@KFuentesGeorge @ScottSoCal I remember how people justified the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. Someone said the park/playground where Tamir was playing was in a bad neighborhood; another said the kid was 5'7" tall. (I guess they never heard of growth spurts among 8th graders.) There was no scrutiny aimed at the police officer in question, who washed out of the academy at a small-town police force before joining the Cleveland police force.
Theyβre playing 80βs hits in the local grocery stores.
Did you ever wonder "Why do some gay/trans/etc people have to be so LOUD about it?"
That? That was all for this moment. To make it harder to get rid of us without anybody noticing.
I'm under no illusions that the political situation for trans people is going to turn on a dime. Bad things may come. But I will promise that you're going to have to hear about it. I'm not planning on letting anyone pretend what's happening isn't happening.
Today I think I'll do compost updates instead of garden updates.
A few years ago I got this rotating composter as a birthday gift. According to the composting legend himself, Dick Kitto, this style is perfect for a small home garden, as it enables the frequent rotation necessary for adequate oxygen.
I eat mostly plant based, so pretty much all of my scraps and abandoned leftovers can be composted easily, with the exception of banana peels and corn husks. My compost consists mostly of vegetable and fruit scraps, coffee grounds & filters, eggshells and bits of paper/cardboard. I also mix in used soil from previous container crops.
Yesterday I realized the compost had gotten very warm and everything has been breaking down very quickly with significant insect activity, so I threw in some used dirt. Today the temperature and insect activity have dropped a bit, but I expect them to recover quickly. Ideal breakdown occurs at just over 120Β° F. Maintaining high temperature breaks down weed seeds from yard scraps and creates an environment harmful to plant pathogens.
When this side of the composter is full enough and broken down enough, it will get mixed in to the patch of garden where the pumpkins will be transplanted. Should take a few more weeks for both the pumpkins and compost to be ready.
or be impeached ... im surprised garland has not appointed yet a special investigator ...
That's the part of Pascal's Wager that's always bothered me. He posited that you lose nothing by accepting the church's dogma. No, you lose the opportunity for the life you would have had, without it.

Good. No terrorist nations should be allowed.
I believe they picked him up to be a pawn, and they'll want to trade him for someone else. Same as they did with Griner.
Russia uses its courts to silence critics, and now prosecutes about 50 espionage cases a year, almost all of which end in a guilty verdict.
Now they are holding an American, my colleague Evan Gershkovitz, and have refused to grant bail.
Evan is allowed out of his cell only once a day.
He will not get a public jury trial.
I still love that song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozv8ugNm0P0
