    Omg, I have to worry about the polar vortex also! From what I read, I think this latest (or soon to happen in your country?) warming event should put it to an end for the season. I’ve been getting info from this page for long term event info, like the polar vortex, El Nino, etc. https://www.severe-weather.eu/

    It’s been kind of fun to mentally prepare with this info, plus getting to nerd out a little.

    I wish I knew more about flowing trees :( I’ve had great luck just emailing local professors/experts with plant questions, they usually get pretty excited because they get to knowledge dump on somebody new for once lol.

    When do the bumblebees start to come out in your area?












  • You’ll love this example of using native language. During the meeting where federal officials proposed the creation of an Indian Territory, the Choctaw tribe delegate Rev. Allen Wright suggested naming it “Oklahumma”. In the Choctaw language “okla” means “people” and “humma” means “red.” As a result, the area would be named Oklahoma Territory, or literally “Territory of the Red People.”

    There are some arguments that “Homma” can also be a war title given for not retreating, but within the context of our racial history I don’t think that’s what they were going for.
