Happy native plant month! You can use this tool, developed at UMass Amherst, to choose climate-smart native plants for your garden (and find places to buy them) - climatesmartnativeplants.org/plant-selection
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! This looks so cool!!
i do think its funny that there was someone who went 'massachusetts-official doesn't post anything about where i live... i'll make my own blog!' and now someone is going westernmass-posting doesn't post anything about where i live...
maybe we'll get a western-western-mass blog? maybe eventually someone will say 'the great barrington blog doesn't post anything about where i live... i'll make a north egremont blog!'
my god, im in at floor two of the world's least profitable pyramid scheme

This card is meant to be printed at 3.5" x 2.3", as wide as a standard business card.
This broke yesterday - MAGA is going after Smith College for admitting trans women students. There has to be some sort of planned action or protest in the works, I just haven't seen anything yet. I want to spread the word.
CNN article. NYT article. Be warned, both articles are hard reads filled with dehumanizing language towards trans women.
TLDR: The Trump administration has launched its first investigation into women's colleges that admit trans women. The administration has chosen to target Smith College. When this investigation is finished, it will create a precedent that will be forced onto all other women's colleges.
Title IX contains a single-sex exception that allows colleges to enroll all-male or all-female student bodies. The administration's claim is that allowing trans students to enroll violates that single-sex exception.
It’s spring now. Warmer temperatures are coming. Best ice cream shops in the area?
Give me your faves!
Speaking of a lack of representation for the Berkshires, I wanted to shout out Sanctum @ Wander in Pittsfield. It's an awesome queer goth night we're trying to get eyes on. The next one is May 22nd, bug themed. There'll be vendors and a drag show. I wanna see more local bats and ghouls show up!!
BUG THEMED QUEER GOTH NIGHT!!!

Westfield too?? they're also trying to build one in Holyoke.
It is not a surprise that they're targeting our most marginalized communities...
