new server, new #Introduction! Hi, Iβm Kate. I live in #spokane, WA, which is my hometown. As a teenager I moved to Germany and spent about 12 years there, in Hamburg and Berlin. All my formal education was in urban planning and design, but I also did a lot of neighborhood-based organizing for housing justice and against fascism. These days Iβve somehow ended up as a full-time community organizer assisting communities that are dealing with all the consequences of white nationalism in the US.
Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.
# 37.
Bees are hairy for good reason.
When bees forage on flowers they automatically catch and collect fine pollen grains on the many hairs all over their bodies. This βefficiency by defaultβ makes them ideal pollinators.

Do you ever get a craving that demands you just grab different things and combine them? I do.
Sliced up a granny smith apple, but that wasn't quite it. Grabbed some unsalted butter from the fridge, put it in a pan, added some light brown sugar, some nutmeg, some ginger, some cinnamon. Threw in the apple slices and let them slowly cook in the combined mixture. Ah, vanilla ice cream. That's what I need for a base. Spoon the warm apples over the ice cream.
I guess I was craving apple pie a la mode.
I'm watching the BBC news, and my heart is breaking.
Warm clubs, care shops, food banks.
These terms should never be in the common vernacular in 21st century Britain.
I'm just so angry at the tories.
If youβre #newhere I highly recommend the mammoth app
I am the very model of a devotee of Mastodon.
The other social media, we wore it out and passed it on.
A man can kill a website but its lifeblood has immunity:
Weβll just come over here and reassemble the community.
So cultivate inclusive manners, promulgate your welcome mats,
Celebrate our freedom from the whims of random plutocrats.
The fediverse has first, no Musk, and next, no Ye, and last, no Don.
I am the very model of a devotee of Mastodon.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
