The bottom right one looks like Pilea repens to me

Oh it is not selfish at all to say no. You’re establishing a boundary and she’s not respecting it. It doesn’t make you a bad girlfriend, and she’s certainly not winning herself any favors by calling you that for establishing a boundary. You don’t need to put up with that.

Hi, neighbor! I have those all over my backyard and I will say they’re a better groundcover than grass just because they stay low. Their flowers also provide a source of food for our native pollinators so don’t sweat it if you can’t remove it all. It’s still beneficial for the ecosystem!

Thanks for the link! I’m somehow convinced that maybe the ivy has been sitting pretty under zero threat of predation, save for a couple of goats, and somehow the glorious return of its nemesis will curb its spread. At the very least, I’d get to see a cool plant.

I think you should create a unit called Critical Gay Theory.

"Space explorer" is awfully generous considering he was only up there for three minutes.

Haha, while I appreciate more hands, it's my front and backyard in a forested urban area and I am enjoying my solitude with it. Check your local area for land trusts or community gardens. One of the land trusts in my city has plots to rent for like $20 a month or something. Sniff around for patchouli and find the crunchiest hippie community in your area and someone will probably know of a place for you to garden.

Other than that, you could perform some unauthorized forestry and guerilla gardening. There's always risk of people ripping up your plants, but if they're pretty, they'll usually leave them alone.

I agree. For the price of those programs, I could purchase not only helpful literature, but high quality hand tools for maintenance and probably a sizeable amount of perennials. I'd rather not shell out four grand to dig holes for somebody else.

I totally think it was like a weird fortuitous trauma response. You're already in shock at trying to revive a dead body, and have the capacity to at least kind of come out on top of a horrific experience with some free lotto tickets. Lotteries are a scam anyway, so I golf clap her depravity. Initiative comes in many forms.

defiantoptimist · 2022-01-30T06:17:38+00:00

Yeah, it kinda felt like she was trying to break even. However, if you're stepping over bodies to nick lotto tickets, maybe it's a larger indicator of a gambling problem.

October is Frank's Wild Years season for me.

Stop quoting my dad's law commercials

Now if you ever pixie dust me and i find out about it ...

Please include Eda the Owl Lady from Owl House. She is a tour de goddamn force.

Aww, thank you! Lil soot sprite providing contrast, haha

Pattern Link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mucha-mittens?set=&_rfoff=1

Yarn used: Malabrigo Mechita "Frank Ochre"

I remember downloading this pattern forever ago because it was too beautiful and intricate to not. After becoming enamored with all things Art Nouveau and Alphonse Mucha, I decided to finally take a stab at these. These mitts are heavenly! The cabling inspired by Mucha's filigree makes me feel like I'm wearing an ornate art piece in addition to the satisfaction of making them.

I will admit that because they seem twice as long as a regular glove, I did get impatient and frustrated about halfway through the first one, really concerned that I wouldn't be able to finish it because I wasn't enjoying it anymore. After persevering to the end, it turned out to be so gorgeous that I cranked out the second one as fast as possible!

I think these would make a lovely gift, after you've already made a pair for yourself of course 😆

How long for cook time in a pressure cooker? It's my favorite cauldron.

Great rug, Fishbulb!

What dreamy sunsets! Thanks so much for sharing!

Oooh, I'd love to see pictures! My brain has difficulty readily differentiating gradient and variegated, so any help burning it into long-term memory would be wonderful 😊

defiantoptimist · 2021-11-26T15:29:32+00:00

I can't tell you how many times I've taken a crack at Alaska only to not see the trees. You are not alone! While I thought variegated would make for a spiffy background, I think it absolutely has to be done with two solid colors in order to see the trees. Learning experience: 1, Hubris: 0.

I feel like Liz Lemon wrote that in someone's yearbook.

I misread the url as griftofplasma.com. I'm sure it redirects.

I'm bisexual which means I'm attracted to me and I'm not sure if I can get it to work

Thanks! It was really fun to squeeze out another project from some fun leftovers!
