Dicentra!!!!!

Um, does “let them eat brioche” ring any bells here? The rich, in plutocracies and theocracies and monarchies, have often declared that the poor don’t deserve food. Founders knew this. FDR knew this. Why do we have to re-learn this now??

Oh you lovely Dodecatheon! Why did they have to rename you Primula? You're not a primrose, you're a shooting star!

Today (and perhaps all days here on out) we pronounce that red powder with a Hungarian accent: PAHP-ree-kah.

Can’t believe people here in MT still wait until Memorial Day to plant. This mesclun is ready to eat! #garden #growveggies

Fixed it!

Well, yes, and she's from Ireland and Memphis, just sayin'.

With Daines now out, maybe Busse will switch over to run for senate?

He broke the guy's hand! The guy was lawfully exercising his First Amendment right to protest and speak. Shady is a violent goon.

Abso-freakin’-lutely. The deeply stupid and venal pretty boy Jared Kushmer has given it away over and over: you destroy Iran, you get first dibs on turning Gaza into luxury condos.

Here’s the nub:

Full stop.

That’s why public broadcasting is so important and why the oligarch class has been trying to murder it for decades #NPR #PBS

That’s horrible

Beautiful!

Yup: distressed is right.

Thanks. Just about to tackle a heel turn, then those pesky gusset pick-ups.
