Lifeform Solidarity
Further to recent rumblings in the comments, I bring scenes of an immensely radical gardening project conjured into being in June 2020 by Seattle’s progressive-activist community:

More scenes of radical signage can be had here.
Footage of said radicalism, this wokeness that didn’t happen, is also available:

I know. You may want a moment to steady yourselves. What with all that deep political heft.
And because it bears repeating:

Readers who browse the comments of this blog – and by God, you should – will recall that Martha Lincoln, our associate professor, our fearless anthropologist – the one shutting down replies and retreating from any risk of correction – frames The Atlantic as right-wing.
For readers unfamiliar with this supposedly right-wing publication, allow me to share with you a few samples of its contents:
When women are oppressed by crumbs.
When women, especially black women, are oppressed by crossword puzzles.
When black women who thieve habitually are the real victims.
I could of course go on, but we’d be here all day.
And hey, in academia, all things are possible.
Dangerous meme.

[ Fridge-peering intensifies. ]

I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Are you listening?
Polyester.
There’s a great future in polyester. Think about it. Will you think about it?
You should be so lucky.
The return of the thin, White duke, throwing darts in lovers’ eyes . . .
This sort of lack of planning/preparedness is not uncommon.
Polyester Futures
The brothers split up after Marty’s repeated clashes with Lenny’s new Korean girlfriend, conceptual and performance artist Yoyo Oh. The excesses of fame drove Lenny to become a recluse for several years. They eventually married in a quiet ceremony in East Berlin. His reemergence came in a supporting role in his wife’s Polyester Yoyo Band, their first album being Polyester Futures. An otherwise ignored group noted only for the work of future Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman.
SHOULD I HAVE A RHUBARB AND GINGER GIN?
I need guidance.
No, David. You should have two. With lots of ice.
“Pecan Pie in a Jar” is a commercial product. I disclaim all knowledge of how it got into my pantry.
I mean, real pecan pie is one of the easiest pies to make from scratch, also, you can then make it less than teeth-hurtingly sweet like most commercial pies.
An enormous pot of chili is simmering as I type. Apple cider vinegar is the secret.
Violent career criminal. Never deported. If only Uncle Joe
StalinBiden knew….It’s Gimlet weather here, now.
Y’all hear about the aussie lady who was just arrested for capturing a burglar in her home?
Do it.
Ah, the wisdom of crowds.
WHY is David being forced to make HIMSELF a Rhubarb Gin? After all that labor in unendurable heat (and the resulting bad hair)?
Yes.
Soundtrack.
There’s a book about that.
By someone named Mackay I believe.
My next band will be a rowdy, Dr. Feelgood-inspired pub rock group called Pisscan Pie.
Heh.
As ye sow so shall ye reap.
Re the dangerous meme, not certain what to do with the image sent to me of a bottle of mature Scotch whisky, with the comment that this is one 12 year old a Muslim won’t touch. Can only assume it’s because alcohol is forbidden to that religion.
