now winter is coming, i’m so on the lookout for some denim coats/vests to extend the floral/craft pastiche look into cold time [or as cold as we get here]

planted purple beans today [not peas, as depicted!] partly in hopes they’ll resist the fulsarium wilt that took down the cucumbers. partly because they’ll please the vegetarian and non-vege kids equally.

from: Leslie Feinberg March 5, 2012:

CeCe McDonald—with the help of organized supporters—is struggling to free herself from behind bars after successfully defending herself against a bloody attack by a group who used white supremacist, transphobic, gay-hating, anti-woman, youth-bashing slurs and violent physical assault.

The right of self-defense against all forms of oppressions—the spirit of Stonewall—is at the heart of the demand to free her.

I urge readers who may not know about CeCe McDonald’s struggle to learn more (see links below), to help find creative, ongoing ways to spread the word about her case, and to help build support during her April 2012 trial.

CeCe McDonald can count on me as a warrior to fight alongside her until this critical and urgent struggle is won—and until every battle in won. Free CeCe McDonald, right now!

I snipped the bit about writing to prisoners, including CeCe, because - you know - trolls.

A John Cushman Kodachrome of a circus trapeze artist, taken at Soldier’s Field, c.1944, Chicago. Those arms!

wow. i’m in awe.

This is what I loved about circus - the muscular femmes, the physical discipline and experimentation without the macho stuff.

so, this is one of those 101 curries for people who aren’t really into curries. 

but seeing as how i have a flourishing eggplant plant in my garden, and last week was so rainy and indoors, i made this a few times. practical for stay at home cosy dinners. and it pleased the kids when served with cheese/breads.

also: being lazy, i used only one type of lentil, chucked in some leftover tomatos instead of tomato paste, and skipped the whole veggie broth thing but added the random herbs i had in my garden. Which was okayfinetasty.

Lavender comes from the Latin root lavare, which means “to wash.” While lavender is well-known for its fragrance, it also has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.
