I am getting curious, what do you listen to when you garden or compost?

Today in Labor History January 12, 1876: Working class novelist Jack London was born. As a kid, he was an oyster pirate in Oakland, along the shores of the San Francisco Bay. As a young man, he became a hobo, riding the rails from town to town, looking for handouts and sometimes work. He wrote about these experiences in his short novel, “The Road.” He was also a lifelong alcoholic, which contributed to his early death. In his novel, “John Barleycorn,” he wrote about both his alcoholism and his experiences as a laborer in numerous low-paid, backbreaking jobs. He was also a socialist and a champion of unions and working-class activism. With respect to strikebreakers, he famously wrote: "After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a cork-screw soul, a water-logged brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles." London was also one of the first Haoles (non-Native Hawaiian, or white person) to learn how to surf in Hawaii.

I don't have a #cat, but I've heard quite often, that cats and christmas trees can be ... a challenge.

"Christmas Tree with a Naughty Cat" from #crochet #designer Tanya Pogosova from #Ukraine looks like a fun depiction of that problem.

This is the Burj Catifa with Beastly Frodo on top, being quite awful, whimpering with rage. His sister, Maggie, is looking up at him, wondering what his next outrageous behavior will be,

I built the Burj Catifa from old carpet rolls and a lot of hemp rope. It's 2,6 meters tall. The cats have been running up and down it for five years now and torn it up pretty well.

They love. They're very active at night and this is their favorite battlefield.

  1. Spoke to a friend on the phone. She is over 80 and likes a regular chat. She doesn't use a computer, so phone calls are important for her.
  2. Helped in the garden.
  3. The wind has died down at last.

Debate on #Twitter about Twitter:

Andrew Weissmann:

Q: is it time to call it quits at X/Tw? ..some valid reason not to- assuming you're a sane, fact-based person who blvs in rule of law, dignity, equality of all ppl?

Angry Staffer reply:

Not yet. If we leave, this place becomes even more of a cesspool of disinfo.

I think it’s also impt that we stay in order to do everythg we can to spread word about how dangerous a 2nd Trump term would be

You know better than most the lengths he’ll go to.

@GottaLaff @dzzyd someone missed debate class and ethics, perchance. It was an interesting read, good debate. Poor form on the drive-by.

And, I’m having a great day, thank you! 😃. Keep up the good work, @gottaLaf

Ugh, too early for this, only 6:40 am here but, 🧵 1/…

Via Scott MacFarlane:

Inside the appeals court hearing in the #GagOrder of #Trump in Trump's 2020 election conspiracy criminal case

Hearing is in the 6th floor ceremonial courtroom. Huge. The size of a small church. Rows and rows of wooden benches. Quite cold inside.
Trump attorney John Sauro is arguing first. He's speaking exceptionally fast. Scratchy voice. He got just 1-2 minutes in... until a judge interjects.

Forgot to post this last night, but the latest pizza turned out great! I’m back to using all purpose flour but I’ve adjusted the proof a bit. (And I still need to get a baking steel.)

@rasterweb @ddmgmgh (forgive my butting in, but, if you don’t have a juicer…). I quarter my tomatoes and roast on low until they’ve broken down. Then I drain the liquids (for stock) and freeze them u til all of the rest ripened and roasted. After that I thaw, drain more liquid, put the blender to them and can. You can cook it down further for paste but, note, the longer they are cooked in open air, the darker they get. Quite brown, in fact. Both of these techniques are effective.

BarnCatGardens,
@BarnCatGardens@mastodon.social avatar

@rasterweb @ddmgmgh you’ll find your groove. And, experimenting with various methods is half the fun! This was my best year by far. Not bragging as much as ridiculously chuffed. 😉. You will be too! (I used my immersion blander.)
