I love being able to sit at my father's old desk and work every morning. I've placed it in front of a sunny window and decorated it with his old typewriter on which he typed out all manner of work correspondence back in the day. Add a cup of coffee and my laptop and it's the perfect place to wake up and watch the world.

This morning it's not even daylight yet and I can still hear the songs of some lively birds nearby. It sounds like I live in one of my favorite childhood Disney movies at times like this. If only those birds would help with the housework!

Spring is definitely here in all its glory. (And with all its pollen. Seriously, my Jeep is so covered that it looks like a different vehicle.)

I've been growing veggies out on the patio. I have peas, radishes, and lettuce going at this point and they appear to be thriving on my bright, sunny Southern-facing patio. Being in the city, my goal isn't to grow all my food year-round like it might be for some of you. I just hope to grow enough produce over the summer that I can get away without buying any.

My houseplant, Keith Richards, is out there enjoying some indirect sunlight. I named him Keith Richards because no matter what sort of abuse or neglect he faces, he just doesn't die (unlike the rest of my houseplants.) I'm far better at growing things outdoors than indoors.

I hope your gardens and seedlings are going well too!

OUR RESPONSE TO LOOMING CENSORSHIP

I just got out of Facebook jail, and I am sick of being censored. Not just there, but everywhere, really. The creepily named Disinformation Governance Board is the last straw.

It seems like 1984 is here, and we at The OP have made the decision to fight back.

I refuse to play their game, it’s unwinnable. It doesn’t matter how much we dial it back, our content is STILL being censored.

So forget that. We’re playing OUR game and we vow to continue bringing you the same information we would have without a Ministry of Truth threatening our livelihoods.

Since I began, I've been on a mission to provide information. I want my website, my life’s work, my voice, and my writers' voices to continue to be a voice for freedom and critical thinking.

I am determined not to be silenced.

The team and I got together, and we’ve decided to be proactive rather than reactive, here’s what we came up with:

I would like to introduce The Official Newsletter of the Apocalypse.

This PDF will be sent to you once per month, on the 15th, and it will contain all the articles published on The OP over the previous month. You can save it to your computer, print it out, or download it to your USB archive. (If you haven’t gotten your archive yet, you can grab it here for only $99.)

For this newsletter, we have made it as affordable as possible while still covering our costs.

The price during our presale begins at a mere $4.14 when purchased as an annual subscription.

Our first newsletter will come out on May 15th. If you order now, during our presale, not only do you get a lower price, but you'll also get the content from the beginning of the year to now, absolutely free. You can choose either a yearly or monthly subscription. The presale price is only available for a few days.

Thank you all for your support, and for sticking around with me for the past decade. Thank you all for letting me provide you with the information that I believe to be relevant. I hope you'll go with me on the next leg of this journey as we continue to fight to share REAL information.
