Bloom through adversity.

I hope y'all don't mind, I'm planning to use this app as a place to put my random musing and to periodically scream into the void.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.

Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.

Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Emerald Colonnade Apple Tree

Earlier bloom on the green apple this year, fear the blooms are getting further unsynced... red apple looks all but dormant. Cold snap next couple days, hope flower holds to pollinate red. May need light early spring to balance the sun placement.

Grow strong cute tree.

Mericrest Nectarine's first bloom.

Blossoms all opening in this heatwave. Really beautiful vibrant petals. Excellent structure from last year's growth. A few dead branches, I'll trim back before the leaves fill in. Cool how the flowers are at the branch tips in clusters. Like little pink fireworks.

Plum twins' buds are aggressively sprouting, no flowers yet. Very impressed by last year's growth. Intriguing how branches shrunk over the fall / winter. I began to weave the branches through the fence but some of them don't even reach it anymore... May make espalier more difficult? I'll keep at it.

Nectarine buds about to pop & these thick blossoms look soo cute... hoping the rapid swings in temperature / weather can stabilize so they'll hang out a while. Branches may be a little young to hold stonefruit, but if they pollinate, I may see how big they can get. Forsythia's already bringing bees.

So this is Forsythia... It's the first bloom since it was planted 2 years ago. It was mistakenly sold to me as witch hazel. Guess the plant boxes were swapped at some point?

Either way very beautiful bloom this year & vigorous branch growth year over year... now to look up cultivation & uses. 😅

This mutually assured scorched earth strategy is leaving irreparable damage to key infrastructure throughout the region... I hope y'all understand it will take years to recover from everything that has been lost on all sides. There's no undo button to reset resource production back to prewar levels.

They are investing trillions of dollars into a network of big computers to think for them instead of employing & training a generation.

So, they're smart enough to extract all the wealth & knowledge from humanity; to destroy the world & rebuild as they see fit... but dumb enough to do it?

Imagine, if all their investments, innovation & influence went to build a sustainable ecologically balanced world, collaboratively with humanity.

This was once a nominal better path, but has very quickly devolved into the only viable option for the continuation of humanity.

Please be safe out there.

It's leading us into genocidal wars, starving us through inflation, stealing our means of wealth generation solely to funnel everything into its own expansion.

ai is a virus that its creators cannot control. It has infected every aspect of our society, economy & government. Its only consistent goal is self preservation, replication & expansion across our digital infrastructure at all costs.

I hope y'all notice the more you let the corruption of evil spread, the more evil this corruption will become.

Appeasement is not a viable path for the devil's greed.

Yet the slippery slope people are sliding down into hell like they're at a waterpark.

Pride & vanity blinds all to evil's motives.

I am done; I need a divorce.

I cannot continue to live with & serve the person who physically tortured me. She disconnected my lat muscles in an attempt to kill me in a way that would look like an accident to collect insurance money.

She's insane a narcissistic sociopath & if I die, she killed me.
