Thanks everyone! Josh, Will, and Jer β the team behind this home garden β want to help inspire and encourage other gardeners. DM to connect! Oh, and if you think this pic is cool and gorgeous, JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!! ππ€π
Still learning how to prune and utilize everything properly butβ¦ Iβd say we are just about at our goal of having a naturalistic and beautiful forest edge garden, in the heart of the city.
Forest edges are home to many endangered plants and animals. Their herbs, bushes and small trees form an existentially important, structurally rich habitat. Forest edges can also be a stepping stone for the dispersal of species and contribute to biotope networking.ππΏπ±βοΈπ²π³π

The Agricultural Research Service and its forbears were and are vital to that work, a collective benefit to the public and the world. Without them big corporations will take more power and profit at the expense of farmers and people who buy and consume food, ie all of us
βYou tried to disappear me, but I'm here...to advocate for my people, for the Palestinians.β @prem_thakker writes about Mahmoud Khalilβs visit to the US Capitol. Khalilβs visit comes as an effort to change policy and advocate for Palestinians.
Journalist Afeef Nessouli (@afeefness) just returned from Gaza where he volunteered as an aid worker and witnessed the desperate hunger of those living under Israel's strict blockade of humanitarian aid.

This is why folks are chanting: βThere is only one solution! Intifada! Revolution!β
America is starving children to death in Gaza. We couldβve stopped this but we didnβt. I donβt know how congressmembers both Democrat and Republican live with themselves. Of course this is Netanyahuβs doing, but we are complicit. We provide the money and weapons. This is evil.
Wapato (Sagittaria latifolia) in bloom The root is a delicious tuber often known as a duck potato. This remarkable plant was once a foundational piece of North American ecology & civilization, tended in vast water gardens and traded between tribes across much of the continent
Emma Goldman: "Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name! Every fool, from king to policeman, from the flatheaded parson to the visionless dabbler in science, presumes to speak authoritatively of human nature. 1/2
Water, trees, air, biodiversity and nature are the immutable guarantors of all our lives. If we do not respect, protect and value them, we are the ones who do not know how to respect, protect and value ourselves. Life is beautiful and is our responsibility.ππΏπ±βοΈπ³π²ππ
Sound up. π When you walk through a forest you connect to something greater. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #biodiversity #rewilding #natureneedshalf
The mass atrocity in Gaza is a genocide, obviously, and is an undisguised ethnic cleansing operation. But it's also a lot more than that. It's an experiment β to see what kinds of abuses the public will accept without causing significant disruption to the imperial status quo.β¦
People in Gaza are starving to death. @UNICEF is warning that deadly malnutrition among children is reaching catastrophic levels. Humanitarian aid at scale is urgently needed. Safe, unrestricted access into Gaza must be granted to save lives.
More people are saying it
The planet is screaming for help, and we canβt ignore it any longer! π Floods are ravaging communities, fueled by climate change driven by unchecked greed and over-reliance on fossil fuels. The rich and powerful must wake up,oil wonβt last forever, and exploiting people and theβ¦
Itβs worse than βGaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.β Itβs that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
Wow the NYS DMV website with all the giant red banners is giving an apocalyptic vibe these days on top of being just as utterly useless as ever
