New chapter just added to my "autobiography" foodfarmsdemocracy.net/the-last-three… For the moment, I'm leaving it as a stand-alone blog, until I finalize wordsmithing, etc. Covers the years 2019-2022 (up until the present).

I believe that an analysis of the synthetic sex identity supply chain will create a larger context for public discussion -- the environment that affects us all (not just patients & health professionals). Any researcher already working on this?

First widespread frost for the outlying Chicago metro area last night. Average first frost for Chicago area including #EvanstonIL was traditionally Oct. 16 during my gardening career (1980-2005). May be later now (global warming).

@jk_rowling @ninapaley @Tachardiella @TheRealFarRigh1 @JamesEsses @GPair10 As spiritual teacher Martin Prechtel (New Mexico, US) points out, such people are dangerous to everyone, including themselves. "To truly and freely grieve as an entire people can revive an entire culture just as much as it can bring back to life an individual." Also:

@Tachardiella @TheRealFarRigh1 @JamesEsses @GPair10 People who believe their tribe could never, under any circumstances, make a mistake, are dangerous.

I say this as someone who's been on the liberal left all her adult life: own goals don't come any more spectacular than 'if you care about child safeguarding you must be right wing.'

My latest version of #WomensPublicAuthority as modeled on Native American traditions foodfarmsdemocracy.net/womens-public-…

Debbie Hillman -- Food + Farms + Democracy@DLHillman·8 Eki

Another version of what I call #WomensPublicAuthority this in UK. "It is particularly important that women in deprived communities have the opportunity to come together. Public spaces which enable women to do so are essential." Congrats to Julie, legal team, & all women.

Relates to this Native American wisdom about the connection between our LIBERTY and the "automatic" RENEWABILITY of life. Think how unfree astronauts in space really are.

Some boaters got caught in the weather shift yesterday & capsized. #EvanstonIL firefighters and Northwestern Sailing Center made a successful rescue of all eight. No hospitalizations. Nice story & interview of firefighters in local media by Richard Cahan evanstonroundtable.com/2022/10/07/eig…

Looked out the window to see the sky clouding over here in #EvanstonIL For a minute I thought it was snowing! But no, it was just the wind shaking loose the yellow hackberry leaves.

NWS Chicago@NWSChicago

A strong cold front is sweeping through this mid to late afternoon. Scattered showers along the front will traverse the area. There have been a couple brief thunderstorms, so cannot rule that out through sunset. Wind gusts behind the front will gust to 25-30 mph. #ILwx #INwx

Long but very readable thread about Illinois bail reform. Based on misinformation, one "Democratic" Senator is trying to gut IL's reform. @SenatorFine I hope you're not buying this propaganda.

Scott Hechinger@ScottHech

This is a story about how misinformation spreads. In Illinois, a rightwing for-profit mass delivered fake papers. Filled w/ lies. Racist mugshots. Of Black men w/ ominous headlines on bail reform. Then: Legitimate outlets amplified the lies. Now: Dems may end bail reform. More:
