21. 100%. We will need every scrap of food

Jun 2025

we can grow. I started my garden way earlier this year to get a head start. There’s been lots of covering with the whacked out weather but I think it’ll end up being a win in the end even with all the extra efforts.

Even with the cold and rain, there’s a science fiction convention here in Missoula as well as the Pride celebration. The streets have been packed with glorious weirdos and people having a good time. Nobody being angry assholes that I’ve seen or heard about. It’s been a nice reprieve from the dystopian hellscape that is now our existence. Missoula recently adopted the Pride flag as an official city flag and our thug Governor’s panties were all bunched up over that…he said we should be ashamed. I thought that would make you crack a smile.
