RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<p><strong><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScribesAndMakers</span></a> 2025.09.06 — What's the hardest thing about gardening?</strong></p><p>I fancy myself an amateur gardener, and I've grown plants in the yard every time I've had a yard in my life, beginning in my early teens. I've grown popcorn, regular corn, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, and squash, watermelon, and much more. Nothing beats the taste of fresh picked.</p><p>The hardest thing is dealing with disease. Each climate zone has its unique features and my current one has caused me to settle on growing strawberries in pots. Boysenberries happen, but getting the fruit is a thorny problem, as are the wild canes I'm often cutting. Growing tomatoes, my formerly go-to favorite, grows amazingly well and lush here—until downy mildew or black powder fungus turns the plants into sad puddles of mush, like flesh-eating bacteria except for plants. Squash gets sad, also, but ceases to produce, in both cases never producing enough to cover the labor and transplant costs involved, not to mention the psychological trauma.</p><p>My strawberries produce by the five-dollar basket almost daily during the various seasons they flower. So that's what I grow, mostly.</p><p>The second most hard thing: Watering <em>consistently.</em> Some plants aren't at all tolerant to drying out. I've recently thrown out a sage plant and a sensitive plant because they were, um, <em>sensitive</em> to drought.</p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a><br>photographer chef cooking <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gardener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardener</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/strawberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strawberry</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/strawberries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strawberries</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History September 6, 1869: The Avondale fire killed 110 miners, including several juveniles under the age of 10. It led to the first mine safety law in Pennsylvania. Avondale is near Plymouth, Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna River flows nearby. The mine had only one entrance, in violation of safety recommendations at the time. In the wake of the fire, thousands of miners joined the new Workingmen’s Benevolent Association, one of the nation’s first large industrial unions (and precursor to the United Mineworkers and the Knights of Labor). The union was ultimately destroyed through infiltration and sabotage by the Pinkertons. My book, “Anywhere But Schuylkill,” opens with this fire. My main character, Mike Doyle, joins the bucket brigade trying to put out the flames shooting out of the mineshaft. </p><p>You can get a copy of Anywhere But Schuylkill from any of these indie retailers:<br>keplers.com/<br><a href="https://www.greenapplebooks.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">greenapplebooks.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://christophersbooks.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">christophersbooks.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://boundtogether.org//" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">boundtogether.org//</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://www.historiumpress.com/michael-dunn" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">historiumpress.com/michael-dun</span><span class="invisible">n</span></a></p><p>Or send me $25 via Venmo (@Michael-Dunn-565) and your mailing address, and I will send you a signed copy!</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/avondale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>avondale</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disaster</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workplacedeaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workplacedeaths</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workersafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workersafety</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/historicalfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historicalfiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anywherebutschuylkill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anywherebutschuylkill</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/childlabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>childlabor</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

Lisa Shea<p>Anthropic blatantly stole authors' books to train its AI. They're being penalized $1.5 billion. However, only authors who had the money to file legal copyrights on every one of their books will see a penny of that. So this primarily benefits authors with publishers or who had money to start with. Still, it's a step forward. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a></p>
