogee).

Reminder: #School is CLOSED today in observance of #Sigd.
