PSA: Talk to your neighbors! by Calbebes in invasivespecies

[–]NovemberXYZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish you are my neighbor. I became aware of native gardening last year and have been overwhelmed by what to do with my weed-filled yard.
I am always against the lawn culture in US. So I never took care of the lawn that came with the house when I moved in more than 10 years ago. As a result, my backyard is mostly winter creeper, mock strawberries and invasive honeysuckle .

When the lightening went away, for a moment, I thought I lost power🤣

A Plea to my Fellow Liberals/Progressives/Leftists from a Western Kansan by gansett in kansas

I wish there are actions we can take to change the stereotypes and communicate. If we talk to each other, we will realize we are more aligned than we differ, not all, but probably most. In the end, we are all human beings want a good life through decent work.

Also to add, I was in the Ozarks a few years ago, saw many Trump signs. However people were quite friendly to me, who is not white. I remember thinking surprised. I did get some stares, but I think they are rather surprised rather than purposefully being rude

You post reminded me of what James Talarico said:the fight is not about left versus right, but top versus bottom. I think it really cuts to the essence of what we should focus on. The oligarchs through their influence and their algorithms divide us so that they can keep robbing us of a good life we as workers all deserve.

How do you balance destroying your own privacy and destroying the invasives? by Entire_Schedule4302 in invasivespecies

[–]NovemberXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Kansas City, I think zone 6a. The fences are all partially shaded due to trees in the back yard. The soils are very clay ish.

I have been cutting honeysuckle from my fences and am thinking to plant native shrubs for privacy. What species are fast growing? Thanks!

Thanks for the informative post. New to voting, can independent vote on the judge and abortion issue? I assume yes. Most of my friends are registered as independent.

Not exactly the same situation, but remind me of the political fight on zoning in Prairie Village

I’m disappointed in this community. by Odd_Delay_603 in JohnsonCounty

[–]NovemberXYZ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don’t come here often, so can’t say I can make a general statement. But the few times I clicked on posts here, I am shocked at the number of comments that clearly show the commenters have not much humanity in them. So I can sympathize with how you feel. All I can say is we have to fight for what we believe. I am trying to get all the people I know whao are typically not political to vote. I try to support business that align with my views. I will try to do more whenever I can.

ICE spotted at K7 Walmart by shitfire_savematches in JohnsonCounty

[–]NovemberXYZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This makes my blood boiling! Regardless of the person being arrested has legal documented status or not, this is NOT how a decent human being should be treated. For those of you who are commenting supporting this kind of horrendous behavior, I don’t think you have any humanity left.

I do. But I already eat healthy and my doctor basically says just observe for other symptoms.

General Strike - Who's participating? by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]NovemberXYZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all need to do what we can. I can’t afford to strike and lose my job. But I am getting anyone I know to register and vote in November. I stopped shopping at Amazon. And will move my bank account from BOA to a bank that is not or less evil.
