It’s mid-June and the roses are putting out their 2nd wave of blooms. ‘Mr Lincoln’ is going for the 5-blooms-on-a-cane look. #gardening #roses 🥀🌱

The ‘Glory Hole’ overflow spillway at Lake Berryessa. Looks like a couple of weeks ago there was water spilling down the, um, spillway. 🐟🌊🦆

These are a couple of rescues - plantlets that had been knocked off the stem. They seem pleased. #gardening🌱

Hey gardeners! You know wine people like to go on about the subtleties of wines, their state of maturity, what it might taste like in 5 years? Well, now you can go toe to toe with them when talking about your taking about your garden. This bloom smells subtly of citrus and green herbs.

I’ve decided that the 4th of July rose is named for the absolute barrage of blooms it brings, rather than the day of the month. Have a spectacular Sunday! #gardening #roses 🌱🥀

The garden is on the move and so is this work table #gardening 🌱

I wonder if the other tourists at famous cultural sites assume I’m a serious scholar because I take a lot of photos and stand around staring intently at the art a lot when really I’m just trying to think of a ass or big naturals joke for my weird internet friends
Look at how gloriously these dummy-thicc centaur asses are illuminated by the rosy tendrils of dawn. Suddenly I want to write a sonnet. Any sonnet-writers in the house tonight?

Solidarity with US students and faculty protesting genocide and dealing with violent law enforcement, unethical paid politicians, captured university administrators, bloodlusting pundits & media
People forget that it was student resistance & student leaders at the core of many anti-colonial movements across the Global South that won liberation for countries from the shackles of colonizing rule. Students fought for independence, strategized, collectivized, disrupted, led, enacted solidarity
