My very first harvest of lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) is somehow ready to dry. I only rescued this friend from the discount section at Canadian Tire a couple of weeks ago and haven’t gotten around to repotting it, but it managed to transform from straggly to lush and fluffy anyway. On brand somehow– a plant with very happy vibes.
I was coincidentally gushing about Sunaura Taylor last night, then woke up and realized she’s on the latest episode of Death Panel to discuss a new book called Disabled Ecologies.
I’m 10 minutes in and it’s already so good– looking at ecological damage as both a cause of and a type of disability, and many connected ideas and movements.
