@levelbot FINALLY

@EricCarroll ooh, that's cool.

@killyourfm I think that's right.

@hkrn OK, somebody start the lettuce timer.

@danhon monster

@austinha I don't know!

I'm doing my first indoor germination this Northern spring. A dozen different sets of #NativePlants seeds, from Jerusalem artichokes to smooth aster to monarda fistulosa to pearly everlasting. They're going to live inside the house for about 6 weeks, and then harden off and move into the garden. It's exciting work! #gardening

@nantel ok!

It's also important to note that many indigenous communities consider their language a cultural treasure, and are not open to outsiders learning. Definitely use native-created materials and native-led courses if you are going to try to learn.

Indigenous languages of North America can be very different in structure and vocabulary from European languages like English and French. I found the experience extremely challenging, and really rewarding. If your local indigenous community has language classes available to non-native people, I really recommend it.

This is interesting. I think I'm 26-50%. Thanks to everyone who responded.

I studied the indigenous language of the region our house is in, Abenaki, at the Ndakinna Education Centre. Learning the indigenous language of our region lets settlers like me help keep the language alive; it also subsidizes classes for indigenous speakers.

@PDFlynn that was amazing. Broke the records. Came through with class. Thanked the Senate staff for staying up all night with him. This was a good move.

@carnage4life 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@PDFlynn he's still going!

@NotImpressed it's a strange system.

@NotImpressed @palestine

"In a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announces his resignation as a cabinet minister and his resumption of his seat as a member of Knesset for his far right Religious Zionism party, before being reappointed to his ministerial roles."

It looks like it was a parliamentary maneuver to push someone out of a seat.
