“Dedicated to bigots everywhere: Ladies and gentlemen of the black shirts, I call upon you to unite, to strike with claws and kitchen pokers, to burn the grub-worms of equality’s brood with sulfur and oil, to huddle together whispering about the silverfish in your basements, to make decrees in your great solemn rotten assemblies concerning what is proper, for you have nothing to lose but your last feeble principles.” #williamvollmann #youbrightandrisenangels #clutchthosepearls

Brewed the annual lambic, this year with pils malt, golden naked oats, and flaked oats and a handful of yard hops from last summer. Now a year in the cellar before fruit addition. #lambic #lambish #homebrew #mixedfermentation #sourbeer #krausen #stupefactants #liquidsunshine

A couple more sourdough loaves, much improved this time around eh @hunter.thebaker? Such a fun process. Thanks to @quartet1977 for the starter and the delicious flour #sourdough #mixedfermentation #packedwithgluten

A year later 🥃 #umeshu #plumwine

Put up some umeshu/plum wine (a cordial/liqueur) using fruit from the neighborhood flowering plum street trees. The trees make cherry-sized or slightly larger fruits that aren’t great fresh eating but make exquisite plum wine. 650 g unripe plums, 400 g rock/candy sugar, liquor to cover, and the spiciest spice, time ✨#umeshu #plumwine #plumgetdumb #stupefactants #liquidsunshine #cookingrocks #slablife #gleaning #hooch

“Portland is a place where rich ones run away to settle down and grow flowers and shrubbery to hide them from the massacres they’ve caused. Portland is the rose garden town where the red, brown, blackshirt cops ride up and down to show you their finest horses and saddles and gunmetal. Mentally, Portland is the deadest spot you ever walked through.” #woodyguthrie #shrubbery #massacres #thismachinekillsfascists #thedeadestspot #nfa 💀⚡️🥀

Natural Black morels (Morchella snyderi) on a gorgeous day in the mountains with @house_hapsburg 🙏💚 #morchellasnyderi #naturalblackmorel #morels #fungi #forestbathing #wyeast #allthattherainpromisesandmore

Incense bamboo (Phyllostachys atrovaginata) shooting new culms. This one produces a wax on the surface that smells like sandalwood. It gets big (~2.75” diameter and 35-40’), the culm sheaths are an attractive dark green and wine red (hence atrovaginata=dark sheathed), and it has air canals in its rhizomes as an adaptation for wet soil. Also supposedly good eating, though ours isn’t yet established enough to harvest. Originally from the amazing Bamboo Garden in North Plains. #phyllostachysatrovaginata #incensebamboo #sandalwoodterps #waxingandmilking #keepculm #aromatherapy #rootedchimes #clicketyclack

Took a beautiful walk along the Sandy and gathered some horsetail for the garden and oyster mushrooms for the grill. Sun-day was just that 💚 #pleurotusostreatus #oystermushrooms #equisetumarvense #horsetail #silica #foraging #oregon #pacificwonderland #forestbathing #allthattherainpromisesandmore

Recycled ♻️ yet again for Earth Day 🌏 “Although the surface of our planet is two-thirds water, we call it the Earth. We say we are earthlings, not waterlings. Our blood is closer to seawater than our bones to soil, but that's no matter. The sea is the cradle we all rocked out of, but it's to dust that we go. From the time that water invented us, we began to seek out dirt. The further we separate ourselves from the dirt, the further we separate ourselves from ourselves. Alienation is a disease of the unsoiled.” 🌍
