A bunch of bunches of bananas, ripe and ready to eat. These were harvested last week. There are still a lot of bananas that need another week to finish ripening.

Today's harvest from the farm. Bananas (all of this from 1 plant), 1 cacao pod, 6 passionfruit, one guava, and 3 coffee cherries.

Close up of the guava and coffee.

Most of the coffee is still green right now, so we are just getting a few early cherries here and there.

Fabulous photo!

A few pictures from around the farm to brighten your weekend.

Medical debt or bankruptcy isn’t a sign of personal irresponsibility, it’s a sign of a country’s irresponsibility.

nope

You have no idea how much I needed this

It's not even well scripted. The performance is mediocre at best

@feedphil.bsky.social Phil Rosenthal is a national treasure!

💯 this!

This ad is good for my soul

Some of the recent harvest from our tropical rainforest home: pineapple, coconut, passion fruit, and pumpkin.

This is how to have difficult conversations with vaccine sceptics

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Such a coward he is

same same

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

THIS! It's exhausting. And any source that opposes their perspective is called fake news.

From article: “Mills and Maine have demonstrated what we resistance types all know to be true — Trump is a bully, and bullies are weak. By standing up to him, Mills has shown us the way and reminded us that we can win if we’re willing to fight.”

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.

It also received $22M in federal aid.

While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Under Trump, Americans are relearning the lesson we learned about the oligarchy during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

thinking about the amount of context necessary to explain to someone from 2010 what people are protesting with signs reading "cheap eggs not measles" or "tax the rich, not the penguins"

Everyone in every state needs to be calling

Thank you, Senator. This is the leadership that we need right now @booker.senate.gov

Sen. Cory Booker has shattered the record, brought the BEST trouble, and redeemed the dream of America.

Massive thanks with all our hearts and greatest appreciation @booker.senate.gov

Well, they lied. Obviously.
