Winner winner chicken dinner

Garden in orange raised bed planters surrounding a slab of reclaimed concrete with a blue clawfoot tub sitting on it. The tub is plumbed to send greywater to the landscape

And, shotgun aside, all of those new skills and knowledge have made my current life immeasurably better. More attuned to the cycles of where I live, able to cultivate a lush space in my desert home without abusing our water resources. My garden this winter

Then I reread it in late 2024 and learned to shoot and bought a shotgun. It’s a highly motivating book. Shape change.

I read Parable of the Sower in 2020. That was…mentally bracing. Since then I’ve studied native edible plants, rainwater harvesting, greywater use, desert organic gardening & my job is now to teach classes on all of the above. I’ve been building a more climate resilient home—& community.

Ha! I have said that many many times. Please, by all means, new version of Gallego, go hard. But until there’s actual follow through and consistency, yeah no.

This was in response to the idea of supporting him for presidency. Many of his AZ constituents aren’t even willing to support him for another Senate run. He’s shown lots of signs of being Sinema 2.0

God no. I’m a Gallego constituent. He’s an opportunist who cannot be counted on and will throw anyone under the bus at any moment if he thinks it suits his interest. He’s in the pocket of crypto and AI broligarchy. Yes, it’s good when he goes hard for good things. But never ever put faith in him.

No offense was taken :)

Middle of the desert checking in here. We are fighting them too.

Tank top in Tucson. This is not okay.

Arizona would like to second all of this

Series of Terra cotta colored raised bed planters full of plants surrounding a concrete patio with a blue claw foot tub on it. One of the planters is bare soil, freshly planted.

I just added another raised bed to my garden-in-progress. Every time I put in seeds, I think “I’ll remember what I planted here.” Then they come up, and lo and behold, I do not remember. #garden #tucson

*Handmaid’s

This is literally the plot of The Handmaiden’s Tale.

Yes!

Legit cultural difference! Only snow is on the mountain, and that only occasionally. Nearest regular snow is a 4-5 hour drive. It would definitely seem odd to see a ski mask. It’s 80 degrees here today. And point taken on your main point.

Tucsonan here—not even remotely a plausible mask for our weather. No one in Tucson would wear that unless they were hiding their identity.

I filed on Monday and got my return direct deposited today. So y’all may be tired, but someone broke a land speed record! Thanks!!

20 schools closed in Tucson in anticipation of massive walkouts — including 5 high schools

Real talk. Same.

No one in their right mind trusts Gallego

This weird sensation I’m feeling— the one where Ruben fucking Gallego is actually taking a position that I called his office to ask that he take. Profoundly strange. I’m used to him being consistently terrible.

The cartoon in question

Emergency protest 5pm today at Banner Medical Center in Tucson, which is where the BP shooting victim was taken this morning.

I don’t have a particularly good translator app to offer. But I have spent a LOT of time with Syrians over the past decade and here are a few phrases I think could serve:

Ahlan wa sahlan = welcome (very gracious)

Maafi mushkila = no problem

Kwyis = good

Literally made me laugh out loud. In my boss’s office while I was waiting for her to be ready for a meeting. You have captured their essences in a word apiece. Gouda (short for Gouda Boy) is concerned. Tatiana is excited. Zuka is deranged.

That is exactly what we call them. We have a cartoon drawing from this pic with them as Cerberus

Three black dogs clustered together like Cerberus
