Talk about learned helplessness. Protest, call your representatives, do something. Don't just lie low, what the fuck.

I once tried making a similar argument to a game warden about only hunting deer during the day. They were not appreciative of the take.

This was after I hit a deer with my car while driving home from Thanksgiving, it was not a good time.

In 20 years, the cemetery is going to be full of headstones for children just like those old cemeteries from the 1800s and people will likely just think in mid 1900s we buried our kids somewhere else and not that kids didn't die needlessly for 70 years, and we for some reason brought it back.

So my only major issue is my normal brand of shoes changed thier foot bed insert and it wholly fucked up my back and knee after a week.

I thought I just needed to break them in, I've had to buy a new pair of shoes that don't maim me instead now, which is a new experience at 38.

As a locksmith, I can tell you what I tell my paranoid customers. Buying the greatest lock in the world doesn't do shit if you still have first floor windows.

Trump has said out loud he believes he's going to hell. Why would anyone allow him to make this claim? I don't understand my reality, it's fucking insane.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I hate podcasts. I just don't connect with them, they're background noise I don't process.

I'm consuming media I would prefer it to be a solo activity, whether that's reading or watching a video. Audio only content is in some nether place where I comprehend nothing.

From a quick skim of the transcript of the first episode, the correct method is phonics. Which thankfully the school and I both teach, they just stop promising to improve the reading level after fourth grade.

My kids school promises literacy by 4th grade and hasn't mentioned it since. They're in 8th grade now. It's brutal, I've been working on thier reading level but it's hard when the school isn't making it a priority.

 

We made 11 jars of pickled green tomatoes and 21 jars of salsa. Jars are Pint sized (≈.5 L). Unpictured is the 4 gallons (≈16L) of blanched and frozen red tomatoes that we'll eventually turn into sauce.

This took a while. Every window in the house was fogged.

 

We found a recipe for pickled green tomatoes we're trying out. Let you know how it goes.

 

Got nearly 20 ounces, 566 grams for the more civilized.

Also some volunteer Jack-o-lantern pumpkins, I've had to pick them earlier than I wanted because a ground hog has devoured 6-7 pumpkins already.

 

I was given a bine (yes, that's not a typo) by my father in law.

Unsure of the variety, and unsure of what I want to do with them, brewing my own beer is a lot of work and cleaning I dont have time for.

May see if a local brewery wants them.

I tried planting edible landscaping this year, but it's been working pretty poorly. I think I need figure out a better way to communicate the expectations with pedestrians.

So far 2 Cantaloupes have been taken well before ripening, an unripe green pumpkin was taken, an unripe bell pepper was taken, and they aren't touching the ripe tomatos or strawberries. So I'm very confused.

Maybe I'm expecting them to have too high of a base knowledge of garden plants? I may just move the garden inside the fence and build a small pantry instead.

 

For the 250th anniversery of America (honestly, vomit) the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Natural Areas and Preserves is reconstructing the maps and transcribing surveyor notes from the 1800s to create an interactive map of Ohio's presettlememt habitats.

I'll be sure to post an update once the map is out.

 

My pawpaws saplings I planted last fall are still alive!

They have started budding leaves. I know I'm a few years away from fruit production but I am curious if anyone has found good ways to attract pollinators outside of rotting meat. Not sure the city would be very excited about that prospect.

I am considering making a native carion flower plant garden near the trees to make area more attractive to pollinators prior to the pawpaws flowering. Was wondering it anyone else had tried that idea. I've found 3 somewhat promising options in my area of Ohio.

These seem to be an especially symbiotic options https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_sessile https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_erectum

And this could be grown if you have a bog garden https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplocarpus_foetidus

 

Its a bit potato, I made it on my phone. Feel free to make improvements.

 

Should I be concerned that Duo is coming for me?

 

I'm currently hunting down pawpaw trees, Blueberry bushes, black raspberry, and other native fruits for my garden.

Looking for suggestions.

I looked into black cherries, but they get too large and too easily wind damaged for the proximity I'd have to plant them to my house.

 

I've made it my mission to get banned from NextDoor while trolling the MagaHats. They won't stop sending me notifications. I've been stealing memes from the https://lemmy.world/c/shermanposting group.

So far I'm more or less been allowed to run rampant, so here are some of the hits.
