Yeah, excellent harvest (and collective output)!
Had my first ‘local bird decides I’m cool enough to land on for closer inspection/parlay’ moment in the front garden this aft. Street cred ROI ftw 😎
Good question, and I’ve been reading up a bit but still unsure. Guessing the latter, as some here reach 3’ tall - but may also be both, or some hybrid!
Dozens of purple Camas lilies with yellow pollen sacs, with four to six flowers per stem growing in tall green grass.
We're getting closer to peak Camas lily time here in the Willamette Valley. They are my favorite wildflower, and their bulbs are an important First Food for local Indigenous people. I usually catch them in ones and twos in a wet meadow, so it's great to see dense patches like this. #oregon
In 2003, Florida produced 242 million boxes of oranges... 25 years later it's 12 million. Why? Climate change, private equity, disease, developers. A brilliant long-read slate.com/business/202...

“The novel normalised private interiority. It gave readers a way to sit alone and spend time inside another consciousness. It trained a relation to selfhood that now feels so obvious and natural we can barely register it as new or rather novel at all.”
Vermont staying an outlier in so many of the best ways—
Rather than asking whether consciousness exists beyond our brains, a better question may be how many different forms of experience evolution has produced?
Yeah, don’t think we get out without passing through an AI-juiced explosion of cult-lite belief systems *as an essential process of cultural deprecation & reform*. Tinfoil PPE ☑️

"When we loosen our grip on specific outcomes and orient ourselves toward what we value, we can become more resilient and sustain our motivation. Values travel with us, and they’re what allow us to keep pivoting as circumstances change."
Been a while since I found a nice honed freshie 🤗🐦🔥
I wrote about AI, America's love of artifice, and how I desperately want to believe the AI slop era drives a renaissance for authenticity

Being in the body of place gets close to a revelation of indigeneity that people of scriptural cultures can venture to make sense of.
