Today was sourdough baking day. Mrs. Chgowiz and I had two loaves in the fridge, ready to go after taking a "Sourdough 101" class on Wed.

Lost track of time on the first loaf, didn't hear the timer go off, so the crust got a bit toasty. The second one turned out fine. Can't wait to cut them open and eat them tonight!

Of course the point of Solnit is that resistance is not spontaneously "popping up like mushrooms", but the fruit of the mycelium of years of organising.

Which doesn't mean that you need years before doing anything, but it does mean you need to start organising NOW if you didn't already.

Find people, at least one. Or even better: join an existing organisation.

Then do something.
Just a little thing. Call a representative, and ask them to put up a fight. Or print a poster of a burning swasticar and hang it in the street. Or collect clothing and food for the people who need it most. Or ask an activist or an organisation you like, what they need most.

You don't have to invent the wheel. You can be a little brick. We don't need heroes, we need to organise. And we need many people who take a little step, and another one, and another one, until the mushrooms bloom.

(cross-posting from my Mastodon account)

From 2003 - 2007, I raced amateur stock cars at Lake Geneva Raceway in Wisconsin. Racing runs on money, not fuel. I didn't have full sponsorship, so I learned to improvise - a lot.

So when I buy things and they end up not quite working out, my first thought is usually "How do I modify it to work like I want?"

That's why this crossbow holder now has a much different mount for my tree stand than what it came with.

This was the only planned high dollar purchase this year, so in before the tariffs. 3 lbs lighter, smaller footprint and I'm interested in how the crank cock/decock will work out. Wicked Ridge Commander M1.

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you…. In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself. ~ Ruth Stout
