My latest garden adventure has been parenting these beautiful pink oyster mushrooms, and I can’t wait for the harvest! The gills on these suckers are so visually satisfying.

A million, billion thank-yous for making September my best ever rank on MFC. I’m boundlessly grateful and still pinching myself; I never thought I’d see that number, but most of all, I’m grateful that each month, I’ve been gifted with so much laughter and joy.

My first homegrown bouquet, settled in a vase for the moment but will be strung up to dry. It may be autumn at last, but these sunny summer hues make me so happy.

Back in January 2022, I hit rank 242. I truly thought there was no chance I’d ever beat that, but four years later, June took me by complete surprise. Thank you so much for 236! ❤️‍🔥

My time has been consumed by playing in the dirt, absorbing sunlight so I can photosynthesize, catering to the whims of the birds & making my home feel more and more like me. I’m loving every second of it.

Another year of getting that big x on my hand every time I go to a show— two years sober and life looks so different, and definitely a lot better!

Big news! I moved! No more uneven flooring, a toilet that flushes twice per day, and I can cook and wash clothes without stressing that it’ll be 80 degrees inside!

On this darkest night of the year, we remember Avalon, earth and animal liberationist and co-founder of the Catalyst Infoshop (1965 –2005). Avalon took his own life in prison twenty years ago today after being betrayed by a comrade turned informant. RIP Avalon, long live the Earth Liberation Front!

A poster featuring an illustration of the 1998 burning of the Vail Ski Resort superimposed with a bat and a banner that reads "Long live the Earth Liberation Front". In the background, yellow text reads "Certain human cultures have been waging war against the earth for millennia. I chose to fight on the side of bears, mountain lions, skunks, bats, saguaros, cliff rose, and all things wild. I am just the most recent casualty in that war. But tonight I have made a jail break—I am returning home to the earth to the place of my origins—Avalon"
