Peach, wild blackberry and ginger. 😁 if I was trying to do this as a side hustle i'd have to charge $26.66 a jar to make $20 an hour. And i'm not even including the cost of the peaches and ginger and sugar and pectin. Blackberries, fortunately, are free. People don't charge enough for jam. Yay jam!

Back on esomeprazole and remembering oh yes, my choices are no stomach pain BUT jittery anxiety, horrible mood swings, depression & general aggro-ness OR endless painful stomach & esophagus issues but significantly less of the above. Hashtag i cannot fucking win.

I only play Minecraft so I will be just so incredibly rich and happy now. Unless a surprise cree

You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?

FUCK I'M TIRED OF THESE STUPID CRAZY ASSHOLES

I was thinking the other day how those not in DC (I'm not) aren't hit as clearly with how Trump has turned the White House grounds into something between construction site and waste dump. Genuinely upsetting. Far from the worst thing he's done but among the most tangible and graphic.

I was literally JUST doing a talk about this with @mcmanlypants.bsky.social an hour ago! The thing is that the Rockies are so much bigger than you that they don’t notice if you exist. But the Appalachians are so much older than you that if they notice you, bad shit’s about to go down.

It's so cute when people on the east coast talk about mountains

The best way to honor John Crowley, take a couple minutes and read aloud the last paragraph of Little, Big.

My favorite novel of all time. Read it so many times. I’m currently rereading Ka & I’m always & forever rereading the Aegypt cycle. RIP Mr. Crowley, you will be missed.

Jedediah Berry@jedediahberry.bsky.social · 2w ago

Anyway yes read Little, Big, it's genuinely one of the greatest English language novels of all time, but also read Engine Summer and the Aegypt cycle and Ka and The Deep, and read his stories and his essays, and while you're at it just read everything.

The terrible beauty of wildfire smoke. Compared to the rest of the state we've hardly gotten any, so i cannot complain. Taken last Monday at sunset. #photography #canonphotography #heron #greatblueheron #Oregon #smoke #blueskyartshow #birding #oregoncoast

Not even 9 am yet and I already broke Excel. This is going to be a grrrrrrreat day!

Petition to sign - I don’t know about you but the idea that the fash are “consolidating” the national archives scares the fuck out of me. c.org/NZXgRDbBV5

Sign the Petition

Stop the Closure of the National Archives in Chicago and San Francisco!

Just a reminder that in this country, the process is punishment. 24 hours in jail to process your arrest, money for bail, money for a lawyer, missed work for your court appearances...it all adds up. We do this to poor people every single day in this country. Many never really recover.

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

I'm at the park watching Zootopia 2. Copaganda for the pre k set, assisted by police giving out free pizza and soda. Small towns!

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Harvey met Sushi the grandkitten tonight and it is hard to find words for a 2 pound kitten arching his back & dancing, claw tipped feet towards a 65 pound dog who has turned his head, thus making himself blind: utterly incapable of perceiving said kitten. There is no kitten. It does not exist.

We'll gain far more ground when we stop listening to the calls from liberals and even some leftists to constantly coddle the most dangerously spoiled scum on the planet. "We need to listen to..." No. No, we don't, we've endured their bs our entire lives. It doesn't get better with repetition.

The next gentry asshole who says the economy's good, actually, should be forced to print this chart out and eat it.

"Buying food to eat at home has gotten 33% more expensive in U.S. cities since the beginning of 2019, according to government figures. In the 7.5 years before that, prices rose 6.4%." (via @apnews.com) apnews.com/article/groc...

Dude down the street who is using a literal PA attached to his truck to address his ex wife and demand his kids: if you are at all confused as to why she is your EX wife, I believe the whole neighborhood can now explain that to you.

I'm tabling at the (rural Oregon) county fair and the local Republicans are raffling off assault rifles and meat with AI slop posters. Whoo. America fuck yeah. But! We also have a working families party tent and a Sasquatch calling contest so balance in all things I guess.

OK so I know its not #caturday but let me introduce Sushi, my grandcat, who has one pink toe bean, is extremely bouncy, has very sharp tiny feet, purrs mightily, and survived a little kid birthday party with aplomb (he slept the whole next day.) #kitten #blueskycats

Mr. Binks disappeared last night. Fear, until son opened the car door around 2:30 & out strolled Binks, irritable & hungry but otherwise fine. Fortunately it has been a cool grey day. Must have gotten in before I closed the car windows around 6 last night. 18 hours. Idk if he still loves the car.

Cartoonist Ruben Bolling has been absolutely killing it, and here's another one

The lesson a lot of people unable to learn: No one is ever JUST a racist or a misogynist or an antisemite etc.

Corporate profits soared last quarter to their highest levels since right before the Great Depression, reaching 14.4%. They keep raising prices to pad excess profits, leaving us all holding the bag. This is a systemwide coordinated effort that's crushing the working class.

Fireworks from the hill above the river. Beautiful! & fun! Cruelly abandoned my poor dog who is on more drugs than Hunter Thompson on a good night & ensconced in blankets, beds & white noise. No guilt. ok some guilt. #phoneography #fireworks #Oregon #oregoncoast #astoriaoregon

In other news poor Harvey is drugged to the gills on trazodone in anticipation of neighborhood fireworks which so far have not materialized. Which is why I just said Sorry you're having a bad trip, man, to my dog.

Got up early, went clamming. 😁 then Four and I cleaned them and cooked them for dinner. #oregoncoast #clouds #scape #phoneography #photography
