@B04014076 @ChrisPalmerMD “They” told me that my life would always be “less than.” That I should lower my life expectations. That my illnesses were treatment resistant. They weren’t. They just responded to a different treatment.

@PermaculOrchard That's it! I need to find someone nearby with some established asparagus and see if I can barter or buy a few root pieces. I'd rather get something that's already established in the climate than buy online - and asparagus is my all time favorite vegetable.

Propagating Asparagus. Impressive roots. Bring strong tools.

I strongly suspect some of us were not designed for modern life… We were meant to live in crooked little cottages, speak to birds, dry herbs from ceiling beams, and dramatically stare out of rainy windows whilst soup bubbled nearby! Instead…there are emails to be sent.

🚨ALERT: Californians......These Gila Monsters are everywhere in Arizona and are extremely dangerous. It is not safe for Californians here! If you must move, move to New York, there's nothing there that will hurt you...

@SteveAdamsSoil @DaysofNoahGen6 But I can chop and drop the tepary once they’ve spent themselves and that ought to help. And of course, the high nitrogen rabbit and goat manure will be beneficial, plus legume-based compost teas.

@SteveAdamsSoil @DaysofNoahGen6 One of the big problems that I have is an absolutely astronomical abundance of silver nightshade, disturbing the soil just spreads the rhizomes. It’s an extra headache for sure. I have a suspicion that sheet mulch and wood chips are going to be some of my best friends.

Can anyone else relate to these 3 common problems with metal raised beds? I can! credit: theplanttechie

Excellent. I have around 2.5 acres of alluvial soil, VERY low nitrogen, low to no organic matter. Appears to be virgin or very long fallow. Arizona high desert. Planting a cover of tepary beans soon and am working on getting compost going. We just moved in Jan. My goats and soon to be added rabbits will help too! Ducks & chickens come in fall, I hope.

@Phrick @DaysofNoahGen6 We will have tools available soon that will greatly help you with accelerating your soil restoration. twitter.com/SteveAdamsSoil…

@NancyH_60 @PecanC8 I was born in 78. My mom kept snacks around, but she was a SAHM. We had to ask for snacks, & we spent more time outdoors than in. I didn’t gain weight till I moved out. My husband, 1974, was a latchkey kid. He had no oversight & snacked endlessly. He was obese by middle school.

Why the 1970s Way of Eating Hit Different – And Why I Can’t Stop Thinking About It I ran across this TikTok video the other day and it genuinely stopped me in my tracks. It was all about how Americans in the 1970s stayed naturally thinner—not because of better genetics or iron willpower, but because the whole food environment was completely different. Meals had real boundaries. You ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner at set times, and that was pretty much it. Snacking wasn’t the constant background noise it is today. As someone who actually grew up in that era, it rang so true. We didn’t have endless cabinets full of brightly packaged snacks calling our names. You ate when it was mealtime, portions were reasonable (a hamburger was hamburger-sized, fries came in actual small bags), and the kitchen pretty much closed after dinner cleanup. No grazing all day long, no supersized everything, no ultra-processed options lurking everywhere. Meals were smaller, more proportionate, and made from basic ingredients—fresh or simply prepared. It made me reflect: maybe we really do need to borrow a page from the 70s playbook. Go back to eating at specific times instead of all-day snacking. Choose normal, human-sized portions instead of the inflated ones we’ve gotten used to. Cut way back on the junk and focus on real food again. It felt healthier, more balanced, and honestly more sustainable than the constant diet culture we live in now. That video stuck with me because it wasn’t about shaming anyone—it was about remembering a simpler, more natural way of relating to food. I’m inspired to try bringing more of that 70s rhythm into my own life. Clear meal times, smaller plates, fewer processed snacks. It might just be the reset a lot of us need. Who else remembers eating this way and feels like it’s time to bring it back?

Your “fresh” produce is now coated in a Bill Gates-funded toxic film you CAN’T wash off. Apeel Sciences — bankrolled by Bill Gates — is spraying fruits and vegetables with a synthetic preservative that turns your grocery store haul into a chemical experiment. This invisible coating contains dangerous industrial solvents like ethyl acetate and heptane, both linked to serious organ damage and brain harm. It also hides “citric acid” derived from genetically modified mold that’s been tied to cancer risks. Shockingly, **99.34% of the ingredients are kept completely secret** from the public. Independent tests have even detected dangerous levels of heavy metals — lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury — embedded in the coating. Worst part? It’s been quietly approved for organic produce and requires ZERO labeling. You may be swallowing this poison every single day without knowing it. Your family’s health is being gambled with for longer shelf life.

@NoPrivacy16 @Sasanka_z_lasu @RianneTillytown @ValerieAnne1970 Mixing them creates just water and salt (sodium acetate). It weakens the cleaning power of each individual component. Avoiding the mix is wise unless you need the immediate bubbling action, like for cleaning a drain.

@Sasanka_z_lasu @RianneTillytown @ValerieAnne1970 Interesting. I will try that. I've always mixed them when I make a cleaning solution for a spray bottle.

@ValerieAnne1970 @NoPrivacy16 I soak produce & fruits in chlorine dioxide. Breaks down glyphosate. Doesn't work so well on Apeel, for that see below c/p from @CuriousOutlier chat when I asked.

@NoPrivacy16 Great idea! I do the same with soaking in baking soda water.

@mulberrytreeapp Thanks! We went with Huckleberry for the brown guy, Huck obviously for daily use. They both run from me with suspicion but it's only been 36 hours. Today, I and a pan of tasty, enticing grain will sit in there for as long as it takes to become friendly with Mssrs. Huck and Jett

@Phrick Aww adorable 🥰

New babies on the farm! Two new bucklings so I don’t have to find stud service. The black one is Jett. Still tossing around ideas for the other boy. Contenders so far include Hickory, Copper, and Malcom (the Browncoat). Our other animals are named out of shows or movies but it’s getting harder since I stopped watching TV ages ago. Open to suggestions! He has a black stripe down his back like a mohawk. If it’s out of a show there needs to be a lot of characters so that I have ample naming options for his offspring.

I yearn for social relations that aren't fraught with suspicion and defensiveness. Between men and women, gays and straights, blacks and whites, and any combination you can think of. That can't happen on social media, I know, but it's in real life, too. And it's heavy. Lately it feels very heavy. -J

@karar0se2008 @CrystalHope1979 Wow. Point out inconsistencies, get blocked. Turns out snowflakes exist in both parties I guess. I’m more insulted at being called liberal by a mush for brains bleeding heart lib-in-Trumpian-clothing. Yes, sweetpea, one of us needs meds… try this m.youtube.com/watch?v=R69gs4…

@karar0se2008 @CrystalHope1979 You are justifying it by making excuses for her, imagining all sorts of scenarios. Perhaps you don’t know the definition of justifying? Or perhaps you’re simply stupid. Your profile claims Trumpian… your defense of this theft tells a different story.

🚨 Can you identify this woman? Twice in the past two weeks, the honor-system sourdough farmstand Gone Astray Goods in Loveland, Colorado, has been targeted by the same woman. She was caught on surveillance video stealing fresh breads, jams, and oatmeal crème pies. Stephanie Courville—a hardworking pregnant mother who bakes artisan sourdough loaves, cinnamon rolls, and homemade treats from scratch each week to support her family—is heartbroken. This theft strikes directly at a small family business trying to earn an honest living. Stephanie already has identifying information on the woman and is actively pursuing leads, but she needs community help. If you recognize this woman or have any relevant video footage or details about similar thefts, please email Stephanie at hello@goneastraygoods.com. If you support family-run stands, please share this post widely to help identify her and prevent further incidents. Thank you for standing with hardworking local entrepreneurs. 💔 🍞

In April, a website that has been sued, blocked, deplatformed, and chased across thirty-seven domains over fifteen years quietly launched its own AI. Sci-Hub is the largest unauthorized library of scientific papers in human history. Ninety-five million academic papers. Tens of millions of books. Built and maintained by a single Kazakhstani neuroscientist named Alexandra Elbakyan since 2011, funded by donations, hosted on whatever country's registrar will tolerate it that year, mirrored across torrents and IPFS and Telegram bots. Elsevier sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. The American Chemical Society sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. India sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. Swedish registrar Njalla cut the .se domain in January. Sci-Hub stayed up at .al, .ru, .ee, .box, and a half-dozen .onion addresses the registrars cannot reach. Now the library has built its own intelligence. Sci-Bot launched in alpha in April. You ask it a research question. It answers, and it cites real papers from inside the corpus, with links that actually open the actual papers. The bot does not hallucinate citations. It cannot, because it only draws from papers it actually holds. The same property that the venture-funded labs have spent four years and forty billion dollars trying to engineer back into their products is a free side effect of training the model on a library that contains the books. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Meta have all been sued in the past eighteen months for training their models on the same shadow libraries that Sci-Hub assembled. Meanwhile the corpus those scripts were pointed at, the corpus those models were trained on, the corpus the entire generative AI industry is built on, sat right there the whole time, free, with a search box on top. The pirates beat them to it. Sci-Bot was built on a corpus that was already free, by a team that asked no permission, charging no one, with the explicit position that the right to read scientific research is older than the cartel that decided to charge for it. The same arithmetic the medieval guilds used to keep the printing trade in approved hands. The same arithmetic Pope Paul IV used in 1559 to publish the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The same arithmetic the Stationers' Company used in seventeenth-century London. Knowledge has always had a fence around it. The fence has always been guarded by men who did not write the books. The library answers. We never asked permission. We never had to.

@deanguzmanw @TomiLahren Where can I donate for your legal fees?

@TomiLahren We went to jail for them. They are so worth it. Thank you @TomiLahren for using your voice for them. Until they are all free 💙 🐾

Freed Ridglan beagle gets to be a real dog for the first time. THIS is why we fought and will keep fighting until every single one is safe and secure.

@ErickFarmer73 @CaryKelly11 That’s by far the most cost effective way to go. I got a very large bottle and keep it handy.

@CaryKelly11 Drinkable too

Ivermectin worked for me against COVID after Zinc Quercetin didn’t quite cut it. Just stocked up on some more horse paste because it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Link below.
