Jungle DressThe Suriname cherry (aka Brazilian cherry) is considered invasive to Florida and people generally consider that to be a bad thing, but we’ve been experiencing drought since 2023 and I think we should reevaluate our feelings towards plants that produce food without human intervention or even rain. We should consider the Suriname cherry a miracle food. They are rich in Vitamin A & C, potassium and antioxidants. All this from sandy, nutrient-poor soil and little hydration. The ones in this photo are from the hedge between mine and my neighbor’s yard. You’ll see this plant randomly in neighborhoods, along the sidewalk. Pigeon peas, mangos, chaya and papayas are other edible plants that require little to no care, are drought tolerant, and give us nutrient-rich food. We struggle to grow “conventional” foods in our gardens, yet nature provides with ease. Lean into it. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Florida?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Florida</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/InvasivePlants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Gardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TropicalPlants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TropicalPlants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MotherNature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MotherNature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FreeFood?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeFood</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EdiblePlants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EdiblePlants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WildFood?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildFood</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/foraging?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foraging</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History February 4, 1974: The Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) kidnapped Patty Hearst, granddaughter of American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, in Berkeley, California. One of the SLA’s demands for releasing Hearst was for her family to pay for millions of dollars’ worth of food to be given out free the poor and unhoused of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Hearst complied, with various community organizations distributing 100,000 bags of groceries at 16 sites in 4 counties, before violence brought the program to a halt. The violence occurred because the crowds were bigger than expected and workers started throwing boxes of food off of moving trucks. As a captive, Patty Hearst was held in a closet, blindfolded, with her hands tied, raped and threatened repeatedly with death. She was later offered the choice of freedom, or joining the SLA. She chose the latter. Consequently, she was later sentenced to 35 years in prison for her complicity in SLA robberies. After several years in prison, her sentence was commuted by President Carter. President Clinton pardoned her. Congressional Representative Leo Ryan was murdered by the Jim Jones cult in Guyana several weeks after collecting signatures for her release. Actor John Wayne, of all people, expressed frustration that everyone accepted the idea that Jones had brainwashed hundreds of his followers into mass suicide, but wouldn’t accept that the SLA could have brainwashed a teenage girl. After her release, Hearst went on to become an actress, appearing in several John Waters films, as well as many others.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PattyHearst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PattyHearst</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unhoused" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unhoused</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JohnWaters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JohnWaters</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sla</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/torture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#torture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rape</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freefood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freefood</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/johnwayne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#johnwayne</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JimJones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JimJones</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/berkeley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#berkeley</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeless</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/symbioneseliberationarmy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#symbioneseliberationarmy</a>
