"Buy Canadian" is about Canada's political survival in a world where technocrats and billionaires don’t give a fuck about you.

If YOU want to buy ESTABLISHED PLANTS so you have a plug-&-play garden with less of a learning curve, then go you!

You buy that shit, man! Plant those plants!

Insta-food-garden? Fuck, yeah!

Don't you let ANYONE shame you for taking shortcuts that get you planting & growing your food. However you get that hobby started, let it empower you!

These "plant seeds, not seedlings" people are HARMING the grow-your-own-food culture.

Whatever gets you gardening is a beautiful thing. Just grow it.

@jimcarroll who needs snowpacks in an ever-hottening world consumed by summer fire, anyhow?

@cmdr_nova @lowqualityfacts wow! You’re a spectacular asshat who apparently doesn’t understand English.

He supports Biden. He thinks criticisms are warranted, and yet will vote Biden.

You, on the other hand, seem to support stupidity and crassness. I’ll block you. Have a great day.

This is slavery. This is not rehabilitation.

It is slavery. It is inhumane. It is despicable.

You need to read this.

“How large is it?”

“Well, sir, I’ll put it to you in relatable terms — it has the girth of 64 Canadian geese.”

“THAT BIG?”

“Indeed. Perhaps — I say this cautiously — as many as 68.”

“Alert the media.”

@emilygorcenski have you turned it off under “accessibility” as well? Sometimes folks overlook that one. At the very bottom of that page.

It’s frustrating. I don’t mind it too much, but I often adjust it manually. I wish it were smarter.

@BlackAzizAnansi it staggers me that publishing has been fucked over by Facebook so hard in the last decade yet they’re lining up for more betrayal.

@jimcarroll I've been online since BBSes of 1986, and on the web since 1996. 1200 baud modems were the big big news when I first started!

Tried my hand at a new curry but I think I missed the mark on the recipe by not caramelizing the onions enough, and the tomato is probably wrong too, as it wasn’t ripe because hey, it’s February.

But it’s still nice!

Pistachio & yogurt chicken curry. Huzzah. #cooking #food

Apparently John Fogerty was finally able to purchase the whole CCR catalogue, that others have owned for the last 50 years. Finally owns his own music.

CCR is one of the rare bands I can associate with my childhood. And so many movies I love too. And roadtripping.

But my favourite CCR memory was sitting down to a bowl of green curry in a restaurant on stilts over the Mekong River in Northern Thailand when “Run Through the Jungle” played over the speakers. #photography #travel

Vancouver Island is the gift that keeps giving. On my drive home tonight. Maple Bay, BC.

I baked some biscuits since I did such a bad-ass hike today. A girl needs carbs with soup!

#BakingTip: Never twist when cutting biscuits — cut straight down & out; Square biscuits are easier to do well.

Never touch the sides or they flop over because you seal the layers.

Baking them on a pizza stone creates incredible caramelized crust.

I added cheese, but don’t add too much or it seals the sides/flops over or prevents max height.
