Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

See, when I call them feralberries, I'm not wrong!

(Ours are the Himalayan ones.)

The status is NOT quo.

I sadly have no man in a kilt to get me through my day.
I could loan you one, but he comes with other issues. Fair warning!

I'm another username problem, I know. Kristen was here long before me (I'm a newbie, only having been here four years), but I wanted to remove my last initial recently in order to have a bit more privacy. I should probably consider changing my nickname entirely.

FWIW, I almost never get you guys mixed up, mostly because you don't post together that often, i think.

Yep, those are what are in the back corner of my yard. With thistles sprouting out of them, which makes me VERY unhappy. Plei, if I went after the thistles with long-handled clippers (and gloves and long sleeves!), do you think I'd be able to remove them?

Going by the images, the feralberries are definitely blackberries--

They are a great luxury during the season. When I worked at University Hospital I commuted on the trail along Lake Union. On the way in I would gorge myself on those blackberries. I would feel a little sick by the time I got to work, but usually recovered enough to gorge myself again on the way home.

I do all the time on scrolling.

cobbler is my favorite thing in the world.

I had the most amazing peach cobbler in Florida last month.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

there are a couple of trees in the neighborhood that bear what looks like blackberries. is that possible? from a tree, not a bush. Anyway, I always want to figure out a way to pick a bunch, but it seems odd to be picking up dropped berries on a NYC sidewalk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need to make an apple cobbler, because I have this: [link] and haven't used it yet! Cute.

I think my parents have mulberry or something tree in their backyard, but the berries never get ripe before the squirrels eat them.

Yeah, you should be.
