“I am no Earthling,

I drink moonshine on Mars and mistake meteors for stars ‘cause I can't hold my liquor,

but I can hold my breath and ascend like wind to the black hole

and play galaxaphones on the fire escapes of your soul

blowing tunes through lunar wombs, impregnating stars,

giving birth to suns that darken the skins that skin our drums

and we be beating infinity over sacred hums,

spinning funk like myrrh until Jesus comes.”

Stropharia fruiting in the Chem 4 pot mulch layer. Stropharia rugosoannulata is a great and nonselective decomposer of woody organic matter that thrives as a garden and ganja companion. In the process, it off-gasses substantial amounts of carbon dioxide, feeds soil life, and can even trap and lyse pathogenic nematodes. And the fruiting bodies are delicious 😋 #livingsoil #chemdog #chem4 #strophariarugosoannulata #cannabis #companionplanting #dopeguild #mushlove #urbangardening #polyculture #oregon

Around flowering day 10. Culled two Forbidden Fruit x Black Lotus Kush males, leaving a big hole in the canopy. Individuals from slide 2 are Garlic Mints x Skunkband, Black Cherry Lotus (Cherry Chem x Black Lotus Kush), and Tangie Barrel (Sour Tangie x Lotus Barrel) from @staefli_farms and a couple Salmon River OG F3s from @aloe_icious #staeflifarms #tangiebarrel #blackcherrylotus #garlicmintsxskunkband #salmonriverogf3 #OMMP

The Sour Tangie x Lotus Barrel tri/quadcot seedling from @staefli_farms keeps producing these 11-bladed leaves with 7 normal blades and an additional 4 whorling from the petioles. Very vigorous and pretty, can’t wait to see the flowers. #staeflifarms #sourtangiexlotusbarrel #tangiebarrel #OMMP #morepicturesofleaves #doubledecker #whatdoesitallmean #probablynothing #curiosities

Tomato bed started late this year, so we put 9 plants in the 4x8’ bed instead of the usual 3. Vertical lines to the trellis around 6’ above the soil, with all the lowers removed. Varieties are Paul Robeson, San Marzano, Amish Paste, Nyagous, Japanese Black Trifele, Berkeley Tie Dye Pink, Cherokee Chocolate, and Momotaro. #tomatoes #growyourown #urbangardening #scrog #screenofgreen

A funky Salmon River OG F3 from @aloe_icious (original work by @dynastygenetics ). Less than half speed growth, wonky jagged cabbage leaves, branches that tightly hug the main stem, and leaves that bunch up vertically. Almost ogkb-like and nothing like her siblings. #salmonriverogf3 #mutantcannabis #funkysalmon #stinkmeat #OMMP

“In the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship—be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles—is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you.

On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams,

parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness. Worship power-you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over

others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart-you will end up feeling

stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on.

Look, the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they're evil or sinful; it is that they are unconscious. They are default-settings. They're the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that that's what you're doing. And the world will not discourage you from operating on your default-settings, because the world of men and money and power hums along quite nicely on the fuel of fear and contempt and frustration and craving and the worship of self... 👇

Repurposed an old fish tank as a meal worm tub and set up a new worm bin 🤗 mealworms are fun for the kids and great snacks for the ducks. Also going to see how the mealworms like some styrofoam after seeing that from @mycosymbiote Bedding for the worms is peat, crab, kelp, oyster, rice hulls, glacial rock dust, and static compost #wormcastings #earthwormcastings #wormbin #mealworms #homegrown #urbangardening #felonyflats

Elderflower liqueur with sour cherry pits. The almond flavor from the pits should match nicely. 1 L clear liquor, 1 L tightly packed elderflowers, about a half cup of cherry pits, and invert sugar.

Nice cloudy camp on the north side of Mt Hood. Lots of wildflowers and monotropa. Not much for mushrooms aside from some huge Ramaria. Harvested a bunch of elderflower from the clear cut, destined for liqueur. Stopped to pick cherries on the way home. #omht #mthood #wyeast #monotropa #ghostpipe #ramaria #coralmushroom #elderflower #sambucus #prunus #sourcherry #oregon

Yeah, I pledge allegiance, to the United States of America... I pledge an allegiance to see that someday they will live up to their promises, to the victims that they call citizens. #beneaththeunderdog #charlesmingus #thatjazz #murica #staeflifarms #pinkdrink

The tragedy in life is that man is never free, yet strives for what can never be.

The thing most feared in secret always happens: my life, my loves, where are they now?

But the more the pain grows, the more this instinct for life somehow asserts itself.

The necessary beauty in life is in giving yourself to it completely: only later will it clarify itself into something coherent
