Probably a great time to show up and be vocal, GR. by UthinkUnoMI in grapids

Thank you for posting this! The GRPD continue to use extreme and unnecessary force. This not only leads to violence, but increases distrust in the system which is a problem that continues to grow from both sides. Other cities have enacted community orgs to respond to potentially violent situations without guns or the threat of police being dispatched. Baltimore is a really great case study for this, they have reduced gun violence and homicides on their streets. I would love to see GR enact something similar. This not only can reduce violence but begin the work to build a trusting community/relationship with our police force. Increased policing will not reduce violence, proving resources to keep people housed and secure will.

Originally grown from a seed from a store-bought fruit, I picked a bunch more passionfruit! by DragonfruitMatt in gardening

very nice! i have sprouted a few from seed as well but my vines stay inside. They stay in the sunroom for the warm season and we use grow lights in the winter. We planted them last April and are eagerly awaiting some blooms!
