organic gardening and privilege

I just this morning responded to a response I had from poster CantStoptheSignal on the subject of permaculturists being dismayed by the phenomenon of what they call 'entryism', in other words, new people trying to take over their movement, which movement is, I might add, complete non political.

Now, I am a fan of CantStoptheSignal, and greatly admire that poster's acumen and brilliance as showed in many diaries and posts.

Welcome to Sunday All Day Brunch. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you.

I was going to do part two of the soup recipes but unfortunately I hurt my back and can’t sit at the computer for more than a couple of minutes. My Doctor put me on new medicine and my body is getting used to it and I fell yesterday pulling a muscle in the back.

Presidential Elections and Liberals: A Love Story? (Part 2)

Submitted by HenryAWallace on Sun, 10/02/2016 - 8:46am

Part 1 of this series1 ended with the start of the Great Migration of African Americans, many of them Republicans, from the South to cities in other parts of the country. Abroad, several nations were waging World War I.

Suffering heavy losses and other hardships in World War I, the Russian military was verging on mutiny. In 1905, Russian civilians had attempted a revolution, resulting in significant reforms, including the Russian Constitution of 1906, but not in conclusive victory for the revolutionaries. In March, 1917 (February, Julian calendar), they attempted a second revolution. Leaders of the Russian military did not try to suppress it, but, again, the revolutionaries did not prevail.2 Russia went on with a loose(ish) form of dual government. In 1917, the U.S. entered World War I.

The Waffle Queen, also known as #WhichHillary, has responded to a request for her comments by the New England Journal of Medicine

An uncritical reading will think Medusa's "vision for health care" is just wonderful. However, we must read everything the Mad Bomber says, and parse it like a lawyer--just as she is and she does.

We Are Not Hearing the Truth About Aleppo and Syria: Running Toward War

Submitted by Bonnie on Sat, 10/01/2016 - 6:06pm

With increased bombing, inflamed rhetoric rising on all sides and open talk of using nuclear weapons in the foreseeable future, I started digging for a more accurate assessment of the situation in Syria. The dense fog of war generated by TPTB is unprecedented; earlier attempts at understanding the players and dynamics had me signing off in frustration. Yesterday, though, I began to locate some credible sources.

It's another week has passed, and I'm still in another world across the sea. I hope the world is spinning your way. Let me share a little of what I'm seeing, and ask you to do the same. What is the world like where you are? What did you learn that was of interest or importance this week? I'll try to contribute in the comments, and hope you will too.
