Amazing how he can talk about the need for small government to slash regs to protect the ppl & planet, while he’s actually out for big govt, the biggest govt, the biggest of all big governments…

Very good overview piece of how Trump will weaponize the government to move the US towards an authoritarian regime. All of this is out in the open. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/04/u...

Why a Second Trump Presidency May Be More Radical Than His Firstwww.nytimes.com Donald Trump has long exhibited authoritarian impulses, but his policy operation is now more sophisticated, and the buffers to check him are weaker.

dang, this smells so good rn. mmm mm added some extra *secret spices* of pearly everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) & manzanita (Arctostaphylos columbiana) that I wild harvested in the summer. about half of the juniper berries i also harvested time to warm it up a bit.. 🌿🌼

Early Yuletide prep. Dehydrating oranges to make garlands. 🍊 Dehydrating on low this year to see if it preserves the colour better. Also going to try and make a blackberry liqueur to make a bramble foam topping for a Chritmie drink I want to try making this year… 🍷

Did a day trip up to Brackendale this afternoon. Had the pleasure of hanging out with these sky gods gracing us with their presence by the river.

grey skies chill damp all around yet the sun glows still from the death on the ground

don’t stop beleafing

Should have also included this photo I thought the US said ‘no red lines’? what is at the “cusp” of peace? a bloody edge src: www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-of...

Did a thread on xitter about the links between Biden’s darling glorious new trade deal, IMEC (that they are banking on to counter China’s rising hegemony through BRI with), & the war Israel is waging w Hamas. Will try to import in full, but I have to run rn.. x.com/mari_lasilva...

Lakshmi sends you sweet vibes of light in dark times, health & abundance. 💛🩷💛 (Just took this down today. Was for Diwali.)

Went to a trippy fern, mushroom and salal concert last night by Modern Biology 🍄 🎶

Anyone know what this spectacular bush / tree is? Smoke bush, Cotinus coggygria?

A lot of heavy stuff going on out there, so Michiko & Minou send efurrypawdy the eternal love, light & abundance of Lakshmi fur Diwali—or Deepawali! 🌸🌼🪔🦉🪔🌼🌸

Unbelievable that this is a watercolour painting. How many years does it take to master painting water like this? www.facebook.com/100001886077...

I did that w mu hub a few yrs ago and we visited Major Oak too! Did you see the Fortingal yew? (I should do a post w my pics of fav trees fm that trip…) The plane tree in Bath is also so amazing!

I forgot to post that I finally got around to trying out a recipe for a shrub! Recipe: 1 heaping cup of blackberries & raspberries, 1/2 c ea water & raw apple cider vinegar, 1/3 c wildflower honey, nub of grated ginger, tiny dash of rosewater. Blend, put in jar in fridge to allow flavours to meld.

Researching food to make when we celebrate Diwali next weekend (dh has Indian background so want our little one to be connected to his heritage). It all looks so good I’m lazily fantasizing we had a big fam who would make it all & we could just show up & enjoy. m.timesofindia.com/life-style/f...

Maybe it’s time to read my book , “To 2040”. It can’t hurt. It might help. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

Jorie Graham confronts time and her own mortality in new booknews.harvard.edu “Mortality got my attention. And it was — as we are told to believe but rarely do — a gift,” says the acclaimed poet, whose latest collection, “To 2040,” looks at the many crises shadowing...

I used to post newsy & academic-y professional-ish thoughts on twitter, & mom thots & nature photos to IG. Now post less, but it mostly goes here. Obs bc eff xitter. & yeah, eff meta too. Really hoping @jay.bsky.team doesn’t betray & maintains course to those mossy solarpunk castles in the sky

Mexican corn cake that the Brits would prob call a pudding.

Last night tested the instapot for Sunday roast. Dh made Yorkshire pudding! Tirned out pretty good, and so fast, it’s wild. I can take all the comfort food I can get as the sun recedes and the news gets darker.
