States are reporting Medicaid payments are frozen, as well as SNAP, Headstart, etc. So if the govt isn’t paying for any services anymore does that mean we get to stop paying taxes?
Context does matter! I agree! Like being in front of a large crowd during the victory day for the far right candidate of a large country.. to make this hand gesture certainly evokes something. And that it’s the richest man in the world…? Are you blind to what this statement is? The rest of the...
Just two days ago he appeared in a video in support of the German far-right group AfD, which aims to 'eliminate the free democratic basic order'. Its leaders have used nazi slogans and are generally considered 'Neo nazis'. Musk was in full support of this group, telling them to 'move beyond'...
I’d be curious to know what our tree friends in the north think of Trump’s idea to turn Canada into a US state. He says your taxes and health care would be better. How do you feel about that?
Such subversive talk. What in the world are you trying to say here. Musk is a nazi and every nazi on the planet needs to be afraid for their lives. Anyone who belongs to an ideology that seeks to kill others en masse based on their ethnicity is scum of the earth and should be afraid to walk out...
Yesterday I did an assessment on a property where the homeowner had done some vine removals with a chainsaw, sometimes getting pretty deep into the cambium unfortunately. (I was balancing the message of avoiding doing that without telling him he’s a bozo). But there were lots of sapsucker holes...
Trump came to Asheville today to announce he is going to reform or probably dismantle FEMA altogether. What the f is that shit. It felt like we were all on our own but damn it feels a little rough when you hear it direct. So everyone’s next disaster, don’t expect the feds to lift a finger for ya.
I caucus with the anarchists these days. No kings. Eat the rich. That kind of thing.
Trump likes to eliminate govt when it suits him and expand it when it suits him, generally follows a fascism playbook. Not sure why the libertarians fall for it.
Didn’t hear. I didn’t watch any of it. But just looked it up… lip service… we will see how it translates to action in the next big disaster. But pulling out of climate accord, pulling out of WHO, gutting the govt, I don’t see how any of these things make the govt more able to respond to...
So weird, everything today was exactly the same as it was a couple days ago. Almost as if the government doesn’t have much power over me? If you’re referring to the trans community I think the fears are overstated. I’m much more concerned about immigrants and our economy/health care in general...
Mel Gibson, ‘Conspiracy Theory’, 1997, in his room surrounded by newspaper clippings. A natural role for him.
He did turn out to be right in the movie… more importantly he bit Sir Patrick Stewart’s nose off.
Being disaster ready is a huge takeaway. When I was deep in Helene recovery work and everyone from afar was asking how to help, I told everyone to work on their disaster plan. Everyone’s next natural disaster, no matter where you live, could be right around the corner.
A big part of that is...
Common swift- European swift. My local birder friends don’t like them because they take over local habitats, just like this silver maple stump, from the native birds.. Might be common to our area and not yours.

Leaving snags is routine in this area across different companies, easy to sell and even often requested, probably have left hundreds.. I’ve only done the coronet cut a couple times though. I think it’s a neat hat trick but wildlife is incredibly adept at making their own houses. I left a...
