My friend and @reckoningmag.bsky.social editor emeritus Danika Dinsmore asks us to join in 10 days of “Creative Activism for R/Evolution”, starting now. I don’t know about you but I sure could use some constructive distraction. So let’s go

#CreativeR3volution day 7 of 10: this vine-choked, brookside tangle, (one of) my plant based white whale(s), where I can toil endlessly without making a dent in the absolute riot of noxious invasive species, a Franken-ecosystem unto themselves. Strikes me much of late as a metaphor for everything

In the woods yesterday: new murder hut just dropped

#CreativeR3volution day 5 of 10

#CreativeR3volution day 8 of 10: neighbor challenged me to make a mallet out of a piece of firewood and it is just the kind of wearing myself out I need. Stay tuned, my arm is tired

I’m late with #CreativeR3volution day 3 of 10, but here, behold my current seed-starting situation. These are all saved seeds from previous gardens: pole bean, bush beans, tomatoes, chiles, dill, fennel, borage, basil, lettuce, collards

#CreativeR3volution day 4 of 4: I took my machete out to the tangle for a spin in its new sheath, and I found this entire marsh surrounded by hitherto impassible bittersweet thicket. Doesn’t look like much but there’s turtles and a goose nesting on a muskrat lodge in there. Also the birds are back

#CreativeR3volution day 1 of 10: yard sign machete sheath! Got any old political yard signs gathering dust now that fascism is the law of the land? Got a beat up old garden tool slash universal symbol of revolution in need of safe harbor? Follow me

#CreativeR3volution day the last: homemade invasive wood book stand! @danikadale.bsky.social was good enough to bring some stands to sell @reckoningmag.bsky.social at AWP, they’re great, I need some, and I have a ton of scrap wood including glossy buckthorn saplings. Hand saw, drill, whittling

#CreativeR3volution day 2 of 10: my current mad science experiment, a 2% ABV live-fermented maple sap seltzer, 7 days old—I put it in just before I left for AWP—and this picture is taken just after discovering I put the wizard together wrong and sprayed a pint of it all over my basement

Response to prompt for C.A.R/E challenge:

#CreativeR3volution day 6 of 10: stinging nettle. I managed to raise one plant from a wild-harvested seed and establish it in my tiny meadow last year; now it has multiplied! Folks in the UK will likely think me mad, but nettle is native, medicinal, delicious, and I am very happy to reintroduce it

My husband was in a band decades ago. During COVID lockdown, they started rerecording and remixing all their songs. First launched today.

Place machete on yard sign as shown in previous skeet, trace it in sharpie, flip along the blunt side and repeat. Cut through the plastic as traced (exacto knife works), crimp, fold, then use hammer and an 8penny nail to poke sewing holes along the outer edge. #CreativeR3volution

Whoever started this account is my hero today. Activists, we must retain our sense of humor.
