Sassafras doesn't get the love it deserves as a wonderful native tree; the leaves are food for spicebush swallowtail and Imperial moth caterpillars, the flowers feed various pollinators, the leaves turn a lovely orange in fall, and the roots have an interesting history as flavoring for root beer. #Trees #NativePlants

I was today years old when I learned that between #ravens and #crows, ravens are the insanely large ones of the two. They gather in groups sometimes in my yard, presumably scouring for worms or something and I can never get over how HUGE they are. I swear, even some hawks seem smaller than them.

Feeling on the war path this morning, as my state continues to get railroaded by new data center projects that only benefit AI and mega corporations, plundering our rivers to cool these monstrosities and leveling pristine forests and prairies.
If I have to get arrested for trespassing to delay construction or at least draw some media attention to this BS, so be it. In the words of the late great John Lewis, sometimes you have to “get in good trouble, necessary trouble."
*"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."*

One of my favorite hashtags on this site is Mosstodon. There's something kind of comforting about #moss that I can't quite put my finger on...closest I can get is that maybe it's because you find a lot of moss in forests, and I'm a huge nemophile 🌲. In any case, I love the softness of it, how it feels on your bare feet and how it's such a natural "carpet"

I've seen a major increase in the number of people wanting to be more food-independent....fruit trees and shrubs are selling like hot cakes at the nursery. People having them tagged practically as they come off the truck. Makes sense though with impending tariffs and inflation. We need to do more though for the #pollinators that give us those fruits....they're still declining from pesticide use and loss of habitat. Yes, plant natives but also attend your local zoning board/planning commission meetings and remind them to keep wildlife in mind when making land use decisions!

The forecast for the rest of the month is looking predominately quite warm so I guess I'm going to go ahead and start the warm-season veggies and herbs. I hate this new normal where we thaw out way too early, then winter returns in late March or early/mid April as I'm moving seedlings outside to get acclimated.

@npub1h33…l2sr When I start my seeds, for whatever I'm starting indoors, I've found good success with Jiffy peat pods. I just follow the package directions for seed depth, drop a seed or two into each pod (after they've expanded of course), then give the try of pods a good misting, put the cover on it, and then wait for germination. Once the seeds have started germinating, I take the lid off, and put the trays under my grow lights, which I keep a few inches above the seedlings. Then, it's just a matter of raising the grow lights as the seedlings grow, and keeping them watered until ready to thin and transplant outside into individual pots or into your garden beds.

Spent the day with my mom. She was quite visibly tired from the radiation treatments but still had enough energy to grab lunch and run one or two errands. She's still waiting to see a rheumatologist about the blood test results that seemed to indicate a possible immune system disorder. Fingers crossed it's just a side effect of a drug she had to take as part of her cancer treatment. But at least she'll be done with radiation after the second week of January so there's that!

@npub1kcd…swxu The problem here is that even plain old CBD is getting caught up in the wrangling over regulations. Our leaders here don't understand that there's a big difference between CBD and THC. CBD doesn't get you high. There's no need to restrict CBD products, though I'd still argue that full spectrum products like Delta-8 shouldn't need such cumbersome regulations either

2023-12-15 23:22:05 UTC

Not happy. I went to go pick up some more #CBD gummies only to find out that the place I get them from has dropped all CBD and THC products because of immense uncertainty about laws and regulations thanks to our dumbass governor and his party thinking they can and should regulate things that they don't understand (hmmm...much like abortion and COVID and LGBTQ rights). I hope Virginia can complete the trifecta next gubernatorial race and get us a Democratic governor who will make these regulations make sense finally. #Hemp #THC

If you're new to the Fediverse and you see people recommending to find a small to medium size instance rather than a big one like Mastodon.social, heed their advice. Once you start getting over a few thousand users, the risk of performance/reliability issues with the server increases exponentially. Plus, users spreading out among many instances is better for maintaining de-centralization than congregating at one or two big ones.

If I had known that a heat wave was going to be following several days of gorgeous fall-like weather, I would've adjusted my vacation week accordingly 😭 #outdoorworkproblems

Really appreciate everyone's well wishes and positive vibes. I'm doing better this morning. It was encouraging to hear from folks who've been down this road before and to hear that given advances in medicine and technology, this is a winnable battle.
Thank you all! 🫶

@npub1jnt…88c4 Thankfully I'm just 30 minutes away; every other Saturday or so I'm over at her place visiting and having lunch, helping her with yard work and computer stuff. My visits are going to be even more meaningful now.

Just got a phone call from my mom; the results of a biopsy came back, and she has breast #cancer. They don't know much just yet, other than it's cancerous, so follow-up imaging is happening in short order. I'm grateful that she has a very good support system in place. Trying not to let my thoughts run away from me since it's still early in the process.

@npub1u3l…zx5p I wish! This is at our nursery’s production farm. Might have to bring one home though!

@npub13ca…58tv send me a DM, I’m happy to talk, as someone also dealing with it plus anxiety.

@npub1kk5…e0ds Well said, and I agree. And I feel this same way when I see people mocking Trump for his weight, and not punching at his fascist impulses, his hate-mongering, and incompetence.

@npub1tgz…446e I used Brave for a little while to try it out and found it to be alright, but the more news I hear about Google the less comfortable I am using Chrome-based browsers (Brave is one). I also didn't like that Brave is involved with crypto companies and builds crypto stuff into their browser. They created their own version of Google Wallet and that was a hard no from me. So basically, Firefox (and a fork of that called LibreWolf) much more privacy focused.

@npub1s5x…lvh8 Yes! The hardest thing for me is feeling like I *don't* have to be doing something all the time (something that was ingrained in me at a young age, that idleness is the devil's playground so to speak)
