Third spaces are gathering spots that are not homes, or work. public parks. community rec centers. libraries. spaces that ask nothing of those who visit.
during the first civil rights movement (and all historical insurgencies), third spaces were critical for organizing and community building. ever since then, the colonial state and corporations have been cutting into those third spaces more explicitly.

The Guardian · ‘The system is the problem, not people’: how a radical food group spread round the world By Damien Gayle

A guerrilla gardener in South Central LA

Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA -- in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys."

So the USDA had to update hardiness zones on a map becuz of climate change. I went from 6a to 6b. No plans for my future gardening have changed, but after comparing the current map to one from 2012, 6a is thinning out and 6b, 7a, and 7b are moving north with 6b thickening some. The only change I might see is how hearty invasive plants & persistent invasive pests could get.

Most of Ohio used to be 6a. Now a good chunk (if not most) is 6b.

If you garden in the US, check the USDA's latest hardiness zones map.
