OK, I had a really good organizing meeting call for a resistance event that I'm gonna be part of later this spring. Sorry for the vague book teaser but I cannot wait until I have enough information to share with you guys!! Hopefully in a few days.

I'm so excited to see the energy and momentum that good people all over this country have right now, even in the midst of things feeling really dark, people are not giving up and they are finding strength and courage inside of themselves that they did not know they had. I'm so grateful to be a part of this movement with you all.

Ok, it is 7:43 PM and I will likely be completely asleep by 8 PM. I had hoped to film a couple more videos. But they will have to wait for the morning. I may be posting a little bit less over the next two days as I have an event with my high school senior as he gets ready to go to college. I hope y'all have a good night and take care. I'll see you in the morning. ❤️ ❌👑

Thank you to everyone who showed up for my LIVE on permaculture and gardening today!

It was soooo nice to talk about something besides the American political landscape. It really made my day, and I hope it was helpful for folks!

My current plan is to do a Permaculture focused live on Thursdays going forward.

What time of day works best for you?

I will be going LIVE at 3 PM Pacific today for a Permaculture AMA.

Bring all of your gardening and Permaculture design related questions and I will gladly do my best to answer them and share resources!

I am thinking of doing a weekly Permaculture LIVE every Thursday, but I am unavailable this Thursday, so I figured what the heck let's do it this afternoon and see how it goes!

Good morning folks! I promise not to talk all day about how MAGA Christianity is a doomsday cult, but I do have one more video coming out on that subject today and probably another one tomorrow.

I have a couple of unrelated questions for you all, and I would be so grateful if you could respond in the comments.

1. Can you use the YouTube captions and what do you think of them?

I consistently get conflicting feedback about my captions. I stopped adding the CapCut/fancy captions to my videos several months ago after I got an awful lot of feedback that they make it really difficult to read the YouTube auto generated captions, because they end up getting overlaid on top of each other.

Please remember you can turn on captions on your end on YouTube (and on TikTok). I have it set to auto generate captions in up to 12 languages, so please let me know if any part of that is not working for you.

I want to make sure that my content is accessible for people, so please give me feedback on this issue or any other issue of accessibility.

2. I am compiling a resistance book list. People ask me all of the time to put all of my book recommendations in one place. I will probably publish this on my Patreon for free next week, but I would love to know what your favorite books about resistance are?

What history books do you recommend right now? What books have you read in the last year that have been inspirational or educational and important for your work in the American resistance?

I want to continue to add to this book list, and welcome your recommendations for what I should read next. Here's what I'm currently reading: Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment. (Really grateful my library had a copy because this book is quite expensive!)

Good morning! YouTube seems to be having some problems this morning and half of my data is missing and I cannot edit or publish any of the videos I have queued up for today please hang tight with me. The problems are in the YT studio app on my phone and on my laptop login both, so clearly a bigger issue for YT. Hopefully, they will get it fixed soon.

In the meantime, I'm gonna go finish a Substack post for today.

I am quite under the weather and can't attend the Singing Protest at ICE today. If you're interested in going, here are the deets, including the song sheet. Bring your voice, your knitting, your nonviolence, your love of democracy and connect with other folks.

Instead of attending, Ruth and I will be going LIVE at 1:30pm Pacific and I wll donate profits from the stream to PIRC (PIRCOregon.org).

(also, just FYI, there is a TRO on tear gas and such at ICE right now, so it's a little bit less risky to be protesting down there right now.)

I realize I've only gotten around to posting one video today, but I've been super busy, including a new Substack post! (don't worry I'm gonna be filming more this evening! Loads to talk about!)

I am trying to figure out how to use Substack better. All of my content over there is available for free. Folks only have to subscribe if they want to help support my work, but you don't have to pay to view my posts. Permaculture should be accessible for everyone!

Two things:
1. Thank you to everybody who showed up for the LIVE last night with Ruth and me. All LIVEs are automatically archived, and you can watch them at any time here on my YouTube channel.

2. I just posted a video on a topic that was requested in the chat of the LIVE last night.

Kids' Safety online was not originally on my list of things to talk about this week, but I am trying really hard to listen to requests from my audience and talk about issues you all feel are important. Thank you for nudging me to bump this subject up to the top. I think it is really important and needs more attention.

The disaster at Discord highlights the truth: KOSA is NOT about safety.

Ruth and I are going LIVE at 6pm Pacific. She wants to talk about AI slop, Colossal BioSciences, and the pop science to fascism pipeline.


Drop your questions below, or bring them to the LIVE! As always, we are happy to diverge from the starting topic if that is where the conversation flows organically. I want people to view lives as a community space where we are having a conversation and folks can have a conversation with each other in the comments as well.

As of 7 minutes ago, The Guardian is reporting that Kristi Noem is being replaced as DHS secretary. I REALLY want to talk about this today because there are significant implications, but this story is FRESH, and there will be more info coming out in the next few hours, so I'm going to wait to talk about it until later today. (Also, I'm at the oral surgeon with my kid who needs wisdom teeth out, so not much I can say from here).

I will say, this is a WIN. The regime being forced to remove its corrupt sycophantic minions when it doesn't want to is ALWAYS a win for us. However, we don't rest on our laurels. And also, they're not replacing bad corrupt evil people with decent folks intent on following the law. So, we need to understand that this is a victory for us, it's gonna make Tr*mp big mad, and we keep pushing forward.

More soon....
