Trump and the Republicans are so up their own asses with corruption and oligarch cash they think they can convince us insanely unpopular data centers are good for us

New to the game? #ShowMeYourKnits is a weekly game to show off your #knitting. I post a new prompt for the week, usually Saturday AM (UK time). Post pics, use alt-text, add the hashtag, bask in the glory & praise 😇. A great way to find & follow talented knitters 🧶!
I also do Musselburgh hats but no pics #showmeyourknits

I have a huge deer problem & I have Rattlesnake Master all over in non fenced areas as last year I planted 50 plugs.Deer so far seem to leave it alone.Last year I noticed a few bites here & there but not this year.Crossing fingers.Also leave mountain mint & penstemon alone.Occasionally nip monarda.
gardening_kristi@gardeningkristi.bsky.social · 2w agoA Rattlesnake Master appreciation post. This is the first year I'm getting a decent flowering and I'm enchanted. It's also supposedly deer resistant. I've only tried it behind the deer fence so far. Does anyone else with deer in their gardens daily have experience to share? 🌱 #nativeplants
