The Little Free Pantry utilizes a
familiar, compelling concept to pique local interest in and action
against local food insecurity. The Little Free Pantry offers a place
around which neighbors might coalesce to meet neighborhood needs,
whether for food or for fun.
The single Little Free Pantry is “little.” Lots of Little Free Pantries might be big. Duplicate freely.
This is hopefully gonna be a master post of important events that went down in Portland. No doubt the Proud Boys and American Guard are going to try and sweep their activity under the rug so we need to make sure it’s seen. Their narrative is that antifa are violent domestic terrorists and we are the source of conflict, this narrative is hard to maintain whenever they come out because they end up showing their violent nature. We need to call them out on it.
American Guard members opened a bus door to confront antifa, one wielding a hammer. Antifa outside grabbed the hammer and took it off them. This is being spun as antifa attacking with a hammer first. (gif of altercation)
Huh, for a group that keeps accusing us of domestic terrorism for wearing masks, they sure do wear a lot of masks. But maybe they only care if you’re ANTI-fascist.
Vegetable Crop Yields, Plants per Person, and Crop Spacing
Vegetable crop yields and the number of vegetable plants to grow for each person in your household will help you estimate the space needed for a home vegetable garden.
Crop yield estimates and consumption predictions are largely base on experience. Keeping a food log and garden record can help you hone your vegetable garden needs and make for smarter planning.
Vegetable crop yields will vary according to garden conditions and variety planted. Weather and growing conditions can change from year to year, and these changes can affect yield.
Here are crop yield estimates, plants-per-person suggestions, and crop spacing requirements to help you estimate your garden space requirements and growing requirements. Use these estimates with your own experience.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
