btw I contacted #Tacoma #EvergreenResistance organizers to ask why #BlackWomen weren't mentioned on the poster 😒🤦🏻‍♀️😬
The group mod thanked me for pointing it out & sd the poster was the product of a coalition including Tacoma DSA, Tacoma Partisans, FRSO, Pierce County Immigration Alliance, Climate Alliance of South Sound, JVP Veterans for Peace, & others

Around Seattle: Tacoma: Birthplace of Frank Herbert: By now, almost everyone knows something about Dune, but did you know that Dune‘s author was born just south of Seattle on October 8, 1920, in the blue-collar city of Tacoma? Here are some enjoyable things to know about, or explore in, this neighbor of Seattle—including a way the city honors one of its most famous for… (#DunePeninsula #FrankHerbert #Tacoma #Tahoma)

Hey Everyone look who is on the Fediverse and wants to be active which is awesome! @WADeptHealth

Welcome "Official Mastodon account for the Washington State Department of Health."!!

Very happy to see you all on here! If you need any Fedi help (or even an interest in a WA State level instance I can help with) im here for you!

Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia have all decriminalized psychedelic mushrooms, in case you weren't paying attention. So my Washington comrades, now might be a good time to talk about psychedelic anarchism.

Imagination is the most powerful weapon against authoritarianism. If we can't imagine a world beyond this one, especially if we can't imagine the path out, how can we build that future? How can we walk down a path we can't imagine?

Years of research into how PTSD impacts cognition have shown us that trauma suppresses creativity and imagination. The greatest power of fascism is its ability to traumatize us into submission. We become prisoners without chains, trapped simply in our inability to imagine how things could be different.

Guess what psychedelics do.

Simple microdosing can recover some of that capability and can help us begin to imagine new ways to resist. Larger doses (with appropriate trip protocols, set and setting, etc) can increase our creativity and neuroplasticity for days and weeks after, allowing us to both imagine how things could be better and to enact those changes.

It's all too common that we focus on the material conditions of revolution and ignore the psychic ones. The 60s didn't come out of nowhere. Acid was discovered in the 40s. The psychedelic revolution preceded the physical one. We have learned a lot since then.

There aren't enough police in the world to stop us from making things radically better, if we first free our minds. Kill the cop in your head.

"Free your mind... and your ass will follow" isn't just a song title. Revolution is a DIY project, and it starts with you.

I've been on a fermentation kick lately, and I'm loving these silicone airlock lids. Here's some pictures of one on a jar of filmjölk I made, a yogurt-adjacent Swedish fermented milk product that's fermented at room temperatures (20-25.5°C/68-78°).

They fit snugly inside the mason jar. I have another on a jar of kombucha at the moment.

Having a lot of fun with the new electric chipper shredder. It's very portable and is making quick work of these pruned apple branches.

It's also making loads of hardwood chips, great for mulching or for using in a smoker. Hardwood chips are hard to track down and are usually quite spendy, so excited to be able to make my own.
