I have a clue who came through here last.

If you are in the 901 over the next month or so, come check out some of our very fine gardens.

xAI bullied its way into one of the oldest Black communities in the country. The needs and voices of the community have long been overheard. The residents do not want this center polluting the air and water in their neighborhood.
Please consider adding your voice in support of theirs.

I went to look up "abort" because I was wondering something and the difference between the Oxford Reference and the Oxford Learners entries raises questions.
Even more troubling is that the OED version is inaccessible unless I register for an account.

Wisteria bloom.

Wisteria season. Making life sneezy but it is striking in its way. Something about it reminds me of rock and roll hair but that could just be me.

It's trig season. 😆

Alt text messed up, it's a 4 leaf clover with a spot of primer on it.

Spotted along the way, looks like I left it a little spotted.

A pretty fantastic scene, if I do say so myself. #mural

Various hues of hyacinth in bloom.

Pink hyacinths

Midnight purple hyacinths.

Some signs of spring along the way.
It's too windy to get the peach blossoms but they are quite elegant.

Sam talks about how great of a learning experience it is to grow from seed to food.

Tesla's biggest shareholders are Musk, Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street. They all used the vastly over valued stock to buy up whatever else they can and really, really don't want TSLA to tank.

A large greenhouse with two men inside working on digging holes while Ms. Lockard, the owner looks on. They are telling farming stories along the way.

Farmer Debra Lockard and friends discuss digging holes for tomatoes at her urban farm. We made a video about starting plants from seeds for a community garden organization. Feels like the start of something extra rad.

There is massive waste in the federal government. We have the information available for all to see.

Also, make it clear as day to those districts where reps are closing town halls what representation should look like.

@repcohen.bsky.social Those of you standing up and speaking out and trying to identify how to lead the movement should do what you should have done and go and listen to your constituents. Spend time with the communities and rebuilding relationships. The people are your leadership.

It's a crowd pleasing movement with Tom Skeemask in the house.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Does your hardware store carry both Thin Mints and antibiotics?

It's an action of inaction that gets straight to the point.

Sunset at Riverside Marina, Memphis, TN. Most of the place is still trashed from the drought in 2021 but there are signs of how nice it was before then.

@mcfadden.bsky.social Wanna make a snazzy We won't fly without DEI flyer?

Don't book any flights and let your congresspeople know you are not until it's fixed and the air traffic controllers are satisfied. It's a highly effective action we can do by not doing that gets right to the point of it.
