What if the US is being isolated in steps?
Make the economy function within, sans foreign trade.
Make enemies of neighboring foreign countries so we have nowhere to turn.
But we don't have enough 'low economy' work force.
End abortion and force increased childbirth numbers on those who can't afford kids, and who can't fight the system.
Use schools and education as an excuse to program the populus for compliance, to give up their daily 8 hours, from childhood through retirement.
Never question the government. They have your best interests at heart.
This is just an innocent book report. π

popcorn gives erasing history: how fascists rewrite the past to control the future four stars βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
this book is short (190 pages!) but thorough and written with language even popcorn can understand. it was written in the lead-up to the 2024 election and includes passages on project 2025. popcorn recommends this book to everyone, especially americans.
one passage that stood out to popcorn: βthe dismantling of public education is backed by oligarchs and business elites alike, who see in democracy a threat to their power, and in the taxes required for public goods a threat to their wealth. public schools are the foundational democratic public good. it is therefor perfectly logical that those who are opposed to democracy, including fascist and fascist- leaning movements, would join forces with right wing libertarians in undermining the institution of public education entirely.β
oof.
follow for more recommendations from popcorn.

I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY.
It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself.
100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry.
Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.)
I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt.
Apply less and layer the wax as needed.
Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush.
Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200β° F briefly.)
Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.)
Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed.
*A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge )
I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

*Native* Seed B*mbs.
The local wildlife will love you for it.
TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry.
Long form:
Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water.
Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost.
Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency.
Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture.
Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter.
Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant.
Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.
