Last Notes npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They stretched these understandings out into the social sphere. Markets are not just a chosen way to distribute labour and material goods, they are a fundamental fabric guided by immutable scientific laws. A scientific god with invisible hands guides these markets toward TRUTH and harmonious functioning. This idealism was true of speech as well, of course. The invisible hand of the marketplace of ideas, guiding it toward an optimal outcome and the TRUE IDEAS. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "I'll trade you one well thought out policy about sanitation system upgrades for six fleeting notions about the moon landing" npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I'll never forget the american coworker here who, when I described Canadian labour laws to him a few years ago, replied "yeah but it's an american company so it follows american laws". npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea What the Louvre thieves have demonstrated for everyone is that you are unstoppable with a hi-vis vest and a calm sense of confidence. You can do basically whatever the fuck you want. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Again, I think the potential for misunderstanding is way too high and just invites endless word games trying to define democracy. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yeah it's not my preferred rhetoric. I prefer something along the lines of (give or take): npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yeah I agree and I also try not to get toooo tied up in the definitions. I think the thrust of his argument is clear. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "Political rights do not exist because they have been legally set down on a piece of paper, but only when they have become the ingrown habit of a people, and when any attempt to impair them will meet with the violent resistance of the populace. Where this is not the case, there is no help in any parliamentary Opposition or any Platonic appeals to the constitution." npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The reason I'm bringing this up is to tell you not to go to bat for John Bolton. Even if that fight is won, you've just expended all your energy and all you've got is John Bolton. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Groups like the ACLU and other institutions that structure themselves as liberal rights-based NGOs tend to spend their time pursuing the most extreme end of whatever so-called principle they're fighting for. So they do things like defend nazis to prove that even the most *extreme* deserve freedom of speech. Meanwhile, they neglect genuine political prisoners languishing behind bars. They opt for performance of an ideal, rather than actually materially advancing that ideal. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea In my experience, a big part of this is that nationalism causes people to identify with the state. Since they view the state as an extension of themselves, a criticism of the actions of the state is also a criticism of them. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I let my tomatillo plants get too bushy, which made me dread pruning and harvesting them. I'm finally hacking them back today so I can retrieve my soaker hose, and of course there's a fuckin billion tomatillos in here lmao. Not only on the plants, but also dropped all over the bed. Some rotting, some nibbled on, some beautiful. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea This is at the heart of why it feels like "we can't build anything anymore". All of the resources have been pulled from the doers to managers, auditors, financiers. All of the attention is paid to tracking KPIs and box-checking compliance instead of actual labour. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Neoliberals and the private sector both wrap themselves in the aesthetic of "efficiency" and "cutting red tape", but really all they do is cut funding and gum shit up. They fucking looooove red tape. 10 more forms and 3 more auditors to scrutinize the spending please. Oh, that didn't work? Better create another agency of auditors to audit the auditing agency. Oh, that didn't work? How about another? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Carney's governing style so far seems to basically consist of creating new government agencies to duplicate bureaucratic functions. I suppose it should come as no surprise that a neoliberal who spent his whole life in finance and government would fail open into this mode. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Has nobody in the US told these yankee petite bourgeoisie that we're hurting their businesses on purpose? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea There's other ways too of course, but those probably take longer npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The quickest way for blue states to get Canadians to visit again is for them to secede from the union. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It's funny too, that most of these people probably regularly refer to their current government as fascist. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea People here are not complaining about "hurt feelings" or the finer points of free trade deals. We're grappling with the idea of being killed by american soldiers or sent to a death camp. There's no amount of liberal apologies, "Canadians welcome" signs, or free parking that are going to change that. If these people are so concerned about Canadian visitors, they need to pull their heads out of the sand and fix the fucking problem. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Look I'm sure these people are nice enough, but are they just totally oblivious? Or is this a weird selective sample by Klepper? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I think everyone needs a reminder that fascists don't need "an excuse" to do fascist violence. Fascists do fascist violence when given opportunity, not when given pretext. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Capitalism brought us such innovations as setting up a second line next to the normal line at the amusement park where you can pay more money to go sooner. The ride still has the same throughput, it just lets you go sooner if you pay more. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea People who say that without markets we'll have rationing are hiding the fact that markets are a form of rationing npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea There was a butterfly milkweed at the local nursery and it had a little baby monarch caterpillar on it so obviously I had to bring it home npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Look at this cute lil snake in the grass! :blobcataww: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea "I'm gonna change the system from the inside!" npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It makes me sad to think about how many of us have been stolen by these power structures. Young, idealistic, good people. They want to help, they grab the ring of power, and they become everything they were fighting against. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea People in my community tell me to run for council pretty often. Every time, I tell them that if I become their councilor then I won't be me anymore. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea When you'll do anything for a dollar, you'll do most things for a fascist dime npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The past decade has been the longest most pathetic parade of liberal clowns entertaining fascists, and the clowns have found their Carney npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea You put your elbows up npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea When I first saw this notification, I thought it was about the slug lmao npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea A hummingbird was just flying 30 cm from my face and it looked at me for a bit! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I roll it in oil, sprinkle with flaky salt and fresh pepper, and crisp up under the broiler. Much less bitter. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Good garden haul so I'm just gonna eat a fuckload of green things for supper. I am become rabbit. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea We men simply burn our hands when we cook tasty cinnamon buns npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Based based based :ablobcatbongo: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Defend Mark Hancock npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It's going to remain especially tough until the lib/NDP swing "progressives" get tired of their new toy and take off their rose coloured glasses. So many people still giving him the benefit of the doubt for absolutely no reason. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea The state is not on our side, so why would I want it to be run competently? And workaholic types are the worst because they always act like the rest of us are supposed to feel the same. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea One of these days, labour is gonna need to show some backbone and shoot our shot. Every one of these fights we lose by following the law, the harder that shot is gonna be. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea CUPE once again getting their rights to strike suspended by the government and Unifor once again signalling the government that they are ready to fuck up their shit. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Imagine coming unsolicited into my mentions to tell me how scary homeless people are and that's why you never leave the house unarmed. Buddy, do you know where in the fuck you are? Byeeeeee npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They tell you that homeless people are a threat to you because of crime, drugs, blah blah blah. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea That so-called unproductive members of society will be forcibly deprived of housing is one of the sticks that they use to beat you into producing for them. Yankees will recognize this as the same reason why their healthcare is tied to their employment. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Is it because they've heard it so many times since childhood? Because the person saying it has an affect of respectability? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It's amazing how many people will hear a statement like "obviously we can't house EVERYONE" and just shrug and go along with it as though it makes any kind of sense npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Thanks, yeah everyone's safe which is what matters. Pissed though. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Anyone from the oil patch wanna make the pitch to me why my family's home should burn for their job? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea My family live in a place where the normal seasons are rain, snow, rain with fog, and rain again but different. They're all evacuating from wildfires right now. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea A hickory tussock moth caterpillar dropped into my hair from one of the walnut trees. What a fuzzy little cutie :blobcataww: Can't reach the walnut canopy so I left the lil fuzzball on a stump sprouting ash that's now taken on a sort of bush form. Lots to munch! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea :blobcataww: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yeah the swallowtail caterpillars will host on them too! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Bush honeysuckle and columbine are good adds as well for hummingbirds 🙂 npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Probably a bunch, at least for as long as it's blooming. Good reason to have something else they wanna eat to extend their visits 🙂 npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yessssss :ablobcatbongo: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They're on my lanceleaf coreopsis doing the same! I made sure to grab some seeds to spread around before the birds got them all lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Sometimes I think we've overmessaged on milkweed and forgot to say that butterflies need nectar too. But yeah, the adults love liatris! It's good to plant things for the adults nearby the larval hosts 🙂 npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Monarch butterfly! On the liatris spicata! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I had to wrap mine in chicken wire after the rabbits got one lol. And I planted it back by the ravine and the pawpaws where it gets part shade from the walnuts. Seems happy! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Michigan lily is finally blooming! :ablobcatbongo: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Damn, where'd they get the soil? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Haha yup! Named that because there's basically no soil there lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea They'll do that! Mine are about 4 feet tall right now and look juuuust about to burst npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I guess we can add tree of heaven to the list of invasives to deal with out back 😑 npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Very excited for your Joe Pye! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Mine too! The bees were really busy on the rubus thicket out back a few weeks ago. I saw them on the coreopsis a little bit after the rubus was done flowering, but I'm hoping the liatris gets them back here in numbers again. Need to figure out some good flowers to bridge those so my bumbly buds can hang out all the time. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Liatris brings all the bees to the yard npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Can't keep soil free of plants for very long! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea For americans, a clematis is a type of vine popular in canada for making cocktails, and includes clam juice npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Garter snake! In the clematis! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Kinda... it blooms on new growth I think, so it depends where you want the blooms. A lot of people prune it back to a foot or so above where it's attached to whatever it's trellised on. As you've seen, it'll be back to where it was in no time lmao npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea It'll grow even faster next year when it doesn't need to spend time setting roots! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Once it's established, yeah! Prolific grower. Mine's still establishing so I have to be patient lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea She loves me back :apartyblobcat: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea You need to get them some friendly neighbours 🙂 Maybe some little bluestem or black eyed susans or something to lean on. Prairie plants are communities, and they like to cuddle up close! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Woke up lookin for the broccoli npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Did anyone protest the G7 this time? Is it even relevant enough to protest? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea A lot of people don't like their kids and wanted to be able to send them back to school so they didn't have to be around them all day. Thus, childhood covid immunity was phantasmically birthed into existence. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Certain that it has. This ridiculous incompetent behaviour is almost universal among fascists globally/historically though. It's a pretty defining trait in the ideology. I definitely wouldn't start counting chickens. It's certainly an opportunity though. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Really hesitant to extrapolate this out, but it at least appears to be an opening. And that's something. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I did not have military labour action on my 2025 bingo card. This is actually kinda promising. If there's one thing soldiers know how to do, it's bear the crushing weight of dysfunctional bureaucracy. But if there's TWO things they know, the second one is how to march correctly. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea We need PEACEFUL protests. That will rally our support for the 1938 elections where, if we concede enough, we may be able to win back the freikorps vote and put a parliamentary check on Hitler's power, as long as the polling and the donors from Krupp allow it. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea If I had a time machine, I wouldn't go back and kill Hitler because that's violent. I'd go back and snark and screech at the antifascists because they weren't protesting the right way and they were giving Hitler the moral high ground. I don't like Hitler either but if you attack the SA then you're just as bad as them. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea That's good. It's tough to have to wait lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Looking like it's working toward flowering! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I am full to bursting, round and immobile, gorged on strawberries. As nature intended. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Strawberry season ❤️ npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Drinking my morning coffee at the edge of the forest and listening to the birds is such a luxury npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea When people think of direct action, the mind often goes to anarchists in bloc doing cool acts of sabotage. And that's an example, yes. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Protests are cool. I'm for it. Please do cause a ruckus. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Me too! npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Sneaky! They get hit *really* hard by the bumblebees when they're in bloom in my experience, so you should have absolutely no pollination issues lmao npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Gorgeous! And the stems on the liatris look nice and healthy :blobcataww: npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Yeah, I've got similar problems with them as well as the nearby norways. Fending off maple succession is a fulltime job lol npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Their seed load and growth rate are very high, so they can spur succession a lot faster and tend to really fill up the understory. It makes our local forests behave differently than they otherwise would, though this is true of many things. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Ooh good question! They're complicated and kind of a mixed bag. It's true that they're not historically native here, and there are a few problems that come with that, but they don't *totally* fit the non-native/invasive profile either. One of the things that's true of, say norway maple, is that the local insects don't eat it. But it seems to me that they do eats the manitobas. So not ideal but not a total loss either. npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea Ahh gotcha! Can you tell if it self seeded anywhere? npub1u453gzstdegjg3z6ux2d006tejvq72f6laq06hs6686twltf2yssta3myz CedarTea I've never grown one before but I think they establish pretty quickly, right?
