I&#39;ll respond to direct messages there, or to comments on my old posts that were made on those accounts–but that&#39;s it.

Some basil and oregano, some parsley, garlic (does that count?)...black pepper, but I don&#39;t think I could grow that around here. And I don&#39;t use that much of it anyway. 2026-10-11T23:22:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxe2g242f87h5sz7ztff8zjnvf7hrhzer5j33wwrkzfhk6vs4ty5szypy6nvdf5hvhl4mceyfajgny4640khkxwat4zf8phgwzjfam2p60k62cx6n Tomato garden update: all of the larger tomatoes (anything the size of a ping pong ball or bigger) basically has a large rotten spot at the bottom or a split. I guess that&#39;s calcium deprivation. The tiny tomatoes mostly came out fine, though. <br/><br/>Still, it would have been cheaper by far to just buy quality tomatoes at Costco. But since I have now spent the money to create the garden, I guess I&#39;ll use it next year. Not sure if I&#39;ll plant tomatoes, and if I do I definitely won&#39;t plant anything larger than a cherry tomato! <br/><br/>#gardening #tomatoes 2026-10-11T16:33:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2eslgavg3v7qfsv2km2hr329epm2u77g4703h5jz9vqqfhqeedkczypy6nvdf5hvhl4mceyfajgny4640khkxwat4zf8phgwzjfam2p60k47rk3u Hello!<br/><br/>This is my third Mastodon account. I created my first one on 9/11/2020, on kolektiva.social–the so-called &#34;anarchist&#34; instance. To my surprise, they turned out to be quite the authoritarians. I hate censorship, so I joined another instance years later. I hoped for more freedom of speech.<br/><br/>That second instance was Beige.party. They soon turned out to be censorship-happy, too. <br/><br/>So...third time&#39;s the charm? I hope. But I&#39;ll be duplicating ALL my future posts on my DreamWidth account.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been posting daily book recommendations for the past 170 days. You can find them at #QuasitBookRecs . I recommend a lot of old science fiction and fantasy as well as humor, children&#39;s, and YA books.<br/><br/>I also write about politics. I&#39;m not doctrinaire, but I&#39;m strongly anti-capitalist. I have no tolerance for anyone who supports genocide; that&#39;s personal for me. But I don&#39;t understand why it WOULDN&#39;T be personal to anyone! 2026-10-08T01:45:25Z
