Hahaha, oh that video made me smile, thanks!
I just found Russkaja's album "No One Is Illegal" and I'm jamming on that now.
I'll check out Rotfront too later. Thank you
from the album Songs From Under The Sink
LYRICS
Thank you, Mr. Officer Great
For all the things you've said to me
For all the good that you have ever done
>
Without you, what would I be?
You're the gas upon my flames
My love and rage all rolled up into one
For every time your gun goes off
A new rebel is born
So when there's 41 bullets
It's 41,000 thorns in your side
We'll take a ride down to Precinct 29
And we'll sing and dance and break the code of silence
> >
Thank you Governor, thank you Governor
To the Mayor and the commissioner
Your monster is alive now
She's taking to the streets
Crashing through your operahouse
And tearing out the seats
For every time you've signed your name
Someone out there dies
Found a wallet, not a gun
And mother's wiping tears from her eyes
We despise your hollow truths and honest lies
Now you can't sing the monster into slumber
> >
Thanks, bastards!
You made me what I am
Thanks, bastards!
I took the goods and ran
> >
Homeland security vs. civil liberty
I'm studying in the shadows of our state
I've seen the bones they try to hide
Cutthroat living's other side
The flood of U.S. bathwater displaced
The funeral march of all the victims
Of your power war
Rob the rights and steal the nights
And rebels shall be born
Forevermore
You're the storm
We shall play after it pours
And joy is sure to come after your silence
> >
Thanks, bastards!
You made me what I am
Thanks, bastards!
I took the goods and ran
This is great! Looking forward to diving into more of their music
If you have any other songs to recommend, I'd love to know!
Brutal! Really sorry to hear that. Sounded like you liked it.
Thanks man. Almost 20yr long profession, and I think this is finally what's gonna get me to switch things up.
You should maybe try Nursery work - there are companies out there that supply plants for reclamation projects.
Funny enough, one of the few gigs I applied to while waiting to hear the news from my boss was in fact a reclamation project, helping with the large dam removal here in OR. They had filled the position already tho. But that is the kind of career pivot I'd love to make!
But, I do love me some harebrained schemes! I'm all ears if you hear of anything.
Moving back to the city will be good for me - it's where all my people and support networks are, it's just not what I'd prefer to be doing long term.
No more ladies currently growing unfortunately...
A wildfire a few years ago hurt the business, and an ice storm this last winter sealed the deal - the company folded... About to move back to the city soon in hopes of better employment
For me in my line of work N, K and P is always the easiest. It's always Ca and Mg causing problems
(Sidenote... It hurts that the meme isn't in N-P-K order lol)
Nice, I'm bookmarking that one!
I got this one here a while ago after hearing lots of good things, tho admittedly haven't gotten around to reading it just yet. It's on my short list for next up tho
Oregonian here. There's currently over 100 fires burning across our state. 5 of them currently considered mega-fires.
Our state-level firefighters, as well as the federal-level are seriously, seriously underpaid. If you're the letter-to-politician-writing type, please help advocate for better pay and benefits for our firefighters
Its been awhile since I've lived in the city, and even longer since I've visited these folks' place, but if you're in the Portland, OR area Free Geek is definitely worth checking out!

Awesome, thank you so much!
I do vaguely remember reading a bit about that monument removal..

Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to have to dive down the rabbit hole on Elizabeth Gurley Flynn this weekend. If you have any links to share for further reading, I'd be grateful!
from the album Valhalla, Definitely
I'm really not a fan of that type of dehumanizing language. But I understand the sentiment. This is one of the worst cases in recent memory of law enforcement's complete lack of regard for human life... This was a really difficult video to watch...
LYRICS
Cops shot him in the back, cops shot him in the head
Cops choked out a man and beat him half to death
You see it all the time on the news
Or on the block that you live as you cruise
They killed Alex Nieto before he went to work
Some gentrifying yuppie called the pigs, what a jerk
Cos they saw a young brother with a tazer at his side
He worked security, still shot him 59 times
Sandra Bland roughed up and arrested
For speaking her mind to a cop she detested
In the morning they find her strung up on a rope
Called it suicide, yeah right, nope!
Eric Garner got choked out for selling cigarettes
Told the cop "I can't breathe" still ended up dead
Freddie Gray got his neck snapped in the back of a van
Because he ran, Baltimore, god damn
> [Chorus]
Indite, convict, send those killer cops to jail
The whole damn system is guilty as hell >
Fong Lee killed by Minneapolis PD
Met his mom and pops, cried with his family
Police claims the kid had a gun, video shows empty hands as he runs
Bay Area won't forget Oscar Grant
New Years night, the whole train heard a bang
Shot him in the back, while cuffed face down
This is what happens when you're black in the town
A long list of lives that left this earth
By the hands who swore to protect and serve
They got the nerve to take our tax
Yet they shoot us down when we fight back
Protest in peace, they release the dogs
Try to use their courts when they break the law
No faith in the system that protects the rich
And condemns the poor and takes their shit
[Chorus]
Corrupt coppers, all over the world
From Mexico to Mindanao, who do you serve?
Corporations getting down, extracting the earth
Tearing down shanty towns, down in the dirt
Increase police before they gentrify hoods
And the beast to displace people that stood
It's a work in progress I guess
You protest this mess they attack our flesh
Chained up, toed up, profiled, humiliated
Walking down the street, while whiteboys get inebriated
Hate the feeling of being innocent
Cos it means you become a victim
They say some cops ain't that bad
I say it's the system so don't get mad
Bodyguards of the state and market too
Supersedes the needs of me and you
The video released Monday shows a tense moment in which former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson yells at Sonya Massey over moving a pot from the stove.

LYRICS
Soon he’ll be a prisoner like his comrades have become
But he’s proud when he tells their story cuz he’s proud of what they’ve done
He’s an anti-fascists from the ranks of the working-class
And when the Nazis come to town he doesn’t let em pass
>
He’s says “my grandfather fought fascists cuz it’s what he had to do
You can threaten me with prison time but I’ll fight fascists too
Maybe my body be a barricade that won’t let fascist through
In the name of my grandfather, and for me and you, And for the future we’ll fight fascists too
>
He says “two years is injustice, but it’s twice as good as four,
A much higher price was paid by those who suffered through the war
And I’ll be damned if my action lets that power rise again
We can bury the hatchet once we bury fascism
>
Cuz my grandfather fought fascists cuz it’s what he had to do
You can threaten me with prison time but I’ll fight fascists too
Maybe my body be a barricade that won’t let fascist through
In the name of my grandfather, and for me and you,
And for the future we’ll fight fascists too
>
It takes more than fists to stop oppression for hate’s born in the heart
But alongside the slow shifts, the fist must play its part
For the violent deeds of a fascist few can silence everyone
We can bury the hatchet once we bury fascism
>
Cuz my grandfather fought fascists cuz it’s what he had to do
You can threaten me with prison time but I’ll fight fascists too
Maybe my body be a barricade that won’t let fascist through
In the name of my grandfather, and for me and you,
And for the future we’ll fight fascists too
LYRICS
Skinheads ain't 'bout shit (x2)
Fuck supremacists (x2)
Crackers tryna get some clout quick
Run they mouth slick
Pull up to yo hood? I doubt it
Get surrounded
White genocide a damn lie
Ain't finna be another Auschwitz
100-round drum on my damn side
Go tell that on the mountain
Think ‘bout your blood, think ‘bout your kids
When it get lit, will you be equipped?
Who finna die if it's us vs. them?
Get you a stick, gon’ let it hit
Might be the man in your delegates
Might damn well be the president
Might be ya next door neighbors
Hashtag that ass for the paper
If your mans and them get upset
Wanna object? That's suspect
When it comes down to the get down
Will they stand up for the unrest?
Look, I give no fuck what you look like, let's link up
Cuz this still our nation, they ain't finna take it
We got no patience for Aryan hatred
If God what they playin’, send 'em to Satan
It ain't no tellin’ where they finna take it
We need the peace, but we don't need a racist
If you think I'm finna die on my knees
I gotta squeeze, ain't no debatin’
Fuck the alt right
Motherfuck the alt right
Fuck 45
Motherfuck 45 (x2)
Hit them nazi punks with the pump, leave they ass slumped (x4)
Scientists warn of ‘scary’ feedback loop in which fires create more heating, which causes more fires worldwide

LYRICS:
Are there no fighters left here anymore?
Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
Or are we patiently burning
Waiting to be saved?
>
Our heroes, our icons have mellowed with age
Following rules that they once disobeyed
They're now being led when they used to lead the way
>
Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?
Are you out there on the front lines
Or at home keeping score?
And do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
>
They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
And when they are gone
Who the fuck's gonna take their place?
>
Yeah, will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
The cliché apathetic passed out on the floor
The trusting complicit who collectively ignore
>
Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?
Are you out there on the front lines
Or at home keeping score?
And do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
>
Don't you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire?
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
>
And don't you remember when we were young
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
'Cause I still am, and I still do
>
Make no mistake
We are not afraid
To bear the burden of repeating
What they're thinking anyway
Let's raise the stakes
On the bet we made
Let's decide to be the architects
The masters of our fate
>
Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before
And after everything we've seen here maybe even more
And I know we're not the only ones and we were not the first
Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word
Oh damn. Was coolroms part of that too? I've used emuparadise and coolroms a bunch over the years. Kinda makes me want to stock up just in case
I really thought that the headline had to be at least just a little hyperbolic...
Nope. It's for real.

What the actual fuck...
USDA organic standards is what I'm looking for, or other US certs.
The commercial greenhouse already exists. It's about to get new owners, and is going to change crop types.
I was asked about the possibility of facilitating the switch, and looking for resources to guide me.
This was the very first Outkast track I ever heard!
Still goes hard all these years later.
