This won't work for all flowers, but some seeds will still ripen off the bush. You could try cutting just some of the spent blooms, maybe with a bit more stem or even some supporting leaves, but I don't know if that matters. Pile them somewhere nearby/accessible to birds and just check back in a couple weeks to see if they ripened on their own. Weeds do it all the time and some native plants, like aster, evening primrose, or mustard families may do the same.

Thank you for reading the article and using your brain.

Yeah. If he was hoping for approval from left and center. Big if

Yeah, my kid's like "sounds like a normal day", but I think concentrating everyone's best effort on one day is a good idea.

"shifts its approach" sounds so cool and methodical

I don't know anything about this guy, but from your chart the whole libertarian half looks pretty weak. The portrait doesn't need to be in the middle in this meme.

Dude, I thought they meant people who shared the same name and I didn't even think it was too stupid to be true.

God, that article is just one long list of totally avoidable disasters, for people all over the world and for US future diplomacy. All to save some undetermined fraction of 1% of the budget and stop imaginary condom distribution. The ends are stupid and the means are worse.

I'm not sure what specifically is meant by phonics. My grandma taught first grade for 30 years, ending around 2000. She said when phonics came in "that's just teaching reading" and when phonics went out "well, obviously we still have to teach how the alphabet works" and when phonics came in again "eye roll". So, whatever the school leadership says, my guess is kids are learning phonics.

Here is the quote, I had to click through a couple links to get to it, really they need to be putting his quotes front and center because by paraphrasing they make him sound more nuanced and reasonable than he is.

"The FAA diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities. That is amazing," Trump said, claiming the FAA wanted people "with severe disabilities, the most underrepresented segment of the workforce, and they want them in and they want them - they can be air traffic controllers." Asked how he could blame diversity, equity and inclusion hiring for the crash, Trump said, "because I have common sense.”

About the iconography, our flag, etc. I agree with you, but if you use them it is very important to be clear and specific in whatever else the poster says, because vague statements can be very easily misread and those symbols by themselves will likely give comfort/anxiety to the wrong people. You can't just wave an American flag and say "resist fascism" or "preserve women's rights" or "protect children" or something like that, because those phrases mean different things to different people, and the color of the flag has been a useful way to know at a glance what the speaker intends.

From what I can see in conversations with Trump voters, it's the specifics that give them pause -- did I really vote for that? So, pick some particular action to respond to, or several in separate posters. There are so many to choose from.

Weird: this is Safeway, Canada
