Prairie is among the most destroyed habitats on this continent, and this is one of its markers.
Everything you can see of it is built to be burned off.
The taproot goes fifteen feet down into ground nobody has broken since before there was a state there. Some live close to a century.
What's the one you'd put in the ground knowing you won't see it finished?

So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.
Bi socair — be still.
What are you growing that won't pay off for years?

An attorney with a license to protect, a byline, and a working client list filed the first lawsuit anyone has ever brought to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Against the Justice Department. Alone.
Judge Emmet Sullivan sided with her. Ordered the department to unredact key documents and publish a redaction log, and then declined to pause his own order so the government could appeal. #Epstein #Journalism #PressFreedom #Accountability #Law #Courts #News #USPolitics #FOIA

Today, I just read that the #AfD bitch Weidel is a #Lesbian, with two kids, raising her kids in a queer household with a wife, and yet believes that a house should have a father and mother, that Germans are far more superior to other people, and that she is so far right fuck nuts crazy, that she might be #Hitler reincarnated or something.

— the first same-sex civil marriage on the books in Bolivia.
Article 63 still says a woman and a man. This was won case by case, not by statute.
David Aruquipa, whose own union was the 2020 ruling that made dozens of later registrations possible, refused to let last week be called a beginning. He called it a continuity.

Hawthorn Berry - A spoonful stirred into warm water, the sweet-sour tang settling at the back of the tongue, is an old way of taking a berry herbalists have long turned to for the heart. Hawthorn can interact with heart medications so talk to your doctor before making it a habit, and skip it in pregnancy. #Herbalism #Pagan #Homeopathic https://thistleandmoss.com/p/they-know-better-the-cock-weasels-seized-press-badges-sacrificed-trans-kids-a-hostage-car-and-a-demo#the-nurturing-food-as-medicine?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica

And take the warning as seriously as the remedy: same family as aspirin, so if aspirin's off the table for you, so is this. Blood thinners, pregnancy, a child with a fever — no. Ask your pharmacist. She'd rather you asked than didn't.

Cassidy, whom everybody had penciled in as the last adult in the room, announced Friday he was a yes — days after Blanche quietly rescinded a $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund pointed at Trump allies and January 6 defendants. A number priced like a novelty flag magnet, because these people cannot resist a bit even while handing out public money.

Here's what they had on the table instead.
Nonfarm payrolls fell by 23,000 in July against a forecast of an 83,000 gain. The prior two months revised down by a combined 103,000. Participation at 61.4%, lowest in more than five years. The unemployment rate ticked down mostly because people stopped looking.
1.8 million people jobless twenty-seven weeks or longer. That's a quarter of everyone unemployed.
They stayed up past four in the morning for the lawyer, and went home for the groceries.

Raw they're bitter — quinolizidine alkaloids, days of soaking and rinsing — so buy them brined, rinse them, pop them out of their skins, and hit them with olive oil, lemon and far more black pepper than feels reasonable.
Two cautions I won't bury: lupin is a recognized allergen with real cross-reactivity to peanut, so if peanuts are a problem in your house then this is too. And the ornamental lupines in the flower bed are a different species and genuinely toxic.

Today's issue:
3 stories, Many sources read, 3 hours, and zero ad networks. I could use them, but I dont want to.
The #Blanche transcript got pulled and read against his confirmation answers, because "he said it on television" isn't real enough. The #GLAAD number got checked against the study itself, because I wanted to be damn sure. #Journalism #IndependentMedia #Media #NoAI #MutualAid #Solidarity #QueerNews #LGBTQ #TransRights #Fediverse #Community #Politics

124 land defenders killed in 2025. 43% Indigenous. 85% in Latin America. Colombia 39, fourth year running.
Same calendar year: global development aid fell 23%, the steepest drop ever recorded, and Colombia's human rights office let nearly half its staff go.

The reporting: CNN counted nearly 80% of the THAAD interceptor inventory expended and roughly half the Patriots. Reuters says the Army burned virtually all of ATACMS and PrSM. The Payne Institute counted almost 11,300 munitions in sixteen days
