Hey, #Witches, it's time to stop using #endangered #WhiteSage. Between white people appropriating like crazy, and CA wildfires killing the plants and their entire ecosystems, it's time this plant ceased being everyone's go-to for magickal work."... Due to the illegal over-harvesting of Saliva apiana in recent years in combination with increased, devastating wild fires on White Sage lands in Southern California, concern for the commercialized harvesting and distribution of White Sage grows as the wild populations of this species shrink in size. Many Native American communities are requesting at this time that non-native peoples stop harvesting this plant from the wild altogether. As Native Americans have been the caretakers of this plant and the lands it grows on for countless generations, it is important that everyone respect and honor their request."https://aromaticmedicineschool.com/a-distress-call-from-the-sacred-white-sage-plant/

@lain I went to UC Santa Cruz in the 1980s, and watched many people attempt to prove your theory, to no avail.

I scritched Princess Leia's butt just right when I was over my elderly folks' house yesterday, and she wiggled so much she almost pitched head-first off the couch. My mom was perfectly entertained. #mastodogs

This is a straightforward illustration of what happens when business runs the world. #FightCapitalismPRICE CHANGES IN US GOODS, SERVICES AND WAGES FROM 1997 - 2017

Just before 8am today, I got a text alert that the #5 was rerouted off #Greenwood Ave N between 130th and 145th. At 10:35, it pinged again saying the bus was still rerouted.I went to the #Seattle Fire Dept blotter, and guess what..., it's A NATURAL GAS LEAK. Yes, this is the second leak in as many weeks in a neighborhood that has had two past building explosions from leaking gas in the last few years.

@publius When I lived in San Francisco in the 1990s, I got to see a 4-story apt building exploded from a gas leak and a single-family home totally detonated from being an illegal M-80 fireworks factory.Nuclear power plant meltdowns are worse.

If you are in #Seattle, I am teaching a free workshop on how to grow your own #saffron at the HandsOn Skill Fair on February 8th at 10am.I don't mind at all that my teaching slot is in the first batch of the day, as that then sets me up to present and then attend whatever I want for the rest of the day.

@pkla_sarracenia search #saffron here, my October 2019 harvest pretty much owns the topic.

@ajdunevent The blossoms last for about a day before shriveling, and growing for spice means you behead the flowers before they open, so it's really a bad candidate as an ornamental.

The rain is pelting down on the house super hard right now and it's even sounded like there might be a hint of thunder, so I went and looked at the weather radar. We're gonna be clobbered with rain for a bit. Even by our standards. Little blue arrow is approx where I am. #Seattle

@salixlucida I wish Green Lake could overflow but the huge drain built into the lake can deal with this level of rain.Green Lake was originally about 100 acres larger than it is now, and two fresh water springs in Licton Springs used to feed it. To let it rewild back to that would be fantastic.

I got out in the backyard early enough this year to spy the #PinkHyacinth before it blooms. #florespondence

When I present on #saffron, I don't print handouts, I share three QR codes at the end.The first QR code leads to a Google Doc archive including a multi-ethnic recipe list, articles on history, agricultural notes and some industry PDFs.The second QR code leads to a curated YouTube playlist of videos about growing saffron. None of those videos are mine, they are resources from which I have learned.The third QR code goes to a curated YouTube playlist of saffron cooking videos. Again, not my vidoes, but resources I have noted.

@laggard People who poison the environment, won't break down and can't be gotten rid of are still trash.

@artsyhonker Once I read this take on how #MBTI classifies you for #capitalism, I can't see it any other way. I too am an ambivert.https://forge.medium.com/the-capitalist-origins-of-the-myers-briggs-personality-test-309187757d4e
