Macro photo of very small Euphorbia flowers clustered at the tip of a spiny green stem. The cyathia are red with yellow centers and only a few millimeters wide, surrounded by long sharp spines.

Closer view of the same spiny Euphorbia. The segmented green stems fork repeatedly and are lined with white spines. Tiny reddish flower buds can be seen forming near the tips of some stems.

Wide view of a branching green Euphorbia growing in a gravel xeriscape garden. The plant has many upright angular stems covered in sharp white spines. From this distance the tiny flowers are not visible.

This Euphorbia is in full bloom 🌡✨

You just have to look very closely.

Large clump of an Aloe plant in bloom with many tall spikes of bright orange tubular flowers rising above blue-green spiny leaves in a dry garden bed.

The Washington Post died many years ago. It now serves billionaires, and its priorities are not compatible with ours.

Infuriating. I hate this country. Why are Republicans doing this to us?

Wake the fuck up Republicans. We need competent people leading the country, not loyalists.

Commander Bone Spurs should have never been elected. The USA is so fucking depressing.

I’m much more likely to eat vegetables when I grow them myself. Kale is a perfect example. Maybe a kale, sausage, and white bean soup is in my weekend plans. πŸ₯¬πŸ²

Specifically in Texas. I’ve always disliked how the GOP seems to own the Christian vote, when a lot of the values I associate with Christianity seem more aligned with Democrats, at least in my opinion.

I like him, and I like JC too, but I think JT will be great at expanding the base.

Are we still part of the the UN? Doesn’t the UN Charter prohibit the use of force except in cases of self-defense or with UN Security Council authorization?
