I'm not 100% sure but I think it's liverwort https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverwort

Oh hell yeah. Composting rules.

Yes, exactly. Protests are an outreach and organizing tool, not something that by itself causes change.

You are more advanced than us! We have just a large planter full of rocks with enough water for a solar powered pump to keep it circulating. It stops at night but generally keeps it pretty fresh.

We just top it up when the level gets too low for the pump, and empty it in the winter (which lets the rocks dry off and clean up over winter too).

Unsolicited advice disguised as a question.incoming: is your relationship with these young people such that you have to listen?

I do mentorship (which is actually very perplexing that they want me to do this lol) and it takes so much energy that I have to really space it out but other than that I mostly kinda just let them do their own thing and don't pay much mind unless asked to 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have observed that sometimes old people don't understand their opinion is unwanted.

I'm approaching old. I need to remind myself that I don't understand the struggles the youth have these days. I had it hard, sure, but their struggles and worries are not the same as mine. It's a different world.

So unsolicited advice + thinking the kids are doing it wrong is an easy path to mean/angry.

It's beautiful! We have a similar set up and the birds love it.

They don't teach QC French in canadian schools tho. That's how the anglos get clocked so easily.

Worst shame I felt in my life was trying to check into a hotel in QC, QC in French and the rely being "ID and credit card please." 😭

(But for Montreal when they say Bonjour/Hi they are trying to ask what language you want to be spoken to so it's totally okay to say hi if you are Anglo don't make it more confusing by replying bonjour lol)

Canadian authorities have returned more than 1,600 asylum seekers to the United States in 2025 without hearing their case for refugee protection, according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Many have landed in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

 

Specially curated jams for a pleasing gardening experience

 

My weeding practice in raised beds is as follows: do a big weeding before planting things, leave things the fuck alone until what you planted is big enough to not injure or mistake for a weed, do another big weeding, try and keep on top of it so it never gets out of control until the planted items take over and wedding isn't really required, just pull the things that are flowering.

Even with the above I still try to have a light hand and not go tilling or pulling everything up and disturbing the soil.

Today I pulled up what looks like the fruiting body of dead man finger fungus. I probably killed those ones but because I caught it so early I am able to notice and be careful around the other fruiting body I found. Hopefully I'll be rewarded but a show put on by this creepy friend!
