The Trailhead Garden

NEW ARRIVALS & RESTOCKS from our friends @oooabooks! These always sell out fast so grab 'em while you can! breadandrosespress.com/collections/...

In case you're all wondering how its going here out in rural bumfuck nowhere, I just packed myself a wide-mouth mason jar of leftover taco bell lemonade for lunch tomorrow. The trailer trash is strong with this one.

Just gonna leave this here.

So I haven't canceled Spotify yet but its on my to-do list, and I think it heard me talking shit 'cause it just gave me this banger of an audiobook lineup. Bitch you don't know me.....okay maybe you do. Off to try to find these on the Libbey app...

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

A picture of a car dashboard with a screen that shows the stereo is playing "Boots of Spanish leather" by bo Dylan. In the windshield there is a view of a long dirt road at dusk.

What are you addicted to? I'm addicted to dusk on a country road with soft Bob Dylan in the background.

A photo of a clean toilet with a stainless steel toilet seat cover dispenser above the back, with paper cartoon eyes and a tongue taped to it, making the dispenser opening look like a frowny mouth.

SOMEBODY (totally not me) decided to anthropomorphise the bathroom toilet seat cover dispenser. Its things like this that keep me sane in a fascist dictatorship.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

In the midst of my rights being threatened and global suffering at the hands of capitalism, I got new meds for my dog and she's very healthy now. Im proud of her. Sometimes all you need to do is take comfort that you helped another creature feel better, not worse.

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

A hand holds a small red mp3 player plugged into a computer console.

Got me a $40 mp3 player from Fred Meyers today. Bluetooth and has expandable storage. Spotify, your days are numbered. As soon as my computer finishes downloading nearly 2,000 songs its over for you fuckers. #spotify #solidarity #oldschool #audiophile #music #streaming

Tip from a fellow leftist: Start a journal. They can't silence a million first-hand, handwritten accounts of the things they've done.

The compost is hot, the bugs are flourishing, the tomatoes are sweet. There is much pain in this world but not in this garden. #alaskagrown #composttherich #sustainability

Whats taters, precious? Taters is feeding the comrades of the revolution, precious. #alaskagrown #localfood #revolution #sustainability #foodisfree #foodnotbombs

Quietly whispering to myself "Fuck it, we ball" while going hog wild and making freezer jam without a recipie. #alaskagrown #sustainability #localfood #revolution #borntobewild

Husband did the laundry today. Some costume stuff got mixed in. I come along this evening and strip naked to change into clean pajamas. I find my bat mask. I am, as per The Law ™️, required to run downstairs to husband, stark naked with the bat mask on, and yell "I'm batman!" In the batman voice.

Weekly mantra share:

Not me getting so busy with compost work I forget to check on my garden. Thankfully Its pretty self-managing once its been planted.

No truck? You do what you gotta do. In this case "what you gotta do" is taking the back seats out and draping a tarp in the back of your Honda Element to transport garden waste for compost.

A seething mass of wriggling, long, pink, esrthworm looking things in a water bucket thats been collecting cool rainwater for several weeks.

Hey I got a question for #entomologists and #gardeners and #ecologists. My question is what the FUCK are those worms in my rain barrel??

Arrow the dog thinks this food waste collection service is an excellent job. Many benefits to the planet, the local food systems, and to his tongue.

Two new vinyl records still in plastic wrap, ACDC's back in black and Eagles.

1. Because I've been working hard and I deserve a treat 2. Because I belive in investing in physical media and weaning myself off of subscription services like Spotify 3. Because godamn fuckyes holyshit that base hits like a freight train of dopamine.

My sweet boy who knows nothing about fascism helps me weed and water the garden this evening.

Compost production is in full swing. Thanks to our customer, Princess Lodge, we are quickly filling up the first half of our bin. With copies amounts of hay and careful management, we hope to have finished compost for my comrades farm soon! To find out more go to Fairbankscompostcollective.com

Got a gorgeous young visitor this morning eating the fireweed and sipping water from the puddles in this tarp. #love #wildlife #sustainable #ecology

Just checking in after a long time to show off the fruits of June. Happy July everyone, and don't forget. Gardening is resistance.

A bathroom mirror with the words "shits been rough" scratched into it.

Me too, random fred meyer bathroom patron, meeeee tooooo.

Sign up today! Compost pickup service, similar to a recycling or trash pickup. Your apartment complex, home or business could help keep thousands of pounds of food waste put of the landfill and put it back in our local food system! #foodsovereignty #sustainability #alaskagrown #localfood #compost

Come see me today at the Earth Day fair at Joy Community Center. 12-4pm

Due to our consistent use of the fireplace this winter, as well as having a very small, very well insulated home, we only used about 150gal of fuel this last year. Goes to show that hard work will save you money (but not time, lol)
