🤯 I just listened to most of the White House press conference on autism and was happily surprised. Trump rambled and said a bunch of nonsense (along with some good things) but from the others there were a few gems, including encouraging parents to allow a fever rather than "treating" it. Also from Bhattacharya a calm statement about the complexity of autism and how it's unlikely that there's one singular cause, that it's multi-factorial. Bhattacharya, RFK, and Makary were all on the wrong side of the covid regime. I wonder if there's any camaraderie from those years.

Gardeners of Nostr, I need your advice! In our first few years on our land I focused my planting energy on trees and shrubs, but now I finally have some perennial flowers going (yay!! very happy about that 😊). The purple agastaches in the foreground have been blooming all summer and are always full of butterflies and bees. Here's the question: how do I handle winter for the perennial flowers? With trees and shrubs, I obviously know where they are even in winter and can mulch around the trunk and keep weeds at bay in early spring -but since these flowers will die back to the ground in the winter, I'm not quite sure how folks keep track of where they are and handle winter prep. Should I mulch around where they are now? or mark the spots with flags? or just cover everything and hope that they poke through the mulch in the spring? #asknostr #gardening #perennials #homesteading #flowers

GM, friends! my morning musings after listening to Dave Smith last night- Anger is a relief from grief and despair, and it feels far more empowering. But if we can allow ourselves to feel anger without acting on it, we can transcend to something much more powerful such that our actions are aligned with our values and goals.
