I just spent half an hour looking up gardening resources and staring at pictures of gardens on IG. Gonna transplant some lantana now.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, posting a salient history from Timothy W. Kneeland and @cornellupress.bsky.social#skystorianswww.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...
Hurricane Agnes struck the United States in June of 1972, just months before a pivotal election and at the dawn of the deindustrialization period across the Northeast. The response by local, state,...
Not a thing... except that diverting resources from care to policing is a politically 'safe' move.
“Fanon’s critical therapy speaks to the recent care-ethical turn of the contemporary organized left, whilst maintaining a structural critique of the aetiology and treatment of mental illness.”
