Antifascist, anti-covid, anarchist, AuDHD. Queer and non-binary, she/they. A country house with too much going on: 3 adults and a kid, a garden and orchard, a donkey and a mare, chickens, house rabbits and guinea pigs and even a cat too. Living at the tip of the Kitsap Peninsula in the PNW, thank you to the Suquamish people who lived here before us.

nostr:npub1keqnh8qre8070vww72hj5r2hvy4sg4znrvj4d309vw569zywu6nsxtwkz2 one time I got one afternoon’s worth of (good!) instruction on a dirt bike, just enough to wobble around a low speed course in first and second, and I feel the same way about motorcycles. This is intuitive?! I guess if I got a lot more practice, but for now I think I’ll just stall out again 😂

nostr:npub1keqnh8qre8070vww72hj5r2hvy4sg4znrvj4d309vw569zywu6nsxtwkz2 ahhh *a switch,* yes, thank!! And you have to just match the revs and shove it into gear? (God that even sounds pornographic)

nostr:npub1eyk5ayndqmzh05hyt55qjdzmjqzm5fveayesknejz6cxrdgtuc8qgjhpk4 oh, Summer, you’re not missing anything. Hospitals are no fun, and he’ll be back soon.

nostr:npub1y9v3d47p39rga8zmuxskg3n9l63s0s288xfnalnprpre7gtt75gqtft45y I fed the zoo, moved some potted plants around, and mulched around the little hazels. Took a 💨break and now I’m almost caught up on my timeline and the Clean Laundry Monster is waiting for me.

nostr:npub1keqnh8qre8070vww72hj5r2hvy4sg4znrvj4d309vw569zywu6nsxtwkz2 ok, tell me about your land, please! How far are you from the North Platte? What does it look like up there? Is it wide and shallow with trees on the banks, or does it have a deep channel?

I’m so rooted here now, I don’t know if I’ll ever get to see the northern Great Plains, so please, tell me about them!

nostr:npub1ugly4qdf0h323qvmepxa2msemal32h6en5u43gr7llfmuksmrfaqtkyvd7 is it really a southern forest if it doesn’t have a rusted mysterious 55 gallon drum or two?

nostr:npub1eqshgnecgezx4eqdnwgtj9jaq0zdmn5x3ecdjvxrv9vx6j2nk5css35dh6 yeah, it’s per instance. Kolektiva is my very first server, and it’s got a delightful 10k character limit. We’re anarchists! Nobody tells us when to stop typing 😂

In your climate I would harvest the ripe ones earlier and cure them in sunshine (if safe from frosts) for a couple of weeks before storing.

I’m doing drip irrigation so the plants don’t care, but the ground isn’t soggy and we’re only getting light rains right now. It’s perfect weather for things to ripen slowly on the vines. I might even get ripe melons!

nostr:npub1ugly4qdf0h323qvmepxa2msemal32h6en5u43gr7llfmuksmrfaqtkyvd7 “maybe if I plant enough different kinds of things, there will be something for us to survive on during the hunger years” is my thinking. Our neighborhood has some open lots only half overrun by blackberries and I’m hoping the neighbors will want to make it a communal thing next year.

nostr:npub1zt30rymrqvm3vtdxq4wnknpsy6arkzcttkehwqttympk7ww7ezfqqg0v09 I didn't know that about Boulder Creek, but I guess it makes sense. It's surprisingly white and non-Hispanic.

Don't you have to disclose something as important as not having a septic tank?

nostr:npub1h67sgsdmw973xd57e68r9x45tas69rcnr65xpa0tqcskn8dgpmaqefvwx3 oh - a couple of my friends in cabins checked their deeds and they actually had whites-only language in the original documents. The interracial couple found it particularly grimly funny.
