This is awesome! Love seeing the younger generations getting involved and that your SO lost his mind when he found out lol.

So glad you chose solarpunk as your home on the fediverse :) It was a big reason I chose this instance and I’m happy to be part of the team!

60 minutes interviewed the photojournalist Philip Holsinger. He says as much when discussing the pictures of them bound, shaved and wearing all white.

Look out for seed or plant swaps in your area. Gardeners are usually very willing to share lol. As for specifics, it would depend where you are in the world.

I love Wild Geranium! The leaves just started emerging here in the Mid-Atlantic (with some violets waking up in the periphery):

After planting these last spring, I found Carolina Geranium growing in a sidewalk crack a few feet away 😆

Lime meringue sounds delicious 🤤 I don’t mind the bean taste too much, but I mostly use it as a baked sweet potato topping.

No, just a fan! I found out about them recently through another channel I follow, Black Liberation Media. One of the hosts of the main Red Nation podcast, Nick Estes, has been on Democracy Now! quite a few times.

The same! Though this conversation is focused through the lens of settler colonialism and discussed by Indigenous leftists.

The newest episode in the series covers the Heaven’s Gate cult from a similar perspective.

I don’t think so, unfortunately.

They don’t want most of the crap people plant trying to be Eco friendly anyways or so the landscape architect told me.

Keystone Plants by Ecoregion

The research of entomologist, Dr. Doug Tallamy, and his team at the University of Delaware have identified 14% of native plants (the keystones) support 90% of butterfly and moth lepidoptera species. The research of horticulturist Jarrod Fowler has shown that 15% to 60% of North American native bee species are pollen specialists who only eat pollen from 40% of native plants.
